by Aunt xancy.
They've got a bran new organ. Sue,
For all their fuss and earch:
They've done just what they said the j '4 do,
And letchetf it Intochirch,
They're bound the critter shall be run
Aud on the preacher s right
They've hoisted up their new machine
In everybody's isiht,
They've got a chorister and choir,
Asf'n my voice and vote:
j For it was never in y desire
lo prairie the Lord by note !
1 v swwr gowi ana true
l-or he and thirty vear,
I've done what seemed my part to do,
An' prayed my duty clear;
Ive sung the hymns both slow and quick,
Ju.t w the preacher read
1 1
! An' twice when deacon Tubus was sick,
j I tooJT the folks un' Jed :
J And now iheir bold neu-fangled ways,
j In eomin' all about,
i And I right in my hitter days,
Am fairlv crowded out I
To-day the "preacher, good old dear,
With tears all in his eves.
,tJ fJ v)y V"1 clear
j Jo mansion. in the. skies,
j j ar;ly8 Hked that blessed hymn,
1 1 s'pose I always wilL
It somehow gratified my whim,
! In good old OrtjnnMe;
' But when that choir got up to sing,
I couldn't catch a word;
1 They sung the mot dog-goudest thing
! A IkiiIt ffV lwrird '
1
j
i Some worldlv chaps was staudin' near,
An' kI,u I see them grin,
I bid farewell to every fear,
And boldly waded in,
1 1 flight chae their tune along,
11rl r.i'ir'! wirh nil inv mi-rhf

and strong,
1 I couldn ttir it right;
When tJiey was high then I was slow
Ai' also contraiwise;
Aii I too fast or they slow
'To "uiaitsiona iu the skies."
l .

I I didn't understand; an' so
i started in too soon.
I pitched it pretty middlin high,
1 fetched a. lnstv ttn?
But. Oh, alas ! I found that I
Was singm' there alone !
They laughed a lit lo I am told,
But I nad done tny b.'.t.
"And not a wave of trouble rolled
Across my peaceful breast.''
And iter Brown I could but look,
Sire its right front of me.
She never was no singin' book
An' never weit to be; .
But thtu al'ays tried to do f
The best shfvcould she aid,
Slie u'.iderstuod the tune right through
An' kept it. with her head,
But when she tried this mornin', Oh,
I had to laugh or cough !
It kep' her head a bobbin eo.
It even most came oft" !
An'. deacon Tul)bs he all brokedown,
A one might well suppose
He took one look at sister Brown,
And meekly scratched his nose;
He looked bis hymn book through and
through
Ami laid it on his seat,
And then a pensive sigh he drew
And looked completely beat,
And when they took another bout,
He didn't even rise,
Hut drawed his red bandanna out
An wiped his woepin' eves.
I've been a sister good and trae
For five and thirty rear;
I've done what secme I my part to do
An' prsyed my duty clear;
But deaUi will stop ray voice I know ;
For he is on ray track.
And some day I to church will go.
And never more come back ;
! And when the folks gets up to sing
Whene'er that time shall be
I don't want no patent thing
; A squealin over me!
