BEAUTIFUL MusIc.-Musc for the Nelan-
cAoiy! Aye! let it be 5reathed over the des-
ponding heart, and even if it be buried in
gloom, like :he landscape in midnight, ere long
you shall see cheerulness climbing up the
horizon Of despair, like the moon beyond the
mountains, following everything With light,
softer than the very darkness it lllumines, and
more bland than the noonlide Of unclouded
JOY. Yes! pour forth the mystic soul of song,
and the down-cast brow shall lose its cloud OF
care, and the eye shall anon beam with its
wonted cheer, and the check grow radiant
with smiles,
Music for the 1omner! Not the wild
measures that lead the dance, or that arouse
wrath in the tempest of battle Oh, mol
Soft as angel whisperugs, and plaintye as
the meanings of the anguished heart. Let
them murmur of blghted hope and buried
love. till the crushed feelings are identified
with the sympathetic strain, But bid moi
the thought long wander in the grave. Let
the melody, embodied as it were into thou
sand varied hues, gid the portals of the
tomb, and steam like to auroral glory, towards
Heaven.
