I shall preface my remarks by exclaim ing with the poet, “Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness!” I am sure the said poet lived in a neighborhood biessed(?) with musi cians (?) who played ihe piano "from early morn to dewy eve,” without re gard to their neighbors' comfort. He probably had vocalists in his vicinity who made the early morning hideous, who annihilated the Sunday morning fiay by shouting hymn tunes, and rudely broke tnto the afternoon siesta by performing exercises and out-of date compositions every day alter dinner, to the intense sunering of their hearers who arc driven to sigh for the wilderness sung ny old Omar, but minus tne singing. In time we may get so civilized that these disorders aud also tne ring ing ot church bells (.oosoiete and un necessary custom) may be relegated to the dark past. Lei us hope it is near at hand, in conclusion I will voice the sentiment of old-fashioned, conservative people by saying that it is to be hoped that the latest flower of civilization, shirt-waist dancing, will soon ‘‘also pass aw-ay,” and be relegated to a Uuu forgotten era, FKOTESTING URBAN.
