During the summer season many
persons might enjoy the melancholy mu
sic of this instrument; we therefore, give
the following direction for its Construc-
tion;-lt consists of long. narro" box
of very thin wood, about six inches deep,
with a circle in the middle of the upper
side, of an inch and half in diameter,
in which are to be drilled small holes.
On this side seven, ten, or more strings
of very fine catgut are stretched over
bridges at each end, like the bridge Of a
fiddle, and screwed up or relaxed with
screw pins. The strings must all be
tuned 10 one and the same note, DIS
perhaps the best, and the instrument
should be placed in the window partly
open, in which the width is exactly equal
to the length of the harp, with the sash
Just raised to give the air admission
When The air blows upon these strings
with different degrees Of force, it will
excite different tones Of sound. Some
times the blast brings out all the tones in
full CONCERT, and sometimes it sinks them
TO the softest murmurs. A colossal in-
strument Of this description was invented
at Milan in 1876, by the Able Gattoni.
He stretched seven strong iron wires,
tuned TO the notes Of the gamui; from
the top of tower sixty feet high to the
house of Signor Moscate, also interest.
ed in the success of the exderimeni; and
This apparatus called the giants harp,
in blowing weather yielded heightened
peals of harmonious music. In storm
this music was sometimes heard at the
distance Of several miles.

FEMALE DELIcAcY.-Above all o.her
features which sdoTn the female charac-
ter, delicacy stands foremost within the
province of good taste. Not that deli.
cacy which is perpetually in quest Of
something to be ashamed Of, which makes
merit Of a blush, and simPers a; the false
construction its own ingenuity has put
upon an innocent remark-ihis spurious
kind Of delicacy is far removed from good
sense; but the high-minded delicacy,
which maintains lis pure and undertaking
walk among women and in the socir,y
Of men-and which shrinks from 10 nee.
essary duty, and can speak, when re-
quired; with seriousness and kindness OF
things at which il would be ashamed 10
smile or blush,-thst delicacy which
knows how to confer benefit without
wounding the feelings Of anO'her-which
can give aims without assumption and
which pains not the most susceptible be-
ing creation.

EXTRACT FROM AN OLD AMER1'
CAN PAPER,

The object of a democratic government
being the equal defence of all, to secure
to every man the natural and just effects
of his own faculties; superior advantages
can only be conferred on superior virtues;
on those whose talents, disposition, and
conduct eminently promote public utility.
When the people are virtuous, their vir-
tue will necessarily produce this effect;
is necessary for the public good: Then
every man is safe in the possession Of
his Just share of property and influence;
and the happiness of all is best secured.
But if virtue is banished from the peo-
pie, if they cease to know, love, and
pursue the public good, every man strives
by every possible means, to secure to
himself the utmost portion of public ad-
vantage. Equality and justice, disiri-
button of advantages according 10 useful
faculties, is no longer regarded. No
man asks what is useful TO all, but only
what is useful TO himself. The whole
manifests, not disinterested exertion oi
useful powers, but a base scramble for
offices and gain. Superior advantages
are no longer the reward Of the honest
and the useful; but the prey of the Gun
ming and the rapacious. Talents and
integrity disappear from public stations;
and they are filled by deceit and rapine.
Authority is exercised by the ignorant,
the base, and the unprincipled: and The
powers of government are no longel
directed 10 the public good but 10 wild
variety Of private ends, and plans of mis-
chief.
Let an honest man ask himself which
of those descriptions applies best 10 th'
; present condition of things here.--Editol
of a Pittsburgh paper.
