He was. however. becoming less guarded Of

proofs Of his being engaged in some most lucra-

The fCHOIR," contains $50 pages, consist
ing of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, in all The varie-
ty of metre found in the Hymn Books of the
different denominations, short Anthems, Sen
fences. &c, appropriate to various occasions
Of Public Worship, Singing Schools, Singing
Societies, &c.
Most of the Music is entirely neao, embrac-
ing much greater variety OF style, it is be.
lieved, than has heretofore appeared in the de-
parlment of Metrical Psalmody Much of it
has been drawn from the highest sources of
musical taste and science in Europe, especially
in Germany Many beautiful themes have
been selected and metrically arranged, express
ly for this work, from The vocal works Of Hay dn,
Mozart, Beethoven. Winter. Cherubini, Mehul,
Himmel Weber, Rihini, Rossini, and other
distinguished composers
Tasteful melodies, simple, natural, and easy
harmony, with flowing or melodious Tenors,
and Bases, is peculiar feature of the work.
The whole has been carefully arranged with
reference to roCai Effect the harmony, howcv-
or, is equally adapted to the organ, although it
may frequently require style of execution
more brilliant, bold, erergetc, and forcible, than
much of the music now in common use.
Though the" Choir" is an independent work,
supplied with Rules complete in ITSELF it may
be advantageously used as a supplement to the
Handel and Haydn Society, or other collcc
lions; and it is confidently believed, that i:
cannot fail 30 prove highly seTviceable and IN
terestng to the lovers of pure Church Music.

PERSEVERANCE. 81 recollect," says Sir 10.
nah Darlington, in Queens county, to have
seen Mr. Clerk, who had been working car.
penter. and when making bench for the ses.
sion OF Justices at the court house, was laughed
at for taking peculiar pains in planning and
smoothing the seat oft. He smilingly observ-
ed that he did so to make ii easy for himself, as
he was resolved he would never die till he had
a right to sit thereupon and he kept his word
he was an industrious man-honest, respecta.
BILE and kind hearted. He succeeded in all his
efforts to accumulate an independence he did
accumulate it, and uprightly. His character
kept pace with the increase Of his property. and
he lived 10 sit as magistrate on that very
bench that he sawed and planed."
