4 Grand Orga~.-A new organ for the
ancient etliiice of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of St. Mary, in this place, has just
l,ean completed, and erected by Mr.. John
Roberts, of Frankfort, Philadelphia city.
This instrument contains one full rank of
KEYS, from C C to in alt, being and
9-12 octaves compass, or iifty-six notes.
All the foregoing are enclosed by Swell,
and controlled by q Swell Pedal, also by
Forte Combination Pedal, and Piano
Combination Pedal, which control all the
ranges of Stops and Pipes. The tone of
the organ is full, rich, and of pleasant
board is quite light, and very agreeable.
Prof. Roberts, the builder, remained for
the worship of last Sunday afternoon, to
perform ON the organ. There were great
many persons present to see and hear the
instrument, on this occasion of its debut
Beautiful AutuBan.-There may be a
certain sense i'll which these days are the
'saddest of the year." but surely in many
respects the Autumn months are the
rrandest and most brilliant of the quadrate
season. This is the rich time when ample
gamers are generally furnished with the
grains, for our sure bread, and the ready
measures are pressed down with the luscious
fruit that clustered on bending boughs and
vines. The flowers! The sky! Is there
anything comparable in beauty to the gor
geous coloring of earth and sky, by the
skilled workmanship of this crowned
prince of limners. The gaudy dahlias, the
many-hued chrysanthemums, and numer
GUS other gay gems in Autumn's coronal,
present abundant justification for the claim
we make in behalf of this glorious season
of the year. Then the ''blue and gold' in
which the inimitable sunsets are folded,
far surpass the much-praised volumes of
human binding. Raphael may bear away
the palm, till this mighty Painter comes in
connection, and holds undisputed sway in
the privileged realm of beauty. If these
be the creatures, what undisputable claims
the great creator has ON our love and ador-
alton! We are only really benefited by
nature, when we wisely permit natures
God to beautify and adorn our lives with
the superhuman graces of this spirit!

pious women of the Methodist Episcopal

refrain from defiling the house of God with
tobacco spittle, &c.

Ansusements-T Good Templars OF
