Hints TO Young Rarri.,er..

The grand turning point in barrister's
professional career, the real change which
occurs in his condition, is that which takes
place when from being employed because
his client would be useful to him he is now
employed because he is thought useful to
his client. From dependant on others he
at length rises, not only into an independ-
ent man, but henceforward he sees others
dependant upon him. To the attainment,
oil this all must look forward who desire
success in their career. Until this grand
point Is gained, no certainty can exist of
ultimate triumph, or even Of further adj
vancement. Not only did Yorke take due
care to qualify himself by hard reading and
extensive research, before his call to the
bar, Tor the successful pursuit Of his pro.

Martin lmtl.er.

Martin Luther, it is well known, was a
compound Of strange and heterogeneous
materials. One striking peculiarly of his
character was his singular and enthusiastic
love Of music. Not that there is abstract
eddy anything remarkable in such passion;
but in him it had a singular effect--con-
trasting strikingly with the bold and indoIn-
table qualities Of his nature. He had an
admirable ear for harmony, and was no
mean proficient on several instruments. lie
had also a beautiful voice, which he con-
stantly kept in order by the chanting OF
hymns and sacred songs. The principles
Of church music he studied profoundly
and he composed several pieces Of great
merit. But the most striking thing about
his musical character was the power which
melody had over himself. lie seemed melt
ed and subdued into a state Of almost help
lessness by its tones. Amid their influence,
all other faculties of body and mind ap.
peared suspended:-he was in a state Of
ecstatic rapture. In letters which he wrote
to Linccius, frankfort edition, I649,) we
find him testing about his extreme sus-
ceptibility-which he considers as weak.
ness in his character. He tells Linccius
seriously that it was his custom to sing a
hymn every night before he retired to bed;
and, such was the soothing power of the
melody over him, that however much he
might have been excited or troubled
throughout the day, from the moment when
the key note fell upon his ear, he forgot all
earthly matters and vexations.-

Music.

Every woman who has an aptitude for
music or for singing, should bless God fol
the gift, and cultivate it with diligence: moi
that she may dazzle strangers, or win ap.
plause from a crowd, but that she NAV
bring gladness to her own fre-side. The
influence Of music in Strengthening the al.
fections is far fran being perceived by many
OF It's admirers a sweet melody binds all
hearts together, as il were with golden
cord; It makes the pulses beat in unison,
and the heart thrill with sympathy. But
the music of the Preside must be simple
and anpretending it does not require bril-.
liancy Of execution, but tenderness OF feel.
lng-a merry tune for the young, more
subdued strain for the aged, but none Of the
noisy clap-traP which is so popular in pub
lie. 1t is a mistake to suppose that to en-
Joy music requires great cultivation; the de.
gree of enjoyment will of course, vary with
our power Of appreciation, but like all 9TH
er great influences, it is able to attract even
the ignorant; and this is what the poets
taught when they made Orpheus and his
brethren the civilisers of the earth. In ca
ses where musical instruments are not with.
in reach, we may modulate our own voices.
and make them give forth sweet sounds; we
may sing those simple strains which require
neither teaching nor skill, but which, if they
come from one heart, are sure of finding
their way to another.

The Advantage. Of Adver.isy.

There could be no such thing as patience

were no wants to be felt; no such thing as

no such thing as humility, if sensible mfr
mites and crosses did not prompt us to So

There would be no true wisdom, no clear
knowledge Of ourselves, or-right judgment
of things, without experiencing the worst
half of things. We should never learn TO
master our passions, or temper our aPpe-
tites, or wrest our inclnations to compli-
ance with reason, if that discipline were
away, which the holy Psalmist intimateth,
saying, Ii is good for me that hare been

Acoustic Telegraph i'm Africa.

in the recently published account by
Capt. Allen, OF the voyage Of the British
ship WIlberlorce up the Niger, we find the
following notice of a musical telegraph
used by tie natives. 1t is well known that
musical sounds may be heard at greater dis
tanccs than those which are only loud
"As We had often heard that the natives
could hold musical dialogues even at great
distances. by means of little gourd flutes,
we prevailed on them to separate, while by
an interpreter one Of them was desired TO
convey certain sentences TO those at a dis

examination, that everything had been per

communicate with one another, even al the
distance Of some miles, where the locality
was favorable TO the resonance Of the
sounds. This facility Of musical cores
