The Poor Mans Music.
BY HANNAH E. BRADBURY.

One writer very broadly asserts that
the poor mans only music is the sound
of the llage bells He probably thought
that poverty destroyed the sense of hear
ing. SO that the rich gush Of unwritten
music which floats around US could only
be enjoyed by those who possess GER
tain amount Of money. He might have
failed TO recognize the sweet music of
birds and bees. of winds and waves, and
therefore imagined that music was pro-
duced alone by the organ. piano. or harp.
Probably none of us are willing 10 adj
nit that poverty blunis the sensibiiiies;
and the poor man can enjoy the criket's
song beside his hearth. the tea-kettle's
merry whistle. and the prattle of his joy
