TO he oOnnaisseur in matters pertaining to
the True and tho beautiful, I hesitate not
TO claim your columns as the medium for
a brief musical cttf'Qus.
MUSIC, ~ a Science, belongs TO an inter
estiug part Of natural philosophy, which,
by mathematical deductions from CON
slant phenomena, explains the causes and
properties Of sound, Limiting the number
Of mixed or harmonic sounds to certain
series, and fixing the ratio which they
hear 20 each other. But considered aH an
art. IL combines the sounds, which philos-
ophy distinguishes In such manner ss TO
crafty our ears. or affect orr imagination;
or, by uniting both objects, TO cap'iv"te
the fancy while IL pleases the sense
speaking. IL were. the language OF besuu-
full nature. TO raise correspondent ideas
and emotions in the mind Of the hearer.
Then, an then only, music becomes what
is called fine art allied very nearly to
verse. painting and rhetoric. This com
binstion we GnJ In tho performances OF
the Draytons.
As regards Mn. DRArroN, allow me To
say, that he fully sustains his we'll
earned reputation. His full, deep yet
mellow tones, are tho uuo and weleome
exponents Of impassioned feeling, and
mingle in the light and graceful accom-
paniments, like those sombre shades OF
pof1os which serve to render more perfect
the combined efforts Of genius and OF art.
Az an actor it ia sufficient TO say, that he
ioots the pnrt, and omits nothing necess"-
ry to faithful portraiture.
Mas. DRArToN has pure soprano voice,
bearing evidence ofthorough and consc'en-
thus training, and an innate enthu iasm
for nrt. Her dramatic effects are really
excellent. In,bued with the spirit OF tho
character, nhe giveswsy with perfect aoan-
don TO tho impulses Of the moment, and
this gush Of feeling and power cannot but
affect the hesrer like spell. Her singing
is purely beautiful 1t comes from the
heart, and with method well calculated
to praise.

VorERs AND OFFICERS IN rHk UNI
TED SrATEs. The number of voters
in the United States may be set
down at 100000; the total of Of
fees in the gift of the National Ex.
ecutivc is 10000. For each OF these
Offices there are on an average not
less than FIVE applicants. About
one in seventeen Of our citizens is
desirous of Office.
1t is very clear from the valua-
bic statistics furnished above, that
q division of the Union, would give
twice the number Of Offices, which
added to state Offices would afford
place to one out Of five of the total
population. A very happy condi'
tion Of things, if the salaries can be
made the same, under democratic
rules Of equality. This ought to
secure peace. The experiment is

The EXTRA ScE To A WoMAN's LIFE.
There is a touching beauty in the
radiant look Of girl just crossing
the limits of youth and commenc-
ing her journey through the check
cred space of womanhood. 1t is
all dew sparks and morning glory
to her ardent, buoyant spirit, as
she presses forward exulting in
blissful anticipations. But the with
ering heat of the conflict of life
creeps on; the dew-drops exhale ;
the garlands of hope, shattered and
dead, strew the path; and too Of
ten, ere noon tide, the brew and
sweet smile are exchanged for the
weary look of one looking for the
evening rest, the twilight, the night.

HONE LIFE.-Even as the sun
beam is composed of millions of
minute rays, the home life must be
constituted of little tendernesses,
kindly looks, sweet laughter, gen
tie words, loving counsels; it must
not be like the torch-blaze of un-
natural excitement, which is easily
quenched, but like the serene, chas.
tened light which burns as safely
in the dry cast wind as in the still
est atmosphere. Let each bear the
others burden the while-let each
cultivate the mutual confidence,
which is a gift capable Of increase
and improvement-and soon it will
be found that kindliness will spring
up on every side, displacing consti-
tutional unsuitability, want of mu-
tual knowledge, even as we have
seen sweet violets and primroses
dispelling the gloom of the gray
sea rocks.

signed the bill, for it appears in

yesterday morning. On Monday
the 1th Of the coming month, the
election of delegates is ordered.
The people are forced into this po-
sition without even day for re-
Hection. and if inactive, the turbu-

precipitate us into revolution,
which is but one step from the door,
