Vocal Music.

The study of Vocal Music is too much
neglected, and it will not, therefore, be
amiss to state some of the advantages
which may be expected to result from its
more general Introduction into our schools.
Music gives pleasant employment during
leisure hours. There are times of leisure
in every family-evenings Saturday after
moons, Sabbaths, and these seasons can be
made to yield more true enjoyment if en-
livened with or improved by appropriate
music. He who is fond of music need never
suffer from ennui, for he has a constant
source of the purest pleasure within himself.
Besides, temptations come to the young.
especially to young men, during hours in
which they are not employed. It is then
that the dull family fire-side is deserted for
the tavern, the theatre, the club room or
the street corner, vice presents her allure.
ments, the unsuspecting are enticed into
her coils, and thousands fall. Home should
be made more attractive, and nothing is
better calculated to give it charms than
music.
Music cheers men on in the performance
of duty. The mother soothes her sick
child with music; with music the laborer
lightens his toll with music our thoughts
are turned heavenward in the house of God,
and to the sound of music patriot soldiers
march to the battle.
Music promotes good morals. It does
this by furnishing employment for leisure
hours, by increasing the pleasures ofsocial
life. by cheering men on in the performance
Of duty, and by purifying the taste. IN ad-
dition to all this, the natural tendency of
music is to enrich and ennoble the whole
emotional life. From love Of the beauti.
full, it is not difficult to attain to love Of
the true and the good. There is some
thing very much like music in loving our
neighbors as ourselves.

The Restless Sea.

The sea is not only The emblem of change !;
it is itself the cause, directly or indirectly,
of nearly all the physical changes that take
place in the world. Ascend the mountain
summit, and there, amid the crags where
the eagle builds her eyrie, and the heather
grows in the blue immeasurable silence Of
heaven, you tread the shores Of former
sea, whose shells and corals imbedded in
the rocks are still as perfect and beautiful
as when the last retiring wave rippled over
them.
Descend into the stony chambers, of the
earth, and there in the darkness ofthe quar-
ry you will see the petriied skeletons of
fish that once swan in the waters, and the
sands that formed the shores of unknown
seas, and the undulating ripple marks left
behind by the ebb and flow of long forgot
ten tides, we can not name a single spot
where the sea has not some time or other
been.
Every rock that now constitutes the firm
foundation of the earth was once dissolved
in its waters, lay as mud at its bottom, or
terials of our houses were once deposited
in its depths, and are built on the floor of
an ancient ocean. What are now dry con-
GlueuIS were OuC0 OCEAN UeuS anu Will.
are now sea beds will be future continents.
Everywhere the sea is still at work en-
croaching upon the shore-underminin
the boldest cliffs on the coasts by its own
direct agency. And where it cannot reach
ITSELF it sends its emmissares to the very
heart of deserts, and the very SUBMITS of
mountain ranges, and the very innermost
recesses of continents-there to produce
constant dilapidation and change. It's
own waters are confined by the shore line
but no voice has ever said to its feet-footed
winds and its viewless vapors, " Hitherto
shall ye come, and no further" They rise
from their ocean bed, these messengers Of
the sea, and pursue their fight along the
sky until some lofty peak far in the inte-
rior arrests them and they discharge their
watery burden into its bosom, forming the
sources of streams and rivers and glaciers,
that carry on the work of change where
the roar of the sea itself is nauor hoard

WHOLE NO. 70.


Very few persons give attention to the
derivation of the names Of the seasons, or
the months constituting them They are,
however, possessed of great interest, and
for the benefit of such newspaper readers
as have not time to search encyclopadias.
the information contained in this article
is intended
The name of last month, April, is said to
be derived from aperire, which Signifies to
open because, at this time, the earth is
opening and preparing to enrich us with
its gifts Varro thought it was derived
from 4 phrodite because April is conse-
Grated especially to that goddess.
Something similar to the April fools
day, observed on the first of the month,
about the origin Of whichso many different
opinions exist, continues, says the Ency-
clop@dia America, on the authority of a
distinguished gentleman, to be celebrated
in the East Indies, at the time of the Hull
feast.
The observance of the strange custom of
that day is traced back to the fact, that in
the middle ages, scenes from biblical histol
ry were often represented by way of diver
sion, without any feeling of impropriety.-
The scene, for instance, in thabfe Of Jesus
where he is sent from P ilate to Herod, and
bac again to the former, was represented,
In April, and may it is said, have originat-
ed the custom Of sending persons on fruit
less errands.
But to speak Of the month more proper
ly, April has always been regarded as the
usher of delicate-footed May
Signing, storming, singing, smiling;
With her many moods beguiling,
April walks the wakeniug earth,
Whereso'er she looks and fingers,
Whereso' 'er she lays her fingers,
Some new charm starts into birth.

Sound Advice to Parents.

The Philadelphia Ledger, under the head
of Early Indulgence of the Appetites, "
gives this sound advice Parents should
ponder we'll on the danger of an early and
capricious indulgence of the appetites and
imaginary wants of their children. Repet-
tions soon becomes habit, and habit
once formed, even in childhood, will often
remain during whole of after life, acquiring
every year, until at last, it sets all laws,
human and divine, at defiance. Let pa
rents, who yield to the cries of their chill
dren for dainty and promiscuous food, or
who allow them to torment domestic ami
mails or to strike their nurses, or to raise
the hand against any person, consider we'll
on the consequences. The moral effects
of pampering the appeties of children are
most melancholy. Is the mother afraid of
an explosion of passion, bribe is too Of
ten promised in the shape of cake or tart
as peace offering. Does it annoy whole
company by its boisterous or illtimed
pranks, it is persuaded to be quiet by the
promise of some sweetmeats. Ifit has been
good, as the phrase is, and learned its let
ters, the reward is still too frequently some
thing for the stomach Eating is soon re-
garded as the chief end and object of life
by child, who sees in it the chief incen'
tive to good behavior. A premium would
truly seem to be given for gluttony. The
use of the other nobler senses, and OF the
faculties of the mind, the early cultivation
of the kindlier feelings of our nature
generosity, disinterestedness, pity, flial love
all are overcome or postponed in favor
of the one sensual, selfish and absorbing
act of gormandizing.

How to Live.

A wealthy gentleman of Boston, several
years ago, gave the editor of the Worces-
ter Palladium short narration of his own
experience. He had an income of $4,000
year, Ia large sum then, but not consider
ed so now house in town, and country
seat few miles out. He had several chill
dren-a coach, fine horses and a driver ;
and took pleasure in riding every day with
his children.
One day, when riding, the thought
struck him that each one of his children
would expect to have fine house and a
coach and horses and driver, as their faith
er had before them, and to live as he lived
and if they did not they would be unhappy.
He did not think that all of them could
have things as he had them, or live as he
was living and he rode home; sent his
coach and horses to market and sold them /;
bought cheap carryall, and became his
own driver.
With emphasis he declared that no
amount of wealth could induce him to re-
turn to his former mode of living, for if any
of his children should chance to be poor,
as in all probability some of them would
be, they should not suffer in their feelings
by the reflection that their father rode in
his coach while they had to rough it on
foot. The example he gave them afforded
him satisfaction greater than his wealth
had to bestow.

Beautiful Extract.

When the face of Nature is wreathed
with smiles, and the heart reioices in pros
perity, it is because some darling object is
about to be obtained-some valuable pos
session near at hand It is the hope of
happiness that sustains the soul when sink
ing under adversity that calms the troub-
led spirit that pours into the heart of
grief those consultations which are healing.
The chief aim and object Of life is happi-
ness, and the pursuit thereof permanent
pleasure for, even in the darkest days of
life may be seen the beautiful rainbow OF
hope, and it sends its rays of light far over
the fearful chasms of death, into a land
where the eye that is fading on earth can
discern objects of heavenly beauty, me
hope of happiness is the rainbow and the
sunshine Of life and though clouds may
sometimes darken the horizon, yet the rain
bow will soon appear, and the clouds give
place to sunshine and beauty.

THE BLUE-BIRD.
By ALExANpEn WILSON.

When Winters cold tcmpests and SHOWS no more,
Green meadows and brown furrow'd fields re-appear
ing, 4Ha'l aisa
The fishermen hauling their nets to the Shore
And cloud-ceavng geese TO the north all steering
When first the low butterfly fits the wing,
When red glow the naples so fresh and so pleasing,
then comes the bird, the herald of Spring
And halls with his warblings, the charms of the
son.
He fits through the orchard, he visits each tree,
The red towering peach, and the apples sweet bios
sons
The fruit-bearing products, wherever they be,
And seizes the caitif1s that lurk in their bosoms
He drags the vile grub from the corn it devours,
The from their beds where they riot and weler
His song and his services freely ours
And all that he asks is, in Summer shelter
But when the gay scenes of the Summer are o'er
And Autumn slow enters, so silent and sallow,
And millions ofwarbers that charm'd us before
Have fed in the train of the sun-seeking swallow,
The blue Bird forsaken yet true to his home,
Still fingers and looks for mlder tomorrow,
TILL forced by the rigors of Winter to roam,
He sings his adieu i'll a lone note of sorrow.
While Springs lovely season, serene dewy, warm,
The green face of earth and the pure blue of heaven
Or loves native music, have power to charm,
Or sympathy's glow to our feelings is given,
Still dear to each bosom the blue-bird shall be
His voice. like the thrings of hope, is treasure;
For through beakeSt storms, if a calm he but see,
He comes to remind us ofsunshine and pleasure
