With rare, exceptions,. the .American orator does not'at the outset put himself . en rapport with his audience, as people of average good sense and an inteltigentintereet in his 'subject, -to whom, he iaabont to talk 'because he boa • something,to say that is worth their • hearing: He begins by feeling aroundhls ' , audience for some point of eymptithypr,attack,asthe_case. may be; and" seidem: hisep consciousness either of himself or of his bearers by absorption' - in . his thane. theSe respects, American Oratory is intensely forced and mechanical. Father Hyacinthe, on the contrary, appeared before an audience of three thousand strangers in the quiet, easy way in which be converses in the parlor. , Hardly seeming to raise his voice above : this tone of .ordinary conversation, , he took up the word "apology," just dropped by the president in, introducing him—"et mot aussi, mesdames et messieurs, fat besoin &me excuse ;" and after two or three minutes of pleasant, animated conversation, he had an audience of Sympathizing listeners, to whom he could talk, if be chosW, with his band in his pocket—feeling Olathe had them there also. To be sure,- he had the reputation of agreat orator, and the favoring interest that attaches to his peculiar position ; but these put him to the disadvantage of having to realize every body's ideal of himself, 'and to disappoint a curiosity that prudence and delicacy forbade him to gratify. Yet speaking in an unaccus tomed place and dress, amid surroundings far from congenial to his clerical tastes, under a cruel hoarseness saying nothing of the. Pope and Council or of his own position and pros pects—he held the rapt attention of the assem bly; and received its enthusiastic response. What was the secret of this? His manlies t as we have said, is easy and natural—that of a cultiVated .gentlemen en gaged in earnest, animated conversation. A musical and flexible voice, possessing that pe culiar quality called sympathetic,at once charms the ear and excites the bearer to a pleasurable susceptibility independent of the words spoken; and the orator has so trained and cultivated 'this instilment:that though it. possesses no great compass, and Is incapable of deep and heavy notes, a mere inflexion will eive new force to a sentence, and a word or ,clause tit tered dintinuendO will seem to draw after it the soul of the hearer into the veryd epttis of the speakees 'awn Sells Dila magnetism he knows well how to ese, and the natural play of emo tions thfough thetonea and cadence of his voice is the very perfection of oratorical art. Father Hyacinthe uses this power to the .best advantage in those effective forms of sentence, the antithesis and the climax: : His sentences are transparently clear, and so Well constructed that every word is fitted to its place ; and wheit he advances from step to step in thought, until the sentence grows to a paragraph, each clause is so adjusted to its fellows, and the whale structure is so simple and, withal so rhythmi cal, that the mind takes it in without an effort —or rather,,ie carted into it as if this were its own thinking. A part of the 'charm of Father .11yaeinthe's. oratory lies in the fact that it conveyp Jrn portant truths by suggestions rather than prow positions, and is so. much the thinking of the heart. Yet it is not wanting in deep, close thinking—a little scholastic; and at times mys tical; but nevertheless profound and original thinking; for while it is easy to see that to an Anierican audience there was nothing new or striking in last Thursday's Conference,yet front him it was both fresh and original; and there was an intense interest in hearing from the lips of it priest of the Homan Catholic Church, the declaration of the sovereignty of conscience, , the sanctity of marriage, the divine ordination of the family,' the spiritual unity of the Church, the universal brotherhood of mankind in free dom and equality. Despotic • rule in France has taught him the art Of - uttering the boldest truths tinder suggestive forms that escape the letter of the law ; and so in these, signifi cant utterances he defined his position toward the Pope and the Church without really naming . either. His ad dress before the Peace League is a fine ex ample of this power in its hits at "personal government.". , All his thoughts • are in har mony with the • highest truths, and show the broadest sympathy with humanity and the widest charity for all who possess the love of Christ. They seem to flow spontaneously from the heart; and this marks the third and highest:point in the analysis of his oratory. ,Father Hyacinthe is amen of deep convictions ; a thoroughly sincere . man; one feels that he relieves what he says, and •is in earnest be came he . believes it. This Sincerity and ear nestness of feeling rise at times to a sublime fervor of utterance. As be portrayedthe heart as the true motive power of life, he stood be fore his audience the impersonation of his doe trine that, the heart creates icleas--that ideas] are not gained "by climbing the ladder of rea son, but "descend from (od, and take life and dwell within us, and make the mystery of our actual life its; deliciousness, its sublimity, its, deification."—.

I est aspirations of of Mendelssohn and: • ndel.' In this country those who Introduce it: and strive to support it are . • doing a good work. We know of none who Las main tained a more firm . and. noble 'position : than Mr. Pearce, the accomplished organist of St. Mark's. • For our own part, we - could wish that, all swishes' appreciated and supported such an organist and such a musical service. The organ is beautiful and poyverful, copied partly from the one In Trinity Chapel, :NeW.• York, which was put up under the direction of the late eminent musician, Dr. Edward. Hodges. Mr. Pearce keeps up a well-thilleff choir of men and boys. .11e is master of them as well as of the organ.; Hes leads .the peoPle. and the people support him. In fact be is what Sydney Smith said: "A round man in a round hole..' The church is eivesemwdeci often on Sundays, and be has a good chance to show what English church-music 'lSt conscientiously. 'As he is so strong; Ise can well bear a fevrhints. First, we must allude to that beautiful and suggestive practice of the Processional Hymn. Where the, custontjirst commenced, we cannot now . tell. - As far as we know, it is not . a cathe. drat practice. The congregation awaits in silence. Voices in the distance are heard, nearer and nearer approaching. • As the first , sight of the white-robed procession meets the' eye the people rise. One white surplice glides to the keys, and, apparently without, effort or intent, the soft harmonies steal In. anti 'blend, and roll out fuller and fuller, behind the voices. There are those who object to that beautiful opening to Divine service. But is it not far , preferable to that eme prevailing so broadly, ' vtheris'an organist begins five minutes before time to play some secular or nonsensical strain, distracting from, not fitting the mind for, what is to come after; • and often causing one to rise from his knees and ex claim, " i cannot pray to such music;" while others have time to examine dress and to com ment on the entering clergy? • To return : Mr. Pearce, as a leader, should go right. There is no authority for the bare octave "Amen" after the Confession, &c. • The harmony should be used. -Good and pleasant it. is to hear Dr. Boyce's "Te Deums " sung so spiritedly. His, music is one of thesolklitiesofart. The Litany, the beautiful . Litany, sung on monotone and octave by the priest and choir, is alike un authorized, undevotional and distressing. On bearing, it done so, well may the religiously disposed Christian go away and say "there is no devotion," and those who simply ar g ue for it a style have a - wrong idea of it. What -is mote beautiful in all the range of music than the Litany chanted feelingly with the sweet harmony and cadence by Tanis..? Far better for the cause of truth and the efiect on the people that the Rector read the Litany in his natural and_ solemn tones, _than have it so disfigured. • The Psalter may be a little too fast and me chanical, but that must be the case where the single chant so much is substituted for the melodious flow of the Anglican chant. But that is a good fault, so to speak ; life and fervor rather than the drawl. We like to bear the glorious background of the organ carrying the singers alolig - Whefrier they "Svid -- or 'no, and - rolling off to the other end of the church. Does offertory music mean anything? After a solemn sermon, and the senteuce is read, If we have sown unto you spiritual things," or. " Give alms of thy goods," is it right to take our minds to the " Ave Maria" by Schubert, and keep us singing to ourselves "Virgin. Mother, hear our vows "? Is the "Serenade" admissible then, or, " Oh ye tears "? Ought the minister to announce them? It is either all right or all wrong, together. There truth in every custom in the Anglican Church. When the organ is in the chancel, it is more than ever to be the voice of priest as well as people. And who that listens there would net leave in better mind after bearing the grand thoughts so ably interpreted Of Handel, or Mozart, or Mendeissben, or 'Spohr, than in associating the place and the instrument with the secular strains of Schubert or Meyerbeer. There is truth yet to be found. We do not think, either, the old "Gloria in Exeelsis " is improved by practicing on it all possibilities of modulation and harmony. tut whatever is thought of it, It is a grand service, full of enjoyment and devotion. The procession fdrms again, for the day is done--another solemn duty for us is over. Keeping step to the lovely music, the white garments are passing, away. " Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day ; Earth's joys grow dim—its glories pass away," more and, wore distant, suggestive of Jacob's dreati, the " angels ascending." Should that be our last service, and they "descend" no more! "In life, in death, 0 Lord, abide with me." But ere the line is sung, when it ap peared that , even the organ would- like to finish it, tilde is a Pitting; away of a inrplice. He bas left evel:a:u. unrevlveil. chord, on the keys; the door is shut—he is gone. Humllity of • True Art.

' , lite most es iensive and Undoubtedly most valuable collec tion of oil paintings ever owned in the United States is in Are City, .01e.lioattUi, and belongs to, the estate,of tho late Thomas Thompson, Esq„: 'a man well known tot all Bostonians for lds great- wes4 and many eccentricities. ,It will be remembered that Mr. Thompson died in New York in the spring of the present year, and the singular bequests made in his will were but another instance of the peculiari ties which marked the man through life. Ile was a lover of the fine arts from his e i youth, and at the. time of .thp urning of the, Tremont Tearpl4 In! BlarelY, 1 2, Ile ost, by the conflagration: a tiab art echo- which had cost him upwards of $92,000, and this,cbe it remembered, was at : a time when money was gold and'everything Wats chew. This rularottine ftit a time discouraged him but he could not overcome his tastes and habits: In half a doien years his new collection , was greater than the one he had lost. Occupying the entire building over the old store of Messrs. John I. Brown & Son (Washington street., near the Boylston Market), consisting of more than a dozen rooms, the pictures not only, covered the walls, but were , positively,kept ill piles, so that it is prob4ll# said with trathihat besides the ownerlib one dver B&W •the entire collection, or anythi'ugapprosaing the whole of it 4 hlsatue of our°4l4l presidents a. the , banks and insurance companies where ME' *ThOrrqr business, artists and lite . ri'vy pep, were oecasionally invited to pass an: afternoon or often an entire day among Ow ; treasures, but they are unanimous in the ex..- pression that they could not begin to look at them all.

The poor artist found him an appreciative and kindly critic, and re ceived liheral price ; his object then' was -to - aid the artist and advance • the: cause of art. • The professional dealer found him a different,. , awn entirely?, No one' quicker detected a cheat or Ilindanded more for his money, but as it was always known that with him amarket could be found at a price, and thepaYivis cash in hand, he was a customer not. to be neglected. Among the vast collection are many paintings bought for a few hundred della* Whirl had been sold previously for as many thousands ; there are also many for which Mr. Thompson paid seve ral thousand dollars each, and which are per- laps to-tlay worth . greatly more. No oallee- Con known is so rich in rare and original pic tures. As some men are misers of money, this ec centric person was a miser with his pictures; be loved thent as his life, and he kept them jealously to himself: 'Probably not a hundred persons have ever seen them, and an applica tion to him for that purpose was almost inva riably met with a polite but studied evasion of a compliance with the request. Nearly ten years ago Mr. Thompson, al though a Bostonian and the son and last de scendant of an old Boston family, turned his back on the city with a firm though not ex pressed determination never to set his foot in it again. This resolve he rigidly adhered to, and although he lived months, almost years in Salem, MWord, Cambridge and other neigh boring places, and his property consisted of real estate in almost every street, yet he never once permitted himself to visit Boston or even to speak of doing; so. Hoceased io know the home of his youth, to correspond with his friends, and many a citizen has found by ex perience how strict were t hjs orders (and how strictly complied with) to his business agent that no one should be posted of his where abeuts. He wanted neither to see nor hear of a place where, although he bad spent the best part of his life, he considered he had also been subjected to slights, want of consideration, and in his opinion, positive abase. The cause of this feeling arose, it is believed, principally from trouble with the assessors upon questions of taxes, and those who best imow the facts consider his grounds for feeling as he did not wholly without foundation. From the day he left the city he ceased to buy pictures. The artists lost a good, friend, and picture-vendors missed their best customer. The entire col lection 11'35 stowed away, and from that day to this has been securely guarded from every eye until within the past month,. -Mr. .Harvey Young, the well portrait-painter and director:of the Fine Arts Exhibition of Boston Athemum, was employed by order of the Ex ecutrix to examine and catakque the collec tion. Mr. Y oung is prOtrably the only living man who has seen all these pictures. They are stored in Fulton street, .a most unpromising place, and in a building which no one would suspect of being . such a repository. Mr. Young asserts' that . although he hadin his youth some knowledge of them, and had him self contributed one or two effOrts, yet when be entered the building and :found such im mense piles closely packed one again qt another, - tier after tier, and Ildor above ttoor, he "was aghast, and although devoting to the work all the spare time which the demands of his pro fession allowed, 'and having all the assistance he required, yet tveeks were needed before anything like a list could be prepared. Bierstadt, the artist; who katew Cr.
