ANCIENT MUSIC.

In TIA, the Rev. John Tufts OF
Newburg, published small work on
music, entitled "A very plain and
easy introduction to the art of sing
ing psalm tunes, with cantus or treb-
les of % psalm tunes, contrived in
such a manner as that the learner
may attain the skill of singing them
with the greatest ease and speed i'm
aginable. Price sixpence, or five
shillings Dozen"
Small as this book was, 1t was
great novelty, it being the FIRST pub
LEGATION of the kind in New England,
If not in America. As late back as
100 there we're not more than four
or five tunes known in many Of the
congregations in this country, and
in some not more than two or three !;
and these were sung altogether by
note. These tunes were York, Hack
ney, st. Mary's. Windsor and Mar
tyr's. To publish at this time book
on music containing the enormous
number Of twenty-eight tunes, was
daring innovation on the old, time
honored customs of the country; and
the attempt to teach singing by note
thus commenced by Mr.. Tufts, was
most strenuously resisted for some
years by that large class Of persons
everywhere to be found, who believe
that an old error is better than
new truth.
In this respect the German Luth-
earns were in advance, for they
brought their time-honored, Of which
they have many, With them from the
fatherland some Of these tunes date
back to the reformation.

THE PAGES OF THE PAST.

The shadows of the chestnut trees
Grow longer now, and dim,
As to their waving boughs the breeze
Whispers a yesper hymn.
Night slowly shrolds tt sleeping land,
But, in the twiiight's gloam.
After long years again I stand
Before nv childhood's home.
Not much is changed; the stream yet flows
With babbling mirth along,
The hearth within the cottage CLOVIS
hear the very song
My mother sang, but well know
That voice, though sweet and clear,
Comes not from lips that long ago,
Were closed forever here.
oh, Book of life, again unfold
Your chapters of the past
Those pages that turned of old
So heedlessly and fast
know if could fondly look
Upon those lines once more,
| should not seek TO close the book
As quickly as of yore.
Familiar scenes the fading
Shows, all unaltered still;
Butt am changed; my heart tonight
Beats not with boyhood's thrill.
Success has come, my toll is done,
But l would gladly give
Ten years of manhood's life for one,
Such as used to live,

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with a breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about IS large as a silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blsters The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptionS seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. / concluded
to try the CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and bought
a box of CUTIcgRA, a cake of CUTICURA SOAP,
anda bottle of CUTIctiRA REsoLvENT. Iwashed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to rritate the flesh, and applied
CUTIcURA. noticed change for the better in
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four
hours. continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaking
out since. gave the child only a few doses of
the CUTIcURA REsoLvENT. l consider your
CUTIcURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
to keep small supply constantly on hand. l
believe CUTICURA would be excellent for apply
ing to insect bites, which are very annoying in
this country. C. A. ARMSTRONG;,

THE EPISCOPAL WIG.

Bishop Bloomfield attempted to
persuade King George Nv OF Eng
land to dispense with wigs on the
heads of bishops. But the king was
conservative and would not permit
the discontinuance OF the episcopal
wig, and in fact it was not done
away with until the time OF William
", when the abolition of this trou.
blesome clerical environment was
brought about by Sir George Sim
clair, the intimate friend of King
William. Sir George was staying
with the King when on a visit to DR..
Bloomfield after his elevation to the
bishopric Of London. He asked the
bishop whether he could deliver any
message from him to the king. The
bishop jocularly replied "You may
say to the king that at this tropical
season | find my episcopal wig a
serious incumbrance, and I could
wish that he would not consider me
guilty of breach of court etiquette
if induced to lay it aside" Sir
George delivered the message at
dinner for the amusement of the
king, who however, took it up SER
iously, and replied: "Tell the bish-
OPP he is not to wear the wig on my
account, / dislike it as much as he
does, and should be glad to see the
whole bench wear their own hair"
Bishop Bloomfield took the hint, other
bishops followed his example, and so
the wig was discontinued.
