James Buckham. one Of our minor
poets. put into beautiful verse an Incl
dent which occurred during the civil
war. He calls 1t "The Common Chord"
The incident was this: Two great ar
mics. one wearing the blue and one
the gray, were drawn up In prepare
ton for battle. AS the evening fell the
bands began to play. Dixie" by the
southerners was followed by yankee
Doodle" by the northerners, and Ma
ryland. My Maryland" drew out Hail
Columbia" Beautiful Girl Of the
South" was answered by Gust Before
the Battle, Mother" Each side mock
ed and jeered the others music and
cheered their own until the stars came
out and silence fell.
Then, sweet and low, band far up
the line began to play Home. Sweet
Home" Another and another joined
until all the bands on both sides were
playing in unison, and, stronger and
more beautiful still, the men on both
sides were singing the words. The
common chord had been struck, and
the thousands of combatants were at
one with the sentiment, There's nc
place like home"

The Example of Paganini.

A story is told of how Paganini once
came into the concert room, took the
violin and touched the strings. First
one string broke, and smile went
round the room; then another string
broke, and there was more audible ex-
preston OF mockery. When a third
string broke, many people laughed out
right at his discontinue. But Paga-
mini stood forth with his violin as
though nothing had happened and
played on the one string, and the peo-
pie ceased to smile, but listened spell
bound. Some of those who had derid-
ed him began to weep. and some even
prayed.
Many a man had fallen helpless by
the wayside when some great catas-
trophe turned the current Of his life
aside. The brave man pushes forward
with one remaining talent and plucks
victory from defeat.
