lane--lct a serenade commence, and how
your spirit, as it seemingly awakens into
new life, drinks in the foretaste Of heaven.
Far away from the scenes Of our carly
days, how often, as Sweet Homo" falls
upon our ears, Nre we reminded Of home,
friends and departed joys, as memory
carries us back through the dim vista Oi
time to the scenes of long ago.
Music refnes the taste, ennobles the
mind, comforts the mourner, calms the
troubled spirit, makes man more content
cd with his lot and more lcnient toward
his fellow man. Ifit were more general
ly cultivated there woule be more content
lncnt and happiness, and less cnmity, self
ishncss and sin. Those best love music
who have great souls.
