Hare Enjoyed the Singing.
The late Rev. It. of
England, once told story of
five choristers who. Sunday eve-
were walking along the banks
Of the Mersey in Cheshire. After a
time they sat down on the grass
began to sing an anthem. A hare pass-
with great swiftness tho
place where they were stopped
at about distance from them.
She appeared to bu highly delighted
with music, and as soon as the
singing ceased returned slowly to the
wood. When she had nearly reached
the end of the field the choristers be-
to sing again. The hare stopped,
turned round and came swiftly to tho
same place, and remained listening In
seeming rapture and until the
singing ceased, when she returned to
the wood.
