wEEK.DAY MusIc ON SUNDAY.

A variety OF musical entertainments are
given in every considerable town during each
week Of the year, save when the strong sum
meE sun is blazing away with his utmost fury.
Here in Philadelphia we are fortunate
enough to have. an extensive and spieadld
building devoted to music. Unless the times
are unprecedentedly tight and lugubrious, we
can go thither, and, sea.ed on soft velvet and
surrounded by all sorts of beauties, can listen

We can put on an exceedingly critical coun-
tenance oyer scientific, sublime, and uniptel-
liglble compositions. We can yet gradually

over her chest, and raise herself aloft, while
she executes brilliant flight OF io-tts. We
can keep time with our hands and feet to some
simple, appreciable air. We can lose oursclvc-

listen 10 the same indefinitely extended trl-
ling at those rather stupid al5irs--to the
same shrill high notes, and rumbling low notes,
and jarring loud notes. Piano-iOrtes are not
uncommon household appendages. In the
absence Of either opera or concert, we can
lavish our muscular strength on those delight
ful instruments lof torture, how often ,, and
indulge in the most approved modern yocaliza
tion while seated at the same. Surely, there
is no lack of music-gay, lively romantic
sentimental, abstract, thrilling, cheering. We

to every sensible mind that light, CAV

this paragraph, andwho has not been assessed
will give immediate attention to this vital sub

for granted that his name is on The Assessors

heard Of several cases of the grossest careless
