Mar- tin Luther says, "Ironotinceit openly : that after theology here is nothing ) that can be •compared ith sacred music; this only, like theolOgy, can give peace- ftil.minds and glad ome hearts." The t importance of the subjeet cannot be exaggerated. Som persons say the highest enjoyment Of the Sabbath day is the eloquent discourse ; others, that prayeedeniands oui first attention ;- but long after the mos eldqttent -Voice is hushed in the need1essness of preach- ing, and when pray rs are 110 more ne- oessary by reason o the hill enjoyment of all things, songs pf praise- will con- tinue to -be sung t1nough 'ail infinitude of, years:- If, then, so Mitch elaborate preparation is besto red upon the work of the pulpit, which, at most,continuee only for a few years, sur ly no less attention ,should be given to aln exercise in which thouiands of the pe ple take part, and Inch continues thro-ugh all eternity. We cannot. over estimate the impor- tance of the service lof song in, the house of th6 Lord.: 1 trust, therefore, that the e r marks which follow will lead. to iiicreased,effort and high resolve to ele- vate psalmody tie its true position. First, then, I would; ask the question, what are tNehindrences obstructing the way of psaltnody improvements ? Be- fore answering the question I would merely remark, that the snswersI will make are drawn_ fom not with this con egati from the many I, hive b with in the old weary The first hindrance I wo an unmusical' ministry. y experience, n alone, but en connected and in this. Id mention is • By far the ' majority of our rctinisters re musically ' nowhere, ansleven amongst • those who have some knowledge of the art thereds a painful indifferenee to everything that lies outside their own immediate work. At the same time the position qf a min- ister is one of suqh influence in the church that I pity the, poor precentor who should be so Unfortunate as to offie &fate where there is an mirnueical 'Min- ister, who, nevertheless, nriit have the control Of the psalreody. In the same category as these Unmusical ministers, I must mention as hindrances to suc- cess, crotchety deacons and elders, and whimsical monied men, who, though totally devoid cf musical ability, vil/ have a, finger in the pie, and so spoil the dish. In some eases the percentor is the hindrance. Ile is not . always a man of taste, and. censiders it his besi- 'less to produce the greatest liaise, sup- fiosing that to be 'the best means of leading a congregation, no matter whether the words be confession or adoration, meditative or jubilant. But the greatest hindrance, of all is the musical deadness of the congregation.. For the "service of song" and. the duty of praise have been well nigh forgotten in the house of the Jord. The duty of giving malted. voca1 1 expression to the, feelings of the Chris ia,n. heart bas often, in the history of the Christian church like other duties, fallen into neglect fora sea- son. In times of spiritual decay the songs of Zion have become a cold performance of the few, and. not the free vocal up- rising from every h.eart. In ; times of spiritual revival, hOwever, the revived people have ever returned the work of vocal praise to themselves. They at once felt it to be the natural expression Of God's love in the heart, ,and the means in return of inspiring elevated. thou ht and renewed grace. HoW much did Luther's Reformation—how much did that of Whitfield and WesleY owe to the soul -stirring power of a rel - viva' psalmody. What means oughb to be adopted in order to have our psalnaody revived? One of the best means of bhp:vying the =psalmody of any place of w rship is to, have at its head a rninistelrWi1O is warmly interest- ed in the subj ct, if not a singer and musician himself. In almost every case you, will find goocl singing where. theminister takes a lively interest in it, a,nd labors to promote it. Should he be positively inable to take the over- sight of -this m tter himself, he hould be a firm etipp rter of those who c n, and in no sense prove a stumbling bl ok to those who are giving themselves to -this special work. If congregations are to become interested in psalmody, there must also be an occasional sermon from the pulpit having a special bearing ou the subject. The congregation should be gathered together at least -once a week for the practice of psalmody. 'Also for the prectice of time, to mark the expression, and. study the words preparatory to the public worship of the Sabbath. ,Let none stay away on the plea that they cannot sing. Come, do what you cab.. Perhaps your vocal orr gans are stiff and. inflexible for the want of practice. Your ear that -is .now dull may be cultivated to enjoy bgyond what you ever felt, the power of praise. Be- sides, your: presence may influence others. Let the young people give 'up skating, balls, and parties for one night in the week during winter, and. come to the practice and prepare thmselves in voice and heart for the service of song on the Sabbath following.. To produce any permanent effect, minister, eld.ers, deacons, and people, old' and young, must make up their minds to give,' for at least two winters in succession, very large, steadfast, and devout attention to this important subject. Let us all en- deavor to lay our best gift on God's al- tar of praise. Let us do what we can to hasten the time when the aspiration of the sweet singer of Israel will be fully realised: "Let the people praise .thee, 0, God; yea, let all the people praise thee." • 11, The Attrill Salt Enterprise. In May of last year we devoted. some columns to an article descriptive of the sa,liferous strata which underlies the counties of Huron and Bruce, and. to the test borings made by Mr. H. Y. Attrill at Goderich :with the ordinary drill. These explorations; pursued to a depth of fifteen hundred feet, demon- strated the existence of beds of rock salt, beginning in the case of the first at a depth of 1,028 feet, 31 feet in thick- ness; second bed reached at a depth Of 1,058 feet, 25 feet in thickness; third. bed, 1' 127 feet, 34 feet in thickness; fourthbed, 1,223 feet, 16 feet in, thick- ness; fifth bed, 1,243 feet, 13 feet in. thickness; sixth bed, 1,385 feet, 6 feet in thickness. Giving a total thickness of salt, at a depth, at frpm. 1,000 to 1,400 feet belove the 'surface, of no less than 126 feet' befere the magnesian limestones of the Guelph formation were reached. Of these, the second and third beds, at say 1,100 feet depth, were found to be of exceptional purity, scarcely quarter per cent. of impities being detected by careful analysis. The plan laid down by the gentleman named, and which has been pursued for the past twelve months, by the use of diamond drills and steam appliances, has given employment to about 130 men, which implies, of course, a heavy expenditure of capital. It was to sink a shaft twelve feet in dianaeter to these beds, and thence to bring.Up the salt in masses; and. it was estimated that this d methowould enable the material to be brought to the surface at a cost of froin one-third to one-half that of the evaporation pr cess. • We now lean that after pursuing this enterprise o a, depth of 270 feet on the great scale sketched above, and in. the rnidst of increasing diffi.culty owing to the great flow of water, it has been found impracticable to make further progress, owing to the impossibility of freeing the shaft frotta water. All the. powerful pumps that could be got to work at the boring did. not suffice, and Mr. Attrill has been reluctantly forced. to eease operations for the present, till atrangements calculated. to oyercome the difficulty can be made. The stop- page of work throws meantime out of eniployment th force of meii named, and the delay i further to be regretted in the interest �f, Canadian industry. There is to be ad in Belgium, we un- derstand, born maehinerfavhich. -will work under w ter, all thither Mr. At - trill has gone t ascertain the capabili- ties of such machinery, and to procure it for his work. • We may suppose that he would not have resorted thither if appliances fitted. for the object in view had been procurable ni America. In any case we can admire the vigor and pluck which has been displayed. thus far in the Pursuance of the undertak- • ing, and.wish every success to the search for the aids sought. It is no slight undertaking to pierce a hole of the diameter of an ordinary lighthouse near a, quarter of a mile into ! the bowels of the earth; and we pre- sume that the expectation upon which Mr. Attrill's purpose to bore under wa- ter is based is, that the force of the flow wtll by and bye become exhausted, and thus enable mining -to be done with ordinary steara pumps to keep the mine free. The extent of the saliferous strata in that neighborhood, and the depth of rock salt that has been actual- ly shown to exilst at this point, through the solid corel brought up last year, point to a fature development of salt • production, end to its widely extended use in mannfectures. Canadians will look: 'with interest therefore for news of Re- view,. esi iiccessful further prosecution of the Attrill thaft.—Toronto Trade Re - The Mowing Match. The annual mowing match, under the auspices ef the Huron Farmers' and.

The ground said the crop in both cases were in good order fpr a fair test, the grass on Mr. Young' place being an especial- ly heavy crop.
