THE INFLUENCE OF MUSIC.


Editor Bumbarger of the Nevads
Democrat who has been spending &
vacation in Baltimore, sent some very
readable letters to his paper. From
his last letter We extract the following
description ola religious service held
in the Maryland penitentiary:
As l waited in the Maryland peni'
Tertiary last Sunday. l listened to the
conv;ct's service. The choir from the
little church around the corner had
come to sing. and they brought with
them beautiful boquets and growing
plants. Piled upon the chapel pulpit
they made q pyramid of beauty, and
every flower seemed to have . tongue
and . story for the prisoners. A
story Of the past. They brought
visions of cbildhood's happy hours,
green hills and liberty.
As I waited . frail young girl,
with tears in her eyes, commenced to
sing.
Her voice was soft and sweet and
low: it had heart tones in it. She
felt what she sang and the hardened
criminals felt it too.
Every word was a. clear q the
warbling Of the morning. She was
singing Of home, that dear old child
ish lullaby:
Hush, ny babe, lie still and slunber,
Holy angels guard thy bed"
And the soul of the singer touched
the imprisoned souls of the listeners.
Hardened men bowed their heads
in their hands and wept like tender
children. The heart Of the fair singer
was moved and her voice vibrated
like wind swept harp, beneath the
tender touch Of song.
What a rare gift it is, this gift of
song, and how many peoples souls
have been lifted up from the mud and
mire by the songs Of 8 me gifted girl.
She sang Of home, and 10, the sa-
cred vision Of home came up before
600 imprisoned, immortal souls. She
s .ng of mother, and dead faces came
to life again, and 600 men heard that
little bygone prayer;
'Now lay me down to sleep"
She sang a lullaby Of angel guards
until the prison air seemed filled with
the whisperings Of the past, and the
finger of hope pointed to the glisten-
lug sands Of the great beyond.
And then with a sigh the voice
died away; the song was finished.
Finished? Not this side the shores
Of time. Music is but q part of a
shoreless, sea, its echo rolls from soul
TO soul, and its influence will be hand
ed down 60 long as there is a heart to
cheer or a life to be lifted from the
pitfalls of sin.
