PRESS OPINIONS OF THE RURAL, 
Tm; Rural is now a mammoth sheet, gotten up 
inelegant style, very neatly printed, and filled with 
u variety of useful information on almn*t all sub¬ 
ject* Agriculture, Horticulture, Rural Life, News, 
Organ with Voice. This is one of the invaria¬ 
ble Jinks in nature. Tho piano-forte is bright, 
sparkling, incisive; iu clear-cut phrases repre¬ 
sent well the movements of instvumontal mel¬ 
ody, but its contact with that finest organ, tho 
human voice, is slight ami momentary. Its tones 
may be likened to the mlcroseopio atones that 
form a mosaic picture, in which yon can have 
juxtaposition of color only; Hie separate hues 
may show lovely contrasts, but they never blend 
as do the same colors under the painter's brush. 
Hut. tiie sustaining power of harmony, the intel¬ 
lectual beauty or counterpoint, these are felt 
only when tiie singer’s bland and flowing style 
vs i is supplemented by the continuous volume of 
wind instruments. Ifenoo it is no wonder that 
C4 Mr social occasions, for musical practice, and 
for worship in chapels aud churches, the reed 
7 j. organ, ns it now exists, with its ample power 
and variety of tone, its appliances for musical 
'Jpft effect, has come into such general use. The 
jcJVy American Organ made by 8. D. & H. w. 
8 .mit n of Boston, ranks deservedly first of its 
class and grows yearly into more extended use, 
with ever increasing approbation. I
