IMy dear Boy/ writes my Lidy, I am surprised indeed that you should tnilfß, 'un of my dovofcion. to •■■h" hmora tatid dua« p*«, two despised ar'iclpa mort condncivo «o doraestfo comforts thim fidrllw «tid bow can ever b« I 8p"« lin{j o? musical instruments have you Hff-n and h«ard the pUnok ? What do ym think of it ? VVjil it Bupprsedfl Pianoforte playing hs we have known it, and render ir,g music teachers * superfluous quite V 1 think not* No doubt the little instrument (if such it should be called) is a most carious and interesting invention, & |»e?feot; little marvel of contrivance and ekill, bill isn'6 our piano (as at present Constituted at least) inadequate enough to express * feeling/ without removing It another degree from the hand of the performer? Isn't it true that the nearer you can bring the soul of the performer to the soul (if I may %& allowed io to term the sounds latent within the pipes or strings) of his in- Btniraent, fche greater the pleasure d« rived from the music it mtkne. I think moat educated ears prefer the violin to the piano, and the Imsp to the violin ; the finders Said upon the strings carry emotion much more directly thaa by bow keys from the musician to his hearer. When mse pandora the * fairy tales of •oience,' regarding the realms of the air, when one reads Ediaon's dazzling romances of the marvels of sound and its communication to mortal sou la, one wonders whether it will ever be poa feibl© for one soul to make melody to another without the intervention of any Instrument at all. I mast transcribe something I read lately about the ear, written by a ' Grand Master' of the «mbjeet. He esays 'we know far less about the ear fcb»n the eye." The eye is a single chamber open to the light, aodl we can see into it and observe what happens there. But the ear is many chambered, and its winding tun nels traversing the rock-like bones of the skull are narrow, and hidden from tii as the dungeons of a castla are ; like which, also, they are totally dark. Thus much, however, we know, that it is in the innermost recesses of thche tmiliaiLioated ivory vaults tbat the mind is made conscious of sound. Into these gloomy cplls, as into the bright obamber of the eye, the eoul is ever passing and asking for news from the wbr'd without , and ever and anon, as of old iti hidden subterranean caverns, where men listened in silence and darkness to the utterance of oraolts, reverberations echo along the resound ing wnllst aad responses come to the waiting spirit, whilst the world lifts up its voice and speaks to the soul. The louiad ii Ibat of a hushed voice, a low but clear whisper; for as it is bat a dim shadow of the outer world we see, co it is but a faint echo of tha/oafer world we bear. Bud), then, is the ear ; and it is in some < respects a more human organ than the eye, fur it is the counter part c! the human voice ; and it is a sorer affliction to be cut of! from listen ing to the songsters of our foliowmen s thae it is to be blinded to the sights on which they gaze. It is an organ which we can worse bSord to lose than tbe eye, aod one therefore which should be «H the more cared for, It is still more sus ceptible of education than the eye, and can be educated more quickly. Thus » lore of music is much more frequent than a love of painting or sculpture ; and you will reach tho hearts and touch the feelings of tha majority of mankind more quickly by singing them a song, than by showing them a picture. Now, is it not a thing to be deeply lamented, that the sensitive ears with which al most everyone of us bos been gifted by God, are so little educated that they might as well be stuffed with tow, or plugged with lend, for »ny good use we make c£ thorn? To be sure we kepp them sufficiently open to hear all the gossip about v?, and o<in ? most of us tell when the cannons are firing ,* bat as for training them to that exquisite sense of melody or harmony of which they are susceptible. How few do it! Oar conceptions of the domain of the ear are exalted by or nsideratioa of wlut baa boen stated, especially when we add the fact that aofc merely a twopart or a foorpart eong, bat the most com plex harmonies peiformed by the largest band may be heard by I single ear. Picture to yourself the contrast between a great orchestra containing hundreds of performers and instru ment a, and that small music room built of ivory, no bigger than a cheirystonp, which we call an ear, where there is ample accommodation for all of them io play together. The players, indeed, and their instruments, are not admit ted. Bat what of that if their music be! N*y, if you only think of it, what we call a musical performance, i», after all c bat the last rehearsal. The true performance fa within the eai'a music room, and each one of us baa the whole orchestra to himself—when we thus realize the wondrous capabilities of the organ of hearing, I thick we shall not fail to find an intellectual and eestbeticai as well as a great moral admonition in tbe Divine words, " He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

The Father of Wellington Eighty-eight Years of Age; Cured of Rheumatism One Bottle Made the Cure. Ayer's Sarsaparilla Mr. John Plimmer, of Wellington, New Zealand, sends us liis photograph, irom which tho above illustration was made. He is known as the "Father of Wellington." He is eighty-eight years of age and one of the best-kuown residents of the city. His letter, which we give below, was written in a strong, clear, bold hand. He says : "I consider Dr. Ayer'a Sarsaparilla a ereat remedy for tho rheumatism. I hnd «nfl"erert from that painful disease for many year 3. I was asked to try Dr. Ayer's Sareaparllla and ho I purchased a bottle. This one bottle of it cured me and I have not felt tho slightest return of the trouble since. I always keep a bottle of it in the house, for I ilud it a very refreshing remedy for many conditions." After reading this letter you are certainly not surprised that in all parts of the civilized wort"; people call Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla "The World's Greatest Family Medicine*" This gr ~-t remedy takes out all poisons from tho system ami male:. 1? the blood pure and rich.
