THE ORUANGsT's DUTY IN THE SAKCTU
ARY.-Whethcr proiessed Christians OIL
not, believe the organists first duty i,
to consider his playing and all his act,
in the sanctuary, as worship. To enter
the place for personal display; 10 show
what skill is in feet and fingers; 10 ex
hibit his knowledge in the art OF regis
tration; tosImply earn some money, OF
have fine entertainment, is all false anI
wrong. hold that no person, believer
or inidel, Christian or heather, has any
right TO step foot inside church door
without full sense OF the sacrcdness oil
the place. On the Sabbath day or any
worshipful occasion the organ should
simply guide and sustain the service OF
the Sanctuary. That is: il should not
festival days, perhaps, excepted-become
prominent or aggressive, nor should the
organist during the service seek to dis
play either the instrument or himself.
Let the service prelude, except on iestal
days, be always Of quiet and meditatiyc
character, or of solid, noble and lignilied
harmony; rarely, il ever, employing
more than the fundamental registers Of
the organ. In he anthems and other pieces
for the choir, let the organ simply and
tully sustain the voices, and never at
any time be played 80 as TO render the
voices obscure or the words unintelligi.
BILE. When played for the congregation,
AS it always should be at least once in
every service,-let it give full, deep,
grand undertOne which shall sustain and
uplift all who may care to Join in the
grandesL and noblest Of all praise. After
the benediction, let there be short aud
quiet response which shall Gttingly close
the service. Then believe the time has
come for the organ to speak us only this
king OF inStruments can speak. Save on
occasions Of morning or sorrow, let il
speak forth the everlasting beauty and
power Of music, and the unspeakable
goodness and glory OF the Infinite Father
Is there anything beautiful in the organ
let it speak OF infinite beauty. Is there
anything grand in the instrument, let il
speak Of the grandeur Of the universe
the goodness and greatness Of Gods in.

For this and this alone should the organ.

AN unplessantnCa seems 10 hay
sprung up between the Speaker Of th
House Of Delegates and the Sheriff o
Ohio county. We understand that III,
latter was refused admission to the Zoo

stand further that the Speaker expresset
the opinion Wednesday night, in yer,
vigorous Language, that the Sheriff waa
a ''leader Of the mob in the gallery,
and also that he was otherwise very OBJ
jectionable sort Of a person.
We are not posted as to exactly how this
caSua belli arose between these two Off.
GERS, but il occurs 10 us that II may have
been owing to the fact that the SHERIFF. did
moi 20 up to the gallery when requested
by the Speaker and clear It's occupants
from their seats; but stood on the floor
Of the House, in front OF the Speaker
and addressed the gallery at long range
simply appealing to the spectators therein
to retire under the order OF the chair.
This peaceful method OF dispensing the
"mob" had the desired effect, and we do
not see how it could possibly become "a
cause OF otlense to the Speaker. The
gallery retired with cheers for Tingle,
which was natural outburst under the
circumstances, and Objectionable as it
was, Us matter Of decorum, it was
preferable to scene of forcible expul.

lrmnst be easily apparent to all local i.
tiles in West Virginia that ever expect in
the future to compete for the location Of
the Capital, that their true interest is to
leave il temporarily located, as it is now
for some years to come, until such time
as the opening up Of railroads and other
developments shall point out the true
and accessible spot where it ought to be
permanently located. Once the Capital
is permanently located under contract, AZ
provided for in the bill before the House
then the matter Of future eligi
llity is practically cut of for.
ever, notwithstanding the dernier re
sorts, such as Constitutional amend
ments &C., contained in the bill. Those
who are now pressing the question o.
permanent location have no idea of any
future change. They expect Charleston
to be The permanent seat.
