purb organ for HE choir. The ladies
| bf The congregation deserve credit for
this. They commenced with their en-
tertaiDments and fairs, shortly after
the New Church was covered in, and
have now presented -aa the result OF
their industry aud enterprise ms fine
an instrument as there is in the State
the organ at St. Patrick Church in
New Orleans, only excepted. We
regard this, as valuable acquisition,
to our little city, and the thanks Of the
entire community are die The ladies
Music, like all the other requests Of
the Immortal Nine, cannot be crib
bed up and confined I; the king in his
palace cannot say that his nerves are
more nicely strung than the PEASANTS.
The High Church Episcopalians can
not cut off the low Church, from the
enjoyment, Of their heavenly melodies.
The fact is /; tame indeed are the most
eloquent words Of man, when applied
to the Great Creator it is to song,
and silent prayer that the mind res
orts, to satisfy itself in the eontempa-
ton of the Infinite What would the
Catholic service be, without the inspir-
alton of its music? Let others answer
the question to their owniking. Go on
ladies'. We are right glad to hear,
that another fair is thought of, shortly
to complete vo,r church internally.
and carry up its steeple externally
into the heavens. The Church is
yours, upon all principles Of equity !;
see that it is managed properly
Pay those who pray for you, because
the good book says "The laborer is
worthy of his hire" If you have
surplus revenue, see that it is not
dragged away, for very doubtful and
questionable works of proprioty.--
Would that there were but one church
in our midst !; teaching the practical
Christianity of the founder Of the sys-
tenn that all our deluded people might
behave towards one other, as becomes
brothers and fellows.
REGULARLY SoLD Our.-During
the month of January, 1850, while
stopping at the Suffer House, in Sac
ramento City, Cal, | aceidently over
heard conversation between two gen
tlemeu, one of whom was from New
York city, and had been in the country
nearly.a year, and the other had just
arrived.
The new conner was lamenting bis
condition and bis folly in leaving an
abundance at home, and especially
two beautiful daughters, who were
just budding into womanhood--when
he asked the New Yorker if he had
family.
=" Yes, sir; have wife and six
children in New Y rk-and [ never
saw one of them
After this reply, the couple sat a
few moments in silence, then the In
terrogator again commenced
Was you ever blind sir %
" No sir"
" Did You marry widow, sir :?
Another lapse of silence
:" Did understand you to say. sir,
that you had a wife and six children lv-
ing in New York, and had never seen
one of them 2"
" Yes, sir--I SO stated it,"
Another and longer pause of silence
Then the interrogation again enquired--
:" How can that be, sir, that you
never saw one of them e.
Why" was the response, " one Of
them was born after left"
"Oh ! ah !" and a general laugh
followed and after that the New Yor-
ker was especially distinguished as
the man who had six children and
q never saw one of them.
