Visit to the Mission School.

On Tuesday last we made an inter-

the Episcopal Church recently estab-
lished in our town, and were much
pleased with the tidiness and order
and progress displayed by the pupils.
The board of missions has been fortu-
nate in procuring the services of a
Lady who combines with singular ex-
perience and aptitude for teaching the
very warmest Southern sympathies
and IDEAS and an intimate familiarity
with the character Of the race that is
too rare in similar establishments. The
experiment, in our altered condition.

Church Music,

On the forenoon of Sabbath last,
having been too unwell to participate
In public divine worship, we had oc-
casion to fall into certain train Of
reflection upon church music. Our
homo being in the sound distance of
three of our churches, in all of which
public worship was going on, it occurr-
ed to us that church music was one
part of the public worship too much
neglected. We compared the desire to
have an educated ministry with the
desire to have good music much to the
detriment of the latter. If our pas
tors offend good grammar, chaste rhet-
oric, or able thought, we are quick to
criticise their short comings. But
rarely do we appreciate the defects of
poor church music. Time, style, char
acter, suitableness, melody and har-
mony, may all be ignored in this mat
ter, and elicit nought but simple re-
gret. Now we regard bad time in sa-
cred music as mbecoming as bad
grammar in the pastor. And the con-
gregation, collectively, should be as
solicitous to overcome, the one, as they
are to have the other surmounted in
dividually. E.
BUTT occurred to us that congrega.
tional music would never become what
it ought to be, until congregations meet
together expressly to learn to sing to-
gether. Z
