newt) of speccatoravery fair. The ex.
hibit, in Sheep was teeny fine; in Horses
passable in Cattle scercely ordinary

Music is God's gift. With this ,gift we
sing =His praise -in which there is holiness.
We are told that the angels in Heaven sing
around the throne for ever and ever. How
sweet their song: Even on earth, how sweet
it is for the people of God to meet together
and mingle their - oices in sweet song.
:How cheering, how revivintc to their -spir-
its ; there is nothing so sweet to theta.
But •
music is not given us in a cultivated
state—it ie ours to cultivate. The voice is
the raw material, which is to be elaborate=d
into an instrument of art; it ie therefore . a11-
important to begin with a competent teacher.
But it is not an easy task to find, out who is
competent to teach this important branch of
education, for many hide their ignorance be-
neath a cloak of trashy and comic song -singing
which degrade and deceive, (but music is in-
tended to elevate the mind.) In the first
place, liarents should know that the teacher
has a good moral character, also a christian,
forhis influence will befelt, Dither for goad or
bad. In the next °place, a teacher should
know something of the voice; for how many
voice s are ruined with wrong use ? I will
mention one particuIar—The voice is com-
posed of different registers, and whore those
registers' play into each other the voice is
weak. if those rem stere are forced beyond
their compass either way, the voice will soon
fail (at present they may appear firm and
`strong.) I can mention many who are 'using
tneir 'stokes just in the way I have mention.
ed. A teacher therefore should understand
this branch, and not ruinvoices. If any one
asks` ice what do I know more than others,
I answer t have Made it along study ; and
the knowledge I have has cost me hundreds
of dollars besides time The exercises that 1
teach for the development of the lunge, tells
wonderfully for the voice and Health: I pur-
prase orgenisintt a class i.i Seaforth, to teach
this branch, as well as give private lessons.
I have a number of statements in my posses-
sion, from ministers and vocalists, to the ef-
fect that their health has been greatly im-
proved, the volume of their voices been al-
most doubled ; - a;ao two or three notes have
been added to the upper and lower registers
of their voiced with those exercises. I
hope all lovers of music and speakers, also
lovers of the advancement of 'science, will
give this afavorable consideration.
lin . D. TROTT.
An Flooentrio Minister.
The Rev, Mr. C. was troubled 'with
veryexcitable nerves. Being an incur-
able old batchelor, perhaps this was not
so very surprising, . since thisdisease is
known to be extensively prevalent
among old maids.. For example ---he
could not see the hack of a cat stroked
the wrong way, while the sight of a spi-
der most effectually disturbed his eq ua-
nimity.
One Sunday, while absent on an ex-
change, he hoard from the pew n ea: the
pulpit, a boy sniffing as if he were
troubled with a severe cold, acid riot
troubled with a hetankerchief. `` His
brother sat' beside him. Mr. C. kap-.
pened to know the boy's name. lie
bore with this irritation as long as his
nerves would permit,, uut 'it became so
aggravated that he pajtised in the midst
of a hymn he was readizrg, and' bending
over the pulpit,. said- ,
"John, why don't you use your
pocket -handkerchief l'
John, abashed by this unexpected ad-
dress, and by the fact that the eyes of
the whole congretation were fixed upon
him, starnmeted out to the general
arnusement--
" Please, sir, I haven't got none."
• Then why doe't you borrowT oer
brother's ?" resurned the minister.
• Bo -cause, sir, he hasn't got any
either," pursued the frightened boy.
The audience were convulsed.
" Will sores person, charitably. dis-
posed," remarked tthe minister, in a sol-
emn tone, provide that boy with a
handkerchief ?" .
This was done end the services pro-
ceeded.

I3esoreption of the -Wallace Monu-
ment.
Since a national monument bas been
erected to one of the bravest of Scottish
patriots, the propriety of perpetuating
the name and valiant deeds of Wallace
in stone an 1 lune in tris enlightened
century, need not be caped in question.
A. Wallace monument, suffice it to -sty,
at a .cost of nearly £14,000, has been
erected on the Abbey Craig, near Stir
ling, and it was formally inaugurated' a,
short time ago.
The history of the Wallace monument
is fraught with many misfortunes and
difficulties, extending over a period of
at least eighty years ; but the reproach
which threatened Scotland has been re
moved, and the Wallace cairn has been
almost completed. The appearance of
the monument is of an imposing chant:.
tier. It is situated on the highest point
'of the Abbey Craig, which is at least
340 feet above the level of the sea, and
is seen on all sides from a great dis-
tance. The design consists of a Sottish
baronical tower, 220 feet high and 36
feet squate. The walls are massive
being 18 feet thick at its base. and how
5 to 6 at its thinnest part. At the east
side of the tower is a lodge for the ward
er, and an open court yard, entered byy
are:hed • gateways with bold: mouldings,
separates the main building from the
warder's dwelling. Above the outer
gateway are the Wallace. arras,
mounted with a large Scotch thi
Passieg through the gateway in
stone -arched . pas,ae, a series of s
lead to an open octagonal winding
ejise, projecting from the south-west
gle of the tovrer, and t unning up ne
its entire length. Arrowlets pierce
walls of the staircase .. at intervals
most to the summit of the tower
bold cable mouldings, with mous
angles, bind the waits externally.
staircase forms the approach to sev
spacious and lofty;halls, designed
the display of armor and antiquar
relics. On reaching the top of the st
there is bartisan parapst five
Lbick, and protected on the outside
a parapet wall six feet wide, and eig
een feet thick. On going around'
four ,sides of the parapet the barb
platform is reached, an open space
about 25 feet square, paved with lata
flags, and protected on the outside b
lee- parapet consisting of large ba
surmounted by a moulded cope.
iie pe, ial crown forms 'the apex of t
monument.'' This'coronal top is upwa
of seventy.feet high, and - compris
eight arms' from the elegies and sid
all converging to the centre, and fo
ing a series of richly moulded and flyi
buttresses.. This building is of ti•eesto
with the exception' of the interior al
packing, which is of whinstone.
From a financial staeement it app
ed that the sum of £12,962 16s Sd'ha
been subscribed. Advances have bee
_made l y the building committee to th
-sum £712 9s `10d, while'there was
credit accountin the bank of £214
10d, thus making on the income .side
total of X13,401 1 s 84. This total su
it appeared, h98 been expended on th
building.—Stzrltng ctr. London Post.

AN INSANE BRIDEGROOM.—Recently
a wedding party arrived at the Delev-
an House, Albany, from Lake George.
They were from New -York and bad
been on a tour of about a week's dura-
tion. The married con* wee accom-
p t.n red by a sister of the beide and some
other at,quaintances, aq all seemed
happy enough until they reached Alb-
any: During the day the bridegroom
inanifested a deep repugnance to his
wife. He threatened to use her vio-
enily if she carne near hien. His
5
strange conduct led his friends to think
he was insane, and this idea was
strengthened by the fact that he lied
leen in the same condition four or five
years ago. All attempts to reconcile
the man to his wife were in vain. No
one could quiet him at all except the
i,ride's sister. When she carne ` Dear
hini he would sit down and cease -to be
boisterous for a time. He rapidly grew
� grew
worse, however, and in the e venin
g
locked himself in his room, and threat-
ened to shoot any b ..dy who might
make the . attempt to enter. His
friends were aliarmecl at this state of
affairs, and ; called upon Mr. Leland
to interfere. He did so, and wart
compelled. Jo force' the door before
i
gacin g admittance. The man was
found to be raving crazy. More help
was called for, and after a desperate
struggle the insane man was bound
)with cords to prevent- him from do
ing iujury to himself and others. The
whole party took the night train
for New York. The bride was in-
consolable on accotint of the misfor-
tune of her husband. She Wept bit-
terly, and her friends and others who
saw her, feared that she too might
become insane. Altogether, it was a
sad ending of a honeymoon.
