: The USE OF THE ORGAN IN PRESBYTERIAN
WoRsHIP.-A meeting of the Lancashire Pres
ibytery was held at Manchester on Thursday,
when it was resolved to consider the propriety
Of admitting organs into the places Of worship
connected with the United Presbyterian Church
After long discussion, the following motion
was carried by majority of 10 to s.: "The
Presbytery are of opinion that the use of in
strumental music for the purpose simply Of
Heading the praises Of the sanctuary, is not
contrary to any principle or law, either Of the
supreme or subordinate standards of this
Church, and that such use has already been
practically sanctioned by various Presbyteriea
thereof; and, therefore, while they refrain from
giving any recommendation to the congrega
tons of the bounds to introduce organs, they
would leave the mode of conducting their psal
mody to the Christian wisdom and discretion
Of individual congregations"

THE MARTYRS OF OPINION.
BY MUDIL BRAI9.

"Opinion an omnipotence, whose veil
Nantes the earth with darkness"
Chiids Harold.
/. The martyrs of Opinion,
How silently they die!
No monument upsoars TO heaven,
To tell us where they lie.
They live a life of fearful gloom,
They fall like stricken deer;
Dark Scorn consigns them 10 the tomb,
Their burial-rite, sheer!
The sword devours its millions;
The plague hath swept away
Its hecatombs of human worms,
And mingled them with clay;
But after these there comes a lull,
The hours with JOY are rife;
Opinions edge is never dull,
And never ends her strife.
She scales the lofty rampant,
She treads the busy mart,
Beneath the monarch's robe OF State,
She gnaws his inmost heart;
She hannts the student in his cell,
And blots his labored page,
Ev'n as the tabled fend of bell
Pursued the monkish sage.
Where radient beauty teaches
Her votaries TO bow,
Opinions loathsome vapors dim
The diamonds on her brow;
But mostly through the poor mans shed
The happy loves to roam,
To stain with filth his hard earned bread,
And drive him from his home.
Talk of the rack the dungeon,
The Moloch-tyrant's sway
The art Of torture grows more nice
In this improving day
With stern ordeals fenced around
Sits Custom, like a fate;
Move but an inch beyond her bound,
And Fashion shuts the gate.
They who have fought for freedom,
Or for their faith have bled,
Their deeds are in the mouth oftime,
They are not Of the dead;
Opinions martyrs, all alone,
Sink to their endless rest,
Their virtues dumb their worth Nv xnown.
Their names passing jest. %
Yet have they some remembrance
Within the night OF years;
The angels keep their record well,
And dew their graves with tears;
And He, the lamb on Calvary slain,
Who sits enthroned above,
/. He pays them for their lot Of pain,
From his rich store OF love-
