1t is the tender lullaby Of the young
mother that quiets her sweet babe
and bushes 1t into forgetfulness by

and to self sacrifice, and we cannot
explain its wonderful influence.

Music hath charms whether It be
in trumpet sounds or in tine tremor

Music beats in, unison with every
true heart; it makes us happy at
times and sad at others. We feel
