Our Bell
Me Editor,— So;, we have our bell ait last: I am afraid the climate of I'eiidiiig won't suit it. It eeeuis to have hrjgftdiitU already. One lady •expressed her- detigfet:;on : Thursday ■evening Jby eallißg?-&:a.<^»W-b«!L Another thought:it .wJ9e?.*oi}^nican the -eat was playing witbi-Jiir^w kitchen. It is to be hoped the v{3o#inittee are perfectly satisfied. _, -Of course, it is .young, and plenty of practice may <jlear its tones greatly*-./ J&would. suggest it be. called, the?;^Whisperer." It was very kind of .you to.'jnatifje the intention to ring ha- Json't you think it will be a standing notice? or we shall be in-blissful ignorance of its ringing altogether.! Don't, you think tbere ought to be a telephone from the tower to the house of each member of the Brigade ? It will he useful on funeral days, or to hush cross babies to deep. What a solemn echo to the big drum when our band stand is ■erected. Doa't you think the Committee should bave it tuned? Don't you. think it would make a grand accompaniment in the humming chorus j in the cantata of/Naaman? Don't jou think a sounding boaid would be an improvement? Don't you think it suffersJike other belles from tight lacing ? DdnU you .think it would -do for Old Grumble!a. dinner : . bell? Don't you jthink theriaan- that-cast it should have cast -it? on: to some hard substance, and then cast about him for some more congenial occupation — say deep sea sounding in a divingbell. — I am, &c, Chatterbox.
