Music on a Steamboat. -

Holland of the Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican, has been taking a summer trip
and has related something of his expert
enee. On board the steamer from New
York to Albany was calliope, which
played by a good performer discoursed
excellent music and really gave pleasure
to the passengers. We let the DR.. tell
the rest ofthe story.
s'But he went on shore, alas and our
luck changed. The instrument passed in
to the hands of a young woman whe even
stumbled in performing the Old One Hun
dreth," and such laundering, bawling,
squalling, fzzling, squealing and splur-
ging I never heard before. Several SEN
sitive people were attacked with cramps.
Small dogs looked skyward and howled,
Half a dozen men would involuntarily
bite their cigars off at time, which fell
upon the deck unsmoked. BOOSTERS on
shore clapped their wings and crowed,-
In short, we were murdered by this young
woman, who. we ascertained at last was
''taking lessons" ofthe accomplished Doc
tor. Its pity she cannot have small
er audience during her practice.

The nAtlantic U-Stronof bro;ns

The aAtlantic." Strong brains
are working almost all over the world =
busy hands are writing out the manu-
script-printers in Boston are rapidly
clinking in the types,-the great steam
press begins to rouse itself and to rain its
shower Of printed leaves, and these are
bound and so near the close OF every
month,-the atlantic is sent forth to
thousands of eager expectants and friends.
The atlantic rose from the horizon lit
erary star of the first magnitude, and it
exhibits no waning of light In the Sept.
number, "Daphnaides" and the Skin
loch Estate" are concluded, an eloquent
article on "Eloquence," two pleasant sto-
ries, some choice poetry, and another in
imitable article from the Amocrat. The
Autocrat has walked out with the school
mistress again, and he said some very
fine things which we will give our readers
next week. Meanwhile, read what he
says about truth in woman:
al would have woman as true as
Death. AT the first real lie which works
from the heart outward, she should be
tenderly chloroformed into better world,
where she can have an angel for gov
ernness, and feed on strange fruits which
will make her all over again, even to her
bones and marrow"
Every number of the atlantic is like
small but judiciously chosen library, con-
tanning portion of the best of almost
every department of literature.

Spiritualism. - Last week, DIR

/
Spiritualisno. Last week, DIR.
Mathew of New York gave three lectures
on this subject in this place. The lectures
were attended by large and attentive
audience. The Dr. was not medium,
but gave the philosophy of Spiritualism,
and brought arguments from the Bible,
from natural science and from human ex-
perience, to establish his position. Some
of the leading ideas advanced were the
principle of progression in all things from
the rock to the vegetable, thence to the
animal, thence to man, and so onward
forever through the countless spheres of
spiritual existehce-the common and ia
n,iliar intercourse of spirits with mortals,
and the eternal probation of spirits,-he
holding that the same or better opportu-
mites for repentance and reform are af-
forded in the spiritual world, as those we
enjoy here.
While differing widely from the lectu-
rer in many things, we were much inter-
ested in the discourses, they being the
exponent of the belief of many true and
earnest men. We have no sympathy
with that rigid, purblind Righteousness,
which clothes itself in an impenetrable
conservatism-which clings with obstinate
tenacity to old beliefs-which believes
every innovation on the established order
Of things to be of the Devil, and so shuts
its ears against all discussion. We are
not to be frightened from the discussion of
any important subject, by the cry that
the Devil is one of the chief debaters.
We remember that our blessed Savior
was accused as blasphemer and Sab
bath-breaker by the religionists of his
day. We remember that all true pro-
gress in science and religion has been
pointed out by those who were deemed
foolish or mad, and that the great bene-
factors of mankind have been greeted with
calumny and contempt. Speech, discus
sion, is the wind that is to winnow the
chaff from the wheat, and error cannot be
confined in darkness, and rendered in
nocuous, but it must be vanquished in
open combat under the broad daylight of
heaven.
For ourself, we have no craving desire
to get sight into the spiritual world.
If there is any spirit who wishes to COM
municate to us anything important OF
beneficial, we should be most happy to
pay him respectful attention; but we re-
gard the practice and precepts Of Christ
as not only a safe but sufficient law of life,
"a law which, if obeyed, will bring bless
ing here, and adj blessing hereafter.
We are not SO ready to defy reason
as some are. We have an idea that faith
is not to be dospised. Reason should be
our guide in all matters which lie within
its province; but religion has mysteries
which the human mind cannot fathom.
Reason and Religion never contradict each
other; they run on in closest unity and
most perfect harmony, until religion pass
es beyond the ken of reason, and there
reason should merge into faith, even as
the early light of morning melts into the
splendors of the broadning day.

Gone Up.-We mean the liquor
saloon in this place. 1t departed this life
some time last week, went out in quiet
manner. There has been no public dem
onstration of sorrow. 1t was never health
y, and the cause of its early demise was
a general debility induced by want of pat
ronage. We rejoice that we are again
able to say there is no place in this village
where liquor is publicly retailed. The sa-
loon just closed was as respectable as any
liquor saloon can be. 1t was clean, or
derby place. Wenever heard of any row,
or bachanalan revelry proceeding from
it. Itwas simply a liquor saloon, and
the people here would not support it, and
SO rs q matter of course it failed.

A Pleasant Sight.-It is curl

A Pleasant Sight.-Iti is curious
how circumstances will sometimes modi-
fly the appearance of men( for women eli
ther and other things in generally There
are always favorable aspects in which a
person may be viewed, surroundings
which may help or detract from, his ap-
poarance. We are led to make this re-
mark from n little occurrence that hap
pened to-day. While sitting perfectly un-
concerned, penning some of the para
graphs on this page, the door opened and
we saw our friend Mr.. TRUMAN I. GLASS.
Nothing strange about that. Certainly
not, but the next glance we saw huge
watermelon intended for us of course
We never saw Mr.. Glass look so we'll be-
fore. That great globular body was his
proper surroundings" Wonder how
some of our other friends would look in q
similar situation

Politeness, versus Piety.

A New England clergyman now in Eng
land, is contributing series of interest
ing letters to the Springfield Mass, Re
publican. In one of these letters he speaks
of the finished breeding and high toned
demeanor of the Students at Oxford, and
says:
s.The idea of the finished gentleman is
almost the Deity worshipped among the
educated classes in England. Elegant
manners, rank higher than piety in the es-
tablished church, and the candidates for
orders must absolutely be gentlemen, as
a sine qua non. Whether saints or not,
is of inferior importance"

The Celebration

or The Ce1ebration.-To-day (Sep.
1st) the world is witnessing the grandest
celebration it has ever seen. All the
great cities in America, Europe, and
throughout the civilized world, celebrate
to-day the success of the Atlantic Tele-
graph. No such cheering sight has ever
gladdened the world before. 1t is no
nation that is celebrating some glorious
era in its h;story-no sect, secular or re-
Iigious, that is holding high carnival
but to-day HUMANITY rejoices, the Mus
sulman, the Frank, and the Saxon join
together in a glad pean of thanksgiving
over the success of that wondrous scheme
which has brought Constantinople to the
doors of New York, made the nations
neighbors, and strengthened throughout
all the world the bonds of amity and
peace. At this wondrous sight the phi
lanthropist may take courage. The mag
nitude of the success has struck the ma
tons with awe, the religious sentiment is
stirred and awakened, and amid the gor
geous displays, the thunder of cannon, the
blaze of fireworks, will go up from mil
lions of deyout hearts the solemn but glad
utterance-" Hallelujah! for the Lord
God Omnipotent, reignethw

Tobacco.

''r Tobacco. = People have different
views about tobacco. The genial elk
Marvel pronounces a good cigar to be a
"capital companion and comforter"
Bayard Taylor who ought to know some
thing about it, thinks its influence bene-
fetal; while on the other hand Horace
Mann dlseourses against it with nervous
energy. Timothy Titcomb, alias DR.. Hol-
land, vents his antipathy to it in severest
satire; and Charles Lamb, that queer,
good, witty fellow, gives us his sentiments
with regard to tie weed in the following
couplet which we consider pretty strong
- +" Filth of the body, fog of the mind,
stinkingest of the sinking kind"
But let the use of tobacco be an evil or
not, if people will use it, they had better
raise it themselves when they can do So.
o We have no doubt that tobacco may be
successfully raised in this part of the State.
Tn Minnesota the experiment has been
tried with good success. For the last
three years Dea. VIM. Powell has raised
tobacco in this place. He has now some
ms fine plants as we ever seen.
