MISCELLANY.
FOR TIE INDEPENDENT PRESS.
Musical Festival at Lebanon Chul

Mr.. Editor Having been kindly inv.
ted, we attended, on Wednesday last, the
close of the second term of lessons in Sacred
Music, given by Mr.. Adams, at Lebanon
Church, about five miles south west Of this
Village.
AS in our judgement the occasion de-
serves a public notice, we crave for it n
place in the columns Of your valuable paper.
The class taught by Mr.. Adams at this
place was large one, embracing those Of
all ages and Of both sexes; feature about
a class Of the kind, which is not very COM
mon. but which we were much gratified TO
see as it shows that the good citizens OF
the eighborllood referred 10. at least, are
not ashamed to be seen at singing school
that they are becoming aroused to the
importance of the subject Of church mu-
sic, and are willing to expend, time and
means, in an honest effort to improve con-
gregational singing.
We think (and we claim to be, to some
extent, capable Of forming an opinion in
the premises,) that the classes have been
most rapidly advanced by Mr.. Adams.
We were informed, that when he under
took it, a great majority Of its members,
were utterly unacquainted with the priuei-
pies Of music. They can now, and did.on
that day, sing with ease and correctly, too,
in most, if not all, of the usual keys--not
a few pieces that were practiced for the oc-
Acasion, but great number, and variety Of
pieces, some Of which were entirely new to
4he class. We were particularly struck
with. the performance Of the boys who
sung Afto. To look at their sizes, you
would hardly suppose that they conld
read letters, and get the little fellows
could read their notes. with astound.

Checked Perspiration.

There are two kinds Of perspiration, sen
sible and insensitle. When we see drops
~ the surface of the body as the
- or exercise, or subsidence of fever,
that is sensible preparation, perspiration
recognized by the sense of sight. But
when perspiration is so geutlc that cannot
be detected in the shape of water-drops,
when no moisture can be felt, when it is
known to US only by certain softncss of
the skin, that is inse1asible perspiration, and
is so gentle that it may be checked to !.
| very considerable extent without special in
jury. But to use popular language which
cannot be mistaken, when man is sweat
ing freely, and it is suddenly checked, and
tho sweat is not brought out again in few
moments, sudden and painful sickness is a
very certain result.
What then, checks perspiration9 A
draft Of air while We are at rest, after exer-
else, or getting the clothing wet and remain
ing at rest while it is so. Getting out Of a
warm bed and going to an open window or
door, has been the death Of mullitudes.
A lady heard the cry Of fire at midnight
it was bitter cold it was SO near, the flames
illuminated her chamber. She left the bed,
hoisted the window, the cold chilled her in
a moment. From that hour until her death,
a quarter of a century later, she never saw
well day.
A young lady went to her window in her
night clothes to look at something in the
street, leaning her unprotected arms on the
stone window.sill, which was damp and
cold. She became an invalid, and will re-
main SO for life.
Sir Thomas Colby being in profuse
sweat one night, happened to remember
that he had left the key of his wine cellar
on the parlor table, and, fearing his servants
might improve the inadvertence and drink
some Of his wine, he left his bed, walked
down stairs, the sweating process was check
ed, from which he died in few days, leav-
ing six million Of dollars in English funds.
His illness was so brief and violent that he
had no opportunity to make his wiik and
his immense property was divided among
+ +fiveor'six 1ay4sbore, . 'whorwess Ills nearest
relatives.
The great practical lesson which we wish
to impress upon the mind of the reader is
this: When you are perspiring freely,
keep in motion until you get to good fire,
or to some place where you are perfectly
sheltered from any draft Of air whatever.
THE above is from Halls Journal of
Health, and we cannot but commend it to
general attention. There are but few per-
sons, we believe, who cannot recall some
case within their own observation, of violent
colds, consumption and permature death,
caused by perspiration being suddenly
checked. We have known many such cas-.
es ourselves. No one requires to be inform
ed that checked perspiration is oftentimes
the cause Of disease; but there are so many
who are liable to forget or overlook this
fact, that it is good and necessary to give
frequent warnings like the above.

The Light at Home,

The light at home how bright it beams
When evening shades around US full {.
And from the lattice far it CLEANS, =.
To love and rest and comfort call
When wearicd with the tolls of day,
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way.
Where loving lips will lisp our name
Around the light at home.
When through the dark and stormy night
The wayward wanderer homeward hies:
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies.
1t is the light Mt home he feels
The loving hearts will greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The JOY and love that Danish care
Around the light ut home.
The light at home when ere ut last ,
ltgreets the seaman Though the storm
He feels no more the chilling blast
That beats upon his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fed,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss.
But the sad tears which then she shed
Will now be paid with raptur ous bliss
Around the light at home
The light of home how still and sweet
1t peeps from vondcr cottage door
The weary lahorcr TO greet
When the rough tolls of day are DER. 50
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow.
And tighten up the heaviest heart
Around the light at home.

A BOLD PREAcnER.-When Samuel
Davies was President of Princeton College,
he visited England for the purpose of ob-
tanning donations tor the institution. George
the Seventh had curiosity to hear
preacher from "the witls of America" He
accordingly attended, and was so much
struck with the commanding eloquence Of
the preacher, that he expressed his aston
ishment loud enough to BIZ heard halfway
over the church, in such terms as these -
"He is a wonderful man why, he beats
my bishops!' Davies observing that the
King was attracting more attention than
himself, paused, and looking his Majesty
full in the face, gave him, in an emphatic
tone, the following rebuke :-"When the
lion roareslh, let the beast of the forest
tremhle and when the Lord speaketh, let
the kings Of the earth keep silence
king instantly shrunk back in his seat, and
remained quiet during the remainder of the
sermon. The next day the monarch sent
for him, and gave him fifty guineas for the
institution over which he presided, observ-
ing at the same time to his courtiers -"He
is ali honest man-an honest man."

Truth Somewhat Colored.

An English tourist in America gives in
Colburns London Magazine some sketches
ofswhat he observed aud some hits at faults,
which, though little colorcd. possess much
truth. He was in Washington during the
struggle for the Spcakcrship, and speaks as
follows Of what he saw. What he says of
our filthy habit Of splitting is very little, if
at all exaggerated

constant sharp striking Of letters and pa

squirts his tobacco juice at his neighbor's
spittoon, which he misses. This is the
