SINGING.

A correspondent of the Noyt4- ,oeste57, Aduo- cate, Chicago, Illinois, who urges the necessity of reform in church music says; "Our anna teur choir singers are too fond of executing difficult pieces, and astonishing common peo- pie with reverberatins resonances. The Rector of St. Bardolph's takes off this style admirably in describing the singing of the following stanza: ''' True love is like that precious oil,
 Which, pour'd on Aaron's head Ran down his beard, and oer his robes lts costly moisture shed.' |" In the prodigious effort of this perform ance, the ear-spitting combination of the sev- eral voices hardly bore a resem 6lance to that oily current poured on Aaron's head, and which

Diseases of the Liver.

When the celebrated Dr. Rush declared that drunkenness was disease, he enuncated truth winch the experience and observation of medical men is every day confirming. The many apparently insane exccsses of those who indulge in the~use of spirituous liquors, may be thus accounted for. The ulty cause of con duct, WhichSas taken for infatuation. is very frequently diseased state of the Liver No organ in the human system when deranged. produces more frghtfu catalogue of diseases And If, instead of applying remedies to the manifestations of disease, as is too often the case, physicians would prescribe with view to the original cause fewer deaths would result from diseases induced by deranged state of the Liver. 1hree-lourths of the diseases emu merated under the head cf Consumption, have ther seat in a diseased Liver. Dr. M'Iane's celebrated Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros, are certain cure.
