A GREAT record of cures, une qualled in medical history, proves Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses merit un known to any other MEDICINE. Degeneracy In Song. [Allendale Pen and Press] It is a sad state of affairs, indeed, when “Coon” songs, all of them of a light and frivolous character, few containing real melody or merit as artistic compositions, and many decidedly coarse, take precedence of the really beautiful songs of romance or the sweet and touching ballads of love and home, which have long held their sway over the hearts of the music-loving public. Stroll down a fashionable residence street in almost any city and through the shaded lacedraped windows of beautiful homes you may iiear the strains of “Hot Times.” or “My Gal’s a High Born Lady” played by jewelled fingers on a grand piano, and per chance the cheap senseless words are sung by a sweet cultivated voice, fitted only for the beautiful songs which elevate those who sing and those who listen. In simpler village homes, where refinement and courtesy have ever been the watch-word, and where the delightful pastime of gathering around piano or organ to join in the dear old songs of other days and the bright little ballads which every season the pernicious influence of the “coon” song is intruding, and even in the great innocent country whose very air seems to breathe the tender melody of “The Old Oaken Bucket,” “Old Folks at Home,” and other songs of real thought and deepest feeling, we, in passing a sweet, cool, farm house, hear a poor little maid who Hatters herself on having the “latest” shrilly warbling “All coons look alike to me., to the jerky accom paniment of a parlor organ. Expressions and quotations from these songs are constantly in evidence in our conversation, and jokes, puns, etc. relative to the sensational ditties are becoming frequent, and appre ciably cheapening the quality of the talk from which our young people derive entertainment. Friends, we are treading on dan gerous ground. Our tastes are deteriorating. Let us go back to the music that is music, in word and melody, before the gaudy ballad of third-rate music halls, and other questionable places of amusement, destroy entirely our appreciation and love for the good, the pure and the beautiful in song.
