A Morning at a Fashionable Church [To tlie Editor of Hafyer's Weekly.] My dear Shu?Why don't you send Importers to tbo fashionable churches 1 "Why, I \tant to know, do the newspapers report lccturcs, concerts, operas, dramas Vaudevilles, comcdles, ay, even dirt cart Iflcn's meetings, yet have never a word fol the assemblies at the fashionable churches ^hlch ft3 fctefV one will admit. nrp fill* itistroctiro and edifying ? I do,"now and then, see a sermon reported. 'When the Rev. Ichnbol Surplice, who was perverted from Protestant ism, preaches on the pros? errors of the Reformation ; when tlio lluv Mrs. Pantjj Loons preaches on tjio texi "Wives, suhmit yourselves unto your husbands," and proves that the apostlo meant no such thing,1'but the very opposite?tlien, indeed, T perceive that the daily papers send reporters ; ah J von, Sir, frequently give us the'marrow of their ropoit. But why i-^ the practice not'general I Believe me, you would do the public a vast good were you to send your corps of artists and writers to * each fashionable church in town* and daguerreotype for us the scenes which take place there every Sunday morning. Who Itnow but you might be the means of bnngingsome erring soul from the depths of vulgar religion to the shining light of gilt-edged and perfumed piety ? i am a plain tellow, myself; We live in a pretty fair town in the interior of this Slate. We arc plain folk, and carry out the Maine Law among lis, though we've only convicted one chap, and he was an Irishman. We have a nice, trim little church, and a first-rate minister?a DownEaster?who preaches twice a day on Sunday, and teaches our young folk almost every day of the week, lie ain't what you'd call asmart fellow; he rover pitches into the Catholics or the Unitarians: he never gets into a fume about slavery; he don't muddle plain folk's (trains about transnhfetantiation or other tough doctrines, which are not for farmers to undcrsland. But lie just reads a few plain chapters from tlie Good Boole, and explains all tjie hard verses as lie goes along ; and then he gives out a few verses of a psalm, and Aunt Belly ot.jr'.,..:. A?? ?t? i-i.i uuusin.uy mvy n.-au me singing and we all join in, some in tune, some out of tune; and then he preaches a plain sermon, and tells us wo oughtn't to sell short weight, or to mix our seed, or to overwork our help, or to let our children be idle and ignorant, or to suflvr any poor homeless creature to go hungry from our door. Sn you see, preaching thus,and being besides a I.:...i - ' , jm.Li aui-iiium iii;ii*, who comes every dav to see any body who's sick, and amighty fitvorile'of llie young ones, our minister rather suits us plain folk. 1 reckon that if he was hard pressed th?rc\l be a good many purses open to him ; and a good many strong chaps, 1 tell you, a standing before Ins door if any one wanted to do him a hurl. But bless you, there doesn't live the creaturc that doesn't lovo our minister Jeremiah? Never mind his other name. I was going to say that having come tc New York on business, my cousin, John Brown, whom you know 1 darfsav. asked roc what I did VStindays? adding, with a kind of snigger,"that if regalias and sherry suited me, I would find bim and tbein in the library all day. I said I was a country chap, and mostly worshiped once a day'at least. On this lie laughed, and hade his wife? a monstrous fine woman, I tell you?take ine to church with her. So I went, walking after Mrs. Brown, for 6he and her daughter, Arabella; quite filled the 8ide-w,\lk with their dresses. When we reached the church door a fashionable sort pf man bowed to Mrs. Brown, and camo forward to pieet her. Seeing him bareheaded,! thought he was the ministej, and, say; I?wqitjng t<5 be civil?"IIow do you do. Reverend Sir?" Upon which that mins Arabella nearly choked heself with a laugh and Srietk, "Uncle Obadiab, why that's tin sexton I" He lpd tllf ivnr fn o nnm ""'I ? - ...y m jM/v, (uiu \'|iru\;u lilt door; after we liad gone in ho closed it. 1 had a niind to give him fip-pence, but hadn' change handy, so I nodded, as much as t< say, ^'You 6core one." He stared in a inigh ty insolent way, and walked down the aisli like a Rajah's state elephant. I noticed that the gentlemen, the momen they entered the church, poked their nose iuto their hats, and held them there for i jijood minute. Why is this,_ Mr. Editor Do they find the air of the church overpower them ? Do they *>r\rry snuff in their hats I like*to know the feasons of every thing so when the gentleman before lis had gon through the ceremony, I just Btreclied ove And took up his tint to look atjjL*- It was - -commonhat much like my "own. Ther was nothing in it that I could see but th mincers name. So I pave it back to bit apparently tnnch to bis r<jli?f. ' I-was thinking over it when' the niusi struck up*a lively air with 'variations. I ar good at*rousic myself, and would have give m guuu many aoiiara to tyave had my pi banjo with roe at tb^t moment to hare n< eompanied' the organist; as it was, I t*ppe time with my fingers on the pew?till I sa the minister walking up-'the junior pulpit. Then I stopped, of course when the service b gan". : I will say nothing of that old Angli can service, Mr. Editor, except thai it weir to roe the roost touching and beautiful con * position in our language, all written as it in Jh* grand o]d Saxon tonnge; so plai that a chrldean understand it;so noblean uiiguiy tuBum) greatest mind finds it fil u it# gn*p; cpnoinglj .Adapted to touch sow r chord io Very breast, and i>y turns to aj C peat to the riehfto the poor, to tHte hnpp\ to the sorrowful, to the believer, aog bothe^^-Jbera was nRoman Cathj . lie, or mayhap an inliJul (poor fellow !)?a Frenchman and a poet of infinites grace and I' sympathy? ah ! he died only n few. months ' ago?whjo used to say that ho could never .read the Anglican Litany without tears, i IIow few of us Protestants have as much heart as poor De Masset ! There wcronul many tears shed in my i part of the church that morning. If there i had been T should have seen, them, for the I ladies' hats didn't even cover their ears. Their eyes were very busy?a millinering, I ; I should say. The ladv in front of us bad i her book upside down; the (wo behind us got into a violent quarrel about somebody's bonnet, which one of the two said was new, while the other pretended it was an old one .turned.

If you can make out, will you let mo know ?. The sertnon was excellent, I must say 1 think that minister must be one of the great guns of your city. I don't like to mention his name, but the way he put it into that poor miserable 1 'ope, of Rome did my heart good. Why, Sir, he didn't leave him a toe, much loss a leg, to stand on. I should think he would send in his resigna| tion, and t?ke to making macaronis, if he hears of the discourse. Ah, he must be a great preacher that; and how much good he must do ! When the sermon was over and the collection made (I pnt in a fippenny bit, but it. j rolled oft* the plate, and the. grand gentleI men who collected hadn't time to stop to ! pick it up. I noticed that it contained no end of dollars?scallywag, mayl>e?money thiit way), we all gathered ourselves up to ' go home. Again I saw the gentlemen dash their faces furiously into their hats and hold them there. One young fellow did ' this straight before me ; so I just took him by the arm, and , says I :t v "Minister, I reckon you don't put your 1 nose in your'iint for nothing ; now just tell a stranger Why ?" , lie looked at me a minute, half-laughing. then, says he ; ?. "You won't tell?" ' No." 'It's a type," said he. liA what ?" "A type." he repeated, solemnly; "ask *1^ i.: .1. _ M A . i i nit; ui*uop. miu lie tvem, away. The going out of clinch is I lie only scene that reminds me of going in to the Opera. Of the two, I think the forjner the showiest and the dressiest. I asked Arabella?wishing to show hi?r that we country folk, dull > as we are, had some wit?whether 'she , wouhl let mo carry her Opera-book.(mean; ing her prayer-book) home? ? , "No, thank you," said she, with a sweqt s smile ; "but hero take my fan; and just' tell that young man with the light mustache ? that I count on him for the Lancers to.mor [ I row." i So I saw that the sermon had already > begun to do good , Odadiaii. u ?'? Tbalberg. As few comparatively of our reader? have formed an adequate idea of the style and manner of this celebrated Pianist, wo copy the following brief description from a late Musical publication : The success ofSigismund Thalberg up to this date in America is familiar to p.v?rv ' one. It has no parallel in tho career of u any nriisl with perhaps the exception of r Jenny Lind. His success will be a wholeR some reproof to those in Europe nnd at e home who asserted that the las# in AmerC ica was not sufficiently advanced to nppre" ciate so refined and exquisite a. performer, and'that consequently, Thalberg must fail;. 0 He has succeeded and has been appre^ia11 ted and America has vindicated h^r " I to refinement and critical acumen to the confusion of her detractors. "fo those who nre unacquainted with the ^ peculiar style of Thalberg'a playing, the' w following description by a well known critic may prove interesting. 9 "We at*e repeatedly asked in wliat respeot Thnlberg diffurs from other.great ptis nnists who have nlnvcd bera. fOr ?n? n?r>. . , v. ?' r~~ > pie remember Wallace and Mirp in Mines is by, and Henri Herz, JDe Meyer, 8t>aho*ch n and the exqwtsite.GottK'halk are freeb and d stroi% in the memory of all.

To us the playing of Thalberg is the incarnation of grantjeur and majesty. Ilis grasp of the instrument is Titantic, but' it is not the crushing grasp of Neyer, nor the changeful yet mighty control of Liszt ; it is the calm dignity, tlic breadth of manner, the conscious power which spring from a wellbalanced intellect, interpreted through n meclianicism so unfailing, so faultless, that is perfect. Where the well-balanccd intellect governs the executive power, no isolated points of excellence present themselves for special wonder ; when force is wanted, it is there without effort ; delicacy, briliancv, passion, sentiment, meditation, mirth and all thousand points, the connecting links in the tone-poem spring forth rom the finger and btfcouvss revealed to our sense with a clear and palpable distinctness. De Mever was the nianist of con trasts, now indulging in the most fiery like delicacy, anon thundering over the keys like the tramp of a brigade of heavy cavalry; Liszt touches the height and depth ot every emotion, sings with the angels and revels with the devils, roams through the region of romance, pauses in the academic groves then wanders off on an eccentric course in to the Cimmerian darkness of Schumann's mysticism or Lizt's rhodoiriontade. Thalherg, with the power of Jove, has the w isdom of Minerva and is endowed with all the beautiful sensibilities that belong to the highest musical organization, ami we listen to him as to the teachings ofan inspired prophet, and we worship Truth when we bow to him. We would not be understood to say that Thalborg preaches mu-i<v; we wish to convey the idea that his nlavinor is o's rniglit forward and simple, yet withal so incomparably exquisite, so free from all trickery or charlatanry, and yet so wonderful in its executive greatness, that it can be felt and understood by all ; that while lie. fascinates the mind, it is with the clear light of beauty and not with the magic of mysticism ; that while he subdues the feelings, it is with a true and many pathos, an J not with exaggerated maudlin of falsa sentimerlt." The first Concert, in which Thalberg will be assisted by Vieuxtemps, will take place on Friday night, instead of Thursday night next, as we have stated, at tho South Carolina Institute llall. The sale of the tickets will commence on Monday next at 9 A. M., at Mr Sibling's .Music store. The price oflhe scats has been fixed.at a moderate rale considering (he merits of the two greatest living artist9 in their respective lines. The opportunity should not be lost, for it may, never occur again in a whole life time.?Evening News. ^ ? ? 1 A Mother's Love.?What sweet poetry is contained in those three little words.
