I went to the railroad station with a car riage teat evening, ani when I was on my way home with my aunt, I said : 'My dear aunt, there is one rather anooyiug in firmity that Amelia has, which I forgot to mention before... She's very deaf; and al though she can hear my voice, to which she is accustomed, in its ordinary tones, yet you will be obliged to speak extremely laud in order to be heard. Pm sorry for it.' Aunt Mary, in the goodness of her heart, protested that she rather liked speakinc , loud and to jo so would affurd.ber great pleas. ure. The carriage drove up—on the steps was wife—at the window wasjOhu Thomas, with a face as utterly solemn , as if he had buried all his relatives that atterhoon. I Lauded out my aunt•--she ascended the steps. • , I am delighted to see you,' shrieked my wife, and the policeman On the opposite side of the street started, and my aunt nearly fell down the steps. 'Kiss roe, my dear,' howled my aunt; and the hall lamp clattered, and the windows shook as with the fever and ague. I looked at the window—John bad disappear ,d. Hu man nature could stand it no longer. I poked my head into the carriage, and went into strong convulsions. When I entered the patter, my wife was helping Aunt Mary to take off her bonnet and cape; and there sat John witti his lace of woe. Suddenly, 'Did you have a pleasant jour. ney ?' went off my wile like a pistol, and John Thomas rather jumped to his feet. 'Rather dusty,' was the response, in ,a war whoop, and so , the conversation continued. The neighbors for streets around must have heard it ; when I was in the third story of the building I heard very word plainly. In the course of the evening, my aunt took occasion to say to me, 'Hew loud your wife speaks 1 Don't it hurt her ?" I told her all deaf persons talked loudly, and that my wife, being used to it, was not affected by the exertiou, and that Aunt Mary was getting along very nicely with her. Presently my wife said, softly, Alf, bow very loud your aunt talks ?' 'Yes,' said I, 'ail deaf persons do. You're getting along with her finely ; she hears ev• ery word you say.: And I rather think she did. • Elated by their success at being under stood, they went ut it hammer and tongs, till every thing on the mantle-piece clattered a gain, and I was seriously afraid of a crowd collecting in front of the house. But the end was near.- My aunt, being of an investigating turn of mind, was' desirous of finding out whether the exertion of talk ing so.lcud was not injurious to -my wife.— So said she, in lan unearthly hoot, for her voice was not as musical as it was whan she was young,•'Does!ot,tplking so loud strain your.lungslc . -1. • . • It is .ao•ex.ertiotsr oh ri ek ed •my wife, ‘, !Thew:ol4; /1.640 u do it ?' wath the answer ing wain, =• • ' : " 'Because—because—. you can't bear it I don't,' 64 - pealed:ray wile:. • "'What .said my aant, , fairly rivaliog a railroad whistle this time. infaCtarier:oclea:Lt 14ATeouvr'isr•ist.'r•- I began-to:think it time to evacuate the premises; arid' looking round and seeing John gone, I stepped . into the back parlor, wd' there he lay flat on his back, with his feet at a right angle to his body, rolling- from side - to side, with his lists poked - inte-his ribs, an - d- - tr most agonizing expression of countenace, but not uttering a sound.

Whipping Childrdh The great mass of parents have yet to learn that their displeasure with 'a child is no reason and no excuse for beating it.— _Nor_does the siruple-fadt that it has do-n—e— wrong give them warrant to subject it to physical torture. Here, for instance, is a child of from five to ten years, who, in the hope thereby of attaining enjoyment, or es 'caping punishment has told a lie. The fath er, naturally indignant thereupon gives it a beating What relation has the penalty to the offence? or rather, what good result may be fairly expected from the beating ? Can you rationally expected it to love and speak the truth because you have mauled it ? Is ar--more—liivefrttrinrte - mr, - s . a ie That child will be a good deal more apt heneeforth to tell one lie to hide another than to abhor and shun lying altogether. 'But may not a parent justifiably use force 'to restrain a child from evil doing?' Certainly. If the child insist on throw ing. the.bauarner at the looking glass, or do- crig•--a ny=vvaTa ttt, - m remusmist lie,,, quisitc-force'rnay. be: employed to constrain 41 ink better behavior . .13tit to restrain from evirdoingis one .thing , to inflict pain because evil has been done is quire another. Many a child has been hardened into inve• terate depravity by the chastiseine.nts inflic ted under the mistaken notion that its evil propenties . might thus be subdued and. erad• -icate-d7— We beg.every'parent who is prone.to beat ing his child, to recall the experiences of his own Childhood, and consider what. were t 1 e effects on his moral nature of any and s every penal infliction be endured. We. doubt tliat so many as one In ten Can firly'say - that all the parental heating to which he was sub jected did_him as much moral good as harm We are not pleading for indulgence Every child should be taught to know the right and do it. What we urge is, that' the rod, the whip, the cudgel, are implements . of parental discipline whielr have, on the whole, done far more evil than good—that more children have been confirmed' and strengthened in . wrong than rescued there from by the in• fiction of physical pain. - I .t.loTrlErts.—Every mother is a historian. She writes not the history of Empires, nor of Emperors on paper, but she writes her own history on the imperishable mind of her child. That tablet and that history will remain in dellible when time half he no more. That history each mother shall meet again, and reap with eternal jay or U ut terable grief in the coaling ages of eternity. This thought should Weigh on the mind of every mother, and render her deeply circumspect and pray erful in her solemn work of training up her children for heaven and immortality. The minds of the children are Susceptible and easily impressed. A word, a look, a frown may engrave an impression on the mind of a child which no lapse of time can deface or wash out. You walk along the. sea shore when the tide is out, and you form charac ters or write names or words in the -smooth, white sand which is spread nut so clear and beautiful at your feet, according as your fan cy may dictate; but the returning tide shall in a few hours wash out and efface all you have written Not so with lines and charac ters of truth or error which your conduct imprints on the Mind of your child There you write impressions for the everlasting good or ill of your child, which neither the floods nor the storms of earth can wash out, nor death's cold fingers can erase, nor the slow moving ages of eternity obliterate.— How careful then. should each mother be in - the treatment of her child. how prayerful, heti serious, and Low earnest to write the eternal truths of God on his mind—those truths which shall be his•guide and teacher when her voice shall be silent in death. There dwelt in Maine a good Methodist brother, who was“blessed' with-a - wife of a fretful. disposition. Being at camp-meeting, they, on one occasion, knelt together in the tent prayer meeting. Th e husband felt called upon to . pray, which he did in a de vout and proper manner. He Was followed by his wife, who, among other thing, said : 'Them knowest, Lord, 'that I am somewhat fretful and cross at home,' but. before she eould announce•to the Lord enotter state ment, the husband exclaimed : 'Amen !—truth, Lord, every word of it.' ,It - would be revealing; the secrets of do-• ineiti - e; life 'to 'disclose the manner o and in which the, conversation was resumed and ended.n.t.the hOrne circle.. .

Long before• the hour fixed upon by cus tom for an evening visit, he found himself arrayed in his best—blue coat, metal buttons, black cassimere pants (said pants a leetle tighter than the skin,) and a spotless vest. Thus arrayed, he proceeded to the house of his dulcinea, was admitted by a .giggling servent who could hardly announce him for !an h • - _ i jam.] aWM fora moment,. for he heard an angel voice bidding him welcome and draw near, which he proceeded to obey with alacrity, but be little dreampt of the obstacle Which fate had thrown in hie way• I-Ie knew too well that the stream of love had many ripples, but full grown snags never entered into hie head Ige,,thetk_te-A is-asto.n is h men ra - t=b - ,eitr - gr tripped up almost_at_the-fair-one's feet-by--a fat stool with plethoric legs, which chance or a careless servant had placed-exactly on the road to happiness.

The young lady — was most suffocated with laughter at the sad misfortune of the- bash • ful lover, felt truly sorry fur him, and used all her powers of fascination to driveit from his mind, and eventually succeeded so far as to induce him to make a remark. Oc this rock he split Just at that moment she discovered she bad lost her handkerchief. What had be. come of it! She was slum she had it when be came in. It must certainly be somewhere about.

As he did no the fracture opened, and behold there lay as the lady supposed her property+, It was the work of a moment to catch tho corner and exclaim 'Here it is, sir, you needn't trouble your self about it.

But what should he do? Another and another stronger pull, evincing on the part of the lady a praiseworthy determination to obtain the lost dry goods coupled with the request.

ABSENCE OF MIND.-A bachelor friend of ours is in the habit, when be comes to his room in the evening, of putting his tea kettle on the stove, and himself lying down on the lounge and taking a snooze until the kettle begins to sing, when he gets up and bakes his tea.

Choirs, Singing, &0., Continued. --- 11 is by no means sufficient that - the hymns and time are of the same measure; bath the rythmic structure as well as the genera' east must correspond. As a general rule, slow tunes, in the major scale, should be sung to hymns of a meditative character; and when their phraseology is of a plaintive character, they sbouldbe sung to hymns of similar char acter. Slow tunes in the minor scale should be ecing to hymns which are plaintive or-sup. , plieatory io the highest degsee These tunes require much practice to secure the proper intonation. Undisciplined choirs not un. irequentlps i ng-4 h eat ,vv i th—the-sa ut "uton tion as those in the major scale, and thus, al- , most entirely destroy their-inflame., Many choirs, in consequence of their inability to appreeiate and sing_ these several classes-of tunes, permit them to dwindle into mere 'drags,'--and—then-consider 'them not very good.' Quick tunes should -be applied to themes in which the current of thought is comparatively-rapid; --- These - reles - are of - the utmost importance; and should invariably be observed. A quick Lane sung to a medi aft , e hymn does not afford sufficient time for bought; and, on the contrary, a slow tu , e sung to a - hymn - in - which the current of thought is rapid t ieditees_the—ver-y—Spirit of it to mere vapidity. There are hymns in which the lines of a stanza are occasionally broken by long phra ses, or sadden exclamations; for these it is generally best to select a slow choral (a time in which the notes are all or nearly all of the Barrie length) so that pauses may be 'gained, without injury to the rhythm. Unless the proper pauses are made, the language of the poetry is hot only unintelligible, but, what is still worse, is changed to nonsense. tations as are frequently made by untutored singers. They are all exceedingly bad, and hence will serve very well as a negative study for such of the readers of this, as may 'de• sire to make use of their judgement in the application of tunes to hymns : Rockinghani, to •'Broad is the road 'that leads to death " - to - to - " The gold - tifidT3ilver are the Lord's." Sessions,-to-"l'raise Goa — from blessings flow." _Dundee, to "All h iil,the power of Jesus' name." St: Martins, to "0 God, my refuge, hear ray cries." Geneva, to "sweet was the thnewhen first I felt." Phillips, to "Como, let U 9 join our cheerful songs." Nightingale, to " Alas!-and-did my - Sevior - blecd:" - Bream to "Sja has a thonsand treactirrous arts." Gerar, to 'And shell we - still - 6e slaves.' • Alma, to "Raise your triumphant songs." Boylston, to "My soul be on thy guard." Fern Dell, to 'Angels rolled the rock awly." Pleyel, to' Children of the henv'nly Ming." Next in importance to the suitable adap tation of tunes to hymns," is expression, or the proper degree of loudneSs or softness and the intonation, timbre, or quality of voice. Ludicrous or rather (as it occurs where ev erything should be done decently and solemn ly) deplorable attempts at expression ari sometimes heard. Those parts of a stanza which should be sung piano or piannisszino are sung forte or forteissimo, or those which should be sung forte or forteissimo are sung piano or pianielimo. A sad attempt at ex pression, the writer of this once heard from a tholr in singing the hymn, 'Depth of mer cy ! can there be, &c.' The time was not a dapted to the sentiment of the hymn, yet not so positively had as not to admit of being sung with., at least, some degree of expres sion But, instead of this, the first stanza ,was sung in a bold declamatory style the second and third, in a smothered attempt at pianissimo; and the fourth, fifth, and sixth, in the same manner as the first. Whether such an attempt at expression is not deplora• ble, the reader may judge for himself. When the singer or worshipper does not fully un derstand the import of what be is singing, no attempt should be made at expression, but the hymn should be sung mezzo. With out, however, following every shade o r change of sentiment throughout a hymn, it is not possible to realize the full power of the poetry. We should, as has already been stated, sing with the spirit and the under standing, but that which the understanding does not comprehend, can make no impres sion upon the feelings, and hence must be sung (if it may be so called) at Caere random. That most singing which is 'Maid, except from such as have studied the subject thor oughly, is of this-character, is too evident to need proof. Indeed every congregation has among its members some who may properly be culled confirmed 'drags.' They do not seem to enjoy the music unless it is dull and lifeless as to be almost worthless for religions edification. The hymns are, or at least seem all alike to them. Unmakes apparently no deeper impression than another. They sing them all in the same sleepy style, and can al ways be heard singing, as it were, an accom paniment to the general clinging, being, in variably, as it is called, (a note or two) 'be hind the others. The worst adaptation ap pears to afford them the must enjoyment.— They are especially opposed to 'this fast (with expression) singing.' 'They always sing very well—they think' It is true, they frequent ly sing too loud, hnt rlsis _only breaks the general monotony, and makes the exercise • • so much the 'prettier. 1 They drawl out the last syllable of every lion of the poetry, so as, in many instances to break all connection of sense with the fol lowing line. Inexperienced choiii are guilty of the same thing. The last'syllaide is held, irrespective of what the sense and expression require as if there were some obstacle in tbo way, which prevented the immediate con tinuance. Another _error closely allied to the one just named, is holding the note an der the Pause or Bold, whether the sense nod 'eipreision require it or not.

You must care little or notbiog about oth er men's wants or sufferings, or disappoint ments. • • Yon mast not mind it that your great wealth involves many others in poverty. You must not give away money except for a material equivalent. You must not go meandering about nature, nor spend your time enjoying air, earth, sky, or water, for thore is no money in it. You must not detract your thoughts from the great purpose of your life with the charms of art and literature, • You must not I , :t philosophy or religion engross you during the secular time.
