Music Of Solomon's Temple.

The disentombing of Assyrian sculp-
lures and the deciphering of Assyrian
and Egyptian inscriptions, have open
ed new fields Of investigation in al
most every department of knowledge.
Among the branches Of science which
have shared in these discoveries, thar
OF music has been benefited largely.
The accounts Of ancient musical i'll
Struments were vague, and our ideas,
especially those Of Hebrew music,
were confused, till recently sculptures
and paintings have been brought to
light, which delineate the musical IN
struments of the early Oriental nations
and in a number of cases veritabIe
specimens have been disentombed.-
Such, for example, is an Egyptian harp
found in Thebes, with its strings yet
perfect enough to vibrate again, after
silence of three thousand years.
The more recent Investigations
prove that the parent of all known
musical science was Assyria. From
the Assyrians, the Hebrews, and the
Egyptians, and indeed, all Eastern ma
tions derived their knowledge Of mu-
sic. The unveiled monuments show
that in the time of Sennacherib, music
was highly cultivated art, and must
have existed through generations
This polished nation used harp of
twenty-one strings, the frame of which
was four feet high, which accompanied
minstrel songs, or was borne in the
dance. The Tyre oftortoiSe she'll, the
double pipe, the trumpet, drum, and
bell were common. Even of the bag
pipe, representations have been dis
covered, though none of stringed in
strumentS like the violin played with
the bow.
In all delineations of social or wor-
shipping assemblies, musical instru-
ments very much like our modern
ones, have a prominent place. The
Hebrew music, at the time of the EX-
odus, was purely Egyptian; but it was
much modified subsequently by asso-
citation with Asiatic nations. In the
Temple of Jerusalem, according to
Talmud, stood powerful organ con-
sisting of a wind chest with ten holes,
containing ten pipes, each pipe capa-
ole of emitting ten different sounds
by means of finger holes, SO that a
hundred sounds could be prodnoed by
it. 1t was provided with two pairs OF
bellows, and ten keys. so that it could
he played with the fingers. Accord
ing to the Rabbins, it could be heard
a great distance from the Temple.

Spurgeon.

A writer to the San Francisco Evan
gelist, Rev. F. Charlton writes as fol-
lows, giving his impressions on hear
ing Spurgeon preach:
| conversed with wealthy church
man about the great success of Spur
geon, and though he abounded in
negatives of what Spurgeon was not,
he u t rly failed to enlighten me-
"Spurgeon," he said twas not educated
was not clever (smart) nor eloquent,
but was a preacher of the sensation
school, and that the multitudes of
mechanics and small shop-keepers ran
after him. But if | would hear some
thing, [ must hear the Bishop Of Ok
ford" | told his honor that had
not heard of the Bishop of Oxford,
and | presumed the world generally
was ignorant OF his existence. As
for sensation, the first preachers made
the greatest, and by such preaching
the Apostles woke the world from the
torpor of centuries, and that the me-
chanics and trades people ran after
him, though intended as criticism,
was really a splendid compliment;
for of Him who spake it is written,
The common people heard Him glad
Iy.''
But | denied all the negatives. He
is educated, clever (smart) and elo-
quent. His rhetoric is fine, his diction
often splendid, his figures true and
brilliant, his pathos genuine and pow<
erful. The matter and arrangement
OF MS discourse are not meagre or
faulty. But to my mind all the above
excellencies constitute no great part
of the sources of pleasure and profit
YOU get in hearing Spurgeon. /. Pu-
rity and perspicuity in almost perfect
degree are found in Spurgeon. OF
his purity I>have to say: His matter
is pure Gospel, unmixed. Ruin, re-
demption and regeneration freight his
discourse. So the vehicle of his de-
INeIY 10 pure Ill folCt, III nldllICI dlIu
in larg gIage. Of his perspicuity l
have to say, any one can understand
him. He projects the truth in bold
promontories upon your intellect, and
you see and accept them without study
or doubt. He conceives the truth so
clearly that it moves him nightly,
and moved himself, he sways you al
so. These qualities SO eminent in
him enable him to hear for you. That
is, he makes it very pleasant tc hear.
2. He thinks for you. That is, the
truth is made so plain that no mental
process is necessary on your part
Like an unhedged robin, fed by its
mother, you do not stop to examine
the food, but know that it is the truth,
and so open your mouth and take it
in. 3. This truth that so meIts and
Sways him, kindles the same fires in
you. o, that many more such suns
kind|ed by Him who is the Light of
the world, would rise to shine on this
dark sphere.

A HORRIBLE DEED.-A most shock
ING murder was committed in Nichol-
as county, Kentucky. on Sunday last.
The wife of a young man named Alex.
IT. Stewart, living three miles from
Blue Lick Springs, had been in the
habit of visiting the orchard ofa neigh
Dor to get apples. She had the per-
mission of the owner of the orchard,
an old gentleman whose name our in
formant could not learn, to take the
hruit: but on her last visit to his
premises she undertook to carry off
more than he was willing she should
have. Some hard words passed be-
tween them, when she went home and
informed her husband that the ole
man had insulted her. This greatly
enraced Stewart, and he armed him
self with a butcher knife and went IL
search of the owner OF the orchard
Finding him leaning back in a char
at his home, Stewart caught him b
the head and cut his throat from ca
to ear.
The murderer was arrested mex
day and lodged in Jail at Carlisle
The tragic affair created great excite
ment throughout Nicholas county, an
there was strong talk among the cit
a zens of taking the prisoner from tt
: Jail and lynching him, but ON Wedne
day he made his escape oy knockI
g the jailor down.

CUTTING FOoD FOR CATTLE.-A di-
versity of opinion exists among our
farmers as to the length which hay or
straw is most advantageously ly cut for
cattle-one part contending that one
inch is short enough, and the other
Just as certain that it is not We are
inclined to the former opinion, and
will give our reasons.
The object Of using the straw cut
ter is to prevent waste and to tacill-
the process of mastication 1t is not
enough that the food is put into the
stomach, but that it should 90 there in
a proper condition for digeStion-in a
perfectly masticated form, with the
fibre broken and thoroughly incorpo-
rated with saliva. 1t is uniformly en-
joined upon persons who are sickly to
chew their food well that it may more
readily digest; and we see cattle that
are fed high upon whole grain void
the perfect grain without its having
benefited them in the least. Whether
this could or would be the case with
fine cut hay we cannot say positively,
but it is our opinion that it would be
so. AT all events there can be no
doubt that all solid food should be per-
fectlv chewed and mixed with saliva
and if we cut the hay or straw too
short the animal will not masticate ii
properly. but will swallow it without
the proper amount OF chewing, and of
course without being properly mixed
with saliva, hence it cannot be digest
ed to a healthful extent. We have
seen half inch hay and straw come
through both horses and cattle appar
emily unchanged in either form or con
dition, but never saw such to be tht
case when the fodder was not cut les
than one inch; in such cases we hav,
more than once seen it tinged witt
blood. We should therefore recon
mend an inch as the best LENGTH

Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathlessly on thy fate
We know what Master LAID thy keel,
What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge, and what heat,
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
'Tis of the wave and not the rock
'Tis but the tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempes:'s roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore.
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tea
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Arc all with thee, are all with thee.

Rest Thee, Mother.
BY Mrs. CLARA B. HEATH.

Rest thee, mother-life to thee
Was at best but mockery,
Night nor morn could bring relief;
Still the same unchanging grief
Dimmed thine eye with bitter tears /;
Joyless passed the weary years
Rest thee, santed mother, rest,
lnthat heavenly home so blest
Restthee from thy trials now,
No more grief or pain thou'lt know
Sweetly rest on Canaan's shore,
Nought shall ever grieve thee more.
Happy home, all free from sin,
Nought that's vile can enter in;
Rest thee, mother, sweetly rest,
In those mansions of the blest.
Rest thee-we are lonely here,
And we miss thee, mother dear,
Miss thy gentle voice the while,
Miss thy sad, yet touching smile,
Miss thy gentle words of cheer,
When our hearts grow weary here
Yet we feel that thou art blest;
Rest thee, mother, softly rest.
Rest thee, mother, Sweetly rest,
Thou art happy, thou art blest
Times home of peace and love-
That bright, sinless world above;
Lonely was thy lot in this
Few, how few, thy days of bliss
Thou art happy, thou art blest;
Rest thee, sainted mother, rest.

Methodist Liberality.

John Wesley gave a notable exam
pie of benevOlence in his own life, and
his influence in this particular has
been most powerful on the whole
Methodist connection. No body of
Christians give more freely to the
great charities conducted by their
churches. They contribute less, per-
haps, to union organizations, to social
objects, for they cling tcnaciously to
their own agencies and leaders.
The present year being the centena-
ry year, magnificent schemes have been
formed for raising a fund worthy of
the epoch and honorable to the de-
nomination. When first proposed, it
was thought that 81 100000 would
accomplish the end designed; but, on
farther consideration, it was felt by
those interested in the movement that
this sum was inadequate to the occa.
sion. BY general consent it was de.
cided that the mark should be fixed al
$2,OOO,OOO.
Soon after it had been announced
that this was the amount desired
Bishop Morris sent singing article
to one of the weekly papers, deploring
the low aims and the weak faith which
we're content with so small a sum-
He implored his brethren, and cspeci
ally the ladies in the churches, to lay
out their work on grander scale, anC
be content with nothing short of S.,
100000. Another enthusiastic write
the Western Church h Advocate
thinks the bishop has erred in not lift
ling the standard still higher. FL
enters into an elaborate estimate Of
the wealth of sMethodists, and thei
ability to contribute, and proves t.
his own satisfaction, that it would b.
easy to raise $10,000,00O, Withou
imposing heavy burdens on any church
es. AS a single church in Buffalo
not noted for ability, has raised $25
1000, and gives no sign of over strain
| ing or exhaustion, it looks as if hi
estimates were not eXtravagant.
There is little doubt, however, tina
The aggregate contributions of tn
year will exceed those Of any Othe
religious body in similar period, an
may have an influence in elevatin
the general standard of religious b'
nevo!ence. 1t would be well fc
I Baptists to initiate such an eXampI
in our Home Mission work. n.

frequently putting up his restless hand
to touch her face, and remind himself,
in his blindness, of her loved features.
When he talked it was of his unfnish-
work, his convictions of the justice of
the cause in which he fell, his ankle,
ties of his wife, left alone in a cruel
world, and of his enemies and murder
ers, always forgivingly, as if they knew
not what they did. At different times
too, he spoke of the riot, relating
facts and incidents as have set them
down.
1t afflicted him much to leave his
wife penniless. He had had little
money in his pocket when he came to
the convention, but that, with the gold
studs in his bosom, had been plunder-
ed by some of the ruffians who took
part in mutilating his person.
Thus he fingered until the sixth day

the melody of his once fine voice, join

sung again and preached, taking for
his text, "Out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh." After
these exercises he expressed his wish
to close with the Lords supper, and
Immediately began the beautiful cere-
mouy. His wife, anxious to crafty
him, skilIfully aided with such meagre
conyeniences as were at hand to car
ry out his touching fancy. He partook
with her what seemed to him the SYM

drink from the same cup, Emma, said
he. Another hymn, a benedictiOn,
