MUSIC.

In any place, and under any circum-
stances, it must ever be treat to hear
Ole Bull. 1t is one which can be but
seldom enjoyed, and which is well worth
an effort to obtain. He had not so large
an audience on Friday evening, as at his
first concert, though the applause was
hearty and more judicious than before
He played with his usual care. Indeed,
we imagine that whether before an au-
dlence or alone, he always does his best,
and would be as unlikely as all earnest
poet to trife with his conceptions. The
depth of his tones cannot be measured
since they interpret those feelings which
are too subtle for utterance in words;
but they enchain the soul, and hold it
wrapt in pleasure, as they throb full and
round into the air, and too quickly pass
into cold impassive memory. Oh could
we carry them away to fill the dreary
blank of life! but, no-we must seize the
opportunity, and enjoy them then and
there, and feel as much in the vein as may
be. And so he commenced his Andanfe
e Roado, and loaded the air with melody
as plaintive as the sighings of Bellini's s
lovers, and the very atmosphere became
minor and misty, and the spheres seemed
at hand, when he glided into some choral

strains which brought us back to the ac-
tual present.
Paganini's Introdu.ione, &C., OF an air
from Paesiello, is certainly feat in COM
position, and was performed with re-
markable skill the choral passage being
particularly impressive. Although play
ed without accompaniment, it was inn
possible to detect the slightest harshness,
each note being smooth and without flaw.
La petite Patti has much voice for a
child, and so correct an car that her in
tonation is faultless. She gave great
pleasure in the Byadere and Echo songs.
Her innocence is charming, and she evil
IDENTIFY enjoys her share in the perform
ancc as much as her audience.
Mr.. Strakosch accompanies carefully
and with untiring good nature, and his
own Caprice Russo was very graceful and
pretty.
We hope Ole Bull will let us hear him
again OIL his return from the Eastward,
and think by that time he will be likely
to have larger audience. Boston Adj

THE GERMANS ON AMERICA.

a resident of the District of Columbia,
now abroad, sojourning for time at the
Wielbach baths, in Germany, for his
health, writes under date of September
18th, ultimo, saying:
There are numerous vii
lagos within few miles and when
visit them, which | often do during my
walks, am quite lion. In all of them,
[ am known and pointed out as an Amer
,cdraer, and the way the men, women and
children stare at me, would shock my
modesty, if had any; but believe that
it was long since voted that | was en-
tirely destitute of that article; so bear
their piercing glances very well, and have
not met one yet who could outstare me.
They all try to have a word with me
about America, being very much inter-
ested in our land. Some have sons,
daughters, lovers, and other relations
there and most all of the young ones ex-
press their determination to knock Amer
ica, as soon as they raise the funds
There is so many going to mach our land,
that am almost afraid they will knock
it all to pieces. Sometimes a party of
them surrounds me, and | have hard
time to get away from them. Once got
caught by half drunken party in Cast
haus, and to show their love of America.
they huggcd me and kissed me as Amer
ica's representative. This sort of sport
| always disliked, but when it came to
the bear like hugs and the slobbering
kisses of half drunken, unshaven men, it
was little more than could bear pa
tiently, and put stop to it as soon as
could. Rather than undergo such an
operation again, | would prefer to wear
muzzle like dog. l am pleased that
the people are so fond ofmy native land,
but | must object to the manner in which
they sometimes show their attachment. :"

THE DAY OF REST

This mornings sun rose over hushed
and quiet world. Passions impulses are
calmed, thoughts and longings of busi-
ncss-racked minds have relaxed their
intensity, and the hand of industry
has ceased to WELD the implement of
labor. 'Tis the day of rest, the day for
reflection and reform. The wayward
child Of fashion awakes to thought and
recollection, while from the retrospect
comes the memory of early lessons, gen.
tie teachings, and holy counsels, which
were given by loved lips, perhaps long
since closed in eternal silence, to be faith
full guides in future years, but which were
forgotten and deserted in the pursuit OF
seeming pleasure, which now with its
exposed skeleton hands sketches upon
the satiatcd mind phantoms that glare
hours of agony i'll moments, and will not
vanish. The peaceful home, the simple
song, the smiling children, the guileless
sport, joys which once formed Paradise:
that Paradise like the first deserted swell
out before them as q mockery of their
present woe and discomfort, while tears
and tremblings follow the threatnlngs of
that mental monitor which probes the
memory with ruthless hand.
The votarieS of ambition, who have
been hurried on by thousand mundane
novelties, occupied in chasing shadows
which elude constantly their eager grasp,
dazzled by the prospect of ever retreating
amid happiness and success, unmindful
Of that quiet beauty and pure wisdom
which shine in ndying bri ghtncss over
a mind contented with and thankful for
that which Divine Dispenser has allotted
them, find in reflection no soothing to
the heart, no balm to the troubled con-
science. Thoughts are to them now the
threatening thunder-cloud, pregnant with
destruction and growing wrath, the heavy
tempest which envelopes them in gloom,
and dashes from their vision that pure
sky, the sky of Faith, which we must
must behold or forever despond.
But there are others to whom memory
is a beautiful calm armament of stars,
twinkling hope, and thought, like the
glorious rays of moonlight dancing over
the expanse of waters on which their
barks of life gently ride. To them the
day of rest and thought comes as a glad
messenger, WITH sweet seraphic inspra-
ton rife" )" for it approaches like uni
versal deliverer in the land of bondage,
striking of the chains in which the spirit
is bound, and finds them stronger, nobler,
purer, and more advanced in the path
that leans to eternal peace. With them
the images which thought stretches upon
the canvass Of memory are bright prom
ises which causes the heart to glow with
happiness. To them the deeds of well
spent life comeback, giving the hues of
hope to the future, and forming the out
lines of holy promises, which are given
to those who obey the Word. Their S
is the pure life of contentment and hope,
secure and safe amid worldly temptations,
for the anchor of Faith holds them safe in
the haven of Purity.-Nashrille Gazette.

TEMPERANCE IN WASHINGTON

We believe the lntemperance support
ers of the good cause of Temperance have
'' smellcd rat" They find that public
opinion, does not 60 with them the extrav-
agant lengths they desire. The vote for
NO License" last June showed plain ly
enough what popular feeling is disposed
to do in furtherance of good cause, but
it hesitates to endorse by its approval the
abuse and vituperation, and calumny, and
scurility, which some men mounted on a
barrel or doorstep, professedly preaching
temperance, rejoice most to indulge in.
If asked to vote against permission of
that, the people of Washington would
vote No License" by united acclama-
ton, as they ought.
1t is astonishing that temperance men
do not see the vast momentum they
would lend their cause by milder and
more apostolic method of presenting its
claims. Do they not remember that the
greatest gifts, faculties, and success, are
nothing without charity. only as {. sound
ing brass and tinkling cymbal 2" are
they true friends of temperance! Would
not true friend strive to dismiss his
own failings, and remove his bad passions
from meddling with pure advocacy of
the cause! So it seems to us, and it is
really suggested by the conduct of some
temperance preachers, whether the oppor-
tunity of venting denunciation and bitter
ness, is not more than anything else their
motive for pursuing the VOCATION

DEATH OF AN INSANE CoNvIT.-Ra-
bello died in the State prison at Wethcrs-
field, OH Sunday morning last, where he
has been confined for the last fifteen or
twenty years, raving maniac. He was
originally sentenced to be hung, for kill
ing lad in Litchfielo county, but insani-
ty was so apparent that the sentence was
never executed. He is said to have been
a Spaniard by birth, but we are not
aware that his previous history was known
to any one in this country. He was
chopping wood for the family who had
kindly taken him in, wanderer, when
their little son, playing near him, was as
sailed and brutally killed, without, so far
as it is known, any provocation. From
that time until his death his paroxysms
OF insanity have been 20 frequent and
violent as to require him to be kept confined
from the other prisoners. rs.-Ner Hauen

CURIOUS INvENTIoN.-Mr. Robert NJ.
kerrison Of Philadelphia, has taken meas
ures to secure patent for an invention
which promises to be as useful as it is
curious it consists of an ingenious
mechanical contrivance by which per-
fectly regular and constant motion is OBJ
tanned, and is designed by the inventor
as well for scientific as for ordinary time
keeping purposes. 1t is to be used in
Transit Registers, Equatorial Telescopes,
and in all machines in which constant
and equal motion is required, and in time
pieces will possess the advantage of per-
feet silence and be without the alteration
of rest and motion incident to clocks as
they are now made.
Such machine has long been desid-
eratum among the scientific, and Mr..
kerrison deserves much commentator for
discovery which has puzzled the wise
heads for more than a century.

TIME.-It awaits for no man-it trav-
els onward with an even, uninterrupted,
inexorable step, without accommodating
itself to the delay of mortals. The rest
less hours pursue their course: moments
press after moment, day treads upon
day, year rolls after year. Does man
loiter! procrastinate Is he listlesS or
indolent :, Behold the days, and months,
and years, unmindful of his delay, are
never sluggish, but march forward in
silent and solemn procession. Our la
bors and tolls, our ideas and feelings,
may be suspended by sleep; darkness
and silence and death may reign around
US; but Time rests not, slumbers never,
but presses along and knows no stop
page. We may dam up mighty rivers;
stop them in journeying to the ocean;
press them back to their source; but the
arrest of Time is beyond the power Of
any being besides Omnipotence. The
clock may cease to strike, the bell to toll;
the sun may cease to shine, the moon
stand still, the stars withdraw their light;
but the busy hours pass on. The months
and years must move on, ever forward.
