INSTITUTE.
Vocal maueio has already assumed a
somewhat exalted position ia some of
our schools, and the fact of ite forming
part ef the plogrararne of studies is
evidence of the interest and importance
tnapiGsted in its iutroductien. Now
before We go any ftirther, the question
arises, whits is music ? We would ,say
10 reply that music consists of a variety
of agreeable sounds produced by the
human 'voie or proceedieg from a mus-
ioal instrument so as to produce melody
or havutony, in other words, to form a
tune or sir, ad sounds which are more
or deas'ageeeabte to the ear, acoording
as theyase.composed of concords or dis-
cords. We wilt mow consider its objects
and the benetteeesulting from its study
and ptaetute. Mime's' is calculated to
inspire feelings of true devotion: when
engaged in the duties of religion,and to
to offer a delightful and refined species
of pleasure in our own lighter
home. That end and ear smut cer-
tainly be deed and dulled to the effects
of music when heteters the sweet peals
of the organ and /choir in our own
churches, and deem ,notineagine bier

have a taste for, and, to dee another

some individnale have these qualities
in a higher degree than othsrs. but it

t.y to certain extent. I will here give
yon a little experience in this matter.
In the 3 nt 8•01(001 1 taught, my prede.
esosor, who wits e. yoluee lady and a
charming singer, was in the habit of
conducting Hinging exercises, and the
school being composed chiefiy of the
German element. who are not only
fond of singing but good singers, 1 was
informed would be greatly diseppointed
if the singing was discontinued. Now
what ens 1 to do ? I couldn't sing
worth a cent, nor oan 1 yet ; but, for
tunately, I could play the flute aud
cornet. So 1 eonclnded to lend the
einaine with the cernet, and I am intp•
py to 8ny that, being a novelty, and
finding that they could accommodate
their voices to the instrument, the ex
perinient was n, decided sticcess. The
next, thing under coneideraticin will be
the method of teaching music. We will
here submit the gnestion. Is it ndvie.
able to attempt to teach by note ? Wo
think not, for this reason : that owing
to the multiplicity of subjects required
to be tanght, NVO have not the time suf.
Solent to devote to it which ite impor-
tance demands. We must content not -
selves with teaching them to sing' by
eine and that can be eccompliehed by
first getting them to 108110 the words of
the piece,if they have it pot in their
book ; then the tune, by hnving their
attentien while we sing or play ite a
little at a time, and oft repeated, until
they eet a good idea of it, and it is
wouderhil how (illicit they can pick it

went of those teachers who hall° 8108,
for want of practice io the vooal or in-
strumental muslin introduced this plea-
sant exercise, we would say, ask your
ptipile to favor you by singing some
familiar piooe thev Inv have iearued at
Sunday -school, and you will find they
will only be tooglad of the opportunity,
for there are few but are in the habit of
singing, particularly those who attend
Sabbathanthool, and while they are
singing you can accompany them in a
low tone, till by degreee yon will got
so interested in it that you will find
yourself singing out as loud as the best
of them, and wonder why you did not
try it long before. It is pleasant to
notice the effect produced when you re-
quest yonr pupils to lay aside their
books and prepare .for singing; how
cheerfully they will comply, their eyes
in the meantime sparkling witb delight
in anticipation of the pleasure it will
afford them, and you will observe by
the way they brace themselves in their
settee with their breasts brOjeoting and
heads thrown backwards, particularly
the little folks, that they are ready for
a burst, and bound to go at it with all
their might to see who eau sing loudest
or make the most noise, 'Well, don't
check them for making a noiee—they
like it, and it does them good. On sueh
occaesious we have frequenty been
forced to quit playing and iudulge in a
fit of laughter. With regard to the

will differ. lint we would have the

a moral nature, and the introduction
into the school -room of such songs as
tend to mere levity,frolio or idle mirth,
or such as are low, coarse, or vulgar iu
thought or langue,tre ismost deeply to
be regretted. Our school books fur-
nish some excellent pieces,and also the
Sabbath -school hooks. and in addition
to these we would have some temper-
ance songs to impress on their young
minds the danger of indulging in the
nee of intoxicating drinks, some of loy-
alty, perseverance, &c.; songs that will
delight and cheer them when they leave
the seboal room and go out into the
world to share in, joys and sorrowa,
trials and responsibilities, and enable

conclude, by quoting an extract from
the writings of et distinguished educat-
ionist in proof of the charms of music
to Booth the savage breast. Leaning
idly over a fence a few days since, we
noticed a little fouryears old lord of
creation, amusing himself in the grass,
by watching the frolicsome flight of
birds, whieh wore playing around hitn,
A.t length a beautiful boholtnk perched

preparing to throw it. steadying him-
