The Haydn Concert Tonight

This evening the Haydn Association will
add Spohrs fine oratorio, The Fall of Babylon
to the list of compositions which have been
rendered for the first time in America by this
chorus. The enterprise of the association as
well as its adequate musical performances
deserve thorough and hearty recognition from
our citizens. The concerts of this and to-mor-
row evening will be of marked worth and en-
'oyment. A few words, indicating the plan
and scope OF the Fall of Babylon, may interest
our readers as giving them hint of the fine
quality of the composition to be presented.
The work is one of great power and variety
exceedingly dramatic in subject and treat
ment. The argument opens with the wailing
OF the lsraelites beside the rivers of Babylon
and the prayer of the prophet Daniel In con-
trast with this scene is the camp of CYRUS,
who accepting the task OF delivering the Jews
from bondage, arouses his army to vengeance
upon Babylon. The Persians then encamp
beyond the walls of the city, and the hope of
freedom dawns upon the captives-at first
spoken as if under the breath, in hidden pla-
ces; then rising to climax of prophetic re-
ioicing.
The second part of the oratorio represents
Belshazzar's Feast and the dramatic quality,
artistic reserve and superbly varied musical
treatment of this scene are worthy of the lofty
and refined genius of Louis Spohr. The chorus
in praise of the false gods, the dialogues of
Belshazzar with the soothsayers and with Dan
lei, the entrance of the Persian army and the
pious rejoicings of the Israelites form a power
fully designed and contrasted musical picture
The strength, variety and effectiveness of the
oratorio cannot fail to please the lover of mu-
sic, however little may be his technical Guilt
walton; while to the experienced ear, Spohr's
harmonic work is peculiarly interesting. His
use of chromatic and enharmonic progressions
is exceedingly frequent; and the scholarly and
elaborate harmonics are rarely allowed to GOV.
er or confuse the melodic form. The compost
ton is throughout as spirited as it is learned.
The solo parts are allotted as follows:
Daniel. ....... .........Mr. Will H. Stockbridpe
Cyrus. Mr. VIM. Mather- Porteous
Beshazzar. Mr.. j. b. Coyle DR.

possibly quite as effectual, is a mild

a few years ago, in certaia Baptist

4 HAPPY BLTND MAN.-Ihere IS
no better evidence Of how man Of
true moral courage car rise above
eny calamity which befells him than
that Which is afforded by Professor
Facet, the blind member of the
English Parliament. In addressing
an audience Of tind people lately he
told hem that when be lost his sight
he was determined he would otiil en-
10y t outdoor a@usements Of which
he was 50 fond. To day, he says, he
can take long uiks with friend,
skate for hours At time, follow the
hounds At good round gallop, aud
Land q salmon almost as dextrousiy
as ever. This is surely enjoying
life better than by sitting down and
mouroing over misfortaoes, and
thinking that al that can be done IS
to live a life Of retrospec,ion. As to
charities for the blind, Mr. Fawett
thinks that the young can only be
thoroughly trained ia such inst'iu-
lions.

He naturally bought that this was

but he YVES conscientious in his pro-
fession. He got his horse and rode
away with the messenger right into
the gang Of desperadoos, aud dis
mounting, entered the teut of the

while the man who had promised to
kill the doctor stood near by, The
doctor drew his revolver, placed it
on the PILLOW ard remarked that he
would "a:tend to professional calls
first and personal ones after yard. !"
The desperadoes we're struck with

that he is able to move about as
