HARMONY.
‘ Ono of thp must general principles of tho human
soul is the lovo of rhythm. Tho mother ‘sings her
child intoslumbor to tho motion pf her body in rook
ipgf.lt backwards and lorwohls; 1 Children and say.
ages boat time to their own : voido's. Ths pedestrian
also cheers his walk by-whistling In unison with his
footstep'; t anfl, when numbers were undergoing the
fatiguos pf a'march, if was'natdral they should give
Utterance to Ilia sainu tones, If cbly f or (hdsako of
producing uniformity of niolinn.' Thus the natural
love of rhythm-aided the birth of song in more quar
ters than one; but, with tho- expansion of the feel
ings and the faculties, it is not'tu bo supposed that
the primitive vocalist confined himself to tho utter
anoc of liicro meaningless sounds No! the mother
—as mothers do at this hour—would launch Into
praises of her offspring as sho sung, into spothings
of its pain, or promises of its father’s return)- ;|n
like manner { lho ' warrior would recount his deeds,
laud the expedition on which lie was sent, or sing
his hopes of writing victory. Even the modern sol
dier, prevented by military etiquette from joining
with his voice to the relief of faliguo;>h»''pr6vided
Willi the stirring drum’ and trumpet to animate his
movements t hut 1110 bands of the undisciplined still
adhejfe to lho bldcr impulso. onil time ulllhcir loot

b(o ‘receives its oxompllficaliom ovoiy day: from ;)j 0
lisbl.fe oftaere infantry who, when scarce able to ol*
slng their inlohiions'as they toddle from
chair to* chair) andi when hammering on something
that produces a noise, invariably cause their voices to
keep limp with tile clamor.
