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

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

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

One of the churchwardens, or deacons, or

took out his note-hook and figured
I away during the prayers. I can see a long
j distance; and, being of an inquiring mind
I just looked to see what part of the service
lie was noting down, Ilis lilllo sum was

j I couldn't make out whether this was
part of the Litany or the Communion'.' 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.

"You won't tell?"
' No."
'It's a type," said he.

"A type." he repeated, solemnly; "ask

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 So I saw that the sermon had already

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.

positions, have won the homage of the civilized
world, and have built -op a reputation
which ba? lasted a quarter of a century, and
will last^ns long as the master-minds of the
musichl art will be remembered. 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.
