Haydn's “Creation.”

'While on a visit to London in the year 1795," says an interesting writer, “Haydn heard Handel's ‘Messiah’ splendidly rendered by an orchestra of ovgr a thousand performers at Westminster Abbey; and the effect of this sent him back to Germany with his mind stirred with the impulse to compose an oratorio. “The result was that grflht and glorious conception —‘The Creation.’ No sooner was he settled in the quiet domicile at Gunpendorff than he fell to' work upon this masterpiece. This was late in 1796, and in the beginning of the year 1798 the oratorio was completed. Two years the old man took to rear this colossal musical structure; for, he said, ’I spent much time over it because I intend it to last a long time.’ “Haydn always led a very religious life. All his scores were inscribed at the commencement with the words, ‘ln nomine Domini,’or ‘Soli Deo gloria;’ while at the conclusion of them is written his ‘Laus Deo,;’ but ‘I was,’ he says, ‘never so pious as whqn engaged upon the "Creation.” I fell on my knees daily, and prayed earnestly to God that He would grant me strength to carry out the work, and to praise Him worthily.’ It is said, too, that in composing, whenever he felt the ardor of his imagination decline, or was stopped by some insurmountable difficulty, he rose from his work and resorted to prayer—an expedient which, he said, never failed to revive him.

“A few weeks after its completion, the ‘Creation’ was first performed in the rooms of the Schwartzenburg Palace. ‘Who can describe the applause ?’ wrote an eye-witness. ‘The flower of the literary and musical society of Vienna were assembled in the room, which was well adapted to the purpose, and Haydn himself directed the orchestra. The most profourfti silence, the most scrupulous attention —a sentiment, I might almost say, of religious respect —were the dispositions when the first stroke of the bow was given. “ ‘The general expectation was not disappointed. A long train of beauties, till that moment unknown, unfolded themselves before us; our minds, overcome with pleasure and admiration, experienced during two successive hours what they had rarely felt—a happy existence, produced by desires, ever likely, ever renewed, and never disappointed.’ The work very soon found its way round Germany, and Europe, too. •Taris strove to surpass all other cities in doing homage to Haydn’s masterpiece, and in the year 1800 a performance of it took place there. On this occasion the applause was deafening ; and the virtuosi engaged in it, in their enthusiasm, and to show their veneration for Haydn, resolved to present him with a large gold medal, which was adorned on one side with a likeness of Haydn, and on the other side with an upright lyre, over which was a burning flame in the midst of a circle of stars. On the medal was this inscription; “ ‘Hommage a Haydn, par les Musiciens qui ont execute I’Oratorio de la “Creation du Monde,” au Theatre des Arts, I’an IX, de la Republique Francaise. MDCCC.’ “In England the ‘Creation’ is, and probably ever will be, the most popular of all Haydn’s works. For depth of feeling, solemnity, and suitability of character; for its powerful and complete grasp of the subject—in fact, for its whole hearing as an oratorio —the ‘Creation’ holds a place among the finest examples which have ever been written in this form of composition.*'

“Available” Manuscripts.

Some months since the “Easy Chair” endeavored to soothe the minds of authors who are naturally disappointed by the return of their manuscripts by a plain narration of the facts in a recent case, where the writer was sure that the editor had been caught tripping, and had even returned a paper without reading it. Indeed, there seems to be a widespread suspicion that this particular wrong to the author is vary common, and manuscripts are often received for examination with dexterous little devices to test the actuality of the examination. This fact enables the “Easy Chair” to remind poets and other kind contributors that they have not probably found it necessary to read Pollok’s “Course of Time” from the first word to the last to determine whether it was a poem to their taste, and to suggest that a few pages of Tupper undoubtedly authorized them to pronounce upon his comparative merit with Milton and Shakspeare. Is it really necessary to read every page in a book to discover that it is not worth reading ? If a manuscript of 500 pages or less, therefore, be intrusted to the editor for examination, it is not necessary for him to ponder every page in order to reach a satisfactory opinion of its suitability. So if the stitch ingeniously inserted from pages 40 to 50 be intact when the manuscript returns, it does not demonstrate that the editor betrayed his trust. In the instance to which the “Easy Chair” has alluded the author cited dates and postmarks to prove that the paper had been returned without examination. The author was undoubtedly of that opinion, but a few plain words from the editor were conelusive upon the point that it had been carefully considered, and had been declined for reasons perfectly satisfactory to the editor. To complain that they are satisfactory to h m is to complain that he is himself ml not another. Jb'or it will perhaps occur to every writer who sends a paper for consideration that he sends it because he thinks it to lie ireculiarly suitable for publication in tae Magazine, and, consequently, if the judgment of the author should" decide. it might be properly assumed that Everything which is submitted would be accepted. In that event the world would not contain the volumes of magazines that must be printed. But the “Easy Chair” has never alleged that articles are accepted or declined solely upon their abstract merits. On the contrary, any such judgment is carefully disclaimed, and it is announced plainly that the verdict is rendered solely upon the ground of availibility. The “Easy Chair” is of opinion

that the editor would have returned Jonathan Edwards’ treatise upon the will had it been offered for serial publication in the Magazine, but solely for the reason that he did not think it to suitable for the Miaydsine. So if the correspondent’s epic, or lyric, or es§ay, or sketch, or tale, or whatever his offering may have been, was returned, it was ndt because it was thought not to be meritorious, but because it was not available.—George William Curtis, in Harper’s Matatine.

The First Copper Cents.

The earliest American copper coins made by any State were made at Rupert, in Vermont, and before Vermont had been admitted into the Union. A mint was there established for eight or ten years, having a capacity to stamp sixty coppers, upon which the so-called “baby-head” goddess of liberty appeared ; but truth compels me to say that this goddess was no more comely than that on the coins of the present day, although she was 100 years younger. The owner of the mint, Reuben Harmon, was bound to pay the state 2j per cent for his privilege. At first these coins passed two for a penny, then four, and then eight, when they no longer paid for the cost, mainly on account of the sudden competition of other States, and of the large importations of Birmingham hardware, commonly called “Bungtown coppers.” We had no protective tariff then, and we have none now, against “Bungtowns,” whether of copper or silver. In 1787, by authority of Congress, a contract was made with James Jarvis for 300 tons of copper coin, of the Federal standard, and cents were coined at the New (laven mint of the following description: On one side thirteen circles linked together, a small circle in the middle, with the words, “We are one;” on the other side a sun-dial, and below the dial the words, “Mind ycur business.”

In 1792 Congress authorized the coinage of a copper cent weighing 264 grains, which was reduced in 1793 to 208 grains, again reduced in 1796 to 168 grains, later to 140 grains, on which the so-called “booby-head” appears, and in 1857 to 72 grains, of which 88 per cent, was to be copper and 12 per cent, nickel. In 1864 it was once more reduced to 48 grains—9s per cent, of copper and 5 per cent, of tin or zinc. Finally, in 1882, the last change was made to three-fourths of copper and one-fourth of nickel, but the weight remains at 48 grains. The frequent and wide alterations which have been made in our copper coins shpw that intrinsic value has almost vanished, and they bear no proportional value to other coins; but at the start, when copper bore a much higher price, the weight of the cent was fixed at five and a half times what it is now. In the southern portion of our country, and especially on the Pacific coast, copper coins have been as uncurrent as the yellow-haired Chinaman, or for a long time they were practically tabooed, and even now they are unwelcome travelers, much in need of a passport. Wherever not altogether snubbed the copper c ?nt must pass, as Wood’s notable copper coins must have passed in America or Ireland, far above any real value, and with little other merit beyond the dusky color now supplied on its face to our recent Indian image “Liberty.” After common use these coins assume a deeper Ethiopic complexion, and become petty nuisances, scents as well as cents, redolent of many coppery smells, which are easily translated to other coins, or to anything with which they hold pocket intercourse. Copper as a metal is wondrously useful, daily becoming more so, but neither Lycurgus nor Hamilton would at this day think of stamping it as money. Certainly we can do better. If the cent and 2 cent coins were now made wholly of nickel the Government would obtain an ample seigniorage; and the nickel, when compared with swarthy copper, is immaculate, or clean and bright. The importance of the cent coinage will be realized when we find that over 40,000,000 pieces were coined the past year.

The Multiplication of Diseases.

Diseases multiply. One begets another. A trifling indisposition may, therefore, originate a oampllcatioß<T£ dangerous miladies.- Indigestion begets far more formidable diseases; a mult tudo of ailments are traceable to constipation; fever and ague unhinges the entire nervous system, and is. therefore, the source of theprotian ailments which affect that portion cf the human organism. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, howewer, whether resorted to at the inception of those disorders of the stomach, bowels, or liver, which give birth to the majority of diseases and disabilities, or taken when thev have ripened into formidable maturity, are alike powerful to cure. The process of recovery is, of course, longer when the malady has gained headway, but it is none the less certain. Dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, kidney oomplaints. and intermittent fever, invariably yield to the operation of the great alterative and invigonnt.

A TRUE FAIRY STORY.

In * large and beautiful castle lived three sisters. The two oldest were handsome and proud, and their names were Mary Maud and Maud Marian. The youngest was neither handsome nor proud, and her name was Triste. Triste, as you know, means sad or afflicted, and this Triste was named for her condition. She bad once had a prettier name —Rosabel, In fact,—but everybody now called her Triste the Bad. She stayed in a small room, wiftout windows, at the very top of the castle, as far away as she could possibly get from the Binging and laughing, and music and all the good times that were continually goirfr on in the gardens and rooms below, where her sisters lived. Here in this little dark room, when it was morning, poor Triste would always say, “Would God It were evening!" and when it was evening she would always say, “Would God it were morning!” and these two remarks were all the remarks she ever made. Once an»Evil Eye had looked hard upon Triste and made her ugly and deformed. She had bunches and swellings, she was limpy and trembling, and her sac—well, if you looked at it once you did not care to look •gain. As for the aches and pains that darted and criscrossed and zigzaged through her, one would not suppose that a little thin body like hers could make room for so many. So Triste stayed in her dark room, and made hermorning and her evening remark day after day, while Mary Maud and Maud Marian went to the balls and the tournaments and the feasts. Whenever the sounds of mirth and music from below where loud enough to reach Triste's room at the top of the castle, she would throw her face into her hands and weep, and the weeping and the making her two remarks were all the amusements she had. But after a while something wonderful happened. One morning as Triste was sitting in her room wishing it was evening, she heard a new Bound. It was not the mirth and music, it was not the clumsy-footed servant bringing up the dreadful gruels, it was something coming up the winding-stairs with a raptapping noise. The taps came on, and Anally Triste’s door opened and a little, old, bentover woman with a walking-stick came Ip. The little old woman’s face was white and wrinkled, her hair was white as snow, but eyes were black and so very bright that they lit up a space around her like a couple of candles and made Triste’s dark room quite light. The little old woman tapped three times bn the Door with her walking stick and looked round the room. “I am your godmother,” she said, when she saw Triste up in the corner; “you don't remember me, but I remember you; I didn't forget you, my poor child.’’ “Oh, would God it were evening!” said Triste, trying to be sociable, and meaning, perhaps, “Good-morning,” or “How do you do?” or something like that. “Hark ye, goddaughter,” said the godmother, “do you want to go to the tournament with your sisters? Do you want to sit down at the feasts? Do you want to have the brave young knights and princes, their snow-white plumes and their coal-black chargers, come riding to woo you as they come to woo your sisters? Do you want to sing? Do you want to laugh? Do you want to dance?” Thou Triste put her head into her hands and began to cry by way of varying the sociability.

“ Stop your crying, goddaughter,” said the godmother, tapping her three taps on the floor again, and as Triste raised her head she shone upon her with her beautiful eyes and dried up the tears, and while her eyes were shining she went on talking: “I was your godmother when you were christened Rosabel. When the Evil Eye struck you and cursed you, and you were turned into Triste the Sad, I did not desert you like the others. I have been wandering over the world ever since to find the Fairy that could take off the carse of that Evil Fye. I have wandered, wandered—oh, how I have wandered! I was handsome, and straight as a poplar I am old and crooked, but Ido not care.-5 have found the Fairy. It ran from me, it flew, it hid, it went up and down, it was never there when I put my hand on it, —but I got it at last.” And the godmother tapped her three taps, and laughed three merry laughs, that ran round the wrinkles in her face like streaks es quicksilver. “ I found it, I put it into a bottle and corked it down tight; I have brought it to you." The godmother drew from under the traveltattered cloak a bottle, in which was a white Fairy, dimpling and sparkling, and making f jpny little fairy bows and gestures. The godmother laughed her three merry, quicksilvery laughs again as she held it up and looked at it. “It is meek and quiet enough now,” she said. “When a Fairy is once caught it gives up. It will perform its mission. Do as it bids you and it will take off the curse of that Evil Eye." The godmother pressed the Fairy into Triste’s hand, and before Triste had got over being perfectly dazed at the gift, the godmother was tapping down the winding-stair with her walking-stick, and Triste was left alone with the bottled Fairy. How • long it took her to get over being dazed; how soon she released the Fairy from the bottle; what it said and what it did, first, second, and last, we can all put into fairy history for ourselves. However and whatever the ways and means, it is certain that those frolicsome aches and pains, which had made of Triste their exercise grounds and camping places, were routed out, hip and thigh, little and big. She stopped making, her two remarks and learned some new ones. And she began to tire of her room without windows; and she got so crave and strong that she would sometimes av night, when the garden was still and dark, wrap herself all round and steal down the winding stair, tc walk under the trees, and to look at the stars and the moon.

From looking at the stars and tbo moon she wanted to look at the sun. And one glad day, right in the very brightest sunshine, Triste walked boldly into the garden. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming. the lakes, the trees, the fountains—everything was glorious and wonderful. She walked on with estrange brightness and easiness, and so happy she did not know whether it was the birds she heard singing, or some kind of music within hcrs?l r . She stopi>ed beside a fountn'’’. ’“d ms she in. the silver water smiled bark to her with a fresh, happy face—such a fresh, happy face, so free from those old deformities and marks of the Evil Fye, that Triste cried out lor joy; and yet such a wonderful chanao it was, she did not half believe it was her own reflection she saw in the water. She did not half believe it until the old godmother came from behind some shrubbery. laughing her quicksilvery laughs fast and loud, and saying, “Ho! ho! ho! Rosabrl! Rosabel!” whenever the got a chance between the laughs. And Mary Maud and Maud Marian, who happened to be walking in the garden, heard the laughing and came to the fountain, and when thev saw and understood they pressed Triste in their arms, crying for joy over her, and calling her their beautiful Rosa. And so it was ever afterwards, Mary Maud, Maud Marian, and Rosabel were the throe sisters that lived in the castle. Triste the Sod was never more hoard from. The little room at the top of the castle was locked up, and the key lost for? or. When Rcsabel went upto take a last look at her old room she found that the dear little Fahy had departed, but on the deserted bottle had left its name,—Dr. R. V. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery. The above is perfectly true in all but the thin varnish of its setting forth, and, indeed, the^ u l h 1? U has «?nsldpraW»- crackled and rubbed off even that thin ooatiug. Do we not all know sad afflicted ories, to whom If Dois a curse on account of painful and deforming d's ?a c ef Restless, discouraged souls, who say In the morning, “Would God it were evening;” and in the evening, “Would God it were morning;" dragging out their weary days with no expectation of anything better this side of the grave. If Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will do what it claims to do it. is surely a golden gift to humanity; that it will do exactly what it claims hardly admits of a doubt, if we take into consldeiatlon the responsibility and position of its voucher, and the thousands of most trustworthy witnesses to its wonderful power in their individual cases. Dr. Pieroe is well known to the general public, not only for his Golden Discovery, but

also in connection with the World’s Dispensary and Invalids’ Hotel at Buffalo, Ji. Y.; as author of The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, and other medical worts of great practical value; and as originator and proprietor of several specific remedies, one of which, the alterative ‘‘Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellet*,'* and his great “Golden Medical Discovery*' work together as allies in the cure of certain diseases. He is a physician of large practice and experience, who, tn a rational and scientific way, has made a life study of disease, its causes and cures, under the most favorable circumstances for such study; and the “Discovery” is the result of much observation, experiment and research. He does not claim that It will cure everything, or that there are not individual cases beyond its reach; but he does claim that it is a powerful remedy for chronic diseases of the Ever. blood and lungs, and that from these as root diseases spring many of the most dangerous and painful maladies of humanity. The list of diseases for which he recommends the “Discovery” is necessarily large, since it must take in all the shoots and branches that spring from these root diseases, each shoot and branch having its particular name and manifestation, and its particular degree of pain and danger to the human system. It takes In thus our consumptions, our kidney diseases, our sickheadaches, our heart diseases, the whole long, loathsome list of what are called “bad blood” diseases, our dyspepsias, dropsies, agues, asthmas, and many others, by far too numerous to mention. The Discovery has been tried and proved, and is now solidly established upon its own merits. Scarcely a town or village from which some testimonial of its use and value has not been received. Many of those testifying say that after having spent hundreds of dollars upon medicines and physiclans,and their cases having been pronounced hopeless, the Golden Medical Discovery has raised them to health and strength. It unquestionably has grappled with thousands of “hard cases" in the form of disease, and come off victor, and Dr. Pierce has the spoils of conquest in the way of increased reputation and the thanks and blessing of cured and rejoicing humanity. Dear, hesitating, sick reader, you are suffering the same kind of ills from which thousands of others have been relieved by the Golden Medical Discovery, perhaps it will not cure you. You may be differently constituted from other people; your system may be constructed on a new and original plan, and work on peculiar methods and principles. But, after all, it is quite probable that you are made a good deal like other folks, and that what will cure others will, under about the same conditions, cure you. If you use the Golden Medical Discovery your name will soon go down on the long list of the cured and rejoicing. The Buddhists have a pretty fable of a tree, called the red tree of Koumboum. each leaf of which bears in relief a letter, all the letters spelling out a poem to Buddha, and this vegetable poem being beautifully varied year after year as the tree renewed its foliage. If the vegetable life, whatever it may bo, from which Dr. Pierce gets the wonderful remedial agents of his Golden Medical Discovery, were thus to spell out the rejoicing of those it had blessed, we should have a jioem to match that of the red tree of Koumboum, like it varying itself season by season as now cases and causes of rejoicing were given.
