Will S. Hayes of Louisville has
made small fortune by writing songs.
Among his popular compositions are
"Mollie Darling,' "Norah O'Neal,"
aud "Evangeline." But he got no
money for the latter. though 1t gave
him a start in his business. "Just be-
fore the war;" he says, 81 was with
some young visitors up in Oldham
County, KY. Among them was a
young girl who resembled the ideal
pictures of Longfellow's sEvaugeline'
so closely that I called her by the
name. We danced at an outdoor
frolic, one evening, and soon discovered
that four of us could sing together.
We tried popular quartets, and got
along 80 we'll we became enthusiastic.
About two O'Clock in the morning we
started to walk home. The night was
as bright as day, with the full moon
hanging in the sky, and as we walked
we sang. We sat down in a nook to
rest, and sEvangeline' began to sug-
gest other songs to sing. tl'll write
you song,' said I, sif you promise to
sing it before we go homc.' This was
agreed to. On the opposite side Of the
road was a white plank fence. Where
we were sitting party OF negroes had
| been roasting ears of corn, and the
cnareu SUCKS lay al aTOuuu. " I'LL
them I wrote the first verse of the
song on the top plank OF the fence,
and the notes for four voices on the
planks beneath. Then we stood off
and sang it. The girls were delighted,
and insisted on having chorus, so I
wrote the chorus on the planks. Well,
we sang it over and over, and went
home singing it. Next morning
sEvangeline' came down stairs hum
ming tho air, and asked mo to write
it out and finish it. I told her I
couldn't do it, but she might go down
and copy it off the fence. She took an
umbrella and sheet of paper, and soon
came back with words and music.
Then she insisted on having another
verse; SO 1 wrote another verse, on
condition that I was to have a kiss for
it, and she to have the music.' Hays
sent the composition to various music
dealers, but couldn't sell it, and it was
at length made public by tho voice of
Campbell, the negro minstrel. Three
hundred thousand copies have been
sold, but the kiss was the only pay tho
. . author has received. %

The story of the life of great man
is inspiring. Emerson says that books
are designed "to inspire - and no
book can so stir the reader to noble en-
deavor as biographical.
Olives of great men all remind us,
We can make our life sublime"
Biography is also instructive. 1t is
instructive not merely in regard to the
man himself, but also in respect to all
in which he was Interested. Reading
life of Napoleon one learns not only
about the great Emperor, but also
about methods of warfare and of
diplomacy. Reading q life Of Living
ston one learns much about Africa !; its
productions and tribes. Reading Stan
ley's "Arnold," one gets clear idea
not only of the great school-teacher at
Rugby, but also of English schools,
boys, games and character. il
But the reading Of biography is at
tended with perils. The biographer is
usually a eulogist. He praises the
virtues, and with light touch passes
this tendency the reader is liable
to sympathize; he is inclined, as
is the writer, to idealize the
statesman whom he is studying.
But tho reader ought to be as
sharp sighted to see faults and as ready
to condemn them, as he is to praise ex-
cellences.
Allied to this peril of eulogy is the
danger of accepting the opinions of the
biographer as conclusive and :.precisely
right: His opinions are formed from
certain facts. The reader should study
| to discover if other opinions may not
| also be based upon the same facts.
The biographer adopts certain theories
to explain certain acts. The reader
should endeavor to learn if other thee.
ries are not equally reasonable. One
biographer makes Napoleon's divorce
an act of noble selt-sacrifice far the well
fare of France; another the ambition
of faithless husband and selfish ruler
to establish his family on the French
| throne. Which is the true theory ?
One biographer judges that the 9TH OF
March speech of Mr.. Webster was an
attempt at the Cancellation of the North
and the South In order to gain the
presidency another is convinced that
it was the expression of his firm belief
founded on thorough study of the
Constitution. Which supposition is
the moro reasonable?
| To avoid these two perils of eulogy
and of accepting the opinions of the
writer as exactly right, on should road
with his mind active and reflective
