ESSAY ON MUSIC.
Perhaps there Is nothing which causes
such varied emotions to coino over the hu
man hoart as music; it calms and soothes
with Its soft sweet strains, exhlleratos aud
onlhons, with Its Joyous notes, or, causes
tho silent tear to tlow, when doep grand
chortle are struck, thrilling our boing through
and through, speaking to our hoarts, tolling
of deep feeling, strong passion, or longings of
tho soul tint tho tltnld lips noyor could ex
press. You who havo this latent should bo truly
thankful, and cultivate It well. It Is a gin
divine, one which not only subdues and on
nobles evory aspiration or your own heart,
but gives Inexpressible pleasure to thoso
around you. There Is uo way in which wo
can ontortaln our friouds so pleasantly us by
good muslo. Tho day has come whou to go
into a houso and llnil no reading matter is to
immediately conclude tho Inmates are Illiter
ate and Ignorant aud tho day will come when
to Unci a homo without a musical instrument
will force us to tho samo conclusion. What
makes homo more attractive than
FLOWEltS, mOICS, rtCTUUKS AND MUSIC?
There are none with "soul so doad" but
can appreciate some kind of music,
in tins art tnoro is prouamy moro varionco
thau lu any othor. Though so many kinds,
yet all can charm, from tho carrol of tho tiny
bird, when ho trills forth hisswoot warbllngs,
to tho soul-stlrlug sounds of tho Orchestra,
with lu hundred instruments, all in perfect
tune, or tho glorious To Doum by a choir of
many volcos, carrying us In imagination far
beyond tho kon of earth, to tho Etorual
Tiirono all gllttoring in its golden light,
around whlcn crownod sorcphs slug with
lyres and volcos attuuod by tho Groat Mas
ter, u To Damn of hoavon's mlnstrolsy.
Thoro is music ovorwhoro. A light and
airy stylo Is playod by tho whispering bree.o
and many a polka, waltz, quadrlllo or schot
tlscho Is porformod by tho eddying, dancing
brooklot. Nature's grander, doepur chords
aro struck when tho wild waves dash ovor
tho ruggod rooks, scattering salt spray far
nud near, or deop toned thunders with awful
dicord proclaim God's wrath. Thoro was
music of a gontlo kind iu tho Saviour's volco
that stilled tho waves of Galilee, with tho
command "i'oaiol He Still," and again mu
sical and all vory swoettho yearning tones
that said "I am tho way, yo weary onos come
unto mo."
Nothing oxalts tho mind moro, lifts our
souls upward to higher, holler thoughts than
soir, than to hoar sacrod music. Go Into u
church somoqulot Sabbath morning, a still
ness that can be folt rolgns, thero Is a feeling
that wo aro lu divine prosonco. Suddonly
tho full round tones of tbo organ fill tbo sa
crod odlllco. Tho organist plays on, forgot
ful of nil else, his soul lain bis work; tbo
olnuors catch tho inspiration, and slntr a
prayor of thankfulness, of supplication, of
uoiy joy: a looting ot awe comes over tuo
walling congregation, their hoarts aro open
to rocolvo tho good seod sown. They better
understand tho sorlpturo road; tho minister's
firayor is moro forvont, thu sermon moro
m press! vo. In a church in this city last
Sabbath morning, tho mlnistor said: "If
you want a dull, soulless, sormon from mo,
glvo mo poor music; if you want mo to do
tbo best I can, let mo hoar good, hoartfelt
muslo; it sots thowheolsof thought In mo
tion; It causes divine lovo to wall up in my
hoart; It helps mo to bottor understand and
explaiu Christ's teachings."
A110VK ALL THINGS,
Lot church muslo bo of tho host, lot tbo or

will wield a groater Influonco for good, causo

Musicians are apt to nlay.or sing all kinds of
rauBia tuo tamo, luoreuy losing mo pleasing
offecttho author Intended. When a waits Is
played in a sweet dreamy graceful manner
ono almost unconsciously UoaLs round and
round keeping time with the dollghtful
strains unmindful ot everything but tho
bllssrul prosont. A polka playod as it should
bo, makes ono merry and rockless, chasing
away the "bltto devils." Some ono has said
"On tho muslo of a nation deponds tho suc
cess of its armlos." Just bofore a battlo what
Inspires tbo soldlors to face death so boldly
but tho wild, war-llko martial muslo, whloti
onables both war-horse and rldor to reck
lessly, fearlossly, faco tbo tlrey cannon's
mouth. Nothing can stir tho heart of tho
Kronen soldier moro than tho Marseilles
hymn, and on this master composition alono
has ofton dopondod tbo succossof tho Kronch
ariulos. In our own country probably as
miioh of our success could bo attributed to
tho graud old airs, "Marching through Geor
gia," "Glory Ilallalujah" and "Star Spang
led liannor," as to gunpowdor and bayonets.
Our defeats, and homo torlous onos wo sus

For such times havo beou or will bo In tbo
lives of all or us. Young ladles and gentlo
mon, such muslo causes you to think ten
derly of tho abnont Hwootbearts, and old
maids aud old bachelors, it makes you wish
you had oue to think of.
Lot two playors perform tho name compo

musician, tho other anerrormlng machine,

of aweot sounds, there Is pootry -as well as

"Tho Mocking lllrd," poor thing, put It In

We havo never yot been ablo to understand
why music teachers should not be as thor
ough as teachers of mathematics, tram mar,
orthography or any other branch of educa
tion, yet very many persons seem perfectly
willing to trust their children's musical edu
cation to any person, whether they aro able
togiveanoxatnploof what thoy protend to
teach or not, Just so they can mako u confu
sion of noises or teach accompaniments to
some simple ballad; never once realizing tbo
fact that there is a dlllorenco between tho
cultivation of the voice, giving expietsion
in playing and singing, and merely being
able to go through tho words and notos. Hat
the subject grows upon us and we will stop
for tho present, but will refer to this Import
ant accomplishment, particularly as to how
to cultivate the musical talents given us, in
future communications. uilbkboabde,

The tlrst Russians who ontorod thought tho

where thoy stood at bay. Tho fighting was
all with the bayonot. Tho Turks Immedi

night: I left tho battlo field before Plevna
at noon yesterday, Tho two redoubts laken

Constantinople, Sept. 15. Tho graud vizier

Tho fighting beforo Plovna Is still proceed

army had attackod tbo Plovna lines and
woro ropulsod after dosporato fighting, losing

tho northeast of Plovna woro completely
routod with heavy loss, leaving nluo guns
and n largo quantity of arms and ammuni

London, Sopt. 15, Thoro is hardly room
for doubt that tbo week's opo rations about
Plovna did not result es favorably for the
Russian aud Roumanian army as It was ox
poctod in vlow of reports from Russian
sources. Tho brief Turkish bulletin about
affairs at Plovna reads that since Friday tbo
Russians havo mado continuous assaults,
but havo beon ropulsod. Wo havo recaptur
od tho two redqubts on Lavatz Avad which
rocoutly fell into tbo onomy'a hands. This
colnoldos with dotallod uarratlvos recolvod
and with lator Russian bulletins. Frlonds
of Russia havo reason to foar that tho capturo
ofthoGravlca rodoubt is muoh less signifi
cant than represented. If so, Oamau Pasha
may await his rolnforcemonts without fear
of further Immedlato molestation. Thoso re
inforcements are. according to a Vlonna dis
patch, already on tho way from Sofia, whence
tho most of tho reserves havo been sent across
the Balkans to Orohanl.
Mehemet All Pasha telegraphs that 10 bat

It Is notlcablo that Grand Duko Nicholas
