All notions, people and persuasions have loved muds, and all have had their" hearts triucheid by iii is...thing Influence. From the war song to the dkrge, from' the timbrel to the into. Mu etc, whether of the voice, singing like Datild,`•the Lord'snn; in a intense land," or from the harp and Gratin, or any inetrurnant of breith or hand, hair been the strongest bond of sympathy and uni. on among men.

Music end Poetry t wedded together in sweet communion, and in days of old, when men were more superstitious than they are at present, Prophecy we. deemed the haodmiid of both, and Apollo delivered his auguries at the wand of the Butz We would, however, clothe the art in no superhuman sanctity. It is a sublime and pro found science, as it is. well united to our worihip of the Deity and blending gracefully with all our religious vows and hopes. In the world It hu a magic power,—in Vence willing the possiqns as the waves us stilled when the winds are lulled, and in war rousing the tempest and the whirlwind of battle, Where before all wee eaten and wrens as a limping child.

We think a jiation, and of ammo its comm.,ll cannot show too high an appreciation of such so art. Ooe might go, like the German Robbers, from the song of the carousal to deeds that would frighten the souls of men trained to duty and en joyment, but the blunter of Music, in all its right uses, tends to temper the judgment and soften en. soy asperity. It should, in out poor judgment, be taught More freely than it is. Of old, In Egypt the young were taught Music as a brooch of com. , moci education. In Germany now-there are no schools tor the inamttion of the young where Music Is not taught, and we hope, that with all the bad customs which we borrow from the Old World, we may in time imitate this which !swot., •th -of all praise nod admiration._ Heart Mitstaire PIOPIIIITOII, designed for manntscturing bricks out of dry clay, ban been in successful operatiOn since January 1846.
