Poor Organs.

The following from the Nc1C York
Christian AdUocdte, written by its editor
in chief DR.. Currie, some years since, is
yet more true to-day than when it was
written; as the popularity of the instru-
ment has extended, the number OF in
competent makers has increased. There
are now few articles in reference to
which the public is more deceived and
imposed upon than in paTlor or cottage
organs This is attestcd by the thou
sands of such instruments now standing
utterly useless, all over the country,
which are but few months or years old:
CABINET OR PARLOR ORGANs.-As
usual in such cases, the new and large
demand for these instruments has in
duced a great number of persons to Gu
gagged in their some of whom
arc quite unequal to the business they
have undertaken. 1t requires some
thing more than mechanical skill of the
artifcer in wood and iron to make and
prepare for Use a musical instrument and
vet some have brought nothing else to
their aid in the business. The result Is
that the country is becoming filled with
inferior and defective instruments. Large
sums of money are expended for value
less articles, and the people are defrauded
of their needed musical education. The
evil is intensified by the fact that these
inferior instruments are, on account of
their inferiOrity, most indUstTiOusly
urged upon the public. Because they
cannot compete with better ones in the
open market, they are pressed upon the
public by direct solicitations; and be-
cause they offer larger commissions, they
are those most commonly offered by
agents and hawked by Peddlers. And
as most purchasers are unable to judge
of the relative merits of these things, the
inferior articles are often bought when
better ones are desired, and would be
cheerfully paid for.
Induced by these considerations, we
have been at some pains to ascertain
what instrument of the many now so
Letting the public favor combines the
greatest amount of real excellencies. We
have prosecuted this inquiry entirely
independently Of aid or direction from
interested parties. The opinions of some
of the best musical critics, composers,
and performers have been obtained re-
ports of experiments made in the Ordi-
nary use of various instruments in
churches, schools, and families have been
compared, all of which with singular
unanimity concur in assigning the first
place to the Cabinet Organ of Mason 4
Hamlin-a decision that corresponds
with our own previously formed convic-
tions. We have written
these things without solicitation from
any one, and without the knowledge OF
those whose pecuniary interests we may
seem to favor. The interest of our
readers is the object w have sought
especially to promote, and in that inter
est we have prosecuted our inquiries,
and now we record our convictions.-N
