preferable to that of the greatest and richest man here present: for the fire of our minds is like the fire which the Persians burn in the mountains,-it flames night and day, and is immortal and not to be quenched! Upon something it must act and feed,-upon the pure spirit of knowledge, or upon the foul dregs of polluting passions. Therefore, when I say, in conducting your understand ing, love knowledge with a great love, with a vehement love, with a love coeval with life; what do I say but love innocence-lore virtue-love purity of conduct-love that which, if you are rich and great, will sanctify the blind fortune which has made you so, and make men call it justice,-love that which, if you are poor, will render your poverty respectable, and make the proudest feel it unjust to laugh at the meanness of your fortunes,-love that which will comfort you, adorn you, and never quit you; which will open to you the kingdom of thought, and all the boundless regions of conception, as an asylum against the cruelty, the injustice, and

LESSONS IN MUSIC.-No. XVI.

By JOHN CURWEN.

Our pupils will diligently study the three following tunes, in order to recognise perfectly and familiarly the mental effects of TE and RAY. It will be encouraging to those who have faithfully followed our course thus far, to know how much of the journey they have yet to travel. The present lesson will be followed by one on the varieties of the human voice, which will be illustrated by four songs arranged for three voices.

EXERCISE 33.

the pain that may be your lot in the outer world,-that which will make your motives habitually great and honourable, and light up in an instant a thousand noble disdains at the very thought of meanness and fraud! Therefore, if any young man here have embarked his life in the pursuit of knowledge, let him go on without doubting or fearing the event;-let him not be intimidated by the cheerless beginnings of knowledge, by the darkness from which she springs, by the difficulties which hover around her, by the wretched habitations in which she dwells, by the want and sorrow which sometimes journey in her train; but let him ever follow her as the angel that guards him, and as the genius of his life. She will bring him out at last into the light of day, and exhibit him to the world comprehensive in acquirements, fertile in resources, rich in imagination, strong in reasoning, prudent and powerful above his fellows, in all the relations and in all the offices of life.-Sydney Smith.

Next will come a lesson on the deeply-interesting subject of transition or "modulation," illustrated by several short pieces arranged for four voices. The subject of "minor" tunes and "the minor scale" will follow. And then "notation," with all the mysteries of "signatures" and "clefs" will be easily explained and mastered. The lessons will conclude with as full a treatment of the subject of melody and harmony as our space will allow. A few short glees will illustrate the closing lessons. Take courage, then. You have already trodden the most difficult part of the road.

As it is not the same to the bird, whether it is (finds itself) in the cage, or in the open air, so likewise can it not be the same to a nation, whether it is in slavery or in freedom. This with me excels everything. To the upright nothing is better
