one Of the fayorite melodies, to which hymns
are sung in our churches-no matter what
the sentiment may be, provided the petre
can be adapted to the melody. The impas-
stoned trio from Attila, "Te sol quest ami

than in its place in Verdi's powerful bar
barrie opera. We have heard well known
hymn sung to Gounod's charming ballad.

the daring pen of Meyerbeer has scored
Luthers' solemn choral ''Ein Festi Burg as
basso continue upon which to work up
drinking-song, by way of counter-theme, in
his ''Les Hugnenots.'' Gluck, who perhaps
considered the mu III talked of dramatic
unities" as profoundly as any composer,
made the experiment of selecting the finest
numbers from his works and arranging them
for new opera. Taken away from their
original associations, the situations for which
they were written, these airs and concerted
pieces no longer made an impression on the
public. Gluek was at once convinced of the
need of truth of musical Interpretation, and
the result was the production of his great
operas which in their beautiful pro portions
and unexaggerated dramatic force, resemble
the antique statues. We do not mean to
say that no operatic aria or ensemble may be
employed as church music: for instance, the
prayer from ''Der Freischutz'' is not diverted
from its original intent whether sung in
theatre, concert room, orchurch. The prayer
from "Mose in Egitto'' is that of trusting
people, and external surroundings make no
difference in it. But that the melodramatic
measures of Trordtore or the sweet senti-
mentalities Of SOnnambulG are not the ap-
propriate music for church service, is a point
which no one, we think, will dispute Fit
ness must ever be one of the first elements of
beauty.

ton to the most delicate and evanescent
shades of sentiment and thought, must be al
ways the art most thoroughly and intimately

This is another volume of the new edition
of Miss Kavanagh's novels, published by d.
Appleton & Co., New York. 1t resembles
the other works by the same author, in its
graceful style and spirited delineation of
character. The scene is laid in an old chat

from any resume Of the plot-not wishing to

SEPTDrIUs FELTON,; or the Elixir of Life.
By Nathaniel Hawthorne.
This work, which has been printed as a
serial, in the pages of the atlantic Monthly
is now published in book form by James r.
Osgood & Co. Miss Una Hawthorne has
edited the book, from manuscripts left among
the papers of her father, and the notes en-
closed in brackets are interesting indications
of his manner of composition. The scene
of the story is laid in New England, the tims
is that of the Revolution, but around the
familiar fields and woods of Lexington and
the quiet, prosaic life of the place and period,
mist of tragic fatalism. There is in nearly
all the writings of this remarkable author,
weird unhealthy influence, which at once at
tracts and repels. He loved to unveil the
darkest inmost motives, to speculate upon the
unknown, to suggest rather than define things
he
like the remembrance of strange dream.
His marvellous power over language, and the
almost unerring skill with which he fitted
words to ideas, his intuitive knowledge, of the
human mind, enabled him to produce these
vivid impressions.
''Septimius Felton, as it seems to us, by
no means equals in merit some of his other
writings, for instance the ''House Of the Seven
Cables" which iE its atmosphere of mould
and decay has yet occasional glimpses of sun
light and watts of fresh air, or the ''Marble
Faun" where the peculiar talent of Haw-
thorne accentuates so strongly the careless
earth-nature of the Faun, the darker human
passions of higher intelligences and the pow
erful charm of Rome. The m0tiue of ''Sep-
timius FELTON," is crimson fungus-fOw
growing out of grave. From this fearful
plant, Septimius compounds, as he thinks,
an elixir of life, but which proves a fatal
poison. Around the incidents of the story
is woven atissue of subtle theories, and
intangible fancies. We believe that such
a talent as was Hawthorne's should not
have been devoted to analyzing morbid phases
of humanity, to depicting world full of sad
| ghosts, of lives that are flowers growing out
| of graves; but he should by his insight have
understood and by his power of expression
| have interpreted the true, healthier and hap
! pier lives of which the world is full. For sale

The always fresh and irrepressible editor of
the Atlanta Weekly writes: This afternoon,
there was gentle knock at the door of our
office, and, in answer to our invitation to
come in, there entered youth of that nation
that popular usage has consented to denom-
mate the "eye-talian." He was about ten
years old, with great soft eyes and such
lovely face like the little cherubs in old paint
ings. We exhausted our vocabulary by re-
marking 'Buon giorno' which we learned last
winter, from the agent of an opera troupe.
You spik re Italian% enquired our young
friend. This was rather hard on us-if he
had asked, DO you speak English" it
would have been more complimentary to
our accent. We stated the case mildly,
when we answered Not much ), beside the
observation already quoted, we only know
'Ah, che la morte' and so t'adoro, which,
although excellent sentiments in their
way, didn't apply at the present crisis.
We had vague idea of initiating
the immortal Mrs. Plomish and breaking up
our English very small, in order that the
foreign mind might more readily assimilate
our ideas; but concluded on the whole to
speak very slowly with awful pauses between
the words, and in tone of voice calculated
for extreme cases of deafness. So we got on
very nicely indeed. We admired the little
Italians collection of plaster images, where
Apollo, little Samuel, Bismarck and lambs OF
rather hypothetical whiteness stood amicably
side by side. We invested in an impossible
but charming Arcadan Shepherdcss and gave
it to the sub-editor who considers it first
class work of art, we said 'Buon giomo' some
more, and our young italian went away smil-
ing so brightly that we didn't light the ga
till ten minutes to eight this evening"

THE CASE WELL STATED.-The Christian
Union, in speaking of the real issues of the
political campaign which are likely, in the
confusion, to be lost sight of, says, Shall the
Government surrender its power of protect
ing the colored people of the South or not?
The Greeley Democratic party favors the ''lel
alone'' policy. But has the time come to re-
linquish guardianship" 1T asks
Are there any signs that the spirit of brl-
tality among the lower class of whites, which
bore fruit in burned schoolhouses and beaten
and murdered men, has suddenly become ex-
tinguished? Political platforms do not ac-
eomplish such miraculous conversions as this.
If the negro needed the strong arm of the
Government to protect him year ago, he
has ceased to need it now. Fine phrases
about clasping hands over bloody chasms can
not at ouce secure peace and justice.
