When all the air is filled with calm,
And all day long a purple haze
Bungs o'er the meadoir and the farm
These quiet, dreamy afternoons,
Arid 'L.tinst.ts rich with crirtiqon glow,
These suit refu laent !invest moons
Fill me with thoughts of long ago.

Goes hack to those dear times again.
And scenes and faces ne'er forgot
Come thronging to my musing brain
However glad the present is,
However swift the moments go—

A CHINESE WEDDING.
A letter front China to the Chicago Tri.-

Canton, afforded me permission to witness a
Chinese marriage procession and ceremony

wedding procession I accordingly stopped
for the purpose of obtalnareg a good sight of
the novel procession First there came fif
teen horn-blowers, dressed in long,. flowing
scarlet gowns and black hats. These were
marshaled by a tel marching by their side,

a table covered with sweetmeats, a third one
covered with fruits, a fourth with roasted
poultry of every description, a fifth with a
sheep, the wool of which bad been shaved
off, which ever and anon bleated in a most
melancholy manner. These tables were car
ried by persons dressed in white gowns, with
the black skull cap so popular in China. -
-About one hundred persons followed, dressed
in gay colors, and then came a sedan chair of
the most gorgeous description. It was car
ried by four virgins dressed in white and red.
Immediately -behind the chair walked the
bride, carrying in her hand a small package.
She was bareheaded, and her hair done up
in the style worn by virgins. She kept her
eyes bent Upon the ground, looking neither
to the right or left. Immediately behind
her followed two women carrying small pack
ages in their bands, and behind them were a
dozen virgins scattering joss paper in every
direction. These were followed by the
bride's parents,who were riding is chairs, and
surrounded by a body-guard, who scattered
bits of paper throughout the street.. A name
ber of other chairs brought up the rear. Ifr.
cry few yards the procession would halt for
a moment and receive the congratulations of
those in the street; :it would' then move for
ward to the blast of the horns. The scene
was a novel one, and I 'determined to see its
termination ; therefore, I informed my guide
of my determination, and we turned and fol
lowed the procession. Passing through a
number of street', the procession at last halt

Beautiful Prayers
The prayers are beautiful that reach the
thirone_of_G_etl._The fervent ra er of the
righteous man availeth much and is beauti
ful. The prayer of the - widow and father
less, lcho have no helper save. Him who
hut-rrtii the orphan's cry, is indeed beauti
ful The prayer of the infant who takes
God's promise in his most implicit grasp, as
he does his mother's hand, is beautiful
The prayer of the lowly saint lettered and
ungrammatical, is, beautiful. The prayer of
the poor man when 'God heard him and
delivered him put of all his trouble,' was
beautiful. The prayer of the publican who
smote upon his breast, and said 'God be
merciful to me a sinner,' was beautiful The
prayer of Stephen, when amid the storm of
stones he cried, before be full asleep, 'Lay
not this sin to their charge,'
There is a grammar and rhetoric.of.Heav
en, but it is foreign' to the cultur e of this
world. The courtiers there wear wedding
garments,' and they speak the celestial lan
guage; but sometimes they seem ragged and
ignorant to the eyes, that are blinded with
the clay and dust of our earthly roadside.
We cannot always discern the fashions of

Vanity.
_ One of -the greatest vices, for such we may
term it, to which men and vitunen of :the
present. day.. are strongly addicted, and one
which row ! off.thein ;bare to renounce. is the
love of fitte , dress.. Vanity is a pi evailing el
meat in our nature, and 'fain e.itliest
times man _has evinced the most particular
regard to personal experience... and
,ext-rnal
display. Many • true and noble minds have
been perverted by the useless. consideration
of dress, and misled by its pleasing allure
meets tutu the ways of dimiipation and folly.
The Shrine of Fashion bait many votaries,
hut few are more fervent in their devotions
than those . whi. have nothing more enobling
to engage their time, spend it in the vain en
deavor to wear floe clothes. It is highly ini
pertant then that we should have work,
strong healthful work— 'work that develops
the muscles, gives animation to the spirit and
expands the intellect. Idleness is one of the
besetting sins of humanity, and unless its in
fluence is counteracted by mental and physi
cal occupation, we can never hope to fulfil
the great mission designed by tr kind Provi
dence.
'LOVENG AND HATING —lf you love,
lme more. If you hate, hate lees Life
ig too short to spend in bating any one.—
Why war against a mortal who is going the
same road with us? Why not expand the
flower of lite and happiness by leatning to
love, by teaching those who are nedr and
dear the beautiful lesson : Your bands may
be bard, but your heart need not be: Your
forms may be bent-or ugly, do you not know
that most beautiful flowers grow in the moat
rugged, unsheltered places ? The palace
for care, the cottage for love Not that
there is no love in the mansion; but some
how, if we are not very careful, business will
crowd all there is of beauty out of the heart.

cently, to attend a 'break down,' that is a
dance The ladies upon the occasion wore
arrayed in their best, with all the gay colors
which uncultivated taste could sue-gest..—
The gentlemen were dressed in homespun
clothes, and none but our friend had broad-
cloth upon his back. Daring the evening.
sweet potatoes of an enormous size, roasted
in the ashes, whore banded round to the
cornuaily, together with a handful of salt for
3ach guest. A beautiful young lady soon
became smitten with our friend, (perhaps
his rnaLrollieient, moustacti,) and resolved to
dance with him. She thereupon turned to
a friend, and addressed her in these words.:
•Sally, h3ld my potatoe while I trot round
with that nice hose, what's got on store
clothes.' Our young friend was clinched
accordingly; he couldn't extricate himself
from the grip of the rustic) beauty, and he was
glad to 'trot round' after her for one mortal
long hour before he could gain respite from
his labors.
A lawyer the other day, went, into one of
our barber shops to procure a wig. In tak
ing the dimensions .of the lawyer's bead the
buy exclaimed, 'Why, how long your bead
is, sir.' Yes,' replied our worthy friend,
'we lawyers must have long heads.' The
boy proceeded in hi vocation, but at length
exclaimed, 'Lord, air, your head is as t hick
as it is long.' Blaellstone,minsled.

should have an answer. To find fault with
the people if they take no part in this eser•

This being an undeniable fact, is it not the
key to the question, why so many congrega
tions take no part in singing on the Sabbath ?
That it is admits of no doubt. Most of the
tunes that are sung by the majority of so
ealled choirs, have uothing to recommend
them. They are utterly devoid of character,
without meaning or substance, and no mat
ter how often sung, are not remembered by
a person in the congregation ; because there
is_mothing_to_be_remembemi. They re the
• 7 - -empri-ricstrtif-nrsro- - --noism.--Out--modern
singing -books contain at most nothing but
this kind of trash. A good hymn well sung
to a suitable tune, should move every mem
ber of a congregation in sympathy with its
sentiment. But, instead of this, what really
'the effect of the singint , in most of our
churches ? It neither has the power to make
one weep nor rejoice; and, were it not fash
ionable or rather customary to have such an
exercise, it might, without detracting from
the service, be as well omitted, and the
'hymns - merely well - read.
- It is true that, to the oars of the illiterate,
this mere empty noise sometimes has a pleas
ant jingle, whfch makes them think, and not,
infrequently say, "Those are very pretty
tunes." but this is one of the most convinc
ing evidences of its trashy character and ut•
ter worthlessness.
The fault does however not always lie in
the music or tunes, but as frequently in the
singing. Good singing demands intelligence
on the part Of the singer_or singers; aud 'a
few hastily picked-up potions of music.' says
— Bassini, 'are not sufficient to make a singer'
In order to sing well, it, is necessary to be a
ble. eo read well 'Arid to read Well,''says a
writer, 'somethinemore is necessary than to
understand the moaning of what is: read =-
There is, probably, no literary production
that is the cold work of the intellect alone.
In all that bits been' written of;prose or poet
ry, the emotions play an important part ; and
no one can read skilfully who does not ap
'preeiate the sentiment 'expressed in what he
reads, or who does oat feel, for the time be
ing, as its author felt when wrote it The
sense of discourse can tie conveyed fly words,
-but the Wings Of an author can only be ex
pressed in the natural language of tones. A
reader or speaker who would interest an au
dience must not utter words coldly like a
talking machine, hut his manner of utterance
must indicate his per.onal seotiaPtits:. What
is above said of reading applies with still
greater forne tO singing
liaorlini du, writer already quiited, says,
'Expression in music is dependent on three
things:— accentuation ; coloring; flexibility
of voice. As regards the first, it will be un
derstood, that as in speaking we always ac
cen r more strongly under an excited state of
feeling, so in singing we fled the same to be
true. In a joyous allegro, therefore, we se
cent more str.eagly than in a calm adagio,
and. we attack notes . most forcibly in the gru
pelt°, appogirtlitre &c. The natural accentu
ation of the voice in ordinary conversation
and social intercourse, is the true basis of
musical accentuation. The lights and shades
are the same, except that, when transferred
to musio, they are somewhat intensified.
But an important condition of riyht and good
accentuation is 'ldentification of the singer
wide the character he is ,upposed to represent.
Without this, the . accent will neither be true
to nature nor consonant with art The sing
er-a mind should always be rather on,the
sentiment he is uttering than on the execu
€lO7l. If it is not, he betrays himself (his ig
norance) for this is easily detected. The
singer should feel for the time all he is ex
pressing, and be all that he represents; and
all the secrets . of musical expression will re
main unlocked to that singer whose heart is
strange to the joy or sorrow he sings.' As
the quality of vice (or timbre, as Bassini
calls ii) in weeping is different from that in
laughing, so there must be a corresponding
difference in singing, in order that the vari
ous shades of feeling be properly represent
ed. 'Correct coloring will almost naturally
follow a heartfelt expression 3f the sentiment
embodied. 'The proper application of the
two timbres, clear and sombre, is indeed es
sential to just expres'sion• For oftentimes
where words do not adecriately convey the
feeling, by these timbers it is well brought
