"Why, what on earth ails this house?" "I mean in things for it. Now, the parlor looks so stilt and is always shut up. I was thinking if we had a pretty carpet, and some curtains of white muslin or lace, and aset of nice furniture, and—and—a piano. 0 John ! if we could haves piano." "A piano! Do you you know what a piano costs?" "No. Aunt Louise had one, you know, ever Bitten I can remember.— But I think if we had a pretty par , lor to rest in the evening, I could play for you and sing. You never heard me play or sing. John." "I- have heard you sing, but not lately," mid John, rather gloomily. •' Olt ! that was just humming around the house. I mean real sing ing. I have lots of music in my trunk." "But you are only a farmer's wife now, Lina. I thonght when we were married that you understood that you were not to have city finery and pleasure." "So I did, John. I -don't want finery. I don't want any pleasure but. your love, John. lion't scowl up your face 74(3. I ani silly to think of these things at all. There, kiss me and forget it. I am nicely rested now, and I'll get your tea in ten minutes." John put her down with a very tender kiss, and straightway fell into a revery. lAna Rivers had been a district sehooltearher in Scottttield Just four months, when John Reynolds offered ,her his hand and heart. She was an Orphan from infancy, but her father's sister had adopted and educated her in a life of luxury, and without al tering a will made years before, leav ing her entire fortune to a charity nsy lam. Lina. left alone, had thank fully accepted!the ',coition of country schoolteacher, procured for her by some friends, and was thinking life hard burden, when John came to brighten it. She gave her 'whole gentle little heart into his keeping at at once, appreciating at their full value his honest, true heart, his frank nature, his sterling good quali ties, and looking with the most pro found admiration upon his tall. strong frame and handsome face. It was a perfect love-match, for John fairly worshipped the dainty. refined little beauty he had married. And, having married her, he took her to his home, and, In all igno rance, proceeded to kill her. There was no blame to he laid upon him. Living in the old farm-house where he had spent his entire life, the one ambition of his heart was to own land. stock, barns, and a Model farm. He had seen his mother cook, churn, feed poultry and drudge. all her life, all the women he knew did the same, and if Lina made a Mis take, she put a willing heartinto her work, and soon conquered its diffi culties. Surely, he thought, It was an easier life to be mistress of his home, with the Stanley farm in pme a s pect, than to toil over stupid child ren in a distrietschool. He had nev er heard thewonderforrnusle lit tle white hands, all rough and scarred now, could draw tram the rvory keys Of an ()man or piano, or the cigar, pure yoke in song It was an un known world to John where. his wife's memory lingered as she scour . ed tins, strained milk, and cooked huge dishes of food for the farm hands.

The piano was yield ing its most bewitching tones to the skilled little fingers, and John's be wilderment was complete when a voice of exquisite sweetness, though not powerful, began to sing. Only one song, full of trills and quivers, and then Lina rbshed from the piano into John's arms. " John, darling," she said, " hold fast.

"Are you tired, love?" he asked, with a great spasm of terror at his heart, as he looked at the white, wasted face. "Yes, very, very tired, but happy, John," and with a little' sigh of en tire content, Lina nestled down against the warm heart whose every throb she knew was alt her own. The white lids - fell softly over the violet eyes, and she slept peacefully as a child. "Softly, as she rested, the faint pink flush gathered on her fair cheek and , a smile crept over her lips, while John, bending over her, lifted his heart in earnest prayer, for the life that made his own so bright. Mrs. Reynolds was to experience her share of astonishment during her holiday, and it commenced by the apparition of John the next day in a suit of handsome clothes that well became his manly figure. There was no foppery. but he looked a gentle , man, though he made more than one grimace before he got, as he said, "well shaken into store, clothes." Can I describe that week ? What was newlo John, was old, familiar ground to L t ina. Central Park was not soon'exhausted, and the little guide grew stronger and rosier every day, in John's thoughtful care, that provided plenty of pleasent excite ment, but guarded against fatigue.

NOME Established 1818 LWIIJME ON MUSIC. Good and Bad Piano Porta Cons ' pindllona, RY PROF. A. REUTER. LADIES AND ITENTLEIda : "Why don't you give such and such music to your pupils; pieces that have tune In them; something that a per son can follow easily?" This ques tion, perhaps in a slightly different form but to the same effect, we have had to hear so many times that we &el an answer to have almost becalme a netessity. We eonfeas that, man- ewer this question completely, would command a netter cultivated intellect and mind than we possess; but. hop ing that you will excuse probable tediousness in the handling of this subject, we shall endeavor to make the answer to tho above question a. 9 plain as wwible. If yon were all ac quainted with the harmonic struc ture. of a composition we could show you the difference between the good and the bad with much lees of an argument, and in a very short time; bat, as it is, weshall do the best we ean. You all know these places with flaming titles and lithographs, such as "Whisperings of Love," " Angela' Serenade," "Silvery Waves," and a host of the same class • indeed, these beautifully titled an d lithographed pieces have Multiplied sa very fast within the past few years that we wonder how the authors can possibly find any more names for their new born beauties. , Now, to show you effectually the difference, we must take one of these Pretenders and dis sect him, just as a student of anatomy would his subject; and we begin with stripping him of his chap garments (by garments we mean the harmony, or chords, as some of you would de signate It). Take; for Instance, the simple theme or tune of " Silvery Waves," and play or sing it over— without accompaniment of any kind —and you will find how very shal low, insignificant and commonplace it is. We would earnestly :advise you to make this simple experiment not only with the piece mentioned but with others of the same stripe, you cannot fail to be instructed there by. Taking it for granted that you understand:the theme's deficiencies, we will now take the cheap garments —we shall prove that they are cheap —or harmony examine these. 'The harmony Is principally given to the left hand, and is composed off chords 111. V. we will call or Tonic, Dom- EsTAI. 111. leant & Subdom. Th e se three chords are the very beginning, or the ground harmony ; in other words. they are the ABC hi harmony. Now, does It not seem surprising that the au thor should vary this skeleton in four or five difthrent ways, (we con fess that we don't know just the ex- Oct number of y,ariations, for it is a Itoe k 7 th ,v o e r ry te i n o t n: t pa im me e i b in y ce a w ma e have looked at the piece), ending it at the hich. by the way, might sound very ,grand if it were not for the shallow and trivial motive on which it is based. Si)* much amusement and pleasure would you derive, for In atome, in ,walking through a gar den planted full of three vane ties of hollyhocks and nothing else? or, as W. 8. B. Mafthews (a very abler writer and musfebui of Chicago) i putikit : "How would you be enter- 1 tained by, a. regitatimi of, the follow inps"ronle,torde46Mt, domt, domt, I tionattionte, tonic, ' t . site., just for the short spaceofteu 6 fliteenarnlntites?" oT— , --___ atmsenitnartees -- irturttmelMs=ki=l diea who pride themselves on their taste and intellect, and public educa tors—sit and listen with apparent great satisfaction to such " Cheap , John" and " Dime Novel" trash for an hour or more. ' Perhaps, yon think us severe; we admit that this assertion seems rath er so; but we, nevertheless, speak from actual observation; and, tobring, it „nearer home—here in our midst— with some few exceptions, we have observed at almost every concert or f. ntertainment that the best numbers of instrumental pieces, even when I performed well, never elicit merited applause; nay more, they are barely listened to with common- decency ; there seems to be a disposition on the audience's part that "the sooner they are gone through with the better." Any one of you who will takeitime to reflect a little will, I think, find our assertion true on the whole. To the musician, and lover of music as. an art, such a state of things is al ways distressing in the extreme; and to the pupil it is decidedly discour aging; but the young pianists of this fast age are in some respects them selves responsible for this state of af fairs • so long as you will persist i n 1 playing trashy, vainglorious stuff. just so long will you fail tocommand the respect of superior intelleet. Aim high, even from the beginning ; be true to yourself and your work, and you will not fail to command respect and give pleasure to the intelligent. The maxim that most young pianists seem to have adopted, viz: ' That people in general cannot understand and appreciate decent and good mu sic," (we don't take such audiences as previously referred to as our stan dard,) is of no validity whatever : people in this wide-awake age trill understand sooner or inter, even without your assistance. The ten dency of the present time is for pro gress in art as well as in science; and, therefore, a pianist who is not an in telligent interpreter of , good music will invariably be judged according to his or her merits. But, we observe, we have gone es-, tray from our original subject, and will therefore hasten to take it up again, for we have not quite done with it. To illustrate our subject further we shall make a comparison with one of W. Mason's compositions which re- , sembies the former somewhat in name, but in name only; in every other respect the difference is sn great that we feel we ought to apologize to the author for making the compari son. We refer to Mason's II Silver Spring," which some of you have heard and, probabty, have some ac quaintance with. What striking originality meets us here! As you listen to it you cannot help but feel that you are in the presence of a mas ter mind, a creative mind, that has really created something near; and the oftener yon hear it the better you I understand it, for it bears frequent repetition. Suppose you take this %piece and treat it in the same man ner as the former; take the melody and sing it over without its beauti fully colored harmony, and you will find what a depth there is in the idea or tune itself. Why, there is enough melody in the theme to sing it over a dozen times a day without tiring! We get quite enthusiastic when we come to examine its harmonic struc ture; it Is like walking In a greatand beautiful garden full of the most gor gehusly colored flowers, that surprise ,you with new and more exquisitely colored ones at every ste you take, thus increasing your - e - 144yinent in stead of wearying you with a constant repetition of hackneyed and woynout ohrascs. In the former we meettoth ing but the commonplace based, as we have shown before,on three chords --on the A B C of harmony; in the latter we find the purest design, va ried and exquisite harmonies which show that the author is a perfect Mas ter of counterpoint and form.

' addressed to Letters and communications should bi J. WEirA.l3l), Beaver, Ps. may ask why this A.B C music 13 so immensely popular? The answer is easily made. Any one who has taken three or four terms of lessons can make these pieces sound so that any person with ordinary intellect and a little of a musical ear, can understand them; they do not'Suire any very fine shading or übtinabg to bring out the nfelody. The tnehxly fa so rem plain that it will come almost of its own accord. Just go back a few yearsand im agine yourself finishing the First Reader; it did -net require much thought to comprehend such senten ces as the following, viz: "lean see, , yon cat." "DO you see me ?" "The cat is on my new fur cap." "Get Off . - -old eat.' Most all those very pop ular- piano pieces belong to this. First Reader claa.s, no matter upder what elegant sounding name they appear, Another reason of their popularity/8 because almost all those pieces are brilliantly written, indeed, in many of them brilliancy is the main ob. feet; by means of this fluent, brit %limey the author hides his deflcien ries of melody and harmony. Au °tiler feature of this music is, that no matter how elevating and poetical a title they have, they are invariably I dancing rythais, or dancing piece+. to make it plain to all. To prove this assertion, we will examine a few of those pretending saints. Many of 'you have, no doubt, seen and heard a piece entitled " 17earenicard," with a lithograph representing threeangels carrying the dead form of a woman in flowing robes towards heaven. The title would indicate a solemn, spiritual idea. pure and sublime in ,character; hat. in reality, it is a very common burial march of a decided military character, suche common- place affair that it would not even be good enough for the street inueiclan. Another is entitled "La Redemp tion," (The 'Redemption.) What kind of redemption the author- bus reference to. we eon fees, we can not imagine. He probably wanted-to re deem hintseff, but we do net-believe • that this piece proved of any practi cal benefit to hini. It is, in reality. nothing more than a masourka of. ; very ordinary merit, and no oriole :I riality whatever. These two are fair specimens of the thousands of this class. They are to tie found on 'al most every piano in the land. The publishers puff them up well, the good people buy them, and, we are sorry to add, many music teachers use them. There are many young ladies in this favored land who have had musical instruction for,yenre, in whose repertoire you will not find a sinefe good poetical composition. Such a one has no idea what a song without word, (by some good author) means, she does not know, fl i er can she understand, what a magical charm there is one of Fields' or Cho pin's nocturnes; she has probably , heard some Beethoven sonata, but it is perfectly unintelligible to her, and she can not derive any pleasure from it; in a word, she does not understand the tone lib% guage.
