-LIFE- A NOVEMBER IDEAL, Something in the crisp, fresh, bracing air of November suggests the glow of a grate fire, “ four feet on the fender,” the soft light of a rilken-cnrtained lamp, tbat old friend of solitude, a briar pipe, a box of tobacco, a match,—suppoee you strike it and step into the picture, and could king ask for comforts more? Yes, indeed, one comfort more, and that the beat of all—a glass of good old ale, clear as winter moonlight, flecked with enow-white cream, delicious to the taste, soothing to the mind, helpful to the heart. All that you will find in @ bottle of ale, providing, of course, it is Evans’ Ale; for you may search the land over, you may sail on the fea, bot an ale that 's more perfect there never can be. Evans’ Ale has been for over one hundred years the etandard for all that's snperiative in the science of brewing ale, and it is to-day at the zenith of its fame, Or all the brilliant preachers of modern times no one ebone more resplendently in conversation than the eloquent ist minister, Robert Hall, It is remarkable that,while in his writings hardly a gleam of wit or humor is to be found, yet in the tocial circle he was distinguished by his terse and pungent eayings, All his life he wae martyr to an excru- clating disease, and his wittiest aayingn were Attered when be was writhing with sharp pain, A lady at a friend's house found him so lost in thought that she vainly essayed to engage him in conversation, At length, impatient of his reverses, she said flippantly, in allusion to a Mise Steel to whom be was engaged to be married : “Ab, sir, if we had but polished sted here, we might secure some of your attention ; bat —" adam,” interrupted the new roused preacher, “make yourself quite easy; if you are not polished steed, you are at least polished brass /" Hall had an intense abhorrence of religious cant, to which he gave expression sometimes in the most scorching terms. A young minister, who was visiting him, spent a day in sighing, ever and anon begging pardon for his pirations, and aaying that they were caused by grief that be had eo hard a heart, When the lamentations, which Ha had borne patiently the first day, were resamed at breakfast on the second, he said : “Why, sir, don’t be #0 cast down ; remember the con) pensating principle, and be thankful and still." ** Compensating principle!" exclaimed the young man; ‘+ what can compensate for a hard heart?" “Why, @ soft head, to be sare," replied Hall, who, if rude, had certainly great provocation. — Saturday Evening Post.

One pleasure comes from the beauty, grace or charm of the music itself, The other springs from the charming way in which it is performed.
