My thoughts 90 home to that old brown house.
With its low roof sloping down TO the east.
And its garden fragrant with roses and thyme,
That blossom no longer. except in rhyme.
Where the honey-bees used to feast.
Afar in the west the great hills rose,
Silent and steadfast, and gloomy. and gray;
I thought they were giants. and doomed 20 keep
Their watch. while the world should wake or
sleep,
TIN the trumpet should sound on the Judg-
ment day.
I used to wonder Of what they dreamed
AS they broodcd there In the silent night.
While March winds smote them or June rains
fell
Or the SHOWS Of winter their ghostiy spell
Wrought in the long and lonesome night.
They remembered Q younger world than ours.
Before the trees on their tops were born.
When the old brown house was itself tree.
And waste were the fields where now you see
The winds astir in the tasseled corn.
And was 90 young as the hills were old.
And the world was warm with the breath OF
spring.
And the roses red and the lilies white
Budded and bloomed for my hearts delight
And the birds In my heart began to sing.
But calm in the distance the great hills rose.
Deaf unto raptures and dumb unto pain.
Since they knew that Joy is the mother of Grief
And remember butterfiy's life Is brief,
And the sun sets only TO rise again.
They will brood. and dream, and be silent as
now.
When the youngest children alive to-day
Have grown 20 be women and men. grown old.
And gone from the world like a tale that Ia
told,
And even these echoes forget to stay.

The best lessons cost but a trife more
than cheap or poor lessons; but the good
lessons will save you years of time, and
you enter upon your success, and get
your money back, many years sooner.
Out of the two millions of young people,
there are less than dozen year who
make any noticeable mark. What is the
reason?
In an experience of 80 years have
had all possible kinds of pupils; good and
poor, diligent and lazy, talented and
stupid; and also many very successful
ones. / have watched them all very
closely, and ! think / can tell you why
some failed and others succeeded.
The prime requisites are: 1. The love
of music. 2. The best instruction. 8.
How to study. 4. When to study. 5.
Where to study. 6. A good instrument.
2. How to make it all successful.
1t will be quite useless for you to go
into music unless you have an absorbing
love for it; mere admiration for it viii
count for little or nothing.
A love for it shows the talent for it.
Let me prove this to you. Suppose you
like red better than any other color. This
is evidence that there is something within
you more strongly allied to the color of
red than any other color; if it were not
SO you would like some other color
equally well or better. Do you not see
that this is self evident proposition?
Now instead of the red color. let US sup
pose it is music you like best-the con-
clusion is inevitable that you have talent
for music. IL American Musician.
