THE NEGRO BOY PIANIST.—BIind Tom, the Intl:
si
cal prodigy, who has created so great a sensation throuri,
out the United States, has arrived in England, and Wir
we understand, shortly make his appearance in P111)/,'°.
His execution of the most difficult music is a perfect era"-
:
vel : blind and untaught he plays the most brilliant
and the extraordinary retention of his memory of any CO:'-c1
position he may have heard, and which he repeats wit
faultless precision, has earned for him the title of a "elf;
sical monstrosity." We hope soon to have the opportuil"'
of hearing him.
THE ESSENTIALS OF HUMAN HAPPINESS are
said to be something to do, something to love, and scar:ta;
thing to hope for. There is no class in the eomnilla'vat
who so fully combine those several essentials la
human happiness as the so-called working classes. a
earning our daily bread, enjoying the sJciety of ° r
families, and resting one day in seven from all °till
toil and labour, our lives are moulded in the
cible of work and worship. Some ono has a'/-4t
laborare eat orare, that is, to work is to worship. if
be so, then we worship six days' and culminate all `Ol
prayers and hopes of the six days' worship on the 00011,0
There is no greatermistake, therefore, than to assume t'w
a life of toil and labour is one of unmitigated hardall"a
Hard it may be ; so are the rocks and mountains hard, 11
in proportion to their hardness, so are they, excel'
some great commotion or convulsion of nature, ia3133°,2f
able ! But not hard in the sense of being unproducibleiv
much good R 3 well as evil. The life of the artisan is a `lOl
of earnest labour, love, and prayer; full it may be of
tie
the stern realities of life, yet it looks forward to ti
future, and fastens on eternity. The earnest life a ttli,
operative, therefore, is pregnant with all that is Igfso
working for, worth loving, and worth hoping; and jet
comprises all the essentials of human happiness. ifo
our friends and fellow co-labourer in the vineyard °'4.l of
take courage ; sorrow endures only for the momea"
time called night, but joy comes with the morning
