Dr. Ward, of New York. savs on this I subject, of the many agents which hava more of less influence on the voioe, ths four principal are climate, dress, diet, and exercise. Change of climate may cause some slight deleterious effect on the larynx, but this iufluenle is greatly overestimated. The present fashionable stylo of dress is decidedly unnealthyV The chest and abdomen are unnaturally confined, the lungs and other organs act, ing abnormally. All clothing should be loosely attached to the body, and the dress worn high. Avoid as much as pos sible appearing in full dress. The throat should not be wrapped in comforters, boas, etc. Chest protectors should not be worn, and the feet should be guarded against wet. The diet of the singer shoiddl - be blapd as- well as nutritious. Of the different kinds of meat. Venison. poultry, roast beef, and lamb are the easiest to digest, and due'proportion of fat shonld be taken as a heat-supplying .principle to the body. Cooked vege tables, unless too highly seasoned, are cucumbers, tc.,r -alio. X be avoided. Pastry should be invariably discarded. Dinner at noon, followed by a light tea at nightfall, is a rule wliich, if rigidly ad hered to, will be a safeguard against all ordinary attacks of indigestion. In order that the net of singing be properly per forrmiefj Ifris absolutely -necessary that the stomach be nearly empty. Alcoholic beverages should not, on any considera tion, Vie indulged in by vocal artists. For the full development and preser vation of the vocal cords several rulei must be observed. Tho exercises must bo regularly and systematically practiced; they must always bo within the register; they should never be pushed to the point of fatigue; tlipy should never be made use of when the vocal organs are at tacked with cold, no matter how slight. Always practice standing upright, so as to allow of full play of the lungs and ac cessory vocal organs. Bodily exercise is especially bem -liend to the singer. In short, learning to swg is learning to b healthy. The Mouildjj Muuazinc.

When T first knew her she was fifteen years oWt I vfu. iwociv-iaait &Ue wa a schoolmaster's daugaScjla school master's sou. We first met one September evening.

Ib'r name was Emily; to her friends rt'h.e. was always Km. ' Sl'.c and I struck up a friend-drill. She ilwavs did make.' friends wiili all male reatures, wLethir five years old or titty, was a scribbler, even then: and I fancy the pride of authorship even in so small lepree, had a certain charm for her, which set me up in her eves. he wrote her name m my birtkdny k, ill id lifciieaih it I wrote, "My l.iitle cthcart." It lies before me-at the present moment. It was the hardest thing in the world for her father and mother to make both ends meet. Very little money was ever Tiers. Jler wardrobe was ot the scantiest. She knew nothing of ph-asure as some people understand it; she Lad never 'been ten miles out of tho town where she was born. Yet there must have been some fairy present at her birth, for she was like a summer's day, always bright. Time sped I had been her fathers partner, and had now known her more than two years. I was going for a ram bling expedition to foreign parts; and though 1 knew I was a f-d for my pains, to me it was a bitter parting. And so for a time, I think, it was to her; tor m sonic way lim.s hail necii joined between us without our ever know ing they wcro being forced. Well," said I to her, the day b ifore I went, we being alono togetuer, "lilue. yes, h.,w long snail I lie niisseu? The oriv answer was to throw herself upon the hearth rug, place her hand up on my knee, and turn Uor eyes up t' ward mv tace. Ah, Blue Fyes, said I, trilling w ith her sunny htur, 1 'you 11 havo auotm.r sweetheart in a week."

I knew that this is lust what k!h dresses used to do. Even from where I j was I could see her blue eyes flashing, and that wonderful smile upon her face. She was certainly prettier than of old, and she still looked like a maiden step ped down from fairvdoiii. Wondering vhat the answer might he, softly, hardly above a whisper,' I gently calh d "Em !" But she, engaged with the daisy-chain and her little ones, did not hear, and paid no heed. So, smilii'g, I called a litllo louder "Em !' But still she did not hear. The daisy chain and little ones seemed to emrross 1.11 her thoughts, and my voice blew past her with the wind. How would it do, I thought, since she was so oluitiuately deaf, to rouse her by confronting her ? If she Would col hoar she fehould see, and her eyes, if not her curs, be opened. With s ime such fancy, I was just about to rise and intrude myself upon her presence, wlin I noticed the figure of a man coming down the path. I had no objection to children witness ing our meeting, though I couUl have spared even th- m; but a third party, nnrt lie a f.tvang T, I did not want. So I waited until lie should be gone. .
