RehnYinr in Church..

We may classify the petty incivilities Of
church life thus:
l.. SMELLs.-Violent perfumes, especial
ly those containing musk, are disagreeable
to most persons, and TO some positively
distressing. There is no smell so univer-
sally pleasing as no smell. Never scent
yourself when going into a crowded assem-
bly,. The same is true OF the residuaTy
NELL of tobacco which hangs about the
garments and aflicts the breath Of those
who habitually smoke. But tobacco almost
invariably makes men sel~f-induigent and
regardless of others convenience. More
brutal yet are they who go 10 church reek.
ing. like q Dutchman's soup, with the
smell of onions. There are scores Of peo,
pie who have lost all profit of a Sunday SER
vice by the sickening smells which sur
rounded them.
2. SoUSDs. Whispering in church dur.
ing the service is an afiront 10 politeness,
Much Of the coughing which goes on in
church arises from the poisonous gases and
personal efiuyia which exist in unventil
lated churches. But the power Of the viii
over the muscles which do the coughing il
very great. A needless person will cougl
twice as much as is neediul-will cough a
the worst time possible, will cough plum
upon tho hecks OF those DetOfe MIN, IN
stead Of embalming the sound in his hand
kerchief as, with a little skill and polite
ness, he might easily do. We would no
forbid men who cannot sing to "make
joyful noise"-but it should be q softl,
noise. In all cases when it is a man'sdut,
TO sleep in church, it is his duty also L
snore with the soft pedal down.
3. SIGHT. Every one likes TO see thu
minister. 1t cannot be done through you
body. True, yon cannot help being befor
somebody, unless you are on the back seat
But, with n little thought, you may ver,
much help those behind you. Any conduc

from the service, such AS ostentatious play

The Mason Il HAMLIN ORGAN Con-
the course of less than twenty years this
Company have grown from a very small be-
ginning, TO be thu most celebrated and ex-
~tensive makers of instruments Of the Organ
and Melodeon kind in the world, produce
ing and finding demand for several times as
many instruments as any other makers.
-Four large elephant tusks must be cut up
every week TO supply them with ivory for
keys; so they must be said to consume two
large elephants per week. Their Organs
rank highest, not only in this country. but
also in Europe, where the demand for them
is rapidly increasing,
This remarkable success is undoubtedly
owing greatly to their superior skill in this
speciality and to the very important Inn
provements they have effected in this class
of instruments; but it is the result, almost
in equal measure, perhaps, of adherence
to, and energetic pursuits Of certain prin-
ciples. Infiexible rules with them are ~
to do the gerry best Dorb only, awaiting them
selves Of every improvement, ana being
careful TO suffer no inferior instrument to
leave their factory; and (2) 10 sell always
at smallest TemunerRtive profits, having
Fixed prices which are alike to all.
Any N buying an Organ made by this
Company has the satisfaction OF knowing
that he has one of the best instruments of
the class which can be made, and this at
the lowest price at which such work can be
afforded.

If OUR friends will use preparations for
