Mr. Pr€tident, Ladiet and Omtdtwum:â€" I have been Appointod to wUbnam you on tbi8 antject bf yoor oommittM withoat my koowladge ui eooMnt. I made enquirieti why tbey bitipon dm, aud waa narpriaed to le»rD that it wa« bMsnse I was an old piper. It appeara, then that the love for the OraU War Pipes of Scotland ia ao deep rooted ia the committee aa to luflueoce them mnch in tlieir decision on the qaeetioo ot Sabbath School Maeio. While the anbjeet ia a very interesting oae, U is difficult. To prepare readhig matter for the young ia acknowledged to be no easy task. Donbtl«s8, mnch ia written intended aa reading and mnaic for children, which ia stamped with the oharaoler of "Hit diddle diddle. The cat and the fiddle. The eow jniaped over the moon." If it was intended that this state of thinf^s should coutiuue, the committee would have selected to address ou thia subject one of the old fiddlers around me. But, it seems a change is des- irable, and therefore' they have chsen a Highlander from a Highland con Kregation, taking 4M hh oioAal -tarn musical instrument ofthe Highlanders Let us see then, what are the peculi- arities of Pipe Musio, and wo will find what is required in otir Sabbath School music. let.â€" It is simple. Snd. â€" ^It is of convenient eonpaaa. 8rd. â€" It ia appropriate. 4th. â€" It is inatructiva. r. Sufruomr. -It is posaible to make a chanter from an oat straw, upon which iraT be played, with ao curacy, the most intricate tuue within the whole rani;e of pipe muNC. It is not, then, too mnch to ask tLat tunes ir.teuded for so delicate and immature an instrument as that formed by the vocal organs of a child, should be so liimple that they might be sung with ease. Many times of mch a character Hrr to be found in the Hymn Book (Gall k Inglis) which we dtiefly use, and are deservedly popular. Take for example the tune set to the W(»d« *â-  Jeana lover of my sonl;" Its simplicity puta it within the readi of young and old. Many tnnes, however, in this 8'tm« hymu book are fur from being simple: for example, the tune tu tha wordia â€" "Aroand the throne of Ood in h ea v a n Ten thooaand ehildren atand." In mnaio for children the gradation Irom one note to the nest sLoold be easy. The timo should bo simpla, â€" without demissemiquavei a. Slnniug â€" thiagraud sliding up and down tlie 6cale, in whi^ professionals are ex- pected to xcel â€" shonid be avoided as much as possible. It follows, if music is to be easy. " (2) It Must bb Witbii* CoNvxioBaT CoMTASB â€"This iu tlie seoiind peculiarity which I noticed in pipe mnnc. It ia only pnasible to produce uiua tones upon the elianter. This ia on* ion« more than I would like ti reqnira from an/ ordinary ohiid. Nothing is more hurtful to the vocal organs than to force them to strike notes whisharH to J high ur too low. Besides, singing mnst be disagreeable, when theae organs ar3 strained and pained. However, if we teach oar child ren to atbg let the mnaie be of snch a character that it may be performed without eonstraint. and without danger of injury to tke trail Btruotuie which prodnoes the voice. If we force a child to siug tnnes of too liigii a pitch, the voice may cease to bo musical, and become broken nod squeaking The first tone above mentioned u a good example of one within eonvenient compass Tbe other is fault in this respsei, ombrae- ing one note more than can be |4ayed on the pipes. Itgoeabbtb too M^ and too low. It is plain tbat if a t^ina sboaU bs suited for the voioe for which it is iotendod, it should also bs af- proprials in otbar Tsapcsts; aa, far mstonee, to tha irMdsang.«Mlto the oeeaff'n npon vfaidi ttiaassd. tlmbriogBufcttethiid psMliirty ia«w â€" :_:_,".. ia aa Tha BMsbaa and kindnd mwaie id ths HigUaads an aciknoviadged to bs the most warfiks and some have, tbsrsfure, sawNed that the pipes are o«fy smted fiv military purposes. Mathiag eould be more erroneoos. W« h»v« abmdy nntieed that the â- rtees ot daueeta salacted them for bis grand baH. Altboagn it waa held in a abareh, in defiaucato all sanetitT, ha did not ase tbe •vgan. Than is a great dMl of pine mosie wan soiM for the domestic eirela. Saab a tone as e "Taladh," or "Nona's Sung." well played npon the p^es, aunld have a for happier effaet Qpoo the baby than a dose of Soothing Bymp.

On the death of a ero, or chieftain, the very instrument tbat instilled his brave e^^irit b^o his followers, and inspired them t. desds of valour, during hisUfe, gavLfull and true expression to their surrow and deep grief, when they were bearing his remaiub to their lust resting place.

For this elas of music tbe pipes have a peculiar mtnor wail which thrills tbe soul and moves the breast. This same aisNor piculiarity which, whan properly managed, thrills and moves the sloutest heart â€" witli monrufoi sympathy, is equally well adapted to sooti e and console the sorrow stricken and bereaved widow â€" and to lull t sletp the reitless babe. Ail will agree however, tbat a tun ' which is intended for a wedding sbon It not be played at a funeral. A story ' Jo|^^aAM||u|AaMa witothoagkibini- WI^^H^VMm eoarse of time hi^ mother died. He nudertool( to play the Lammt. The dav of the funeral tha solemn procession was formed. The women sat around with their shoulders rucking mournfully from side to side, aeoording to custom; and mauT an "Och,a'a oeh, 's mo mn a bhaan," gave vent to theartfelt grief. Sandy blew np hia pipea. Hu fonud them very hard "to tune." He screwed the drones n j and down to get them to sound in liarmouj with the chanter. Success at la t crwnsd his efforts, and he strikes out with the tuneâ€" "Mo ghala cbas thu Mo gh»la ohaa tha Mo ghala oliaa 'sa a fhraoeh tbo." Then, waving his bonnet over his head, he shouts iu triumpii "iiadin gliillean. fhoair mi letmfl" This iiislnnce shows that a would be mnsician may disgnest and confound a whole assembly by giving mns^c in- appropriate to the occa8iou. But what has all this to do with Sabbath School Music? Nothinir, unless wp learn something from the example of the Hixhland composers. If ])ipe music is always appropriate for the purpose for which it was in- tended, so ahonid SaHliath School Music be. Surely, what ia intend for the praise of Ood shonid receive as much care as what is designed for mere amusement, or some worldly object. A chil ' who is eniowed with an ear for mnfic, is alfco endowed with taste tu distinguiah what is appropriate from what is irrelevant or vicious. Aud if his ear or taste is not im- |W»ved by the tunns we teach him, it must be impaired. There are many beantifnl tnnea with suitable words given iu our Hymn Book. Indeed the eompli«-rB iuive beun very successful in keeping within the requirements of the Salibath Rithool tones. For ex^ ample the tune to the words "One fhare w ahova pU athofs^. O.liowHsloves Baaaty aad simplicity, and purity of thooghtand sentiment, and expteas- ion, are generally e'mbined. f uaes and hymns, partaking ol tle these virtues, ahonld be taught and song in onr schools. The vary opposite qnalities, however, are not nnireqnsntly. fooad in music and byrans iutendoi* for the "Nasery oftheChartfh." Sometimes tho Lean^ of the tnne carriea along the words with it. Mid givee them a pnpulartv of whiehtb^ are not worthy aomstimes the wwda bear tbe tane along bnt there are otiiers wbicb seem to have nctfamg to reoommend them unless it be ridioaloasness. They are not fit •van for Btrea' whisttio^. We can iraagiiM a Sabbath Stdiool singing ths bj«a beginning with ths ••Who. tAo oio Hmo wavaf Still he is to "pnll for the shore" all the same. No wonder the poor sailor would be confusei and confounded with such instruction. Virgil had tho good Bcnsf toprevidea ferry- man (fur- nished witli a paddls) and a boat tor the pasbeugei s; I-itt our author would seem to deprive them of abost aiidferry- man, and their own en'ity beaides, and t" lenve nothing but "the oar" to "pull f r the shore," and reach the oUier aide of the "foaming billows." Such music is nit editying; it is con- fusing and in appropriate. The words aud the music ebould be suited to one another, and both should be appropri- ate for the worship of God â€" the pur- pose for which they areintended. The next peculiarity of our • chosen inatmmant, ia â€" (4) It IB l a Bt a ocT i v a â€" ^Opon it tho competent performer can ex pi ess his every feehug. The silver-uonnding strains, and the murmuring warblings of tbe Pipes of Old Scotia, have been instrumental in training a nation in deads of bravery and valor, and also in a:t'4 of sympatliy and love. Now, if our music, whether iutenned for young or old, fails to lead us to one or all of tlese virtoes, it fails in every- thing. The sesthetic m ns. our taste for the beautiiulr the sullime, and the grand â€" needs to be drawn out, cul- tivated and refined. For this purpose music is invaluable, t^bbath School music shonid be such as is calculated to give vent and expression to the feelings of reverence gratitude, joy- fulness, humility and love, which the children are taught to entertain in the presence of Him who knows the heart. Thbre is one kind of music wLich is tto much neglected bothin Sabbath Schools and congregations â€" namely, music in the sitnor m'Kle. Many, even of those who are in the choirs, regard aU minor music as hateful. Its hate- iulnoss to them arises from one, or all, of three causes â€" l^irst â€" it is some- what difficult, and they dislike the labor of acquiring a knowledge of it; Secondly â€" they lack the proper train- ing to practice it auccessfolly, thirdly; their want of ealtivattd ta«te. No music is sweeter, or more expressive of feeling than tbat in the minor mode. We shonid practice more of it in our schools, in our charehes, and our homes. In eonclnsion, allow me to say that onr Sabbath School mnsic shonid Lot bo boisterous. Tbe wild, rude nature will find 8nffiei«Lt opportunity for de- velopment ontside of the class room. Let our music be such as is calculated to suppress vicious emotions, and to elevate and strengthen the nobler feel- ings and aspirations. Then will the remembrance of our Sabbath School ansie eootinae to send a eheering gleam all along the pathway of life, nntil the pearly gate opens to a britor ^oiy. aasialna threap th» gasw itam Oonntw Trsasarar. list of laala Uable to ba soU ia 1881: Bishaid Taylor, biU tor expabsas oa rolls; MoKilnskr emalar rs road aaraper; from M.

As the evening wns ap- proaching, there waa an appearence of tronUe in the Mormon camp, from crowds of youths who assembled in the street, bat by a little caution from the proprietor of the Hall, nothing seri- ous occuirod, and the Elder preached a very able discourse from Revelations, and at the close of the service he in formed his beareis that he had a call to go to another neighborhood to preach "Glad tidings of the new Gospel" beinr restored, after being lost four years, unto the poor nnbe- Uevers and I have only to say thitt some belive, so far, in his docterine tbat quite a few argements are hold inconsequence. Our neighborhood was quietly slumbering after the Mormon excitement, when we heard of a con- tract of marriage made in our midst, and thd boyo prepainng for a chivrari. I can say that our neighborhood is not bad on snch unlawful gatherings, very few weddings are this way disturbed here, but in this case ths groom was a widower, it not being five mouths aioee the aeightorhood turned out to bnry hu first wife, and she being one of themoat fesf^otoblo young women in onr place, tue boys though they would obaetise him a Uttle for mar- rying so soon afta tbe death of his dear aud kind wife, so on the nights of Tuesday, SSnd and, Wednesday 23rd, about 40 men and boys kept tlie neighborhood alive by the reports of cheers, horns, gans, eoW bells, Ac and at hist aaoceded in raising ths mmey, which was spent in whiskey, and to the araosemant of aom* eaased a few loeal qnarrals to be stired np.

Burdock Blood Bitters is k xafd and perfect regulator of the bo -.vols, arous- ing the torpid Livor and all tlio se* cretions to a healthy action; acting on the Kidneys, aud renovating and ton- ing the system in the most perfect manner. DiPBTBKRi4 is reported from ucarlv every quarter of the Dominion, and shattered families ara its memorials wherever it appears, it is strauKe that a disease that has provel ao deadly has not ranged more unitelly and de- terminedly against it the medical fa- culty and civil authorities. It has been conclusively proved that the proverbial ounce of prevention is of vast import- ante in stamping diphtheria out before it base time to become epidemic. A medical gentleman in Nova Scotia. who has for years mile a epeoial study ot the caused and prevention of tbe disease, and. iu his practice in different parts ot the Proviuce, haa bad abundant field for effoi-t in those directions, has given voluminous evi- dence to tlie public from tbe platfonn and throagh tbe press to prove that diphtheria, as well as other zymotic diseases, owes its origin to impure air and water, tbeao caused by uucle^u surroundings, and its fearfully rapid spread to the yngnarj^^anproach and contact of hei^thy persons to and with those suffering from the disease. In one of his latest letters to the local proas the doctergiveti several instencea in luB practice where the ^isease in itomost virulent forms had been stamp- ed out of communities by the timely adoption of separation of tUc sick from the other members of the family and strict quarantine of the infected house.
