"lOneli nation has its own pecu liar music, and although the music of one country seldom appeals to the people of another, we can see dearly the temper and character of a j.'ople by their national music.

How could anyone hero in \iuerlca listen to the band play, "My Country, !Tls of Thee," and not be filled with love for his country, or rejoice in tho fact that this Is his own, his native land. "Soldiers marching to war are inspired by the sound of martial music, and they go into battle with braver hearts and without fear. The martial strains fire the enthu siasm of thoVutrlot to deeds of he roisms, and ho willingly risks his life In the cause of liberty. The sweet striaus of that old, old song, 'Home, Sweet Homo,' have kept ma ny a youth from the temptation by reminding, him of the mother who had always bidden him follow the path of right. There are no feel ings which do tiot find relief In music, music the fiercest grief can charm, and fate's severest rage dis arm. Longfellow admirably shows the soothing power and Influence of music when he says, 'And tho night shall be filled with music, and the cares that Infest tho day, shall fold their tents like Arabs, :r uinl silently steul away,' "--(luff ln?y ledger I'KHKON \L MKVftON, Items of Interest CoiiccriiliiK City and Ci.unty I'eople.
