CHURCH MUSIC.
The following is an extract front a Dissert-
ation on Musical Tusle, by THOMAS HAST,
INGS. Itii worthy of perusal by those who
take an interest in the sultjcct of which i'
treats. ,
Clitiich music is tistially perfornied either
by a congregation lii(llSCl'IlIiitiiil.l£ly, by" a "choir
only, or by a choir and coiigregiitiori united ;
and in each oftlrese methods, iris,trtiiiteiits are
in some iustaiices cinployed, and 'in others re-
jecied».
Tlic real fact is, that there is in general but
-air iiicoiisiderable poriioii ofa congregation
l that ever attempt it; and ifwe were to dedtict
'-front these, all who are not sufficiently fur-
nislicd by natiire,oij who will not be by ctilii-
vation, with the power ofsinging with propri-
aty, it would then becorire a subject iif inquiry,
whether the little rciiraiiiiiig band of singers
otiglit, by dispersiiig theniselves, to depreciate
their own style of perforniauce, and subject
ilieinselves to various personal einbairass
merits and iiitert'uption.~:, _when at the satire
iinie, by collecting iogetlier, they might be a-
ble to sing itiore to their own cdilicatiou, as
well as to that of a large majority ofthcir att-
ditors. A plausible apology for this st_vle of
tinit'i:igcnierit, has been grountled on the idea,
that there is ‘a peculiar S()l'.‘tlll'iiiy in the cir-
cumstance ofsongs issuing froiu every part of
a nuuierous assenibfy.
But where these songs are irregular and
dis~'onant,one. might expect to realize dis-
tractionand lllSt?Ollip0Slll'l§ from them, railier
than soleuinity. Our feelings of solciniiity.
too, so far as extcrnals are concerned, are of
ten the l'8.‘Ull of mere habit : and certainly,
when they lead us to adopt a course of titan-
tigetiieiit, that has a tendency to destroy the
[lf':t(‘llCill utility of an important lllSlllllllOlI.
they should be impartially examined before
they are siiii'ered to govern our decisions.
Now that this course of tiianageinent niust
tie(:e.~‘tilil_y liavc such a teiidency, has been al-
is evident from coniuioii observation. At a
churcli wlrerc the singing has been long coir-
ducied without ti ciroir, the congregutiuii still
'£,’lnHlll silent and attentive during prayers,
and hi scriiionltiirie, and even wliilc- reuclirzg
it psalrri or liyiiiii.—-but not ,'.~O.\\'llil0 singing
it——iiot so during that part of the service
\\ liicli has for its express ohjectltlic iiicr'cr1si7ig
or pcrpr_liiulirig' the general iirtcrest of what
ll.i.\jlla't bran. re/id. \\’hcrc the absence of
noise, too, is above all iliings ireccssary to the
aict_-oiriplisliiiteut oftliisobject, noise is most
izbtiritifiiril. To say nothing of the gciiurai
syiripi-.iiii‘s of iestlcssiitrss, during the "cxcrcisc
tifsit:_r_{iiig,tli;it denote rclaxatioii, instctid of
iricreasing attention, this time, above all oth-
crs, it sceiiis, is selected for the nunieiotis
noisy ofiices ofa sexton; for iiidividtials to
enter or to leave the clirirclr ; and, on a sol-
cirin Si’tCl’2llllCiili|l occasion, for the co iirintitri-
cards to select their seats, and for a more nu-
iiterous part of the assembly to retire. lu-
stances iiriglit be mentioned, too, where cori-
tributions are taken tip during the exercise oi’
siiiging. Now iftlie majority ofa congrega-
tion h i(l nor, in sortie measure, lost sight oi
the real oi-ject ofsucred music, is it possible to
believe that such things as these would be suf-
ferctl ?—--and he suffered, too, where the drill-
culty oi“ preserving an appropriate style ofex-
t’.CUll(.)ll is pre-eriiiiiently great ? In what es-
timation might a congregation be supposed tti
iiold the EXt:l‘Cl.\‘£’- of prayer, if instead of lis-
tening to it,tney were to niake it the _sigirai
of restlessness, inatteution, or norsc—ior tltc
re"-riroval or dispersion of every individual in
the house ? Surely such facts as these ougiit
to speak lotidly to the uiitlcrstatitliiig of every
serious and iiirpzirti'.ii inquirer. We are ready
to adiriit, that where practices, that are merely‘
’l’liL‘t';7ll?L’7i?:(:Ii't'., have been long sanctioned by
custoiir, it may be best for us to endure thcni ;
for ll|lllBCC:'-iilly innovations should doubtless
be discouraged: but let its beware ofsaticiiuii-
tug abuses. Regzirdiiig the sacred intcrcsts
r'i'tlie institution, let us not presume to sub-
stitute our own opinions for the precepts arid
the iiijiiiictious of a written revclatioii iioiii
l-leavcn. Facts may soiiietiuies speak so
plainly as to do away the necessity oi labored
itrgtttiieiiis -; and lit the picsciit tirsiuiicc, their
tiiipori is beyutiti cotrti'oi-ei‘sy'. We questioir

the iltllSlC is generally expressive ofits effects;
inucli less, where it (.UiilIttl|tS to be so : but on

The ad’veiititio'its and oi'n'-imental qualities
of style. itriless accomptiiiicd with at distinct
and impassioned eiitinciation, tiitist have it
tendency to divert our attention truth the sub-
jcct ofsong: and though those qualities are
not always to be met with in i:saliirutly', yet
where every one may claim his individual
privilege of singing, we may expect to be oc-
casionally incoiirnioded by thenr—oi' at least
by such rude irnitations of them as are still
less desirable.
None ofthe stiperior cxccllciicics of style.
can be expected i() exist under these Cll‘Clllll-
stances: atid it scciiis to us almost titrati-
couiitable, that so large and so respectable a
portion ofthe Cliristiaii 'cu'iiiintiiiity .~hoii|d
be tound to prefer this irretl-rod of coiitluctitig
so iuiportarit a part of public worship. Cer-
tain it is that the rrictliod must appear more
t«li.-feciivc, in proportion as srcular intisic ad
vairces, aird a more general kiiowlctlgc ofthe
science prevails.
It tvill, however, be olijectcd by sortie who
dissent front us in opinion, that long estab-
lished usage creates tor this inetliotl. oi Slllgllig
a partiality, which soniewliat conipensates for
the want oi'skili'ul ersccutiou.
Bill.-sllll it q_tiestioii'ai'isc:~:, whether this par-
tiality ever. arnoutits to any thing, that can
sufliciently atone for the absence of real ex-
juession ;. or that can iiiake a style that is
palpablytit-ticterit, so ltii' uppearto bc expres-
sive to a iirajority ofa congicgatioti, that they
shah actually l'.tiilllZ'B lr-uni-it t-he lcgxitiiiiiilc
¢;[]i:cls»oi sacred music :. and if it-docs not, (as
experience suiiiciently proves,), it their affords
of itself a conclusive argument against the ob-
to the subject that unavoidably ensues.
And aduiitting that a coiigicgaitrou under
such ciicuiiistuticcs ofdccleiisioii, becoine at
length convinced that some relortnatioii oi
style is necessary ; and that ii respectable
nuiiibcr of tntiiiitltials actually receive ade-
quate lllsllliclltril ; yet, we liar-c seen, that by
ii|.‘[)Cl'.‘llig, tlicinscivcs, they will have to per-

iar ciiibai‘t'as’s:iieiit. For niairy others that

Such indeed, is the uniioriii history of their

any thing which tends inure to the improve-
ment rifa town, than a fair and lil « ral sup-
port ali'orded to ,li1(‘.CllilnlcS of every descrip-
tion. Popirlatiou is necessary to the prosper-
ity oftown or coiintry, and that population
being ofatt honest and industrioiis cliaracter,
renders prosperity more certain, iiniforiir, and
nnvarying. Scarce any place" has ever yet
risen to much iinportancc, even wlieri posses-

cliaridize, may form the leadin;_r, features of
such a place; the various arts of urechanisin
are invariably called in requisition, and are
indispensable to render the progress of corri-
iiicrcial opeiatitiirs safe and easy ; to an iii-
laiid town, niccliaiiics are equally iuiportaiit
as elsewhere. They constitute a large and
respectable portion ofsociety. in all countries;

almost a lcatliiig constittieiit pari of their

Fruit Trees.-—Tlie new nietliod ofraising
fritit trees by planting the Scions, is a great
desideratuiir in the art of obtaining choice
fruit. It has rriany advantages over grafting
because it is inure expt-ditious and requires no
stalk or tree.-, They may be planted where
they are retpiired to stand ; and the labor oi
:i rirau for one day will be sufticieiit to plant
out enougli fora large orcliard after the scions
are obtained. Tire method of prepariiig the
platit is as follows. Take the scioiis as ll)!‘
engrafiing, and at any tiiue after the first of
li‘cbruary and till the buds begin to grow con-
siderably, and dip each etrd of the shoot in
uielted pitch or wax, rosin and tallow,
and bury it in the ground, the buds
upperiirost, whilst the body lies in a horizon-
tal position, and at a depth of two or three
inches. VVe are iiiforined that trees obtained
in this way will bear in three or fouryears
frotii the time of pla ntiug. We have no doubt
ofthe practicability oftliis method ofraisiiig
fruit. Doctor Paige, of this village, planted
about twenty scioiis oi dili'erent kiiitlsofpcziizs,
the middle ofJuly, two of which are now in
full blossom at the Sll_rfrit3e of the ground and
appear lloiriisiiing I '1‘he coinpositinii he used

Whenever a branch ofa tree is either blight-
ed or eaten by insects, take a slroeinakei’s awl
and pierce the lower part of the branch into
the wood, then pour in ‘:1 drop or two oi quick-
silver, and strip ttic link: with it snialt piece oi
wood. In it day or two, all the insects, not
only upon that braiicli-., but upon. the rest or
ilie branclies, will tall and die, and the blight
will cease.

This is clearly illustrated in the following

When he was taken prisoner at Montreal,

twelve C-aiiarliatis uith hiin, wiioin when the
I}riti.~.lr Coloricl saw, he ordered to be para-
ded and shot as rebels, witlrotit furtlii.-r cere-

liiiu, and opening his breast, said, “Iain the
sole cause ofthose fcllows taking tip arms a-
gainst their king ; and now, here is my breast,
put your bullets thro’ my heart, and let these
rneti live.” Upon licariiig this appeal, the
colonel hesitated a tnoiiicnt and l.l|cl) said—-
“ I will not kill you now, but you shall grace
ii haltar at Tybiirii in England, dairiii you :”
and as to the tivelie tneu, their lives were
spareil, and the colonel sent tlietii liotiie to
their fainilies. Allen was taken to Eiiglaiitl,
and aftewartls back to New York, where he
was excliangeil. \Vliile he was at New York
