The Music of Nature, by A. Wm. Silloway. You
will find the papers at the P. O.; commencing with
this number.—The Happy Man, An Epitaph ona

There is a quaintness about the latter piece, exceed-
ingly rich, im our opinion. A Wife's Heart Utter-
ances, and .O!. Keep the Vow, by Mrs. J. H. Hana-

Music accepted —Waiting for Love, by, William O.
Fisk. Quite a pretty composition; the author's best
production. —The Rover’s Graye, by J. G. Clark.
This is a wild, ringing melody, and possesses the
jingle to give it popularity. We have seen 1 nothing

We. thank the author for his compliments, and al-
‘though we recollect the ‘* suckumstance,” modesty

Who blames her for jilting you, Frank, if you did
not talk better than you write?——Skepticism, A
Declaration, Peter Pindaric, Lines Written by a
Young Man at the Grave of his Deceased Mother.
These four articles, by Goodwyne T., seem entirely
unlike the three accepted this week, by the same au-
thor. Goodwyne can write well. He must try hard-
er, and write less, and he will be known; and here-
after he must do what all writers must for our col-
umns, [> cover one side only of each leaf of paper.
——Our Barber’s Shop is not suitable for our col-
umns.——Know Something vs, Know N. othing. Too
little point in it.
To ALL ConTRIBUTORS.—Do not send us articles,
prose or poetical, which are not first rate. We have
volumes of fair, ordinary matter, and only want
your best. That, and no other, we desire hereafter.
_| All authors are earnestly requested to write their
manuscripts legibly, and pay careful atteation to
proper punctuation and paragraphs. Many contribu-
tions are at once rejected, becanise these necessary
rules are disregarde

dred singer rs, and the effect produced was
beyond the power of description. At their
Sabbath evening concert, while they were
singing, “ Thou art’ our Father,” a lady at
our side—an enthusiast in music—wiped
the rolling tears from her cheeks, and ex-
claimed, sotto’ voce, “ O, how-beautiful! It
geems‘as if we were in heaven, surrounded | ,
by the happy angels, singing praises to God.
And when they, all turn the large leaves of
their books together, it seems as though t the
angels were clapping their wings with very
joy that God permitted; himself to be thus
praised and blessed.’ There were many
tears peeped forth while this piece was be-
ing performed, and stronger marks of appro-
bation cannot be given..-We must here, |”
however, express our surprise that the Pro-
fessors introduced, at these concerts, solo
singers of such common ability... They
could not have been influenced by any other | -
motive than a desire to please them or their
friends—with’ unmusical ears. -In choruses
or chants these singers appeared to good ad-
vantage, having strong voices; but in per-
forming a difficult or delicate cadence, they
moved with about the same grace as a lob-
ster climbing a ladder. We were surprised
at the Professors’ decision in this matter,
knowing their usually good taste, tact, and
talent; but the best will err at times. For
a female singer to give satisfaction to a Bos-
ton andience, as a solo performer, she must
be far above mediocrity ; and those who are |.
not so, and have not the judgment to know
it, should upon no consideration be allowed
by their teachers to appear disadvantageous-
ly before the public. Our remarks do not,
of course, apply to all the solo performers.
Some of them were excellent.
