The Philosopher Writes Touchingly of Dead Poet HE GIVES US MANY QUOTATIONS The Bartow 5ngc In a Reminiscent Mood Speaks of Poetry That (ilves Us Nohie Feelings. Septimus Winner is dead. 1 never heard of liini until the other day. when a brief notice in a New York paper attraeted my attention. For sixty years lie was a musical composer and a writer of songs. lie was the author of many of the sweetest pieces that ever eharnte 1 titir households, and yet we never 1 ?ard oi him. Fifty years ago my \vii< used (o play, "C'<n.e iiste.i to the mockingbird." and I : companied her on the flute, anil was proud of my skill. Then there is "What I.- Home Without a Mother" and "Whlsp ring Hope" and "How Sweet Are the itoses." lie mr.de over 2.000 muvlca' compositions and published books ii instruction for ? very kind of musical insturnient. After tlie seven days fight before Richmond. MfClelan was r? moved hecauso of his defeat and Hal- j leek was put in his place. This displeased the soldiers very much, for they were piornl of "I.ittle Mac" and loved him. and so Winner took up their grievance and wrote a song and composed the music, "Hive Me Back My Old Commander." The air was simple and the words pathetic, and it soon was caught by the ariuy of SO.OOO men. and could lie heard for miles along tin lines and in the camps, it was inspiring and significant and made Stanton mad. He said it was demoralizing and an insult to (deneral Halves and must be stopped, and lie issued an order to + ?rr 1 rtr * ? * umi r.uTi. cm course, inr uoys sioppol i singing in the daytime or on the march, but away in the dead of night a whole regiment would break out. "Oh! give us ba< k our old commander." Then Stanton ordered its publication stopped and threatened to arrest Winner, lint | Winner had sold the copyright and couldn't stop it. A famous singer dared to sing it on the stage in New York city, and she was warned not to do so any more, but siie repeated it. and Stanton had to give it .up and let it wear its if out. Winner was the winner of that light, and Stanton made a fool of himself. Stephen Collins Foster was another composer who was very dear to us Li his day. and charmed million# with his exquisite melody. We old-fashioned people still call upon our children to co info it us with "Old Folks at Home," "Uncle Ned," "(), Susannah," "Old Dog j Tray." "Nellie Hly" and "Mv Old Kentucky Home." The royalty on this las: ! piec e made him a good sum of money, j What would the traveling minister have clone without his songs. Hut in his last years he aspired to a higher plan j of composition, and wrote such beau- ( tlful pieces as "Come Where My Low j Lies Dreaming." He was a man of fine ' culture and familiar with many for- | eign languages. He, too. is dead and j there has no one come to take their places as composers of these sweet fireside songs. Shapcspeare says. "The evil that 1 men do lives after them. The good *.s j often interred with their bones." Well, i it is often, but not always. Isaac Watts has been dead one hundred and fifty years, but his beautiful hymns and his cradle songs arc still familiar to every Christian household. "Hush, my clear, lie still and slumber." has soothed to sleep thousands of little childre n. "Let clogs delight to bark and bite." is the first little speech of childhood, and next comes "How doth the little busy hnn Tl.? ?- - .iic- 11 jr in 11 uookr or all Christ Inu i churches abound in his beautiful verses, such, as "When I Can Read My Titles Clear." "There Is a I .and of Pure Delight" ami "While the lamp holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return." These were not interred with his bones and will live through the ages. Sometimes the man or woman who did the good is forgotten, but the good remains. Not one cliureh member in a thousand in this country knows who wrote the Doxology that is sung a.'J I over the world. "Praise (? >d from whom all blessings llow." Thomas Km has been dead two hundred years, but those four lines will live and boubtless j oe is in heaven and hears more of his j own verse and music than any saint 1 around the throne of God. Shakespeare i might have said with more truth. "The good that men do lives after them." Our venerable Judge Warner went north in his old age to revisit the home of his youth and found the town adorned and shaded with beautiful elms; around the churches and along the sidewalks?trees that he planted j half a century before and had never i .->cfu aiitvt- he came to Georgia to tench school. The high tops of those trees seemed to reach the sky and men and women walked and children played under their shade, hut not a human being In that town remembered him or micw wno planted those trees. He found one old schoolmate, but he was Mind an 1 in the poor house. Fifty-five years ago when I first visited the little town of Home I noticed a good old man by the name of Smith?Johnny Smith he was called?and he. too. was plant:ng little tree3 abound the (-'"Tches He was " lover of ornament and he was doing it without pay. but not without reward. Thry grew apace and ga\ some shade before he died, and kept on growing until they, too almost reached the sky and are st'M there, living, breathing monument to the - od old man But who knows who planted them?who besides myself? And there is my old friend and part v, judge Uranham, who for twenty-live years has been working ? n that beautiful cemetery on Myrtle Hill? making new walks and grading them. 1 .ylng off lots on the new purehate. building walls on the steep slopes, planting trees and flowers and in many ways ornamenting and beautifying the city of the dead. Within a few more years he will be one of its sleeping citizens and later on another generation will frequent the romantic place an 1 wonder who shaped it into beauty, and nobody can tell. Dr. Johnson said that every man ought to plant a tree oi write a book or do something for the OeoeOT and comfort of those who are I to llrr after he ij dead. "Our forefathers did much for us." he said, "and we must pay the debt." I^aat week our school girl wanted a speech. Her mother and I ransacked the books for one that was short and And now he waiksthe streets anil looks to chose from. There was Mrs. Neman's beautiful poem on "Death!" 'Leaves have their time to fall. And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath." Then there was part of "The Fisherman's Prayer" by Jean lugelow. and "The Last Leaf." by Oliver H. Holmes, which was not so solemn and I liked it the best. It just flts n man I know anc| I never see him but what I think Vtiuor nun tutu llliUIUIUilh VCI SVS. "I saw him nine before?as he passed by the door? And agani. The paving stones resounded as he tot ters o'er the ground With liis cane, sweet, and we selected three or four ! at those he meets. Sad and wan; And he shah cs liis feeble head and it 1 seems as if he said: %Phe> are gone!" The mossy marbles rest on the lips that lie lias pressed In their hloont. And the names he loved to hear have been carved for many a year On the tomb." Our old man is in his ninetieth year and lias seen trouble. He is tall and stooping and steps short and sure. His friends are all dead, hut he goes about with a long cane and looks hard at you when you stop to greet him and then he tries to smile. If he knows yon. i "When lie was in his prime- ere the ; pruning knife of Time Cut hint down? Not a better man was found by the erier on his round Through ihe town: Rut now his nose is thin and it rests upon his chin Like u staff. And a crook is in his back and melancholy crack Is in his laugh." Then the poet repents and says: "1 know it is a sin for me to sit and grin At him here: Hut his old-fashioned hat and his breeches and all that, Are so queer." \nd now it becomes me to apologize to the readers of my last letter and toll them that a friend from Augusta has supplied the missing links in my history of the presidents. Franklin Pierce's mother was Anna Kindt-it k. .lames Huehnnnan's mother was Elizabeth Speer. Henjainin Harrison's mother was Elizabeth Irwin. Millard Filmore's wife was Abigail Powers. Huchunan was the only bachelor president. And Alfred Iverson was United States senator in IStll instead of Hen Hill. When 1 wrote my last letter I was laboring under some little excitement, for that morning about i a. m. the burglars got into our house and perused the front rooms and hall and upstairs and found nothing they wanted, j There was a feeble light in our bedroom and they could see my pants from tiie window, for they hung on a chair near by. and they wanted the money that wasn't in the pockets. They cut out the lower slat of the blind and unfastened it and raised the sash, hut suddenly got alarmed and departed those Coasts, for which I nm th.-ml.-fiO for l hail no gun or pistol.

J The average American would never J suspect from reading this alone that J there was a railroad train involved in { the proceedings. On the contiary. he j would suppose that she was going t somewhere in a vehicle drawu by J horses, and that her trunks were to j be taken in a separate conveyance? j perhaps a moving van. Ono may < guess at what is meant by the dressing < bag. but what in the world was the * lady's object in carrying rugs with j her? Here, wo understand that rugs ' are articles to be spread upon floors * to take the place of carpets. No * American lady would bo likely to start * on a journey with her arms full of J those useful and often costly ma- * tennis. Hut the Knglish lady's rugs J wore not to be walked on. They vpre j to put over her knees for the purpose j of keeping her legs warm. In this * Country tfc.y would perhaps ho called J blankets, if any one ever had occasion j to tjse such things while traveling uu J an American railway.
