Church Choir.
On a recent Lord's day morning the pastor of
a well known chore h enjojed the assistance of
another minister, and the two gentlemen occa
pled the pulpit together. The church hai re
centljr Indulged iu the luxury of a newonran.
With the new organ came the concomitant
necessity of a chorus chor. The two reverend
gentlemen, sitting on the pulpit sofa, await the
time tor the commencement of the religious
part of the exercises. Meantime the organist
does bis best at ihowlnir off the powers of the
Instrument at which he presides In a voluntary
per f 01 ma l ce, to drown the shuffling noise of In
coming feet, and to awaken sentiments of devo
Hon in the hearts of frue people to wham the
feet belong. This Instrumental effort is some
what varied in its stjle, and considerably
tedious, but, like all other earthly complications
of Joy and Borrow. It atlast slides to a conclusion,
or, rather, it dissolves itself into another variety
of musical exercise. The chorus choir rlaes to
Hs ftet for the purpose of commencing the
Voluntary 'rendering" of one of those extraor
dinary compositions with which every wor
shipper ami every preacher has so often been
annojed. They are evidently bent on doing the
best they kLO how, regardless ot consequences,
Mr. B(9ood, the heavy man oi the concern,
starts the thing with a choice selection of
growl, which appear to have their foundations
In the heels of his shoes, Gently at first, but
gradually more and more gruOly, docs Bas
soon's music roar itself out, now rising to the
level of his a'.oaiach, now again subsiding with
a sound like the dying muttering ot the thunder
Of a July gust, to the depth of his boots.
But touching as are Bassoon's solo growls,
the thought of allowing him to enjoy a
monopoly thereof is too fearful a thing for
tolerance. Mr. Faff, the tenor, must take up
the strain and push it on, some. A few notes of
your bett, Faff, if yoa please. Hark I Faff
and Bassoon are striving for the mastery. Fuff's
voice ia full and round a good way round.
Instead of enunciation distinctly what he meant
to sing, he seems to be singing or faying almost
everything else. He gobbles his words, and
tuffs his tooutb with them as if they were great
tot mas?ei of boarding house hash, with
Eristic and hair in it. His massive brow is
florid with the exertion, all the way to the
roots of his hair. His manly bosom heaves
and expands like the canvas of a full-rigged
an of war before a stiff breeze. See ! Bassoon
is catching it! It is a duet now. Fuff has
nearly demolished the singer of bass, and the
singer ot bass, in his turn, pants to wreak tho
deserved vengeance on the unscrupulous
tenor. Tbeir very hair seems ready to stand
on end with the excitement of the game,
out for the restraining influences of pomatum
and perspiration. Ine feminine portion of the
Chorus come to the rescue, determined that,
able-bodied as these big men are, they shall not
nave it all their own way. It is Fall's wire who
carries the heavy harden of sopranolng for the
party. Casting a genial look of sincere sympathy
on the partner of her joyj, her 8 arrows and her
singing, and a savage glimmer of the left eye at
Bassoon, whose head she seems about to take
off, she appears to be going to poor crude petro
leum on the turbulent flow of eong. She opens
the floodgates of her melody, almost sweeping
poor Full" aid Bassoon out of sight and out of
hearinv. For a moment, it is a solo so high a
style of solo as to make the congregation turn
their necks, to try to learn what la going on In
the choir gallery. And so, lol the solo ceases,
and the men join in, each one on his own book
again, and each striving for the mastery. Bus
soon is soou conquered, and for a few moments
the "united head" of the Fuff family have it to
themselves. They give it to each other in the
responsive sort,as the congregation presume they
do in the quiet of the Faff mansion. Bassoon
groans out from time to time as the contest
proceeds, something which sounds like "told
you so." But that isn't it. He is quoting
some expression from the Bible. The fact that
nobody is able to understtnd what it is, is none
of his business. What does he care whether
they understand it not ? They may understand
It or not, just as they like, eo they may. And
Bassoon and the Fulls have had their share of
doing the voluntary by themselves. The
feminine alto champion niutt be heard from.
Speak out, you needn't be afraid of anybody.
That's It. Let the music rattle on. Tuat
acidulous voice cuts the air like a hatchet. The
congregation below mentally liken it
unto the tomahawk in the strong right
hand of a healthy aborigine, nervously bran
dishing over their heads, or to a high March
wind, late at night gyrating rouud the tops of
chimneys -!io?e upper biicks are loose, and
through shutters whose bolts are unfastened,
with an occasional chorus in the distance by an
angry cat. Pity it is that Miss Seraphlna An-

equal to its sharpness, as might be the case if
he confined herself to alto entirely. When the
sitters in the peira heard the first blast of the
batchety voice they assured themselves that,
whatever might have been the difficulties under
-which they had labored in catching the drift of
what Bassoon and the Futfs were rendering,
here at least was a gol len edged opportunity to
: learn something of what was going on. Ere
long, Beraphina Angelica's first bit of solo ia

pews are gratified to catch something that
sounds like t-criplural truth, but are bewildered
in their further attempts to discover tho con.
text, and give it up as a hopeless job.
The work Is nearly done. Bassoon gathers
up his Etreugth, and with turgid veins
and countenance streaming with perspi
ration heaves up "0 Lord I" The Fuffs take
up the strain and renew the domestic contest
with despairing valor. The sharped-voiced

basis of nitric acid diluted to a palatable degree

tion back at each other, accompanied with a
few choice words, apparently from some part
of the Old Testament in the original
tongue. Then all the chorus singers join
in the general burst of the finality
of the "voluntary." Pressing luto the service all
their remaining strength, they all scream out
at the highest height and the lowest depth of
tbrir respective voices the ejaculation already
alluded to. It is enough evactly euough, and
there is no more. The music expires. Upper
crost, Bassoon, the Faffs and the chorus sub
tide into their seats, viclently fan themselves,
aDd wipe the flowing perspiration and pomatum
from their agitated brows. The organist, con
scious of having done great things whereof he
is glad, turns round in his seat to face the
wondering believers who, with twlted necks,
gaze upwards from the pews. The bellows
blower, safe in his retreat iu the cozy nook
behind the organ, shakes his cV, and makes
ugly mouths at the whole concern: at the com
mittee for buying so ponderous an instrument;
at the chorus choir, for making suck
an unintelligible racket with their
singing; at the organist for pulling out all
its stop-handles; and at the congregation for
patiently listening to it. And the gentlemen in
tbe pulpit, what part are they taking in the
musiculous entertainment?
The pastor leans over to his guest, the preacher
for the day, who has been earnestly llstenlug
and vainly striving to find out if anything was
being sung which was in anywise con
nected with the subject of his coming discourse,
and asks, "Wasn't that beautifully rendered?"'
The preacher lor the day makes answer, "I
couldn't understand it." " What was it?" To
which the pastor replies, " don'f know!" Is
this a fair illustration of the noise and blaster
usually made by many Bassoons and Fuffs who
mistake their calling, and leave the unhallowel
lacer and other concert saloons to lead and
direct "Church Choirs?" We think it is. What
say the public ? How long will the Christian
congregations submit to such nonsense, to use
no banner term ?

Kiace 1828 theCouirregatioua'ists have increased

Free Will Baptists 4'J por cent. Since 1850 tho
ConerepaltottaliKts have Increased between 18
and 1 per cent.; the Baptls's dec ined 1 pur
cent. In 18:i8 the members of the Cmgrega
tinnal churches outnumbered the Methodists by
422.
During 18C8 there were forty five home
missionaries on commission amoiifr the Congre
gational churches ot New Hampshire; twenty
of them but part of a year. Th-v labored with
lorty one churche s aud two other congrega
tions. These churches are very feeble, and
averaged le.s than forty members each. In
deed, they are aud have been for sixty years
growing weaker aud weaker. The reasou is
that the old settlements made on hills, rather
tban valleys, present little except the instinct
of home to tempt tbe young people to remain
in them. The emigrations tnr exceed the biitbs,
and the churches are left composed oi aged
members.

lloxborough. 1 he anniversary ot the Sunday
School Missionary Society connected with the
Boxborooph Church, was held on the evening of
February 22. Three of the representatives of
our missionary organizations were present
two of whom delivered brief addresses. Tne
offerings of the different classes amounted to
over $100. With the offering of each class, a
beautilul bouquet was handed to the Saperin
tendent. These, by the Assistant Superinten
dent, were so arranged on canvas as to assume,
as it by maalc, the form of a Gross, and then an
Anchor, the effect of which was .very pleasing
to tbe audience. The exercises throughout were
highly interesting, and reflect credit on the de
votion and eneigy of the pattor, and earnest
workers associated with him. Missions with
them is "a specialty," hence they are live men,
and have a live Sunday School.
EPISCOPAL.
A movement has begun in the Episcopal
branch of the Church to establish a missionary
organization distinct Iromthe official commit
tee ol the' Church," and on an evangelical basis.
Bishop Stevens administered Gou&raiation
at Tiinity Church on Sunday morning. Tne
services were largely attended, and a goodly
number were confirmed. One of the candidates
was ninety-four years of age and had to be
brought to the church in a carriage. The sight
of his ieeble and venerable form caased a
titling of tolemulty mingled with pleasure to
till the minds ot the wbole congregation. The
BUbop liimselt was moth atlecteJ, and seemed
to offer tbe usual prayer ot Confirmation with
deep feeling and earnestness.
The will ot the late Elizabeth Ludlow of
New York, which was admitted to probate a
few days ago, contains the following cnaritable
bequests:
To the General Episcopal Theological Semi
nary iu the city of New York, $ 25,000; for tho
pnrpote of founding a Professorship, to be
called the "( harlcs and Elizabe.h Ludlow Pro
fessorship;" also timber and the neceseary ex
penses Iu cutting and preparing the same, and
the expenses for completing the fltll called tbe
"Ludlew and WHlink Hall" of Stephen's College
at Annaudale, iu accordance with the plans
proposed.
Trinity CorporaMon, New York, it is said,
have recently voted $3000 for the improvement
of the grounds upon which tbe church stands.
Tbe money is to be ia vested la trees, shraos,
and flowers lor the cemetery, and in repairing
tbe more dilapidated ot the numerous monu
uieuU In which It abounds. Iu makiug this
announcement, we trust it may not be deemed
a newspaper imperiiner.ee to inquire when
"the venerable corporation" are going to vote a
few thousands for the erection of places of
worship, with hospitals, schools, etc., attached,
in that great spiritual wilderness the eastern
wni'ds of the city. There was a sort of promise
to do something of that kind a long while ago
r-o long that many of the parishioners are be-
gimng to wonder wuetner it wm ever oa iui
filled. It Is well lo make tbe ancient cemetery
at the head of Wall street "blossom like the
rose" but would H not be equally well to do
ic methlng, were it ever so little, to improve
sjiritually tbe waste places iu tin region to
which we allude ? We paue for a reply. pis
coahan. CATHOLIC.
The successful mission at St. Francis Cburch,
Fairmount, under the auspices of the Jes lit
Fathers, Maeuire of Georgetown, D. C. Fulton,
ot Boston, and Smith, of Frederick, wmch com
n fenced last week, has been contiuued daring
tbe present one, and attended throughout with
the most edllylug success. The masses in the
moruiug have had their large congregations of
devout worshippers, and the confessionals have
been well patronized. Tbe several devotions
duiing the different hours ot the day have like
vise proved most profitable ia character, but
tbe largest congregations were assembled at
tbe eveulug service, to listen to the words of
eloquence and wisdom emanating from the
zealous aud energetic clergymen, whose labors
ut d ruccesses nave become proverbial. Father
Waglnn, the pastor of t-t, Francis' has )utt
reason to conerVula'e himself on the success
i ending the Mission.
On next Sunday (to morrow) morn'.ng a
mission will commence in tbe Church of 8t
Philip Neri, Rev. N.Cantwell, pastor, under tbe
auspices of Kev. Father Hruarius, S. J., and
other co laborers of tbe Society ot Jesus. It
was to hsve commenced last Sunday, but was
postponed lr"m unavoidable causes. Arrange
mi nis will be made lo aflord all an opportunity
of approaching the sacraments and par
ticipating in tbe seveml interesting men
tations and exercises of the mission. Service
will be held each evening at half past seven
o'clrck, and a sermon preached by one of the
missionaries. Much spiritu il advaucement and
general good will doubtless betbe re.ultof their
zealous labors.
RELIGION IN WAIN.
One laborer writes "My little congregation
Is composed of intelligent n.en and many ladies,
v bo want to know tbe truth. I go to tbe clubs
and assemblies, hi d sneak to people about the
Gobi el as tbe loundation of liberty aud iude-.
pendence."
Another says: "Eight years aeo there wa a
Spanish shiug and a meaning silence when
matters of government aud religion came up.
Now the mas-es are eager In Inquiry, ready to
talk.'and everywhere conversing of changes
nccomplihhe), and yet to be completed.
"The mastes are ready aud eaeer for the word
of God. Give a tract to any one of a group of
men, and It will be read alund to all. This has
never previously been the case.
"One hundred thousand Bibles and Testa
ments could be sold at once In Spain, if here,
and of evangelical books and tracts twenty tons
would but commence tbe work.
"Riding up Ironi the station with a gentle
man ol culture and large information, I said:
'Are you to have a republic In Spain?' 'No,
tir,' Le replied, 'no, sir, we have five times too
much Ca'l.ohcisin for a successful republic.
We want Proto8tantim!' 'And education for
the children,' I added. 'Yes, and for their
mothers I' he emphatically contiuued. I men
tion this becau-e it Is a correct ludex of popular
feeling so far as 1 have been able to under
stand it.
"On January 15, In the midst of the elections
in Madrid, one ot the distributors, entering to
deposit his vote, was relieved of an armful of
tracts by president, magistrates, counsellors,
and officers, all early begging for 'a Protestant
tract.' The same day a military company was
drawn' up in line to receive eich a tract. A
little later another company sent to ask the
tame favor.
