We are little inclined to be "hunker'
ish" in all our views and feelings. 1t is bet
ter to be too slow, than too fust. We are
not opposed to improvement and progress
but we could never see any good reason for
throwing away tina: which is substantial, use
ful or beautiful, simply because it is old
These remorks apply particularly to the
subject of music. The country has become
60 flooded with new styles and new combi-
nations that the old substantial stunes--the
solemn anthems which our fathers and
grandfathers were wont to sing, are almost
forgotten; at least they are quite out OF fash
ion. To our notion, there 10 more real har-
mony, more genuine soul-stirrng music in
many Of the tunes composed forty and fifty
years ago, than those Of recent composition
and which are so popular now.
We are happy in being able to announce
that there will he given on the evening OF the
22nd day of April, 1856, an "Old Folks
Concert. The pieces selected will be ia.
ken entirely from the musical collections
published many years ago. Among those
we have heard named. are The Judgment
Anthem, Ode to Science, Montgomery, De.
light, &c.
The entertainment will be the finest of the
season. All who love music, old and young
should be present.
