A Buffalo Concert.

We have the following account of a
musical effort, and what came of THE
McDoodle Club of the Old Guard for
Februaryi
A year or two since the Handel and
Hayden Musical Association treated the
city of Buffalo, to the OratOriO of 1.-THE
Judgment" They laid themselves out
extensively. They had an orchestra of
a hundred, and trained choir of as
many more, which for a place only a
generation or so out of the forest was do
ing pretty well. They hadn't any can
non to emphasize the chorus, and I be-
lieve there were no gOngs or anvils, and
to give a startling effect, it was arrang-
ed that the rendition in the chorus of
the words: ''The trump shall sound,U
was to be followed by deep silence, to
be broken only by a fearful blast of the
trumpet, from a musician placed in the
cellar of the church. The effect expect
ed to be produced would, of course, be
prodigious. Well, the night came, and
the musicians and the audience, 1t was
a very fair rendition. The church was
filled with very devOut and attentive
listeners, who, as the grand words and
music of Luther's Judgment Hymn
pealed through the LOFTY apartment, !
were visibly effected. The trumpet
business was to be done to an audience
prepared to receive an impression. Re
cOrder HOughtOn, a well known LAWYER
of Buffalo, and also well known for his I
fine tenor voice, was president and con-
ductor, and engineered the thing snlen- |
didly-gOing through the motions with /
his baton after the manner of an Ans |
chutz or a Meretzek. The cue was Civ /
en- to the trumpter belOw-f'the trump |
shall sOundp-and then a sudden solemn |
and thrilling pause. At that moment a |
gang Of canal boatmen, who he'd stop /
ped outside TO hear the music, astOnish-
ed at the silence, pressed still farther
into the vestibule, in order to discover,
if possible, the cause of this lull in the
storm. At this instant there
came in, in a mufiled way, through the
door, faint "Twa-ah-ah twa-an-tarl
twa-an-hg-ah ~ One of the hardy sail.
ors of the inland deep clapped both
hands together, and yelled out loud
enough to be heard in the church: BY
Jingo, Bill that's the Betsey Ann COM
in into BOWlers Dock. I'd know that
toot horn anywhere 'tWixt here al Alba
ny" The effect was slightly spoiled,
| don't think they repeated that orator
10, or, if they did, Pm quite sure they
didn't have GabFleps horn in the cellar.

A Eanke Trick.

ONE OF the peculiar, slOb-sided, gaunt
Yankees lately emigrated and settled
down in the West. He was the picture
Of a mean man, but as he put himself to
work in good earnest to get his house 10
rights, the neighbOrs lent him a hand
After he had got everything fixed TO his
notion, a thought struck him he had no
chickens, and he was powerfully fond of
sucking raw eggs. He was too honest
to steal them, and too mean teauv them.
AT last a thougbtys.euoE him-he could
borrow, H9-+ont 20 a neighbOT and thus
accosted bim;
'Wals1 reckon you hain't got no old
hen 81 nOthin' you'd lend me for few
weelSs, have you. neighbOr%
4 will lend you one with pleasure re-
piled the gentleman, picking out the
finest In the coop.
The Yankee took the hen home, and
then went to another neighbOr and bOr,
rOWed dozen eggs. He then set tfe
hen, and in due course of time she hatcb-
ed out desen chickens.
Ihe Yankee was again puzzled; he
could return the hen, but how was he to
return the eggs2 Another idea-and
who ever saw q live Yankee without
one-he would keep the hen until she
had laid a dozen eggs.
This he did, and then returned the hen
and eggs to their respective owners, re-
as he did So
Wal, 1 reckon I've got as fine a dozen
of chickens as YOU ever laid your eyes
ON, and they didn't cost me cent nuth- .

A writer describes the present appear
ance of the place where languages got
mixed :-"After a ride of nine miles, we
were at the foot of the Bier-Nimrod.
Our horses feet were trampIing upon
the remains of bricks which showed
here and there through the accumulated
dust and rubbish Of ages. Before our
eyes UprOse a great mound of earth, bar
ren and bare. This was Bier-NimrOd
the ruins of the Tower of Babel, by
which the first builders of the earth had
vainly hoped to scale high heaven.
Here, also, it was that Nebuchadnezzar
built, for bricks barring his name have
been found in the ruins. At the top of
the mound a great mass of bTick-pierces
the accumulated soil. With your fingers
you touch the very bricks-large, square
shaped and massive-that were thor
OUghly burned, the very mortar, now
hard as granite, handled more than 1000
years ago by earth's impiOus people.
From the summit of the mound, far
away over the plain, we see glistening
the gilded dome of a mosque, rejecting
the bright rays of the morning sun.
This was the tomb Of the holy Ali. To
pray before this at some period Of his
life; to kiss the sacred dust of the earth
around there at some time or other; to
bend his tOdy and count his beads, is
the daily desire of every devOut Mo-
hamedan.

The Devn's titles.

HIS Satanic Majesty has had many
titles. The Egyptians called him TyphOn;
the Greeks, Titan; the PeTsians, OhrO-
maze. The Scotch have given him sever
al names. AUD COOtie, which is suppOs-
ed to allude to his clOven foot. They also
called him the tAUld Ane,' (the Old One
and still another Scottish appellatiOn for
him Is Aud HOrnie,' which Is based on
the popular belief that his Satanic Ma
jesty is supplied with horns. According
to learned German theologian, there
are a, 425, $50 devils, The usual German
eXpletive is ten thousand tUyfele,' but
the calculation renders it used up eX-
clamatiOn. Our ancestors firmly believ-
ed that it was possible for person to be
possessed by a devil.
For thousands of years, indeed hU-
manity has held this creed, or this su-
perstition nor, in the face Of the many
instances of demOniacal possessions re-
corded in the scripture. can we refuse
without impiety to credit the stories of
men, women and children who had dew
lis which have been miraculOusly cast
out The good men who translated the
Bible into the English tongue were the
contemporaries of the WitchfindeTs. The
king to whom they dedicated their grand
labor had himself written a pOnderOus
treatise against witchcraft. They came
from their task, their brains heated by
Oriental imagery, and unable, perhaps,
to draw lofty allegOry and naked fact,
to detect the supernatural in every re-
latiOn of social life, and 50 finddevils
everywhere.
The old fiend of the Medical legends
the Gothic devils with horn and hoOfs,
saucer eyes and a tail-was resuscitated
in the bright morning Of the Protestant
Reformation. From the accession of
James until the end of the reign of the
Second Charles, the State Trials TEEN
with the records of deviltry.
In Sweden the children were plagued
with the evil one. who was regularly eX-
Orcised out of whole troops of urchins
every Sunday morning at the Church
door by means of a birch rod. And the
devil even crossed the Atlantic and
caught hold of people in Virginia, and
the washer women and cooks of Salem
and other parts of New England.
The Imagination of the Chinese has in
vented no less than ten devils and hells.
One presides over a hell stuck full of
knives, another tank filled with boil
ing water; a third is a hell of ice; in an
other the punishment is pulling out the
tongues of those who tell lies; another
hell of poisonous seTpents; in another the
victim is drawn to pieces; another is
hell of blackness and darkness, and in
praying they say, MAY I not fall into
the hell of swords ~ and into this OF that
place of torment.

ABOUT THE HOUSE,

DURING the winter months there is on.
portunity to look about for the purpose
Of making house improvements. Farm
ers are very apt to overlook in the sea-
son of leisure those things which present
themselves unfavOrably duringthe spring
and summer. While the leaves are of
the trees, and the earth is covered with
SNOW, shattered fence, broken gate and
vacant plot around the doOT-yard, where
trees, of either fruit or ornament, should
be growing, do not bear the unsightly
appearance they do when the earth has
on her robes Of rejoicing.
Forest trees may be moved in winter
and reset with almost positive assurance
of their living, and, in fact, almost any
tree may be transported any time from
the falling of the leaves until they aD-
pear again. There is little more labor
required to transfer trees in winter while
the ground is frozen than at other times,
but when the difference in the value of
time is compared with that of fall or
spring. 1t will be found economy to do
some winter planting at least. Another
gain is in doing a necessary work that If
neglected at this time will 90 undone.
Wherever it is practicable remove all
collections around the prem
ises. Nothing can be worse than n con-
tracted dOOT-yard and huddle of small
shantg buildings around the house. A
lawn well laid out, with here and there
a cluster of trees, should be considered
indispensable to the farm house. We
would not counsel a too rigid adherence
to straight lines md right angles, for in
these matters, as well as I'm many others,
Nature is the best instructor, and her
instructions should not be Gisregarded.
No one can fail to see that a purchaser
would give more for q farm where taste
has been displayed around the house
and out-buildings, than for one equal in

a Peep Re6Ind DC seenes.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York World says;
Among the lobby women last winter
was the daughter of a present United
States Senator, whose father years ago
refused to let her marry the man of her
choice. She elOped with him; he de-
ceived her by mock marriage, he hav-
ing two other wives, sO-called, living
He took all her jewels, and even most
of her clothing, and abandoned her. She
went to the bad headlOng, refused all
Overtures to return home, and the faith
er and daughter used to pass one anOth-
er in the Capital year ago-she a wan
ton and he a SenatOr-and never speak.
Nor did either betray the event to any
one. He called her dead she consented
to be dead even to him.
Another Senator's wife, who is an in
valid, cannot be unaware, for no one
else is, that her husband has stocked no
less than six of his mistresses on the civil
service as clerks, and that he adds to the
number every session. 1t will be inter
esting to note how he votes on Mr.. CTa-
gins anti-MOrmon bill
Another Senator, a Southwest carpet
Dagger, fOisted his mistress on the Treas
Ury Department last year, and was in
fuential enough to have her salary con-
tinued while he sent her to New York
to undergo an abortion. She died. The
Senator himself drew the arrears of
pay Ostensibly for the mother of the muir
dered woman, who has yet to see the
first cent of it.
Another honorable, this time of the
House, was driven out of a leading hO-
tel six. years ago for notorious conduct
with a married woman, and that with
the consent of her husband. That hUs-
band is now clerk of that COngTessman's
committee, his wife is the COngressman's
mistress, and her son is q page on the
floor of the House, and waits on his mu-
tual fathers every day.

WHOLE NUMBER 40.
Human Longevity.

What is the natural duration of man
How long shall we enjoy this stage Of
action? Wherever the human heart
palpitates, the question is reiterated,
how soon must / render up this tene-
ment of clay2 Diligent research, OBJ
servatiOn and scientific Investigation
have thrown much light on this subject.
Florence, Hufiand, Walker, and others
have shown that animals, and even
some plants, live on the average about
five times the time required to mature
them. For example, the horse natures
at about five years, and his average
duration of life is about twenty-five; the
OK natures at three and lives about IF
teen; the sheep at two, and lives about
eight; the camel natures at eight, the
average duration is about forty years.
So if you would ascertain the average
life of any animal observe the time re-
qUired to mature them, then multiply
that time by five, and you hove the
| time of its pFOpable length of davs de-
signed by nature. This method Of cal
culating the longevity Of animals ap-
prOXimates the truth nearer than any
other that has ever been adopted. Con-
ditiOns and surroundings have much to
do with the longevity of animals as well
short lived, owing the kind of treatment
they receive. The animal is said to be
matured when the bones cease Il. grow
in length or hight. Now If this course
of reasoning is correct, then man is
centenarian, for it requires about twen-
ty years on the average, to mature him;
multiplied by five would give him an
average duration of one hundred years.
Many reach this age, but niue-tenths Of
the human family die before they reach
half that time; and why? look around,
watch and study, and you viii find a
hundred and more causes to cut short
expectation of life. Much suffering,
early and untimely death, might be
avoided, if a man took as much interest
in his own bodily welfare, as he does in
other things of much less Importance

acres, location, &C., where no attention
has been paid to these things. But,
aside from all paeuniary considerations
many reasons are apparent to every in
telligent person why this work of house
establishment should be done. 1t rem
ders home and whatever of pleasuTable
thoughts, and a sanctuary Of hallOwed
association; this is an inducement sutti-
GENTLY powerful to lead all thoughtful
people to endeavOr so render every ap-
pearance in accordance with good taste.
a love of the beautiful is a powerful
element of improvement, as well as a
prompter of the social virtues. Surround
the the young with things of taste, and
their minds while in the propose OF de
velopment become elevated purified,
and harmOnized, while their better af-
fectiOns become more and more con-
formed to the high standard Of eXcell-
ence and confirmed in noble resolutions.
No just estimate can be formed Of the
value of a love of home; and it is diff
cult to conceive how an admirer Of the
beautiful, if of ever so moderate capaci-
ty, can feel strongly attached to a home
where the genius of dilapidatiOn pre-
sides.-OhjO Farmer.

Household artists.

Rich New Workers are badly of if we
may believe a correspondent. They
have money, but are Obliged to hire a
man to tell them how to spend it proper
ly both in life and death. Consequent
ly there has arisen there a class of fartists
whose business is to furnish houses for
those who have more money than they
have taste. As Brown, of Grace church
manages weddings and arEanges gOr-
geOus funerals, so these artists are en-
plOyed to arrange the dwellings of the
upper ten. A gentleman buys his house
He looks round for a first class artist
who is in as much demand in the season
as the court hair dresseTs are in the sea-
son of the queens Ieyees. The house is
placed in his hands, with an unlimited
amount Of money, and he is ordered to
make it more elegant and tasteful than
any other. He orders the carpet, fur
niture, curtains and pictures, and arran-
ges them to suit his own taste.
The present style is very. gorgeous.
Often the main column of the balusters
is gilded, and decorations of the most
brilliant character are introduced. If
the artist chooses to send abroad for the
furniture, he does so. These men have
the decoration of houses for funerals.
Ball rooms and saloons for fashionable
gatherings are not adorned with more
care than are the parlors of the wealthy
for a funeral. The position of the coffin,
the style Of the oasket, the arrangement
of the furniture, the closing of shutters
and curtains, the amount Of gaslight
thrown into a room, the place assigned
the mOurners, and the position of the
dra peries, are subjects Of consultation,
and often Of rehearsal. On entering a
room, parties wellpOsted can tell what
artist has had the arrangement of affairs,
as well as the works of the great mas
ters are known. In some cases women
have their burial suits selected, fitted.
and made by distinguished artists du-
ring their life time, that they may be
sure that in death nothing was omitted. ]
