SUFFERING FROM THE LITTLE ONES.
(to the editor waibarapa daily,) Sib,—Children are useful institutions in their way, but they are sometimes a nuisance when in the way of old bachelors, old maids, and folks with shattered nerves. I am induced to make this remark because I, in common with others suffering from nervous debility, having undergone a. course of treatment at the Wesleyan Churclr for soporifio purposes, have been rudely shaken by the gentle voice of a-female child at the said Church, which—the voice, not the Church- boing remark-
ably powerful and several octaves beyoridthe capacity of the choir, congregation, and harmonium combined, is calculated tqlfdistract the attention; of listeners. As the possessor of the voice displays it to the, utmost, apparently for the express of annoyance to nervous folks aforesaid, and lovers of harmony, perhaps this slight hint may bo sufficient to cause the voice to be left at home or brought within the bounds of decency in future. Yours, &c, Nerves.
