Music ! What Is It ? In vain we seek Its definition through tho medium of language, while the lexicographer is satlsflod with a primary meaning such as the "itctence of Kouuih," Including the laws of acoustics, with Its vibrations, undulations, oscillations, etc., wbllo the great art-problem remains un solved. For wantof some better explanation we will agreejwlth the popular statement that music Is the language of emotion. Just how music becomes the vehicle by which our va rious emotions are expressed with all their olatlons, depressions, Intensities and varie ties is almost beyond human ken; and ainoe It would Involve a'psychologlcal question too deep for our present use, we will pass on to the rational conclusion that music means tiomcihivg at least. Music Is action. It Is ac tion to some useful end, If not pervertod and distorted by Ignorance and superstition. That girl who sings ami plays her favorite pleco while alone in the parlor, slugs more tuau a song. That lonely, little sorrower. hardly more than a child, who sits dreaming ni nor iiatio,wnue uer lingers wuiu wun gen- , " a" OVer ",B eOQI ,VOIJ KeVH Bn" I through a favorite waltz, Is playing no mere study orsot piece. Her eyes ure half closed. her heart is tar awav: she dreams a beautiful dream as the long yellow light fades In the west, and tho wet Tine loaves tremble outside to tne tireu lire, and nuoyanoy to the heavy ' heart! Happy rain of tears nnilstormy wind of slgbs sweeping the sky clear, ami showing once more tue ueep nine neaven- ot tne soul beyond. Let no one say the moral effects of muslo aro small orlnelgnlflcant. The cottage piano or the cabinet organ has probably dos more to sweeten existence aud bring pear and happiness to families in general than alt l" Precepts on the domestic virtues ever yet i,:;,1"' Then notion that the pursuit of music, nwins u. us oiuiiiiin ciianicier, is preiuiliciat to health and longevity, gathers but small weight from facts. Oteat csun posers as a rule have been remarkably healthy and long-llv-fd. I'alestrina lived totheageorni; Handel, -t Haeh.iU: aiuck.7.'!i Plcsslnl. 72; Haydn, 77; lteethnveu, r5; Spohr, r, ltosslnl, 7H and Auber still composed and was In the enjoy ment of excellent health at tbe advanced age ofy On the other hand, Mozart died at tbe early age nf X; Bellini at .13; Mendelssohn at , and Chapln at !)'. Hence, we conclude from tbe above facts that the life of tbe musi cian Is above tbe average, and that the sturiv and practice of music do not necessari'V Impair the mental or physical condition of man any more thau any thlnic else Indulged in to excess. Music Is that spontaneous outpouring of the soul by which man reveals to man the Idea or tbe beautiful. Like the sound of bells at night, breaking tbeslleneeonly totead the spirit Into deeper peace; like a leaden cloud lu aioru, rising lu gray twilight to haag H golden mist before the furnace or tbesan; like tbe dull, deep pain or one who sltl an empty room watching the shadow of tbe rire-lbcht. full of Memories: like the nlalnt nf I.scmiIs that are wasted with suflenng and Burning; hkb one woo rrook a precipice-leaps out upon the warm midsummer air toward tbe peaceful valleys below, and feeling him self buoyed up with wings that suddenly fall him, wakens in great despair from hi wild dream, so Is be who can listen, understand, and appreciate Mu.iie.
