The Rev. f n. Sawtell, now in Europe,
says The most sOul-strring music ever
heard in Europe, was in the Surrey Chapel,
in London, where the great Rowland Hill
taught his people to sing as we'll as to pray.
There, they have an organ, simply as an, as
sstant 10 the congregation, and at the very first
peal, the three thousand auditors rise TO their
feet at once, minister and ALL and pour forth
such strains of melody that the organ is scarce
ly heard and they sing, too, with such will
ling minds, such cheerful look and manner,
such open mouths and heads erect, as if their
very souls were so full Of love and praise 10
God, thar they could not help it-they must
sing, organ or no organ, and with the spirit
and understanding too, though the roof Of the
building be lifted from its walls. Now the
soul Of the minister that participated in such
singing as that, must be dead indeed, il it be
not moved and stirred within him: All, but
he is moved-he does feel 4; such singing is
like an electric spark-a live cosl from Gods
altar-it touches the lips and heart Of the
sneaker; and when he rises to address such a
congregation, he knows full we'll, frczs what
his eyes have seen; his ears have heard, and
bis own heart has felt, that he has.to address
living, animate beings, and not collection of
cold, marble statues, which, like the prophets
dumb dogs, 'could neither bark nor sing.'

Living in Washington.

mere are many thousands of the good peos
pie of the United States who are thoroughly
convinced that the per diem of a member Of
Congress is entirely too high that it not only
affords him the means Of living in an extrav-
agant style, but that in spite of that extrava-
gance, he is able to hoard up large sum of
money every session. To know what founda--
tion there is for such a conviction, we have
only TO repeat what was said by member of
Congress 10 The keeper Of one Of our fashiuna--
Bile hotels.
Sir, said the envied eight dollar per day
recipient, Il want board and lodging for my
self, wife, child and servant My pay, yoT
know, is about S24O month. | am perfectly
willing that you should take the whole of ii,
but don't bring me in debt
This may sound like jest, but it is sober
reality-a reality which many member has
an experimental pocket knowledge of The
rent of roomss in desirable situations, in many
instances, are ridculously high; and appear
to be imposed with the view of depriving the
unfortunate occupant of the ability 10 make his
expenses square with his receipts. From SIS
TO S25 per month is the average price asked
for the rent of commodious bedroom. A
handsomely furnished parlor commands S20to
$50 per month. We are well aware that
prices are regulated by the law of demand and
supply, and that it is unreasonable 10 expect
landlord 10 take low price when higher one
can be as readily obtained. But in an eager,
uncalculating desire for large gains, people
are apt TO over-reach themselves and we feel
quite sure that if the charges of our hotel
keepers and the landlords Of furnished rooms
were reduced TO reasonable figure, the num-
Der of visitors TO the federal capital would be
quadrupled every year TO the great pecuniary
benefit Of all classes Of the community y.- Wash.

mel about the farm, and drives the hawk from
its enclosures.
After weighing the services he performs for
man against the mischief he occasions, can
not think he deserves death. 1t is during
seed-time and harvest that his depredations
are chiefly committed and 50 highly are his
services appreciated by those who have writ
ten of birds, that there is hardly an ornitholo-
gist who does not plead in his behalf. Audu-

that were it not for his race, thousands of corn
stalks would every year fall PROSTATE, in con-
sequence of being cut down close to the ground
by the destructive grubs which are called cut
tcorms.' Waterton says: He does but very
little injury to man during nine or ten months
of the year and for my own part, should
lament his final absence from our meadows
and our woods Wilson, and many others,
also plead for him. and would save his species
from determination.
But the crow, independently of the service;
rendered by him as a scavenger and destroyer
of verRn, may be esteemed for certain quail
ties which are agreeably associated with the
charms of nature. 1t is not the singing birds
alone that contribute by their voices TO glad.
den the husbandman, and cheer the solitary
traveller. The Growing of the~cock at break
of day is as joyful sound, though not so mu-
sicsl as the voice of the robin, who, in his
season, chants his lays at the same early hour
The cawing OF the crow is to me one of the
most cheerful of sounds, and is heard long be-
fore the majority of birds have left their perch
If not one of the melodies of morn, it is one o.
the most notable sounds that herald its ap
prOach. And how intimately is the voice o
this bird associated with the sunshine of pleas
ant winter days with our woodland excur
sons during this inclement season; with the
stroke of the woodman' S axe; with open door.

The Anxieties and joys Of an Editor.

The life Of an editor, al best, is hard one.
His mind is constantly filled with anxiety, and
is ever kept TO The utmost tension ofexpaE-
sion. He is anxious TO make his paper accep-
table 10 his readers, and in carrying out that
end, has TO keep constant watch upon what
is going on around him, both al hume and
abroad, that nothing impodani may escape him.
When he sees anything interesting, he is anx-
ious to be among the first in giving it publici-
ty, that il NAV also be Of interest to his read
ers. He is always anxious, too, 10 give the
hest account of any transaction, in order Ia
build and keep mp his paper He is anxious,
also, lest in giving room TO what is Interesting,
he may crowd out something Of more impor-
lance 10 his particular class of readers, and is
therefore always anxious 10 put as much as
possible in very small space He is always
anxious 10 make paper that will please the
largest possible number, knowing full well
that he cannot please Everybody. He is anx-
ious tn make his ideas as popular as possible,
and stamp them indelibly upon the public
mind, and is therefore anxious as 10 the best
manner Of doing 50. He Is anxious lest in
pleasing one, he gives offence 10 another, which
is nearly always the case, especially when a
principle is involved. When advancing his
opinions and principles, il he is honest, he is
anxious 10 be as nearly on the right side as
possible, so that when he is attacked on ac-
count Of them, he may fortify himself BY fall
ing back upon truth. But the main point up
on which he is most anxious is the patronage
and support Of his paper. When the dollars
flow in fast, they relieve his mind wonderfully

Beautiful Figure,


Two painters were employed TO fresco the
walls of a magnificent cathedral both stood
on a rude scaiod, constructed for the purpose,
some forty feet from The floor. One of them
was so intent upon his work that he became
wholly al srrhed in admiration, and stood off
from the picture, gazing at it with intense de-
light. Forgetting where he was, he moved
backwards slowly, surveying critically the
work of his pencil, until he neared the very
edge of the plank upon which he stood.
At this critical moment his companion turn
ed suddenly, and, almost frozen with horror
beheld his imminent peril another instant
and the enthusiast would be precipitated upon
the pavement beneath if he spoke TO him il
was certain death-if he held his peace it was
equally sure. Suddenly he regained his pres
ence of mind, and seizipg wet brush, he
flung it against the wall. splauering the beau-
tiful picture with unsightly blothes Of color
ing. The painter flew forward, and turned
upon his friend with fierce imprecation, but
startled at his ghastly face, he listened 10 the
recital of his danger, looked shudderingly over
the dread space below, and with tears Of graft
itude blessed the hand that saved him.
So, said preacher, we sometimes get abb
sorbed in looking upon the pictnres Of the
world, and in contemplating them, step back
wards, unconscious Of our peril, when the AL
mighty dashes out the images, and we spring
forward to lament their destruction-into the
ontstretched arms of mercy, and are saved.
