Some months had passed since the
marriage in the little church at st.
Byno's, and the young lord was, if pos
sible, more in love with his wife than
ever. She had grown more beautiful,
because the character of her beauty
was more refined. Lord RIVERS him
self was one Of the most refined of
men. Constant association with him
had given grace and courtesy to her
manner that nothing else could have
given. When Lord RIVERS had first
met Violet at St. Byno's she had been
quick and clever in an extraordinary
degree, but her education had been a
simple one. Since that time she had
read a great deal, and Lord RIVERS had
been most careful in his selection OF
books for her.
You must read what every one else
reads" he said to her one day. so
many quotations from and illusions to
fayorite books are made in society,
that one must be pretty well educated
and we'll read even to follow the con
gersation."
Il like reading Violet said, laugh
ing but why do you prepare me as
though it would be my fate to mix with
so many clever people?"
1T will he your fate at some future
time, - he replied.
DO you consider all artists clever
she asked quickly.
They should be- he answered, "or
they Will make very poor artists"
Lord RIVERS was very proud of his
young wife. He had not dared pur.
chase such a wardrobe as he desired
for her, fearing that by so doing her
suspicious would be excited. but he had
Insisted on her wearing beautiful
dresses; and, although she had cried
ont against the extravaganza. she was
pleased with his purchases, and en-.
joyed wearing her exquisite costumes.
One evening when they were going
out he had looked at her with a most

appalled,. He said to himself that be
lore he told her his secret he must
b lad her heart to his so closely, SO
gntly, that nothing could ever detach
-, so firmly that her predudices would
all die in the light of her love.
That evening, as they sat in one OF
the beautiful! saloons that look over the
gardens OF the Tuileries, Violet sang
to him, and this was the song she
chose
4 wonder where we two shall meet,
wonder If old love still lives,

II years must pass ere one forgives
Z fate viii lead our footsteps on
Until the waiting hours be past,
When truth shall lend her golden light
And heart shall beat Tor heart at

Sometimes sometimes thus | wonder,
Love- cannot tell you why.
Once we loved long ago;
That may be the reason
Love must waken by and by
Il wonder where your life is passed,
Or if in sun or if in shade,
II time has flown on silver wing,
Or brought the flowers that bloom

Sometimes, sometimes thus / wonder,
Love- cannot tell you why.

That may be the reason

"A sweet song and sad song" said
Lord RIVERS, mot a song that suits
me. Come here. Violet"
Here" meant TO the balcony from
which they could see the grand old pal
ace where kings and queens reigned
and suffered and enjoyed, the grand
old trees that stood serene and calm,
although the kings that had once adj

The moon was shining bright as day.

The Negro melodies are the rea
inspiration of the American compes
ers. The character and sources O.
American music have long been
favorlte topic Of discussion anon
foreign composers and musicians
After profound study of the subject
and deep research into the mass O
wild and somewhat mOnotonous In
dian songs, or rather chants, | hav.
come to the conclusion that the era.
die of American music lay below Ma
son and DiXOn's line. and that it is
the Negro to whom we owe the serie
of melodies comprising our nationa
music.
And whiletthe Negro melody, sim
pie and inornate, has the merits of
originality, the so-called ''high'' mu
sic INDUCED in by our composers
presents nothing but the same mel
ody treated IN more or less-and
more often less-musicianly way.
A popular. melody, however hum
BILE, always illustrates the nationa
spirit Of its people, whether it be ga,
or melancholy. The Roumanian
peasant in the vast plains of Jassy
sings a melody which is entirely dis
tinct from the war song of the Cos
sack on the Dnieper. And the wal
song of the. Cossack is different from
the plaintive and melancholy chant
Of the Volga moujik.
Thus not only each nation, but
even each great section, has its mel
0dy, the character of which de-
pends upon geographical divisions.
conditions Of life, environment and
political well being.
The Negro melody has undergone
many metamorphoses; and from the
sad 'Pickaninnies song of the old
slavery days it has developed into
the gay, careless, devil-may-take-us
sort Of jig. As the slave became {
freeman, his heart, which heretofore
had found its utterance in melan-
eholy and plaintive song, turned tc
the gayer side of life, and the SIM
pie four-fourths measure gradually
acquired the syncopated meter
which breathes joy and love Of life.
Tt is the Negro who is the inno-
vator in this country in "syncopat-
ed" meter. You can take any classi-
cal composition-for instance, the
wedding march Of Mendelssohn-
and adapt it to the ''syncopated'
measure, and the innovation viii
have beautiful effect.
cannot say that our composers
IN their treatment of these melodie
have in any way improved them. Ir
their primitive state they had, as !
said before, the merit of originality
a merit which they lost on account
IF unskilled treatment.
If asked today whether these "rag-
time" songs actually represented
American music. [ would answer:
''No; they are but the mutilatec
forms of it; for the genuine popula
music you must 60 back to the ole
Negro melodies. We have aban
doned our sources merely to 60 bach
