TIE APOLLO CLUB AND THE MESSIAH.
The Apollo Club will give their fourth and last
concert OF the scason next Thursday evening, June
s. On which occasion they will appear in full force
with fine orchestra and soloists in Handels
a'Messiah." The soloists will be Miss Fanny
Kellogg, SOPRANO; Mrs. William Hayden, con-
tralto; Mr.. William Courtney, tenor: and Mr.
Myron ". Whitney, basso. There are many rea-
sons why this concert should be looked toward to
with great interest By musical people. It will be
the first complete performance Of this grand ora
torio given here since the great fire. It was given
twice hy the Choral Union, under the direction Of
Prof. But1erdeld, with home talent in the solos
and with small orchestra, but the work was cut
considerably and the chorus was not large. Two
years later it was given again twice, under Mr.
Blackmans direction, but with only organ accom-
paniment. No complete performance O; it has
been given here since that OF the ora1orio Society
in Farwell Hall, Jan. u. 1871, when the solos
were given by Christine Nilsson, Mrs. Imogena
Brown, Cary, Bischof, aud Whitney, under Mr..
Balatka's direction. The present performance
promises better than anything OF the kind we have
ever had here.
1t is safe to say that there are few better cho-
ruses in America than the Apollo Club in its present
training its distinguishing exceIences lying in the
quality Of the tone, its prompt aud elastic attack,
and fine shading. Mr.. Tom1ins, like all Engltsh-
men. Is IN enthusiast on the subject Of Hzndel.

It was clad. aue2tcions morn,
For it was told. 80 child is boru.ss
The mother well remembers all,
Though you may not the scene recall;
And all traditions since declare
That you must surely have been there.
Twas then come bright, eifulgent star
Shone down from its blue depths afar.
Where then the cradIcd infans slept,
And eyermore its vict1s kept,
Till its own spirit interhIent
With infant soal which GOD Ind sent,
And from that cradle shoue alar
"A bright and an ctfulgeat t'staE."
Now eighteen years have passed away,
And star full -orbed shines bright today
Its course still upward we may trace
In beauty, brilliancy. and grace,
Where muititudes bow at its shrine,
And own gift almost divine.
The child Of then and now the same,
Who from the cradle stepped to fame
Whose magic voice the passions thrill,
And holds and swaYs all hearts at will
Whose artist finger sweeps the keys
OF all the souls deep mysteries
In characters most manifold
Her genius and her gifts are told;
Not one US chosen from the rcst-
In each her gifts appear the best.
God bless thee, Jessie many say
On this eighteenth auspictous day.
May many years be gwen yon,
With all thnt's noble, pure, and true;
And all your powers may you retain.
And all the wealth Of goodness snin;
And may your star more brightiy.shiua,

And ever IN ascendant rise
Till it shall shine beyond the skies.

SLEEP. HEROES, SLEEP!

Lat Oakwools Cemetery, on Decoration-Day.
the following poem was read BY Col. e. B. Comp
son, OF Whittier Post:l
SLEEP, HEROES, SLEEP!
Sleep heroes, sleep,
In your cold graves so dark and deep;
Sleep, while with hushed and solemn tread
We pause beside our solemn dead
Those valiant men who died that we
From cu5se q Slavery might De free
Those gallant braves fvh0 fought the fgh
OF Freedom with an arm OF might;
Fought when the SUMS first golden beam
Brightly tinged the laughing stream,
And touched the rugged mountains side,
Through wales aud meadows, fair and wide,
To distant oceans foaming tide:
When floods Of noonday'H scorching heat
Upon their aching heads did beat
The hot air burning meath their weary feet.
No wayering in the conflict Then
The brave commander cheers his men,:
''Oni on! my ooysi ere many hours
The battles DER; the yictory's ours;
Then from the summit Of yon mountain's hight
Our flag shall ware In the bright n6rnings lsghsl|'
And on they fought mill the eyen-timc,
Till in the heavens the stars began to shine;
They fought like tigers, and they won-
Another dark days WORK was done.
Ahl yes, that day of bloody strife
Had ended many hero's 1ife>
And silent now the caruon's roar,
The clash OF steel Is heard no more;
Instead, tho anguished, prayer!ul moan
or dying ones for friends and home.
Their shattered timns ali racked with pain,
With hut, parched lips, and feycred hrain,
They CRY TO Heaven for home again,
And sink among their comrades slain.
No wonder on this scene Of gloom
So sadly CLEANS the wan, pale moon;
Here, on this CHASTITY, sickenlng field,
Her friendly light dImly revealed
These veteran soldiers, cold in death,
Silent the heart and gone the heetins breath.
Sleep. heroes, sleep-your Nations strength and
pride;
Ye loved your country, and for her ye died.
Sleep. while your glorious banner waves
Proudly DER your hallowed graves.

And dsy :he eyes Of those who for ye weep.

Of rest,
And 1aureis stTew upon your loynl breast

The PoLrGAMY QUESTION SErrLED.--
AT last the legal status of the audacious
polygamis,s OF Utah is definitely deter
mined 10y the United States Supreme
Court, which yesterday rendered de-
cision involving the whole question Of
polygamy in the Territories The de-
cision OF the Utah Courts being against
the plaintiff. Reynolds, charged with
contracting a bigamous marriage, he
carried his case 10 ,he Supreme Court
on a writ of error. The opinion OF the
court was delivered by Chief Justice
Waite, and was TO the effect that the
plea set mp by the plaintiff of religious
conviction was not valid defense; that
Congress, in passing laws for Oh. sup.
preston OF polygamy IN Utah. exercised
a power belonging to it and vested In
il under the constitution. But for the
plea set up that such laws were m In.
reference with religions belief, aud
therefore unconstitutional, II would
seem strange that there should be any
doubt of the power oi Congress 10 leg
islate for the Territories, over which, as
national property, the government erer-
cises the right Of eminent domain.-
