"Why do the heathen." A Canon. By J. M'MURDIE.

This Canon was written for the Concentores Society : it will act dishonour the valuable collection which the library of that Society con. tains, and which its members are required periodically to increase. It is not one of the most intricate species of canon, being four in two; but the freedom with which Mr. AI' Mutilate writes even under these fetters, proves him to be no mean proficient in the study of harmony.
