THE FUTURE OF MUSIC.
BY s. 7. WILEY.

Music is older than human language.
Birds sang ia the garden OF Eden Gro he
FIRST word fell from Adams lips. The
wind amid the trees and tho murn,uring
oLmany waters hrst taught harmony to
the listening ear. Music, centuries ago,
included astronomy, With tho arts and
sciences presided over by the MUSES..
Musical contests were part Of the
Olympic, Pythian, Isthian and Nemean
games. Plato desired harmonies i'm his
Republic, Pythagoras dream cd Of the
music of the spheres. Music has been
universal among ali nations, and the
higher their intellectual life, the more
uuis er8al It's diffusion. Music il "A lam
guago, rude in the savage, polished in
the civilized life. Music is science, and
not an accomplishment, an art, and not
a past time. We havo musical taste, let
us have musical culture.
The national sohgs OF every land give
at tunes the charm of iuvinoibility to tho
military prowess OF their warriors,
With the banners OF Franco went the
Marseillaiso inspiring to victory. What
is the German Fstherlahd, wrought with
Bismarck i'm tho uuihcation of an em-
pire. Through the dark ages, music
aided the agencies of light TO scatter tho
gloom Of darkness. The meister singers
with Hans Sachs, the musical cobblor OF
Nuremberg, made Germany a musical
people. Sankey's song power, to-day
helps TO awaken tic interest Mood ysways
for tho Gospel. Thirty years ago there
was not music school in the United
States Eben Tourjee, established in 1854
Providence ConsorvatoI y OF Music. To-
day we are receiving their benefits. Man
must live life apart from his labor, Give
him music. The world Is full Of II. Man
needs companionship and stimulus. The
gilde1 dens Of rum and sin ofer it. Give
him music i'm It's stead. Introduce music
in all our public schools. Form a music-
al association in every town ct will bo a
good temperance society, i'm addition to
public library. Found Conservatories
in every city, and tho future of music
will be n musical future of which tho
world will be the better. a musical
world can anticipate millenpial dawn.

Hon. A.. Hewitt of New York, takes
| this hopeful view OF affairs. "Thoro is no
! doubt that we axe beginning an era OF
healthful prosperity Nothing can check
il. We are the grauary for tho world
Our crop this year IS enormous. Indus
tries thrive. Last year we put down over
5000 miles ofrailroad. This year it will
be 1900. The only question isi whether
the prosperity will continue. It Is bound
10 continue, l think, but we shall have no
era ofhigh prices; simply n beautiful, re-
numerative business, with moderate
prices, that will enable consumers to go
on with their enterprises. This is true
prosperity. High prices check progress
We have got 10 that stage when every
thing will go on without an ora of high
prices"
1t Is noticeable that Mr., Tildon in an
interview few days since, used LAM
guage to tho sane general effect. Both
these men are cautious and.consorvative
besides being mon of very extensive bu-
sinoss connections and what tLey say on
such subject should therefore have
much weight
More cities dosiro the National Con-
veuuons Of tho two parties. next year
than claim tho birthplace of Honor. Tho
true place for all such gatherings il
Washington. IL is the most beautiful
and best paved city i'm the Union, and
ono of the healthiest. Tho politicians
know tho city, and most of tho delegates
of both parties will desire to see IL. Tho
attention of the proper committees is re-
specially called to our advantages.
Hon. Robert G.. Ingorsoll proposes to
organize new party, based ON tho larg-
est liberty, the taxation o. church props
erty, the repeal of laws for the observ-
anco of the SABBATH, and tho freedom of
schools from the control of superstition
At loa-t this is what he says tho party
will attempt to bring about How Robt

"Some Pumpkins."

A good joke comes to us from Reno.
The other night uncle Henry and uncle
Davy, knowing that their neighbor B.
bad fine muskmelon patch, concluded
to visit it. Thoy made thoir way IS we'll
as they could in the dark to the patch,
and afterg ,thering as many Of tho sup
posed melons as they could carry, they
started for home. After going some dis
lance uncle Dave proposed to uncle Hen
~ that they shiftthei load somewhat by
putting themselves outside of a part of IT.
To this uncle Henry said "All right
and uncle Dave, whipping out his jack
knife, ripped epen one Of the largest and
finest oftheir melons aad handed uncle
Henry piece, who on biting into It ex e
claimed: "Why Dave, I'll DO dadbobbed

and so were all they had gathered. Tboy
