REPEATING TUNES.

A correspondent of the Glasrjow Herald mentioned that in a certain church the oth-*r Sunday, the singers might have been heard prophiiming a cuiious and exciting, but not very agreeable, entomological pursuit in the following lines in a hj'mn : — And we'll catch the flee — And we'll catch the f I • -o — And we'll catch the fleeting hour. The above is very similar, says Bell's Life ■in Sythi"i/, to other hymnical versions to be sometimes heard in Hyde Park, Sydney, as follows: — Oh, sand clown sal — On, seurl down sal — Olj, send down salvation. Oh. for a man — Oil, for a man — Ob, for a mansion in the sky. I like pi— I like pi — I like pi-etous men. Oh, my poor poll — Oil, my pour poll — 01', niv poor poll utcd soul. Ami s'ii 1 (he stu — Ami stir the stu — a Ami stir the stu-pid heart to pray. Tench us (o kiss — • Teucii us to kiss — Teach us to kiss the rod.
