VALENTINEs.-We shall soon have st.
Valentines day again. Geese of the feath
cred and human sort are supposed to be
more prone to mate upon that occasion
than on any other. Rhymes are much in
fashion, and lines ending in Glove, dove,
kisses, blisses, cupid, stupid, dear, beer, will
you be mine, sweet valentine, signing, dy-
ing, happy, sappy," etc, are sent back and
forth through the Postoffice by school boys
and girls of extremely tender years, under
tho impression they have discovered the
road to matrimony.
The license given to anonymous cores
pondence of this character, is often abused
by the base to the great injury of the
Young and innocent minds The practice
of this indscriminate exchange Of compli.
ments amongst people of older years and
better sense, is almost strictly confined to
humorous matters Astounding in highly COL
ored caricatures, and free and easy poetry.
1t is we'll enough to have little fun that
way, as it makes business for the stationers
and postoffices-both very worthy instl-
tutions

CHURCH Mtsie. Tie demand for music
in our churches seems to be steadily on the
increase, There are but few chnrches in
the city which are not supplied with mu
steal instrument, The First Presbyterian
Church but few months since purchased
q large organ; the members of the Second
Presbyterian Church are daily expecting
the arrival of still larger one. which has
been purchased in the East-while many
other churches Of different denominations
have already been supplied with powerful
organs. Many persons are apt to mistake
the merits Of an organ. As to the express
sion, passion, which most people love in
music; seek it in songs, seek it in opera IN
oratorio, in orchestral instruments, but DO
not look for any singularly fine or glowing
exhibition thereof in the organ. 1t lacks
the power of accent; it cannot emphasize
or shade tone, except to the limited ex'
tent of such contrivances as the swell and
the tremolo. Organ music is not for crowds;
it is like the grander poetry, like the Bible,
to which the musical soul turns in its
deeper moods for strength, for solacs, for
life and freedom in forgetting all the little
wearying personalities which ensnare and
drag us down. Bach's Fugues, and Toca-
tas and Handers Oratorio.fugued Choruses,
which admit very we'll OF being transferred
to the organ, are properly with the full
organ, rolling out great volumes of sounds,
hundreds of pipes blended in one chord
This is the proper organ tone, large utter
ance of Gnd.like thoughts. Ii 1t sounds
confusing and almost stunning at first, the
ear by custom learns to love and crave IT,
and recognizes the movement of individual
voices, and the wealth of varied detail in
its perpetual unfolding
