Its Carious and Disputed History. In the scries of at tides en hymns and their autheis, in the New Yerk Indepen dent, Rev. Dr. W. A. Muhlenberg's most famous composition receives notice from Prof. Frederick M. Bird, who says of the author of "I Would Net Live Always." : He edited a selection of ' Church Poetry 1823, containing no originals. His own hyrnub are te be found in the Prayer iJoek collection, 182G, aud in a tmall vol ume piintcd 1859, second edition 13G0. Perhaps the cailiest of them and certainly the most famous is "I would neb live al way"; and thereby hangs a tale, or facveral tales, which I should net be justi fied in suppressing or abridging here. Probably no hymn, except " I love te steal a wiiiic away, has had a meic romantic origin, and none at all a mere complicated history. The authorship has been vehem ently disputed again aud again and the date of first appearance mis stated. The text has been garbled, revised and rewrit ten. The author voted against its admis sion te the collection thieugh which it be' came famous, and was never satisfied with it as it steed there and in ether hymnals. These confused. fact I will try te handle in order aud as accui.i:Iy as may be. The story of hew i !.a hymn came te be writtcu has been w!n-peicd about South eastern Pennsylvania for half a century audmeic. Dr. Muhlenberg himself had, naturally, nothing te say about the matter, and his New Yerk friends of later years (as Dr. Sckaff and the late Dr. Washburn) wcre disposed te pooh-pooh it as an idle invention. Whether it is mentioned in his life I cannot say, net having the book at hand ; but I give the tale in its baldest form, as vouched for by one of Muhlen berg's early associates, himself connected with the family iu question. " Dr. M. was outraged te be married te Miss ; but her father would net give his consent, aud it was under this feeling of grief aud disappointment that he penned the hymn. She laid the matter te heart, went into a decline, and died." The family was "rich and respectable," of course, .lames Buch anan, then a young aud lising lawyer, was engaged te au elder sister ; a trivial quar rel (of which the particulars arc known) parted them, and the end of this affair was yet mere tragic than that of the ether. Beth levers afterwaid rose te eminence, but neither ever married. Net many men have such geed rcasdis for rcmaiuing bachelors. These facts would appeal well authenticated, but, for Dr. M.'s published statement, iu 1S71 : " The legend that it was written en an occasion ofmivute grief is a fancy." Acceiding te Muhlenberg, the hymn "was writtcu and lirst appeared iu the Episcopal Recorder, iu 1821 " That the latter half of this statement is a curious mistake is pievcd by the poison who took it te the printer. Dr. Jehn B. (Jlemsen, of Claymont, Del., wrote ine thus, two years age : "Thuhyinu I received fiein Dr. M. in manuscript, and deliveied it myself te Mr. Stavcly, the then publisher. I was then in the first year of -my ministry and was settlcd at Hatrisburg. In passing through Lancaster, en my way te Phil adelphia, te see my mother and family, I paid my respects te the Docter, and, as" I was leaving him, he put the hymn into my hands and asked ine if I would net cai ry it te the Recorder. It was published lirst in 182G, June oil, page 10, Ne. 70. I have the volume bound aud iu my posses sien. The Docter's memory must have failed him iu naming 1821. I was then (1821) only a candidate for erdcis aud liv ing in Philadelphia." This docs net prove that the hymn was net written iu 182 1. The author may have been right about that ; but it certainly was net printed till 1820, unless wc can sup pose that he or .somebody else sent it te another sheet at an earlier date, of which there is no evidence. Dr. CIcniseu gees en : "I always felt that there was a Provr Prevr dence rn my preserving that particular volume of .the Philadelphia Recorder. I was thereby enabled te fortify my memory aud te bear a righteous testimony against the false assumption and claim of that petty Connecticut editor. The world was beginuing te think he was light and that Dr. M., geed man as he was, was falsify ing. My.publishcd testimony put the whele thing at rest." Net se thoroughly, pcihaps, as it ought te have done. One still hears, new and then, that Henry Ward, a Litchfield pi inter, wrote the hymn in 1822 and put it iu the bauds of his rector, llcv. Isaac Jenes ; also that he gave it te Iiev, Fice man Marsh, in 1819 or 1820. If it could be proved that Ward, or any ene else, printed the hymn in 1822, er.it any time prier te June 3d, 1820, that would be an other; matter. Se far from that, no early MS. of it professing te be Waid'shas been mere than talked of. A deal of ignorant nonsense has been ventilated en this head as that Muhlenberg " never claimed the hymn." Of course, he always claimed it and was much annoyed at this counter pre tension. Any oue who has written popu lar verses is liable te vexations of this sort. Cenllict of testimony has te be settled by weight of character. New Dr. M.'s char acter was of the highest, and Ward's very far from that. TheJatter's "claim," which mu t be set asitm as worthless, has been pushed by ill-judging friends, spe cially iu Oscar Harper's " Peets and Poetry of Printcrdem," Cincinnati, 1873. It is only literary pettifoggers who take up cases of this kind. Every one who is interested in these matters knows that the hymn, as wc usually have it, is a condensed abridge ment of the original poem, which had six eight line stanzas. I have net seen the Recorder text, but suppose it began thus : I would netllvc always. Ne. no. holy man. Net a day, net an hour should lengthen my span." Se, at least, it reads as " copied from the original" in a letter from Pottstewu, Pa., February 23th, 187G, te the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. According te this, it was "au impromptu, written iu my sis ter Catherine's album. He had no copy, and, wanting it en some occasion, he sent for tkc album. I am copying it from the original MS." Perhaps it was se written in 1824, and left there till the author be thought him te leek it up and take a copy for the Recorder. That album is worth its weight iu silver, at the least, and ought te be en the shelves of the Pennsylvania His torical Society. As te the admission of the hymn into the Prayer Boek collection (182C), I fellow the uncentradicted and probably authentic legend and the printed statements of Dr. M. himself, in 1871. Its authorship being then unknown and unsuspected, it was cut from the Recorder and brought before the committee, perhaps by Dr. ( afterward bishop) Onderdenk, who was net present when they "sat upon" it. Its tone was ob jected te, iluhlcnberg himself spoke and PA., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 29. 1881. voted against it and it was rejected. As seen as Onderdenk heard this, he obtain ed a reversal of judgment. The hymn was get into its familiar form by him, with some aid from the detected author ; but but Dr. M. seems strangely wrong in saying that this happened iu 1829." The 212 hymns were approved aud pub Iished in 1827 and se used till 1871. I have net attempted te keep track of the bewrlderrng variety of texts. The author was always dissatisfied with the original and disposed te mend it. "Ne, no, holy man," was probably eliminated early. As "Revised, 1859," in his book of that date, it begins :' " I would net live alway live alway belqw ! Oh ! no. I'll net linger when bidden te go." This did net suit him, aud iu 1S71 he published " ' I would net live alway,' Evangelized by its author." With the story of the hymn and brief account of St. Jehnland " (New Yerk : T. Whittakcr & Ce. 1871, -lte). This is net se much a recensien as a new lyric in twenty-eight lines, net one of them being uualtercd. However superior in orthodox sentiment te its predecessor, it reads like a parody of that by an unskilled hand and has met no mere favor than it deserved. Despite the author's unwearying efforts te improve it, the " I would net live alway " which is known and loved remains that which Dr. On On dereonk e .tractcd from ; the eiigiual of 1820. " The story of the hymn i3 te some ex tent discredited by containing two serious blunders (already noted) in dates. Since his memory was se weak en these points, might he net have forgotten of what out ward occasion aud inward feelings this poem itself was born '.' Yet these mistakes, which might have seemed te injuic the defendent's case, if brought up when Ward was iu court as plaiutifi, c.uiuet new be allowed as lendiug weight te au appeal against the sentence. When Dr. Munlun berg was asked te give assurances of his , authorship, he declined with much dignity. " If they thought I was capable of letting the work of another pass for se many years as my own, they would net be sure of auythrng 1 might say. " Sloreevcr, Ward's title te poetic fame rests en nothing but dubious talk ; where as Dr. M. had ether lyrics of merit and usefulness te show. Four mero hymns of his appeared in the Prayer Boek collection and three of them arc new generally or widely accepted. Te be sure, it is open te auybedy te assert that he, or Heme fricud of his, wrote these in '1820 aud en trusted them iu MS. te a neighboring clergyman, from whom Muhlenberg felon iously "conveyed" them; but, as, thus far, that has net been attempted, wc may venture te call them his. Shout the glad tiding, uiullingly ..ing." This Christmas song " was written at the particular request of Bishop Uebai t, who wanted something that would go te the tunc by avisieu, thou popular, te Moere's words, " Sound the loud timbrel." Iu two piemiiicnt Baptist books it begins, with out the refraiu. ' .ion, the ni.u veleii-t i.te.y lu telling." " &a ler who thy llecl.s aie feeding." Probably the best and most successful of baptismal hymns. " Like Neah's, weaiy dove.'' This celebrates the church, iu cither or any sense of that word. The gist of it rc- m-riiis when you have dropped the first aud last stanzas. The author, in 1SG5, advised cempilers te emit the last, which is about "waves of ire" aud "sea offiie," and tliice ljadiug books begin witli v. 2 "O , cua.su uiy uaudciing soul." One only of these pieces of 1S20 has died the death appointed te dull aud profitless verse. It ceusisls of four moralizing aud cxhertwg stanzas en the " Death of a Yeung Persen" : Hew short the rasa our fiicnd In-, run, " Cut down in all his bloom :" This was, no doubt, censideicd very Hue half a century age; but, like me it so se called funeral hymns, it is adapted te be hung te nothing mere modern than Ciiiua." In 1859 he gathered his verses net in cluded in the prayer-book collection. The best of them is : " bincc en thy loetstool heie. below Such radiant gems aie stiewn." This is a fine poem, rather than a usable hymn. According te Dr. M., it "is of the same date 1821 with 'I would net lie alway,' aud, like it, first appeared iu the Episcopal Recorder," in 1820, possibly. It was probably thought tee ornate for ac ceptance then, but has since made it- way into the Plymouth, Masen's aud Itobiu Itebiu Itobiu sen's collections. Next ( perhaps as e?rly as 1825) comes a slighter aud mere juve nile, but very pretty "Vesper Hymn :'' "The mellow ete I- gliding seicncly down the west." The tin one et His glory assieu ilisuhlte." A hymn for Advent, 1839, admitted by Reformed "Hymns of the Church," 1SGU : "King of kings, and wilt Theu deign O'er this wayward licit t foreign" iu several leading books, date net givcu. It is either eaily, or much the best of his later nieces, which in general aie veiy in ferior te these written in his youth. It Beats Life Insurance.

JSejer, et Maiden Cieelc, te Miss Li.ic Cathaiinc He'.tuan, et Lebanon county. Xe cards Mr. Beycr is an honest young ere miner of geed character. His bride is a farmer's daughter, educated iu the kitchen aud graduated a first-class, intelligent house keeper. He is thirty and she just twenty. Their parents arc only in very moderate circumstances. Six months age the j euiig peeple were quite peer. They hail in tended te beard with a peer family after their marriage. Instead, however, of doing this, they wcic enabled te go te housekeeping in first class style, and all by a novel streak of luck. Ne secret is made of the fact that they wcre first insured by speculators for about 75,000 iu a dozen or mere marriage insurance companies. Mr. Beycr, the groom, was asked if he had any objection te giving his experience in this entirely new method of starting in life, and he promptly re plied, with a smile : " Of course net. I am willing te let everybody knew all about it, se that ether young people may enjoy geed luck also. Thirteen months age Lizzie and myself were engaged te be married. The wedding day was fixed, but suddenly the mines stepped work, and I was thrown out of a job. Lizzie was living home with her parents, and after I had told her -of my bad luck we concluded net te get married, because wc had no money te commence housekeeping, and I had very peer pros pects ahead. One day Gjergc Mcrritt, a neighbor of mine, called te see me. He taugnt . school at Dry keck during the winter season. lib sard he heard that I was going te be married seen, and I told him of my bad luck. He told me net te let that worry me, and said that if I would let him take out a marriage insurance policy en me and then marry, he would buy me au eighty-dollar walnut bedroom set of. furni ture, with a marble top washstanu, bureau and table, He said he was the agent of one of the new companies, and that he would take out a policy for 85,000 and have it transferred te himself. I said I was willins that he should if Lizzie was. 'My friend Merritt then told me that he had a few friends who would use me. well if they might have the same privilege of insuring me in ether companies, and I said it was all risht, and that they should come along. The very next evening another agent came and offered te buy me a tlewered carpet for a front room, a tlewercd carpet for a sitting room, and a tag carpet for the kitchen. I was delighted with the business, and I told him he might take out the policy. In the mean time I had seen Lizzie, and she seemed first te dislike the idea, bat final ly told me te use my own judgment. Along came another agent and he agreed te furnish two bed rooms for the privilege of insuring us. I accepted this offer, and looked for the next agent. Te make a long story s'lert, fifteen agents agreed te take policies for $5,000, and thus I became insured for $75,000 in about a dozen' com panies. Every agent made a present of some kind, aud when all the details were ready te be carried out, I teuted this mod est two-story house here, aud Lizzie and her friends scrubbed and scoured it from top te bottom. I met the agents ever at my uncle's tavern in a back room. I signed the applications and the assignments one after another until the large, old fashioned table was covered with printed matter, blank forms, &c. Each agent cither gave me an order en a store or the cash money as seen as I had signed his papcis. Afterwaid I learned that the orders were en stores owned by the officers of the insurance companies. Well, with this money and the orders in band we get married and then furnished our house as you see it here. I invite you te examine it from top te bottom. Everything is new, se you see hew the marriage insurance business works for us. Yes, theso vases and the pictures and that parlor organ wcre also bought for us in the same way. The agents explained te me tnat one year after our marriage each ene of these $5,000 policies would be worth about 1,740 each. That is why they were se anxious te fur nish my house. " Twe ether agents, wanted us te have a bridesmaid at our wedding. They went te my wife's sister Helen, and asked her if she would accept a handsome silk dress te wear at the wedding as a bridesmaid. She get mad aud told them they were in a shameful business, and that if she couldn't buy her own dresses she would de without. She told them te clear out. They next went te the bride and asked her te name another bridesmaid, but Lizzie said that the thing had gene en long enough, and that the insurance business must step r ight there. That is the reason why we had no bridesmaid. I suppese ' enough aircnts could Jiac been found te dress up a groomsman, tee, had we wanted one. I have heard that at a number of weddings ilic bride aud the bridesmaids were fitted out with money given by the icsurance agents for the privilege of taking out poli cies. Y iu see that as seen as a party be comes insured he can marry, but his policy won't be payable until a year elapses. I have figured out the profits, say en a policy of $5,000. The agent makes a present te the mau who is te marry, say of $50 ; the policy will cost him $45, and the transfer, or assignment,$l ; total $9G. His man then marries, and in a year's time the company premises te pay cash from $350 te $400 per thousand, say $1,750 for a $5,000 policy. The company raises this money by asses -ing ether members of the class net mar ried. If the companies keep their weid the agents will make handsome profits ou their investment ; if they don't keep their word it won't hurt us. The business must pay, aud agents must have confidence iu the companies, because they make daily calls en all ministers aud dressmakers te find out who is going te be married. Of course, the agents don't keep all the pol icies they get held of. They sell them at a high advance and invest the profits in ether policies. I knew these things because I have geue thieugh the hands of fifteen of them. Nearly every ceuple that is married now adays is insured. The business has spread into nearly every circle of society, from the highest te the lowest. The poorest young peeple new can atlbrd te have the giaudcst weddings. I knew of a wedding that is te come off just before Christmas that will open the eyes of the people. The bride and gioem are insured for ever $200,000, and as they are very peer they don't held m single policy. I be lieve they T;et about $1,200 cash in advance from the policy holders, who a; c mostly rich farmers and agents. The young couple arc going te have a very grand wedding ill church, the grandest that ever took place in the church, aud a city minister will perform the ceremony. The bride is a cigar factory girl and the husbaud weiks for a huckster. Beth of them aie odd characters, and they say they are going te give the people some thing te talk abeilt. Over 1,000 invitations are te be sent out, aud the idea is te have a number of newspaper reporters present at the wedding a.ud banquet. Our wed ding was te have been this way, but we concluded co have our house furnished, as that was the most sensible thing. The couple that lam talking about desire te create a sensation, and I suppese they will succeed. The bride's dress is te be a long tailed affair, aud twelve of her lady friends are goiugte get new white dresses, te cost $10 each, all te be bought by the lnidc. They are going te have carpet laid from the church deer across the sidewalk te the sticct, aud there will be no cqd te fleweis, lauicl, cedar, pine, cakes and wine. This sort of wedding premises te be vciy common iu a few years. The gravcyaid business is slowly playing out, and this new marriage business is looming up as the latest sensation." The gentlemen who essayed te crcuadc Miss L a tew uvenins since, should have had 'clear' threats, and their etleits would have been better appreciated.
