PARALLELS OF
SAFED THE SAGE

other girls dared play. for they had
not been away to a conservatory
And the daughter would not play,
for her sheet musick had not ar
rived. Neither would she sing, D
she said that she was out of practice,
having recently studied only theory
and composition and fugue and
counterpart.
And | said unto her, it is moi an
excess of musick culture that ailetn
thee, but the need of chastisement.
In the days when thou couldest bare
ly play the Sweet Bye and Bye so
that it might be told from Yankee
Doodle thy musickal talent was good
for something. Thou vert a joy unto
thy father and a comfort to thy
mother; thou couldest add happi-
ness to the life of thy friends. But
now thou knowest just enough to be
useless.
And I asked. knowest thou n
of the sweet ballads, as the Last
Rose of Summer, or Coming
Through the Rye?
And she said. Yea; but they are
very old and simple.
And 1 said, Go thou to the piano,
and play and sing. Thou hast given
this party a frost. and chilled the
heart of all present. Go thou back
and warm up with something that
they love.
And she did as I told her. Aud
the heart of all present was warmed.
And certain of the other girls played.
And the hour waxed late. some
of the younger folks said: Let us
sing some of those good old-timers
that we used to like. And she play
ed for them.
So her musickal education did not
quite spoil her after all. And when
she hath a Musickal Education that
is much better. she will know better
the worth of my lesson to her.

tl0n.
Once upon a time there was a
man who had a daughter. And ne
loved Musick. And as h damseI
grew. she sang: and the singing
eIaddened his heart and the heart
Of her mother. And they bought
her a piano. and hired a teacher,
who came to the house and gave her
lessons at fifty cents an hour. And
! the lesson was worth every cent or
it. For the damsel soon could play
| scales and exercises. and between
times would pick out n with one
finger. to the great joy of her father.
And when the time came that she
could take the hymn book and SIT
down on Sunday afternoon, and play
the Sweet Bye and Bye without very
many mistakes. her father wiped his
eyes and thanked God for his daugh-
ter and for her musickal attain
ments. And there were evenings
when the young folks gathered. and
| she seated herself at the piano and
played the Swanee river and Seeing
Nellie Home, and they all sang and
were glad.
Now there came an evil day, n
person saying, thy daughter hath
musickal ability. Now. therefore.
send her away that she may study
musick.
So they sent her away to a con-
se%rvatory: and they shut down the
cover of the piano. And on Sunday
afternoon her father said. 1t is lone
ly. but when she returneth she will
play TO beat the band.
And it came to pass that at the
end of certain days she returned
with a musickal education. Ano
l was among those present on the
evening when they gave a welcome
