The officers and men wore ' at the musical festival, culled the Hallelujah j made restless by the dread of musical absurdity, ist tine spirits, and I should judge, apprehended ! chorus: and as our choir sung it so well at the j Hood Friday came:—the whole village looked ; no danger.

Our negro interpreter Louis, (a grunt scoundrel, 1 knew him well,) said all along them was no danger, and that we should not be mo lested by the Indians. He repeatedly went oiF alone into the woods to hunt for signs, but ui- TIIE BOAT-HORN. Oh boatmen! wind that horn again! For never did the joyous air Upon ils lambent bosom hear So wild, so soft, so vveeta strain. VVhat though thy notes are sad, nnd lone, By every simple boatman blown! Y et couid I list from eve till morn, Delighted, to the simplest horn! How oft in lioyhood's cloudless day I’ve stroll’d hy wild Ohio’s stream, Marking liis silvery billows play, Bright with the sun’s declining beam, YY'liile some lone boatman from the deck, Musing on coining storms, and wreck, Pour’d his soft numbers to that tide Where all his hopes, his fortunes ride, As if to woo the fickle wave From wreck, and storm, his boat to save! Delighted nature,drank the sound, Enchanted echo bore it round In w hispers soft,and softer still, From hill to plain, and plain to bill, And e’en (lie reckless, frolic boy, Elate with hope, and wild with joy, YV ho gambol’d by the river’s side, And sported with the fretting tide Feels someihing new pervade his breast, Chain his light step, cut short his jest, Bends o’er ihe flood his eager car To catch the sounds far off, and dear, Drinks the sweet draught, but knows not why The tear of rapture fills bis eye. just “At church?’ “Yes, sir, if vou please, at elm roll tomorrow'. ■ 1 he singing gallery washnl to sutbication, and The Hallelujah chorus you know, sir, being part ■ t!| e church itself was crowded. _ 'Lite squire of of the Messiah, we thought it would be purlieu, the parish was present, and Ins lamiiy also were lar appropriate; and we are all perfect in our «>fn him, and thesingcr-t were so happy that parts, and there’s two or three chaps'out of the > eould heardlt contain themselves. 1 hoy next parish that are corning over to Snatclmm j hid not mind the prayers; they had heard them to see their friends, and thev’ll help us you : befure, and did not think them half so well : ways said he could find none.

From the Court Magazine. VILLAGE CHORISTERS. [CONCLUDED.] There is also another mode in which the par ties manifest their discrepancy of opinion, or discordancy of feeling, and that is by the silence of half the choir. Now one would think that such an event would be a joy and a relief to the good man, who loves quiet; and so it is physi cally, but not morally: for though his ears are relieved from one half of the ordinary musical infliction, yet he is mentally conscious that evil thoughts are cherished in the breasts of the silent ones, that they who sing are not praising Godin their songs, and that they who sing not are not praising him by their silence. But the climax of the abominations of the Snatcham choristers I have yet to record, and I hope that by their follies other choirs, if there be any so absurd, will take warning. It has been already said that this celebrated Snatclmm choir made it a great point to obtain leave from their rector for all the abominations and absurdi ties which they were accustomed to inflict upon the parish under the guise of music; but the arrogant importunity of their solicitation was such that they seemed to bid defiance to refusal, so that their asking leave was after the fash ion of the beggar in Gil Bias, who held his musket in the direction of the donor’s head.— At a large town in the county in which Snatch am is situated, there had been a musical festival, the directors of which, in order to give eclat to their advertisements, had used all manner of means to swell the number of the performers.— For this purpose they had sought every hedge and highway and bv-way in the county, to pick up every individual who had the slightest pretension whatever to musical talent. In such a search, of course the Snatcham choir could not by any possibility be overlooked. They were accordingly retained for the choruses, in consequence of which they underwent much musical drilling; nor were they a little pleased at the honor thus thrust upon them. They of course distinguished themselves, though I must say that the wisest chorus singers can do is not to distinguish themselves; but the Snatcham choir, it is said, actually did distinguish them selves, especially in the Hallelujah chorus, and so fascinated were they with that chorus, and their own distinguished manner of singing it, that they resolved unanimously to perform it at Snatcham church. This was bad enough; but this was not the worst, for nothing would serve them but they would have it of all days in the year on Good Friday! On the evening of the day before, the whole body of the choristers, vocal and instrumental, went up to the rectory, and demanded an audi ence of their worthy pastor. The good man trembled at their approach, and his heart sank within him at the announcement that they had something verv particular to say to him. He thought of harp, flute, psaltery, dulcimer, sack but, and all kinds of music, and lysears tingled with apprehension of some new enormity about to be added to the choir, in shape of some heathenish instrument. It was a ludicrous sight, and enough to make the pastor laugh, had he been at all disposed to merriment, to see the whole choir seated in his parlour, and occupy ing, after a fashion, every chair in the room; for if they were never harmonious in any thing else, they were perfectly harmonious as to their mode of sitting: they were all precisely in the same attitude, and that attitude was—sitting on the very outward edge of the chair, with their hats carefully held between their knees, their mouths wide open, and their eyes fixed upon vacancy. At the entrance of the clergyman they all rose, bowed with simultaneous polite ness. nnd looking towards Martin Grubb as their mouth piece. Martin Grubb, with his broad heavy hand, smoothed his locks over his fore head, and said—“Hem!” “Well, Mr. Grubb,” replied the rector, “you and your friends, 1 understand, have something particular to say to me.” “Why yes, sir,” said Mr. Grubb, “we are called upon you by way of deputation like, just to say a word or two about singing; and for the matter cf that, we have been practicing a pretty. of church again, but go among the methodishes or voice, and of every instrument, were exerted to ; the advanced guard, and this was immediately some of them outlandish sexes; and it would the utmost of their capability—there was such! followed by a musket shot from tiuit quarter.—- j be a pity to overthrow the established church i an infinite variety of articulation of hallclowyn,; Captain hrazer had rode by nte-a moment be- ! just for the matter of a stave or two of music.” i holleluvear, allyluger, and alimen, and aw men, j ,ul ‘ u in lh ; it direction.

He made them a speech, frequently pointing to the breastwork. Mr. Gripe also said—“lie! he! he!” “He! he! he!” is a Y'ery conclusive kind of argument; and so the rector of Snatcham felt it to be, for ho could not answer it, nor refute it, nor evade it- He looked this way and that way, up to the ceiling and down to the floor, towards Mr. Gripe .and towards Mr. Grubb; but neither ceiling nor floor, nor Gripe nor Grubb, afforded him any relief from his painful embar- . - - - rassnient. The exulting singers saw that he|^ aK n ^! an( ^ t razet s) °t M\y men each, was posed, and that now was the time to push home their victory, and overwhelm the rector bv their united importunities. So they all crowd ed round him at once, and almost all at once be- gan to assail him with such a torrent of reasons and argumentation that he had not a word to say for himself. “Please, sir,” said Onesiphorus Bang; “I ha’n’f got nothing else ready to play.” “Nor I neither,” said Issachar Crack. “Please, sir,” said Alexander Rodolpho Crabbe, “we never like to do nothing without your leave, and we hope you won’t coirtpel us to now. My wife says she’ll never come to church again, if the Hallelujah chorus is not performed tomorrow.” “And t declare,” said Gregory Plush,“that for my part I never wish to touch the serpent again, if we mayn’t do that piece of music.” Absalom and Peter Gripe also said the same j as touching the clarionets; and James Gripe j then looked at the rector with a quaintly inter rogative aspect, which, without uttering a word, seemed to say—“There, sir, what will you do without Absalom and Peter’s clarionets.” Now, for his own part, the worthy pastor would have been glad to get rid of the whole clamour of their music, for these choristers were always at loggerheads either with one another, or with all the rest of the parish.
