voice ? not heard."-DAVID. often have the poets-Ne tn re's inted High Priests-sang in Dember* the power of soul .ansie! How beaut ?full j they if? one of the highest effects of eri the/ so much love, when they its own sweetest melodies in ng praties to the , Di vi ni ty of j celebrated British poet gives ns a ? illustration of this ides, when he ef tie power of music over the nd of Alexander. No wonder BB ?'W!ih ravbdud ear? The monarch hear?, Atenme* th? God Affect? to nod, 4 j* .* And ie? ui . to eh a ko tho ?tphere?. " ? It moy bo ono of our fancies, but we ^^atnnot help feeling that the power of ^poetry over tho mind of the old Greek ; was beautifully and truthfully shown by rj the fact, that in his Theology, the Goa Who guided the sun in his course was the 5 Same who presided in the realm ol music. ''The glorious son of Te us, who sent the .. Orb of light and warmth to cheer tho -mateiial world with his lifo giving beams, also kindled the perpetual fires Of genius ou the altar of the poet's heart) end, with mugio touoh called forth the enchanting, harmonies of tho musician's soul. Tho most brilliant philosopher of thit> ; eontufy has paid so beautiful a tribute to this wonder working power, that we feel inclined to love him, as we rend his glowing words:-"It excels in trans? porting to tho feet of eternal mercy tho soul trembling on tho wings of repen? tance, hope and love. Happy are those who at K?mo, tn the Vatican, during the solemnities, of the Catholic worship, have heard the melodi?s of Leo Durante end Pcrgolesi, on tho old consecrated . text. They have entered heaven for a moment, and their souls huvo been able . to ascend thither without distinction of | -rank, country, even belief, by those in? visible and mysterious steps, composed, thus to speak, of all the simple, natural, universal sentiments, thut everywhere on earth draw from the bosom of the haman creature a sigh towards another World." But if such be the power of music over the mortal bciug, whose ear is deadened, aud whose heart is hardened by the awful reign of sin, whut must be tho untold aud inconceivable harmonies of that pure world, where no jarring discords are allowed to enter, and no Untuned instrument is suffered to mar the melody of the angelic choir I It is not a subjeet fur reasoning, but ve feel that we could have given an answer to thc mathematician who after reading "Paradise Lost," asked con? temptuously " What docs it prove ?" It proves tho power of poetry aud the sway of nong j thc hat mon,, ? heaven, and tho horrors of hell; the grandeur of genius and the glory oe God. Yet far bcyoud this wondrous power is that of the unheard melodics, of Whioh the truly tender and sensitive soul will sometimes catch unwritten snatches, lt is sod, yet swoct to re? member that the great composer Beetho? ven, who enchanted the world with bis glorious productions, was himself stono deaf, and when, in reading over his own grand pieocs his soul seemed ravished with delight, the untaught people who witnessed the touching scene wondered that ho could appreciate thc music. They kuew not tho great truth that tho fond mother, Genius, knows her offspring intuitively, and delights in tho children ef her own- rearing, iu whatever manucr they may bo prcseuted to her. She fondles tho in her bosom, presses thom passionately to lier own throbbing, swelling heart, with such delight aa only thc mother can know. It ono door of her house is closed by thc ruthless hand ef Misfortune, she hastens to throw opcu another through which her loved ones may gladly conic in und exult in the gushing tenderness nf a fond moth? er's heart. The eur of Beethoven was closed forever, but bid eyo was slill open and through this window of tho soul did his music float, and stir his heart to injuost depths. Docs any one say, "Ibis is tho very coinage of your brain ?"-thc d ronni of au untutored fancy? Wo. might reply iu thc language ol a child of genius, t hat wo ure writing "lo those who feel .rather tlmn to those who think-to the dreamers, and those who put faith iu dreams a.s in thu o:?l\ reali? ties." . Yet if wc need witnesses to the glo? rious truth of unheard music, hero they come trooping up almost unbidden. Hero is Poe, with "thoughts that wun? der through eternity," tollina us "that .'Tho orchestra breathe*, fitfully The music of ibo sphere*," Tbomus Carlylo, with his deep, mu? jr-ptic earnestness, testifies to thc existence of "Sphcro Harmonies." Higher' still. Shakspearo wrote ''Tbore's not ibo smallest orb which thou behold? en, BftHtt bi? motion likonngol tVtg&i Still quiring to tho young ty M cherubims : Snell harmony is in imniurtnl roui* ; But, wbiUt thin muddy venturo of deeny Doth grossly close it in, \ro cannot hear it." But above; all JEHOVAH Himself, speaking (ooh) dub out of thc whirlwind, alinde? to thc tinto, "When the morning star* sang together And all tbo ?one of U?d ?lioutcd for Joy. If these ho fancies, then wc uro. wil? ling to lake fttnoy for faith ; and wilh arl rovorenco wo .?ny it, we trust that heaven is full of such fancies realized j 'and that when let loose from this tuno mont ol olay, our spirit may forever rovel in such dreams, us tho lovely ro alkies of thc rodeo m od and purified soul.
