WyG,-judss wyiis on Monday granted writ
AZ Io5<o, eayry, mon J. Reynolds, requiring
him TO bring into cours bis daughter, Mary 8.
Reynolds, . child OF seven o. eight years Of ags'
Il was alleged By her grandmother (Mrs aood-
heart) that the father had stolen the child rom
her. The writ was executed yesterday morning,
and thu child produced during the sitting OIL inc
special term.
Mr.. FendnlI, who appeared for the grsnc
mother, said that Mr.. Reynolds, on the death Of
his wife, had agreed to place the child 10 charge
Of its grandmother, and had done so. The emo
had remained with its grandmother ever since,
and the utmost affection existed between them
A few days since the father took OF the child BY
force, and stu had It In possession. II was
hard case for the chNd aud Its grand. psfent.
Mr.. Reynolds admitted that with much ro'
luctance he had promised his wife on her dying
bed to allow the grandmother to have the child,
but said that, at that time, the grandmother
had refused to take the charge and therefore that
he did not think his promise binding.
The Court said II would dispose Of the case
tomorrow. In the meanwhile the Marshal
might leave the child in charge Of some discreet
person.
Mr.. MattingIy hoped the grandmother would
be allowed to have 1t until tomorrow. She
would then produce II In court.
Mr.. Reynolds demurred
The Court Where is the child
Mr.. Reynolds Lifting up a little girl, SO
that she could DO SEEM Here she is, sir.
The Court. Do you want to 60 with your
father or your grandmother
Child, lin q low tone.) Yes, sir.
Court What did she say
Mr.. R. She says she wants 10 go with her
father. Laughter.
The Court. Where is the grandmother
A very respectable.looking old lady was
brought 10. and by the Courts direction the
child was placed midway between her father and
grandmother and given her choice
The little ono stood awhile irresolute, but
finally went to her grandmother, to whom &C.
cordingly was awarded her custody until the re-
sumption Of tho case this morning.

MusIc.-The following, written by Mr..
J. P. spanisr, of Heads band, and published
sometime since, is really very expressive ana
beautiful, and we reproduce 1t:
There is something very wonderful In music.
Words arc wonderful enough but music Is even
more wonderful. It speaks not to our thoughts,
as words do; It speaks straight to our hearts and
spirits-to the very core and root Of our souls.
Music soothes US, and stirs US upi 1t puts noble
feelings into us; 1t melts US to tears, we know
not how IL 10 a language by itself, Just as per.
feet in its speech as words, just as divine Just
as beloved"
