WHAT IS Music 1T is an art
founded within the nature and
being Of man. It is the language
Of the heart, which reveals in
cuphonious sounds the beauties Of
the soul. It is the whisper Of the
emotions. whose breath is the
revelation of the sentimental in
the lie Of man, freed from casualty
and objectivity through the me-
dium Of sounds. Music, Therefore,
is the analogous expression Of the
soul itself.
TIE laws Of the development Of
the souls emotions are also the
laws of musical composition. The
material for sound is furnished by
the mechanicism, which is rcgu.
lated by physical laws. But this
| material only is not music, although
| it is in the Carmen; in which she
is dressed. In the recesscs Of the
human soul, the emotions, sen-
timcnts, and passions form them
selves into the ideals, which the
artist has simply to copy. The
peculiarly Of the feeling in the
heart Of different men gives in
dividuality to composition, marks
it as the iruit Of this or that man.
but always traces it back to the
life of the soul.

How TO Be SoMEBoDy.-Don't
stand signing, wishing and wait
ing, but 90 to work with an en-.
ergy and perseverance that will
set every object in the way of
your success flying like leaves be-
fore . whirlwind. A milk and
water way of doing business leaves
a man in the lurch every time.
He may nave ambition enough to
wish himselfon the topmost round
of the ladder of success, but if be
has not the goaheaditiveness to
pull himself up there, he will in
evitably remain at the bottom, or
at best, on the very low rounds.

COURTESY IN THE HOME.

Your husband comes home at
night silent, cold or cross. All
day you have been thinking what
dear fellow he is. He did
splendid deed yesterday, over
which you so fondiy muse. No
body ou earth is quite 50 fine, or
noble or wholly to he adored as
he. He opens the door. Lo I!
your god is moody man. Some
thing has gone wrong-his digcs-
tion, very likely. He ate piece
of pie in a restaurant at noon, vile
enough 10 tear up mucuous men,
brane and temper together. He
is blind to all the little love sur
prises that you have lying in wait
for him. He knocks down your
bouquet, smashes your vases,
bungles and bangs generally. In
the keen reaction Of disappoint-
ment, you answer him shortly or
sharply. He, in his turn, says
something which indicates that he
does not think you altogether an
angel. Either Of you would die
for the other. No less, each won.
ders for the moment how the o:her
can be so disagreeable. What a
perfect evening you had pictured to
be spent together. You spend it
apart. You dump your head on
your pillow and wonder why you
were born.
The most exquisite favor of
daily existence eludes US chiefly
through the lack OF aprevalling and
pervading courtesy in our constant
intercourse with each other !;
through a careless lack of tender
consideration for the temperament
tai differences and infrmities
which exist in aIl-is "foolish and

cient why-shou!d be crossed: and

We dismiss the fact without study,
without one atom Of tender feel

tossing "friends' you have who
never fail to repeat q cutting, sar-
castle, or even rude remark who
just rs rarely speak to you one
kind or encouraging word. 1t is
Il sad comment on human nature

charitable speech is invariably
considered sincere, while the per-
son who ventures to repeat or ex-
press a very kindly one is al

him nor for his sex, but for the
other. Just us little can it Ue
doubted that men and women
dress each for their own sex that
it is the admiration Of their OWE
kind. not Of the opposite one, they
lay themselves most out for. Men
and women arc in 3 perpetual
condition Of surprise, and scoff at
each others styles, both always
emitting criticism Of their own.
Conversation equally betrays
this natural opposition. If the
sexes had real respect for one
another, would they indulge in
those unbelievable compliments :?
Neither does it 10 those OF their
own kind whom they honestly
like. The artificial style Of talk
which is the .traditionary custom
Of the sexes, is plainly that Of
creatures who do not under
stand each other and have mu.
tual suspicious. Being strange,
they betake themselves to compli
ments.
a qualification in reference to
the family relation has to be made.
! 70 man his mother is not a
woman-shc is a divinity. The
like partly holds in 4 girl of her
father. and brothers and sisters
are not Of any SEX. But get out
side of this non. sexual circle, and
the antipathy comes quickly into
play. Boys nearly hate girls, and
the feeling is returned. Old men
care nothing for women Of any
age, except as nurses: old women
creep together. 1t is only during
the central portion OF life that the
sexes can be said to be civil to one
another. In fact: if nature had
not forced men and women to
love each other during that por.
ton willy-n;lIy, and given them
that incredible and perpIexing
bribc of children, it is doubtful
whether they would have any mu-
tual liking. Love is al that ex-
lists between them.
1t is astonishing, considering &
what complete, intricate; long
association the bringing up a faml-
! ly ties i couple to, that they do
not become more really intimate
! than they do even in the best
cases. Doubt may well be felt
that there are few husbands and
wives who in spite of all the trials
they have shared, hare not at the
bottom Of their hearts q sense of
grievance one against the other.
! It is all very sad but it cannot
be helped. The sexes are par,
tial failure, and somehow has Il.
risen an enormous exaggeratlon
Of their liking for one another
Looked at calmly, the interest
each has for the other is woefully
lacking in versatility ; it is alike
monotonous and small-mere love
in fact.

THE FIRST TRAIN FROM
CHARLOTTE TO SPARTAN
Is.Ss1s.

Some time before 3 O'Clock, p.
NJ. ou Monday last, q vast assem-
bly, q! ladies' and gentlemen were
gathered acar the track Of the
Airline Railroad, to greet the ar
rival Of The first train from Char
lotte. As the clock strack the
hour, the train was deserted in
the distance, and alnids. the firing

fiji engine like . thing Of life, GID.
eI majesticaiiy through the eager
throng to the point selected f"r
the depot.
The train brought ainu, sixty
o! the prominent AMI substantial
men Of Charlotte to rejoice with
Us over this event, so important.
in our history, and which we trust
will mark the beginning Of Il new
era Of prosperity for this whole
section Of country. These visitors
were welcomed in appropriate
terms by Hon. Simpson Bobo, OF
our town, who after speaking Of
! the vast Importance OF this great
continental highway, in develop.
Jag the resources Of the country
and in restoring it to even more
than its former prosperity; paid
just and eloquent tributes to Col
onel Buford. the President: Colo
mel Sage: Chief Engineer Major
Wexford, and all associated with
them in this great work ; not for
getting the humble !aborera, with
their picks and shovels. Mr. Bo-
bo closed By inviting the excur-
tion;sts, one and all, to dinner pro-
vided for them by the citizens Of
] the town, 1T the Palmetto House.
General Young: the Mayor CT
Charlotte, responded IN 4 most
chas;e and eloquent impromptu,
which was heard with the most
eager interest by the vast throng
of ladies and gentlemen present,
and most vociterously cheered by
every one. Although not q pro.
tessional man, 1--WE believe Gene
raj Young is most graceful and ef'
fective Speaker, and Charlotte has
reason 10 feel proud Of her official
representative on this occasion.
We would not, even if we had
time and space to do so, mar tie
beauty Of his 1lonors speech by
any report which we are able to
make Of it.-CdToLiAa Spartan.
