I have always fancied that some mystic trine was chorded by three beings who, with all their separate gifts, possessed an equal power and sweetness, Raphael, Shelley, and Mendelssohn. And perhaps the same occurred more emphatically to Miss Sheppard, for after Seraphael she drew Bernard, Bernard, who is exceeded by none in the whole range of romance.

If the Lord is right in our midst as the Bible says, He can't think much of our singers this summer!" "They're improvin', now that Pliny Waterhouse plays his fiddle," Mrs. Day remarked pacifically. "There was times in the anthem when they kept together consid'able well last Sunday. They didn't always chord, but there, they chorded some! we're most there now, Abby, don't fret!
