JV SECRET.
lly bouI its secret hath, my life too bath its
mystery,
A love eternal in a moment's upace con
ceived Ilopelens the evil is, I have not told its
history,
And she who was the cause nor knew it nor
believed.
Alas) I shall have passed close by her nnper
ceived, Forever at her side, and yet forever lonely,
I shall unto the end have made life's journey,
only
Daring to Ask for naught, and having naught
received.
For her, though God hath made her gentle
and endearing,
She will go on her way distraught and with
out hearing
These murmurings of love that round Lor
steps ascend,
Tiously faithful still nnto her austere duty,
Will say, when she shall read these lines fall
of her beauty,
"Who can this woman be?" and will not com
prehend. Felix AnvEns.

"The English Note-Books of Nathaniel
Hawthorne," O. S. Hill ard; "In tho Old
Churchyard at Fredericksburg," F. W. Loring;

Harrow; "A Handful of Translations," H.
W. Longfellow; "A lteminiscence of Ben
ton;" "A Day with tho Shovel-Makers;"
"lie views and Literary Notices."
Mr. John S. Dwight, editor of J) wight's
Journal of Music, in his paper entitled
"Music as a Means of Culture," makes an
eloquent plea for a more extended knowledge
and appreciation of the best music in this
country. We quote tho concluding portion
of his article:
Music must become a great part of our
common, we may say our atmospheric, educa
tion. It hns already gone to? far for us to
doubt it. Let its importance but begin to
be appreciated, and the next Peabody will feel
his way to general gratitude by liberal endow
ment of an art of vital interest to millions,
where on:y tens or hundreds can know how to
care for some of the learned branches for
which professorships are founded. Money will
yet be poured out freely for true colleges of
music, as it has been for those of literature
and science. It is not worth as much foster
ing as a boat race, international or other ?
Consider, rirst, the simplest, prima facie
claim of music; consider its civilizing agency,
so far as it may become part of tho popular,
the public education.
We, as a democratic people, a great mixed
people of all races, overrunning a vast conti
nent, need mubic even more than others. We
need some ever-present, over-welcome influ
ence that shall insensibly tone down our self
asserting and aggressive manners, round off
the sharp, offensive angularity of character,
subdue and harmoni.e the free and ceaseless
conflict of opinions, warm out the genial in
dividual humanity of each and every unit of
society, lest he become a mere member of a
party, or a slave of business or fashion. This
rampant liberty will rush to its own
ruin, unless there shall be found some
gentler, harmonizing, humanizing culture,
much as may pervade whole masses with a fine
enthusiasm, a sweet sense of revereuce for
something far above us, beautiful and pure,
awakening some ideality in every' soul, and
often lifting ns out of the hard, hopeless
prose of daily life. We need this beautiful
corrective of our crudities. Our radicalism
will pull itself up by the roots if it do not
cultivate the instinct of reverence. The first
impulse of freedom is centrifugal, to fly off
the handle, unless it be restrained by no less
free, impassioned love of order. We need
to be so enamored of the divine idea of unity
that that alone the enriching of that shall
be the real motive for assertion of our indi
viduality. What shall so temper and tone
down our "fierce democracy ?" It must be
something better, lovelier, more congenial
to human nature than mere stern prohibition,
cold Puritanic, "Thou shalt not!" What
can so quickly magnetize a people into this
harmonic mood as music 'f Have we not seen
it, felt it?
The hard-working, jaded millions need ex
pansion, need the rejuvenating, the ennobling
experience of joy. Their toil, their church
and creed, perhaps, their party livery, and
very vote are narrowing; they need to taste,
to breathe a larger, freer life. Has it not
come to thousands while they have listened to
or joined their voices in some thrilling chorus
that made the heavens seem to open aud come
down 'i The governments of the Old World
do much to make the people cheerful and
contented; here it is all latinei faire, oaoh
for himself, in an ever-keener strife of com
petition. We must look very much to musio
to do this good work for us; we are open to
that appeal; we can forget ourselves in that;
we blend in joyous fellowship when we can
sing together; perhaps qnite as much so
when we can listen together to a noble or
chestra of instruments interpreting the high
est inspirations of a master. The higher and
purer the character and kind of musio, the
more of real genius there is. in it, tho deeper
will this influence be.
Judge of what can be done by what already
within our own experience has been done
and daily is done. Think what, the children
in our schools are getting through the little
that they learn of vocal musio elasticity
of spirit, joy in harmonious co-operation,
in the blending of each happy life in
other; a rhythmical instinct of order
and of measure in all movement; and a
quickening of the ear and sense, whereby
they will grow up susceptible to music
as well as with some use of their own voices,
bo that they may take part in it; for, fr j:u
these spacious nurseries (loveliest flower
gardens, apple-orchards in full bloom, say,
on their animal fde days; shall our future
choirs and oratorio choruses be replenished
with good, sound material.
Think what unconscious culture, what re
fining influence, the people of a city iuiht
Lreathe in with the common breath of lifo
from concerts in the open air, lYoiu
military bands, and, better still, from
civic bands, if oniy our ki
and lord, the people aforesaid in it
corporate capacity, would make an enlight
t&ed provision for these things, and institute
a competent commission, or commissioner, a
'Thilostrate, master of the revels," of real
taste and judgment, to see to it that the bands
be good ones, tho programmes of a kind to
elevate and civilize, and not demoralize, by
brntal bray of everlasting brass; and that the
repertoire be made up of models of enduring
beauty, instead of specimens of every fool
ish reigning fashion in its torn. Such an
office should be of high honor, of careful ap
pointment, and safe tenure, like a judgeship.
Think what revival of the best enthusiasm,
what enriching of the inner man's resources,
what a lift to thought aud feeling, may be
given, has been given, by great festivals of
music, and even by "great jubilees," could
their ambition be a little sobered, and all the
claptrap and extravagance left out.
Think, above all, how much of the best
kind of culture, though it be undefinable, un
demonstrative, a silent absorption, as it were,
through all the pores and into every finest
spiritual fibre, may be found in the stated
series of concerts of the highest order,
where to listen well is to takn part, and where
every person present both in body and
in soul "assists," in the French sense of the
word. All that is necessary to this is that,
besides rick material, there shall be a pure
artistic spirit pervading tho whole concert:
the programme ought to be an art-work in
itself, with nothing miscellaneous about it, it
being not enough that it should contain fine
things; it should contain them so placed that
they shall not jostle one another, each oblite
rating the impression of the last; and that
their spell shall not be broken by bringing
them into incongruous company with things
of so irreconcilable a spirit that one cau carry
home no clear impression of the concert as a
whole.
But of the good influence of mnsio in
the more popular and public way the
half is not told, so long as Jjwe have not
hinted how much fitly chosen music
may do, has done, though too seldom, as an
element in public celebrations of great
events in human progress, in commemora
tions of great men, or in aid of noble chari
ties. On such occasions its chief efficacy
depends upon significant, appropriate selec
tions to be played or sung; upon the close
affinity or correspondence of each strain of
music, both with tho spirit of the hour and
with whatever spoken thought or cere
mony it may prepare or follow; in a word,
upon a certain artistic unity of programme,
of which it catches by qsick sympathy the
key-note, dictates in some way the order,
moulds all to sympathy, tenderly guards
throughout the unbroken continuity of moan
ing, and serves as a frame and background to
the whole. She, Music, should be called in
at the first inchontion of the plot as the most
sympathetic, subtly appreciative, suggestive
confidante; and when it comes to the f ullil
ment, hers is the part of chief interpreter,
as well as of disposer, of all minds
to the right mood of expectation and
the right impression after. Commonly we
do quite differently. We call in. music
upon such occasions, not as an equal, a co
working intelligence, but rather as king's
jester, to supply a little idle recreation in the
pauses. Wo employ a band of instruments,
mostly military, to discourse loud polkas,
pot-pourris from operas, or whatnot, selected
without rhyme or reason, and so rudely break
the spell and rob the hour of character and
meaning. Art would reform this. Art knows
nothing miscellaneous.
We are not quite without examples of the
better way; our Boston Music Hall, within a
few years, has been witness of a few which
might be followed. Who that was present
will forget that welcome to our noble
Lincoln's Proclamation of Emancipation
on that first of January, when Emer
son first read his thrilling "Bostn Hymn"
of liberty and justice; and when music,
furnishing first the darker prelude, in allu
sion to the days of bondage and of hope
deferred, through the overture to "Eg
mont," and that exciting number from "The
Hymn of Praise," in which to the anxiously
repeated question, "Will the night soon
pass?" the clear soprano, like a stream of
sunshine, startles with the cry, "The night is
departing!" and the glorious crescendo of the
chorus floods the world with light and carries
all before it in a blaze of high
pitched harmony and trumpets then
proceeded in the lofty vein of
heroism and of holy triumph, by making
heard, in such significant connection (not to
name all), the glorious Fifth Symphony of
Beethoven; the chorus from Elijah full of
comfort to the long-suffering, "He watching
over Israel;" Handel's sublime hallelujahs;
and finally the patriotic "sunburst" of tne
overture to William TtVL'i
Think, too, of the part that music bore the
day we listened to the eulogy on our good
Governor. How the organ, whispered peace
in those sweet strains of the concluding
chorus, sung at the tomb of the Saviour,
of Bach's Passion Music; and how the
mournful effect of the grandest expression
of a people's grief, bereft of a true hero,
the Funeral March from Beethoven's Heroic
Symphony, was tempered by the chorus, full
of comfort, from "St. Paul," "Happy and
blest are they who have endured;" then by
the heavenly andante, reassuring and uplift
ing, from the Fifth Symphony of Beethoven;
and then, to sum up all in one grand lesson,
the strong, confiding choral, harmonized by
Bach, "What God does, surely is well done f"
Think, too, how music lent new meaning
and new beauty to that commemoration of a
great man of science, when our Agassiz paid
noble tribute to the life and labors of his
great friend and teacher, Humboldt; how
the musio and the spoken word 6hed
light upon each other; how Mo
zart's chorus of the Priestess of Isis
sang of the consecration of the noble
youth to Truth, wherever she might lead
him; and how the wondrous overture to
The Magic Elute, and the first movement
of Beethoven's Seveuth Symphony, by
their fascinating hint of the perpetual pur
suit of unity through all the labyrinthine
windings of variety, fitly prepared and fol.
lowed a discourse of which that was the very
theme!
Now out of all these ways of popaUr ex
posure to the influence of good music, as well
as from private, even solitary communion
with its inaBter spirits, comes mucsh valuable
culture; not in the sense of musical or any
other knowledge, technical and special: not
a direct conscious culture, as su:4h,
of the memory or of the reasoning facul
ties; rot scholarship perhaps, nor ease
and elegance of manners nor address;
not force of will or quickness of decision:
but, nevertheless, a culture mou'ding m in
sensibly, a fort of atuio?herio culture,
weighing gently upon each and all, like whole
some air, expanding the chest, warming the
heart, putting tho nerves in tune, disputing
to unconscious courtesy and kindtis, prompt
ing each to fill his place cheerfully and unob
trusively, forgetting self in the harmo.iious
whole, weaving a fjuipathetic bond, making
ns all feel like happy, trustful children, free
and not afraid.
We may learn something from our
German fellow-citizens in illnstration
of this important chapter in the art
of life. We aft a people seem somehow
to have lacked this art. We court prosperity
like anxious bond-slaves, fearing to call a
moment of our lives our own, fearing to lice,
in our unceasing, feverish pursuit of the
mere means of living. We are enterprising
to a fault; we go ahead faster than others;
but it is by a centaur-like contrivance, letting
a large part of our real vital, haman self run
down into the lower animal, or the machine
that carries us. Why, O "live Yankee," O
proud Westerner, why waste your life in
rivalling a steam-engine? Man makes him
self a mere machine for generating or accu
mulating power, and all for what? And
with what a solemn, sanctimonious,
lean, hard-favored way he does it
often ! With what a qnisi-religious and
self-righteous tone he quotes his busi
ness maxims ! How he amalgamates
unworldly orthodoxy with the most secular
showman's cant in tho advertising of his
wares ! How he practically confounds reli
gion with his own self-love, as generalized
into prudential maxims !
We esteem ourselves the freest people on
this planet, yet we have perhaps as little real
freedom as any other; for we are the slaves
of our own feverish enterprise and of a bar
ren theory of discipline which would fain
make us virtuous to a fault through absti
nence from very life. We are afraid to
give ourselves up to the free and happy
instincts of our nature. All that is not
pursuit of advancement in some good, con
ventional, approved way of business, or poli
tics, or fashion, or intellectual reputation,
or professed religion, we count waste. We
lack geniality; nor do we, as a people, under
stand the meaning of the word. We ought
to learn it practically of our Germans. It
comes of the same root with tho word genius.
Genius is the spontaneous principle; It is
free and happy in its work; it is artist and not
diudge; its whole activity is reconciliation of
tho heartiest pleasure with the purest loyalty
to conscience, with the most holy,' universal,
and disinterested ends. Genius, as Beet
hoven gloriously illustrates in his Choral
Symphony (indeed, in all his sympho
nies), finds the key-note and solution
of the problem of the highest
state in "Joy," taking his text from Bahiller's
hymn. Now, all may not be geniusos in the
sense that we call Shakespeare, Mozart, Ra
phael, men of genins. But all should be
partakers of this spontaneous, free, and happy
method of genius; all should live childlike,
genial lives, and not wear all tho time the
consequential livery of their nnrelaxing busi
ness nor the badge of party and profession in
every line and feature of their faces.
This genial, childlike faculty of social en
joyment, this happy art of life, is just what
our countrymen may learn from the social
4 'Liedertaf el" and the summer singing f osti vals
of which the Germans are no fond. There is
no element of national character which we
so much need; and there is no class of citi
zens whom we should be more glad to adopt
and own than those who set us the examples.
So far as it is a matter of cnlture,it is through
art chiefly that the desiderated genial era
must be nshered in. The Germans have the
sentiment of art, the feeling of the beautiful
in art, and consequently in nature, more de
veloped than we have. Above all, music
offers itself as the most available, most popu
lar, most influential of the fine arts music,
which is the art and language of the feelings,
the sentiments, the spiritual instincts of the
soul, and so becomes a universal language,
tending to unite and blend and harmonize all
who may come within its sphere.
The September number of Our Young
Folks, which we have received from Turner
& Co., is nicely illustrated, and presents an
entertaining variety of reading matter adapted
to tho tastes of the boys and girls.
T7ie Nursery for September is filled with
pretty stories, verses, and pictures which will
please the little ones.
