"I cannot feing the old song I sang long years ago, For heart and voico would fail me non, And foolish tears would flow. For bygone hours coino o'er my heart With each familiar strain; I cannot sing the old sings, Or dream those dreams again.' Old Song. A few years ago there was a de mand through the columns of the newspapers for many of the old songs which had passed out of print, and could only bo found in the good memory of some elderly person who had sung them in youth. In response to the call verses and old fragments came floating in from one corner and another; eld music books were ran sacked, and soon the entire song would be given to the public. Then elderly readers found a moisture in their eyes as they read them, and memory took them back to the glad, unconscious days of youth and hap piness, while the more youthful por tion of the community wondered what there was in those foolish old songs to make any one care to hear them again. But as these grew older and come to have a past, and the fashion of singing the old songs was revived, they learned that songs of sentiment once heard are forever re membered, for their sweet, pathetic strains sink into tne heart, and there lie dormant until fond memory touches the chords with magic fingers. And. now these same songs can bo had on the music shelves of any dealer in the concord of sweet sound. The poet and the singer are dust; the ears they once thrilled with their melancholy music have listened to the diviner melodies of heaven, but the songs ring in other ears at tuned to the minstrelsy of earth, and bring tears to other eyes, and sad memories to other hearts. It is not the music alone that bas this charm of immortality the words of the old songs have lived as the words of songs of to-day never wilL They were not written to sell. They were the swan-songs of beating hearts in many cases, and in their burden of sadness revealed the secret of a troubled life. Take the old once familiar song of "Lorena," written by the Eev. H. D. L. Webster, a young clergyman who was in his youth dis appointed in love. It was the popu lar song half a century ago. Since the verse is not even good poetry, it must have been the senti ment which endeared it to the hearts of the young people of the past It can be found in many an old scrap book, or in the fine Italian hand writing of those days, on a sheet of gilt-edged paper laid away among locks of faded hair, and other relics of memorial value only. fecs?! Wo loved each other then, Lorena, Mora than wo ever dared to tell, And what we might have been, Lorena, Had but our loving prospered well. But then 'tis past, the j'oars aro gone, I'll not call up their shadowy forms, I'll say to them, 'lost years, sleep on, Sleep on, nor heed life's pelting storms.' It matters Httle now, Lorena, Tho past'is in the eternal past, Onr heads will soon be low, Lorena, Life's tido is ebbing out so fast. There is a future, Oh, thank God! Of life this is so small a part, 'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod, But then, up there, 'tis heart to heart." There was not tho finished culture, now so necessary in music, when the singers of the past sang the songs of sentiment In any gathering there would be one girl who could accom pany herself on tho spindle-legged piano, or the melodeon. and keep the company spell-bound while she sang. One or two might leave the room, not because they criticised the music, but to rush away and wipe off the tears as some clear voice rang eut: "Do they miss mo at home, do they miss me? 'Twould bo an assurance most dear To know that this moment Borne loved one Were saying 'I wish he were here.' " There was Ben Bolt How wild everybody went over that song. How many are there of tho present gener ation who can sing that through, who know either the tune or tho words? "Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt? Sweet Alice, with hair so brown; Who wept with delight when you gave her a smile, And tremblod'With fear at your frown. "In tho old church yard in the valley. Ban Bolt, In a corner obscure and alone, They've fitted a slab of granito so gray. And sweet Alice lies under the stone." "The Watcher" was a great favor ite about tho same time that Mrs. Stevens wrote her novel of "The Lamplighter." The query among young ladies of that period was first "Have you read 'The Lamplighter?"' One copy often supplied a neighbor hood. Next, "Have you heard 'The Watcher? my cousin sings it beau tifully' Everybody's cousin sang it It was a ballad of order lachrymose. "Tho night was dark and fearful, The wind went sailing by, A watcher, pale and tearful, Looked forth with anxious eve. How wistfully she gazetb; No gleam of morn appears. Her eye to Heaven she raiseth In agony of tears. A hundred lights are glancing In yonder mansion fair, And merry feet are dancing, They heed not darkness there. Oh, young and joyous creatures, One light from out 3our store Would give the dear boy's features To his mother's gaze once more. The morning sun is shining, She heedeth not its ray; Beside her babe reclining The pale, dead mother lay. A smilo her lips was wreathing, A smile of hope and love, As if she still were breathing 'There's light for us above.' ' It used to be a-question among the gravo old deacons of those days whether these songs were fit to be sung on Sunday. The young people argued that they were, because they wanted to sing them, but they were regarded by the elders as too worldly. But these same elders liked to hear them on week days, and kept time vigorously while the pretty girl with spit-curls sang them. "Joys That We've Tasted" is an other song with a spark of immortal fire in it: "Joys that we've tasted May sometime return, But the torch when ones wasted, Ah, how can it bnrn? Splendors now clouded, Say when will ye shine? Broke is the goblet, And wasted the wine. "Many the changes Since last we met; Blushes have brightened And tears have been wept; Friends have been scattered, Like roses in bloom Some at the bridal, And some at the tomb. "I've stood in yon chamber, But one was not there; Hushed was tho lute-string, And vacant the chair. Lips of love's melody. Where are ye borne? Never to smile, Never to mourn!" There is not probably in the whole wide range of English verse a more exquisite worded poem than this. Skirting melodiously on the valley of sadness, it rises in its closing strains to the sublimest heights of inspira tion, and becomes a paen of victor'. "Wo Have Been Friends Together" was.also a popular song. It was often sung at social gatherings with a pur pur eose: "We have been friends together, In sunshine and in shade, Since first beneath the chestnut tree In infancy we played. But coldness dwells within thy heart, A cloud is on thy brow; We have been friends together, Can a light word part us now?" Juanita, witb it difficulties of pro nunciation, won a strong hold on all hearts, and is still found in the reper toire of ballad singers. Tho name is pronounced Wah-ne-ta: "Soft o'er the fountain Lingering falls the southern moon; Far o'er the mountain Breaks the day too soon. In thy dark eyes' splendor, Where tho warm light loves to dwell, Weary looks, yet tender, Speak their fond farewell. Nita! Juanita! Ask thy soul if we should part; Nita! Juanita! Lean thou on my heart." This song, passionate in phraseo logy and melody, affords splondid op portunities for a fine voice to display its power. Sung as a duet by the "girl who sung alto, the girl who sung air," it was marvelously thrilling and inspiring. It has tender, sympathetic qualities that make it a magnificent boating song. Among tho pathetic folk-songs of a day that is past is ono called "The Long, Long Wearv Day:" y j.uc iuuki luuii wcuijr uujr In tears is passed away, Yet still at evening I am weeping, As from my window's height I look out on the night, I still am weeping My lone watch keeping." The idle jingle of words which makes up the song of to-day was not accopted in those olden singing times. There was a direct and irresistible ap peal to the affections. Take such a song as "Wo Have Lived and Loved Together." In these days of easily estranged hearts the old song may not have the power to move freely the tears, as it once did, and lead to an early reconciliation. "We have lived and loved together Through many changing years. We have shared each ether's gladness And wiped each other's tears. We have never known a sorrow That was long unsoothed by thee, For thy smile can make a summer When darkness else would be." It would be an outrage on tho sci ence of classic music perhaps to say that "Koll on, Silver Moon," with the cccompaniment of flute or accordion, was once among the joys that made home a hallowed spot And many a world-wise, world-weary man has listened to the silver-tongued Patti with less enjoyment than he did to the girl with the blue dress on, who first made his heart thrill with "Sil ver Moon." It is an old-fashioned, quaintly worded madrigal: "As I strayed from my cot at the close of the day, 'Mid thoTavishing beauties of June, Neath a jessamine shade, I espied a fair maid, And she nlaintivelvsiched to the moen: Bell on silver moon, guide tho traveler on his way, While the nightingale's song is in tune: But I never, never more with my true love win stray By tho soft, silver light of tho moon.' Many who read this will recall the time when they first heard the pretty, plaintive air, ana begged the manu senpt version from the singer to copy or to commit to memory. In some neighborhoods these songs were forever legendary; some visiting gin sang them from memory, someone else translated them; words and even tines were omitted and supphed at wilL 2To one ever in a life-time saw the words or music printed. These songs are songs of places, as well as neonle. The vonntr man who has three kinds of wine at dinner cannot be expected to appreciate urandfather Woodworth's "Old Oak en Bucket' It is not one of the re membrances of his childhood. But who will denv that it would be bettei for him if it were. Songs without wuras suit mm the best for he has no memories that he wishes to revive. Ihe Hutchmsons drew crowds with the old Bongs. People went a long way to hear them or Ossian E. Dodge sing the old familiar ballads. Wo may parody and bnrlesano them, but we have nothing half f o good in our uiouern collections, and when some grand sineer stands nn before 3.000 people it is not the trilling of an Ital- " oravura, or a rench chanson, that melts all hearts to Rilonffl and tears; it is tho dear old ballad of The Last Bose of Summer," or iuut, wona-sung tremolo of the heart, "Home, Sweet Home."
