Music. The period when and where

breast y is Of little Importance for our pur-
poses in the shhjoined remarks-the truth

every one, subject 10 its soul bewitchns
Influence.
From the apparent apathy existing for
he cultivation of music of sacred eharac-
ter, it might DE inferred as a general thing.
thai in all its folms and varieties, the science
OF music is estimated with feelings of total
indifference in our little community. Such
cannot, we think, be the case Judging BY
the notes of the cheerful horn, the tron,-
bone, the thrilling fife aud peaing drum
which is nightly heard echoing in the
breeze "long and loud" ard captivating
The senses with concert of sweet sounds
beautifully harmonious.
In this connection we do mt intend,
however, commenting upon the want of
correct taste, or rather individual taste in
this matter.-we have only few words to
say upon the seeming neglect entertained
generally for that Of a sacred character
especially in cur churches. The fact must
be admitted on all sides we think, tha.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Books. AT the head of all the pleas
ures which offer themselves to the man oi
liberal education, may confidently be
placed that Of books. In variety, durnhiI-
ity, and facility of attainment, no other
can stand in competition With ii; and even
in intensity it is inferior to few. Imagine
that we had in our power to call up the
shades of the greatest and wlsesi men tha'
ever existed, and oblige them TO converse
with US pn the most interesting topics
what an inestimable privilege should we
think it! how superior to all common enjoy
ments! But in well finished library we
in fact, possess this power. We can
question Xenophon and Cesar on their
campaigns, make Demos,henes and Cicero
plead before us join in the audience OF
Socrates and Plato, and receive demon
stratons from Euclid ard Newton In
books we have the choicest thoughts OF
the ablest men in their best dress. We
can at pleasure exclude dulluess and i'm
per,nance, and open our doors to wit and
good sense alone. No apparatus, no ap-
pointment of time and place, is necessary
10 the enjoyment Of reading. From the
midst Of hustle and business you may, In
an instant, by the magic of a book, plunge
into scenes Of remote ages and countries
and disengage yourself from present care
and faigue.-Sweet pliabiity of man :
