How we Managed It.

Ir was Sunday morning at the hotel. Of course it was Sunday morning at other places too; but other places had their regular Sunday routine, while the Hotel had been but newly opened. The Hotel, I say,—with a large ; the capital letter makes it definite for the party who were staying there. Where it was need not be made definite for the reader ; enough to know that it was at the seaside. ,Ilere you observe one of the advantages of writing over speech. How could you distinguish by epeakine that “seaside” is meant, aod not Seaside! To write Sea- side with a big S, would localize the spo' while the small initial leaves it in « romantic, dreamy vagueness. The Hotel then, had been newly opened, and it was Sanday morning. What was to be dene on this day ef rest? How could doing and resting be satisfactorily and holily combined? That was the problem that faced ua,

The truth is, some of the party were rather sorry that it was Sunday. They had made a fair start in the gama of nme-pins, and a fascinating game it is at “ne ena of the alley. They felt them- selves making progress; the great necessity how was regular practice. Here was an instance, one folt, of arrested develop- ment. Imagine a stone falling from 8 great height. At fiest it drens itaslf gently, ag if feeling the way. The next secund it doubles its speed. In two seconds more, it has

doubled its speed again, and 80 on ad terram fimam. Now, imagine that stone, in the course of its fall, lighting upon a_ sacred second

of time, and being brought up suddenly, just waen it had attained a dashing, inter- esting velocity, with some such injunction as this, ‘falling stone, stop and wait a second; there, now go on as before.” But it cannot go on as before, that is, as im- mediately before: it has sorrowfully to begin all over. And such seemed Sanday to our progressive bowlers. I[t was au interruption that, while nominally resting one, actually put one back. The bowling alley, however, was too much like work aud was entirely out of the count. Some- thing else must be tried than this.

Should there be swimming or bathing ? I do not mean, should there be bathing, a8 more appropriate to the Sunday, regard- ing the other as the more secular week-day exercise! (This, by the way, is a new point in Sabbatarian differentiation, and deserves to be noted for future reference ) But I mean, should there be either swim- ming or bathing, swimming for those who could swim, and bathing for those who were only learning to swim! This matter was not pronounced upen finaily. It was discovered that one of the party had consulted his own pleasure, and taken a morning plange at the very hour when the others, also consulting or at least enjoying, their own pleasure,

were taking a morning snooze. The amouat of bodily surface that might lawfully come in contact with water,

whether fresh or salt, was left to each one’s personal preference. No doubt this was a compromise for peace sake, and resembled a Union prayer meeting after a general and | candid enquiry into the exact meaning of baptizo. Proverbs were brought in as } evidence on the point, but proverbs, like texts, could be made to work both ways. That ‘‘cleanliness was uext to godliness,” no one could dispute. Bat it could be in- terpreted in different ways. One party might argue that the only legitimate mean- ing of it was that godliness was for Sun- day, and cleanliness for Monday; ihus giving 4 sort of moral support to the custom ef making Monday the wash-dsy But then another might argue that the deeper meaning was that godliness was for within and cleanliness for without, and that they shonld be as close together as possible, both in spaco and time. This would justify bathing at least, and indirectly swimming, a3 the most efficient mode of bath. Every- one therefore, fortifying himself with his own interpretation of the text, or proverb, if you will—thonght it as good as some of Solomon’s proverbs, all of which are like- wise texte—bathed or swam or abstained from both, according to his own sweet will,

Yet even those who cared to swim could not stay in the water all day. Clearly it would not do for cleanliness to monopsiize the whole. Afterthe deluge, what! Why service, to be svre. Was there not a minister at the hotel.

1 am not certain whether the word ‘ser- vice’ should or should not have a capital letter. Here is one of the compensating advantages of speech. Why isit that the most formal of all religious duties is, par excellenre, called service? I will not offer five dollars to have this poser answered— for, besides plilslogieal lore, there is needed a yvod insight into the human habit of deterioration. But 1 may say, to en- courage interest in both science and reli- gion, that the one who first explains this marvellous perversion will be allowed to contribute that sum to buy hymn-books for the hotel.

Yes, there would be Service—in my im- partiality I now spell it with a capital. And there would be singing and a collec- tion, The minister should not have the whole matter to himself. He was not a Churchman—here again note the effect of the large C—so there could be no responses. Yet we are not to be cheated out of the music—the prelude, the verses proper, and the anthem, which last is supposed to soften the heart into profuse liberality, and also to withdraw attention from the publicity of the act.

A hint, dropped a few lines above, may have already told the reader that hymuals were not abundant. We could only muster three, and of these one was unlike the other two. Therefore some well-known words must be chosen, and equally well known music, and the former the minister did at once with praiseworthy promptness. Three favorite hymns were selected by him and given over to the choir directresses for them to supply the tunes. Two of these were in common mct’e, and never before, perhaps, was common metre so painfully uncommon. ‘* Coronation,” all were agreed on, from long and worthy association. Bu‘ the other common matre tune—ah! this was the perplexity. It would not do to sing the diff>rent verses to different airs, thus giving each singer in

turn a chance to be leading voice. No. All must sing the same tune, even if one or two had to learn it on the spot, Choir practice

was accordingly begun. In cities, we know, they hold such practices on week-

ays; but really our infringement on week-

diy rights was quite unavo'dable. After a time two-thirds of our responsibility could be contemplated without fear; and for the last hymn, the remaining third, the hymnals had furnished appropriate music. The metre was six lines sevens. This is Wesleyan terminology, and like many an other formula saves a lot of explanation. But here a new difficulty arose. The words of the hymn were not the same in all three books. It seems that every compiler of a nymn book must be able to make some change in the best-known hymns, to show that he is fit for his office; just as during the late siege at Khartoum, he was con: sidered to publish fresh information and to have a right to pose as an authority, who could derive a new spelling for the capital of the Soudan. By careful observation of the different readings, according to the scientific comparative method, we soon con- structed a text which conld not be far from the original itself, end thua averted con- fusion. It is true that the minister might have real out two lines or a stanza at a time, asa sort of authoratative version. | But this, it was thought, was an impedi- | ‘nent to the flow of harmony and was | frowned down and out. But is time to take | sa sail, T must pass quickly over to the

quiet hour. It was an effort indeed to} keep in mind the way the second tune was | to start, for which no written music was at

haud. It was somewhat disconcerting to| have to frae the possibility that the first | few notes might need to be whistled asa clue to the memory of the organist, Never- theless, all passed off well. Of the sermon it was remarked, with all degrees of appre- ciation, that it was very nice. The collec- tion also was taken up, and city manners in this particular were faithfully followed-— for some of the audience quite forgot about it and left the room. Yet it turned ous, after all, that every one present handed in his mite, and the proceeds wore entrusted to the minister to purchase a parlor Bible for such services in the future.

The Hon. J. B. Finch.

SECOND LECTURE OF HIS COURSE. Hon. J. B. Fisch delivered the second lecture of his course last evening in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. It would have been a most successful attack upon the liquor traflic of Charlottetown, had the traflicers been there to hear him. The arguments used by Mr. Finch in favor of the prohibition of the liquor trafiic . were § irresistible. The liquor traflic is undoubtedly a public evil, due to the fact that there have been and are | liquor shops; it is the duty of the Govern- ment to abate public evils; therefore the Government should abolish the liquor shops. This argument was enforced by apt references to well known facts and by bril- liant illustrations. Mr. Finch will lecture againin the same hall on Thursday evening.

The Halifax Double Tragedy.

Ha.irax, July 15.

The double tragedy enacted here yester- day, has created the greatest sensation for years, and sent a thrill of horror through | the community.

The evidence taken at the inquest sho: that Withers has been a raving maniac at at large for weeks. Some months ago he determined to kill his whole family, and since then his house has been a heil upon earth.

After breakfast yeeterday morning, he calmly said to his family: ‘‘l want you all to remain in the kitchen. Thisis the day of judgment, and it will bea terrible day for everybody. This is the last day any of us will see. We are all going todie. Get 01 your knees and pray. You believe in religion, I don’t. Halifax will be burnt up and all the people in it. It will be the most dreadful day for Halifax ever known,” No one answered nor dare speak to him, and within a few minutes the beautiful young daughter was shot dead, and the father and murderer was a suicide. Withers was to have been put in an asylum, but red tapeism caused the delay.
