MUSIC
IN TRS
SUNDAY scirooL.
Every superintendent and teacher knows the value of
music in the Sunday School. It is one of its chief
attractions and most protitabte exercises. If you would
have your Sunday School well attended, uttr.s as MUSIC
1171LACTITS. If you would have your Sunday School
efficient SS a means of good, MAKS DS MUSIC SYSIOSSIST.
Song has peculiar power to reach the heart and arouse
the feelings. All this is, in some measure at least,
understood and appreciated, and the problem, often a
difficult one, is bow to make the music what it should
be.
No one means is more important to this end than a
good accompanying instrument. However excellent
the leader may be, he needs an instrument to help him ;
and where the leader has not much confidence in him.
self, an accompanying instrument is of yet more im•
portance. Such an instrument will attract and interest
the children ; will induce them to try to sing, and render
it much easier for them to do RC). It will add vastly to
the impressiveness of the music; and, indeed, so great
is its value that no Sunday School which has enjoyed
the use of a good one will afterward be satisfied to do
without one.
A great ditificulty in the way of the general introduc
tion of accompanying instruments in Sunday Schools
has been the lack of those which were both desirable
and available. Such an instrutneut must have good
4uality of tone, for this is the first essential; it must
have great volume or power, because it should be
sufficient to guide and sustain—though not overpower
—a chorus of hundreds of voices; it must occupy little
space, because not many Sunday School rooms have
much to spare for such a purpose ; it must be durable,
not liable to get out of order or out of tune; and la.t—
not leash practically—it must be afThrded at a moderate
cost, for few Sunday Schools can afford to expend a
very large sum for an instrument. The melodeon has
failed, chiefly because it lacked power or volume of
tone; the various harmoniums, school organs, etc., have
had more power, but have been deficient in quality of
tone, and in other respects.
MASON. A HAMLIN, having long been extensively
engaged in the manufacture of Melodeons and Harmo•
niume—for which they have invariably taken the first
premiums at all industrial fairs and exhibitions—have
had constant evidence of the need of a better instru
ment, such as has been described, for Sunday Schools
and Churches, as well ae for private use. The expe
rience of this want led th em to the institution of many
experiments looking to such improvements, the first
important result of which was the introduction by them
of the Harmonium several years since.
This Instrument was an improvement upon the Me
lodeon In several respects. Aiming at still better
results, however, Mason & Hamlin continued their
experiments, and had the satisfaction, something more
than a year since, of introducing the
CABINET ORGAN,
an instrument similar in many respects to the Melo.
deon and Harmonium, but possessing several very im
portant improvements over these instruments and all
others of the general class.
The CABINET ORGAN is recommended with conh
dance as admirably suited in all respects to Sunday
Schools and Churches, as well as private use. Some
of its prominent excellences are its pare, round, organ•
like tone; its great volume of tone, adapting it to the
accompaniment oflarge numbers of voices; its capacity
for expression, arising chiefly from the AUTOMATIC
BELLOWS SWELL, a new invention of much more
practical value than any improvement made in such
instruments for many years; its compact form, its dura
bility, and quality of keeping in tune for years ; its
nicknese of action, adapting it to the performance of
Very rapid ramie, and Vs moderate cost.

•
Any one who eon ploy the piano or melodeon a little
east play the Cabinet Organ. Or, if in any school there
be no one who can already play, there will edit - Lost
always he found some one who can and will leans
enoagh in a very short time to aocompany well.
The pet_scia is a good time for the introduction of

two hundred such have given their written opinions
that they surpass all other instruments of their class in

Dear Sirs :—Having realized in my family important
benefits from the use of your valuable preparation—

to recommend it to the public. Some eight years ago
one of my daughters seemed to be in a decline, and
little hopes of her recovery were entertained. I then
procured a bottle of your excellent Balsam, and before
she had taken the whole of the contents of the bottle
there was a great improvement in her health. I have,
in my individual case made frequent use of your
valuable medicine, and have always been benefitted by
it. JACOB SECEDER.
From H. D. MARTIN, M. D.,

cheerfully recommend it to those afflicted with obsti

etc. 2 vols., erown,Bvo. 1330 pp., '
with steel portraits. Cloth extra, 88.
Fos -virus offers, perhaps, the best subject for biogra
phy to be found in the annals of America. His career as
a citizen, tradesman, philosopher, politician, statesman,
diplomatist and author, presents a variety of incident,
anecdote and history wholly without parallel. Yet, often
and ably as his biography has been attempted, there
cannot be said to have existed, heretofore, any really
satisfactory account of his life and times.
The course pursued by previous biographers has been
to give the fragments of autobiography. (written by
Franklin for the benefitof youth,) and append to them
a brief account of Franklin's public career. Mr. Parton,
on the contrary, by using the autobiography as material
only, is enabled to employ the great mass of in teresting
matter-relating to Franklin's early life, which is to be
found in the hooks, newspapers and correspondence of
the period. His later life also is fully related in these
volumes for the first time. Besides the stores of mate
rial collected in our historical libraries, Mr. Parton has
obtained much that is absolutely new, and much more
that will be new to all but those who have made the
times of Franklin an object of special research.
The publishers, who have been witnesses of the re
markable industry of the author, and the enthusiasm
with which he has pursued his labors, and who have the
best TOllBOllB for knowing the very high appreciation
which has been placed upon his previous writings b the
public, confidently believe that this work will be found
