THE VILLAGE CHOIR.
Half a bar, half n bur,
Ralf a bar onward 1
Into an awful ditch,
Choir and Precentor bitch,
Into a mess of piton,
They led the Old Hundred,
Trebles to right of them,
'Tenors to Zeit of them,
Rnsr00 in front of them,
Bellowed and thundered,
0, that Precentor's look,
When the sopranos took
Their own time and hook,
From the Old Hundred.
Soreeehed all the treblos here,
Boggled the tenors there,
liaising the parson's hair,
While his mind wandered ;
'Theirs not to reason why
This psalm was pitched too high ;
Theirs but to gasp and cry
Out the 013 Hundred.
Trebles to right of them,
Tenors to left of them,
Bassos in front of them,
Mellowed and thundered.
Stormed they with shout and yell,
Not wise they sang, nor well,
Drowning the sexton's bell,
While all the church wondered.
Dire the Precentor's glare,
Flash'd bis pitchfork in the air,
Sounding fresh keys to beer
Out the Old Hundred.
Swiftly he turned his book,
Reached he bis hat from rack,
Then from the screaming pack
Himself he sundered,
Tenors to right of him,
Trebles to left of him;
Discords behind him,
Bellowed and thundered.
0,the wild howls they wrought
Right to the end they fought 1
Some tune they sang, but not,
Iiot the Old Hundred.
RING ME A SONG OF THE OLDEN
TIME.
Ringfine a song of the olden time—
•'Bighland Laddie" and "Bonnie Ooon,"
Sing to nae now in the fading light,
Icor my heart goes bock to my youth to-
night—.
Sing me some dear old tune.
And I will dream as I hear your voice,
Sweet and louder, and strong, and clear,
Likeyour• Inother''s voice, when those songs
she sung
Tong ago when we both wero youog—
You are so like her, dear.
Take down her harp and touch the strings;
Too long, too long, have they silent been;
My /wart has boon Tull of hurry and strife,
And the aoro and worry of active lifo—
T long for the songs again.
Sing 'IC Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Doon;'
Your mother sang that oohs to you
While she rocked you there on her breast to
sleep—
Dear littlo daughter do not weep—.
Sing mo the old songs, too,
Ring "Logan Water" and "Land o' the
Leal,"
"Annie Laare" and "Banks o' Dee ;"
Dear old songs that w0 never forgot ;
Over my heart they urs echoing yet
she sang them all to me.
No music over so sweet can be
As the baneful lays of the dose of yore,
Sung by mother and sister and wife;
And now, my child, in this later life,
I would hoar those songs onto more.
So sing rue a song of tho olden time--
"HighlandLardis" or "Bonnie Doou ;"
Sing to me now in the fading light,
For my heart goes back to my youth to..
Sing me some dear old tune.

PICKING OUT GOOD ORANGES.
To very many an orange 18 an

able being in size and, corresponding
price, while those who know the dif-
ference between "Florida," "Seville,"
and "14Lessina," oranges aro consider-
ed experts, The "Florida Catechism"
tells us better than that. We learn
from it that there are "over thirty"
varieties of sweet oranges, not to
mention the "natural stook," which
is a larger and handsomer fruit thou
the moot orange, cruel is excellent for
oraugsado and marmalade, bot, being
very'sour, to seldom shipped North.
The medium eine are apt to be the
choicest, and "probably the very
sweetoet orange that is marketed 10
the rusty coated mai rather iii -look-
ing orange, which might ba consider-
ed inferior by an amateur." Furth.
e0m0130 :—"The way to detect prang•
es is to ']left' them in your hands ;
pink out the tlun-shinned heavy fruit,
and you are all right." The light
weight fruit is apt to bo juiceless, a
condition caused either by a alight
freezing while on the tree, or, more
probably, by the poverty of the soil
in which it grew.
All this applies to the sstoat orang-
es. Tho "laid glove" oranges are
grown in Florida from two stooks
brought respectively, from China and
Tangiers, Howie they are called
Itladarin and Tangiers, Both are
small; the skin is loose and easily
removed and the sections fall apart
so readily that a lady can eat one
without Boiling her gloves ; honoo the
name.
Some ether interesting bits of ill,
formation may be picked out from
this "Catechism." Ib is not generally
known, for instance, that "au orange
that is entirely dead ripe in Decemb-
er will hang on the trop until March,
and is ready at any time to be picked
and shipped"; while so far from de-
toriorating, "the longer they hang on
the trees the sweeter they grow," and
Florida oranges, purchased 113. Feb.
ruary and March, aro therefore' apt to
be better than those procured early
in the season, Again, the notion
that, to know what on orange is really
like, ono must go where rho oranges
grow appears to bo a popular fallaoy,
