(Whistling hymns was introduced in the South Congregational Sunday- School, of Campello, Mass.—News item.) How my heart goes back to childhood, in the good old Sunday class, Where we whistled out the anthems, ‘way back in Campello, Mass. You may tal® about the orchard and the merry swimming-pool, But just give to me the time we whistled in our Sunday-School. Whistling so loud, fine! ‘Throw Out the Life Line,” Tooting out, “Bring Them In." ‘With fancy quiver, trill “At the River,” Shrill ‘From the Fields of Sin." Memory lingers—we used our fingers, Juat to increase the nofse: Fifing so pretty that tender ditty, “Where Are Our Wand'ring Boys?” How the tear-inducing songster of the age will make a missile Of @ lachrymose concoction call "The Hymms We Used to Whistle.” Though YOU weren't allowed to whistle on a Sunday, let it pass, For you never whistled anthems in the good old Sunday class.

The anthems that you whistled just to drive the scare away Are good enough for Sunday-School as any other day, Wiutstling #0 madly, loudly and gladly, Quavers at each dark tres; Feet moving quickly, breath jumping thickly, “What Will the Harvest Be?” Why all this night work, this oaused-by-fright work, doubtedly dead.

The shock of the collision threw the passengers from thelr seats, Those who were standing were jarred from their feet.
