No Music IN TmE GERMAN CHURcHEs.--A
gentleman, who was travelling in Germany
made the inquiry in an important place in
which he happened t0 be on the Sabbath,
in which church would he be likely tc hear
the best music, The answer was: I'VE do
not have any music in church." Somewhat
surprised, he asked irn no hymns were sung
The person inquired of responded in the
affirmative, but seemed to have no idea
that it was music; it was religious cx-
orcise into which music. came incidentally
without doubt, but in such subordinate
place as to be hardly regarded for its own
sake. This is the proper idea in congrega
tionai singing, Music is not the object. but
devotion. The exercise must not DO re-
garded as musical, but religious. The
most rhetoricolly elegant prayers arc moi
necessarily the best, by any means; but on
the contrary, the rhetoric may become n
positive hindrance. So with the singing
of hymns; that manner which most effect
uaily engages the hearts of the congrega-
tion is bost, though it may lack mRsica
elegance.

THE STRANGER ON THE sILL.
BY THOMAS nucuANAN RrAp.


Between broad fields Of wheat aud corn,
Is the lonely home where was born
The peach-tree leans against the wall,
And the woodbine wanders over all;
There is the shaded doorway still,
But strangers foot has crossed the sill.
There is tho barn--nnd, as or vorc
can smell the hay from the open door,
Aud Sue the busy swallows throng,
And hear the pecwcc's mourutul song;
But the stranger comes oh painful proof
His Sncaves are piled to the heated roof.
There is the orchard-thc very trccs
Where my childhood knew long hours of ease,
Aud watched the shadowy moments run,
Till my lie has imbbcd mCrc shade than sun.
The swing from the bough stills sweeps the air,
But the Strangers children are swinging there.
There bubbles the shady spring below,
With its bulrush brook where the hazrls grow;
Twas there found the calnns root,
And watched the minuowS poisc and shoot,
Aud heard the robin lave his Ning-
But the strangers bucket is at the spring.
Oh, We who daily cross the sill,
Step lightly, for love It still;
And when you crowd the old barn caves,
Then think what countless harvest Sitoayos
Have passed within the scented door
Deal kindly with those orchard trees;
And when your children crowd their knees,
Their sweetest fruit they shall impart,
As il old memories stirred their heart.
To youthful sports still leave the swing,
And in sweet reverence hold the spring.
The barn, the trees. the brook the birds,
The meadows with their lowing herds,
The vpodbinc on the cottage wall
Ny heart still fingers with them all.
Nc strangers ON my native sill,
Step lightly, for love it still.

ONE NOTE WRONG.
Blue beads The skic above
BtVc runs the strean below
Earth quiet as dove;
Would that my heart was so!
Nor leaf nor shadow falls,
On the green hinSde;
Even T. the cuckoo's calls
Echo but half replied.
So lazy goes the hour,
The very dragon-hy,
Pcrched On the duzing 0owcr,
Moves neither wing nor eye.
Bird, bossg,a, branch and stream,
All quiet as the air,
And lying, as ia, n dream,
Earth secmcth passing fair.
Oh. what hymn divine

Only this heart of mine

Where the unseen Islands sleep,

Two brave hearts, with one accord,
Past tumult, grief aud wreck,
Look up calm and praise the Lord
