A REMARKABLE HYMN.
WIUTTfcJf IN LANCA5TLK.
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.

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."
