I reiiw'ftilT well when the .nps of
thi man U-smn their lene6vnt uiiion.
About the year lM2ama!l land of nine
ere went iilnml the omiitry piving n
tvrtf who were railed the Yiiyinian Sere
nadent. Tlie first miuiany of this name
tliat made a pri-at raii-i-vi onKisted of
about oeven jH-rx-ns, all pd hinp-rs, and
the chief attraction of the entertainment
tf the I-tty melodii-s they santr. We
hal had "Jim ( 'row " U fure, an exl
lent erfoniiHtnv. but all in the old plan
tation style, Iki1i none and iiiusir lieinjf
drtituU' of artistic value. Rut these new
sinner won all heart by the Ix-atity and
homely excellence of the tmnpi they
nanfr : and as the musical jurt of this kind
of entertainment was kept nj to the or
iginal standard, mvni iiiiiwtn-ley was as
fashionable as Italian ojera.
But when ssiple are enchanted with a
musical or dramatic erf.iriiianee, they
ajilaud the ierfoniier to the echo, but,
as a rule, they do not ask the name of
the author. This is r..bab!y the reason
whv we know so little of Miakesneare.
Tlie audience went out of the theatre full j
of admiration for the actor who had
j. laved Othello, or Hamlet with out car- i
ing to know anything alut the sublime
genius w Inch the a1or had so skillfully
interpreti-d. Then' was a general imprcs
sion, when the Virginian Serenaders
first apiiean-d, that their songs were ac
tually coiuM-d by the Southern slaves,
to sola- their evenings when their hanl
dav's work was done. All auditors no
ticed a certain strain of melancholy run
nii'g thnitiirh them, which they attribu
ti'd to the ncgnies' sad condition.
How alisurd was this! tThe genius of
the pun- colon-d rai- has never m si need
a bar of good music, nor a couplet of
gissl song. It was only after many years
of curiosity and inquiry that 1 could
learn the name of the author of these
songs, and still loiip'rls'forf I could learn
anything of him but his name. Kven
now we know little of him cxivpt the
list of his compositions, and the places
of his birth nd death.
He was Isirn in what is now the city
of Allegheny, Pa., w hich is to Pittsburgh
what P.nsiklyn is to New York. He was
the yiHingest child of a men hant there,
w ho gained some distinction as a juiliti
cian in Westeen Pennsylvania, lieing
Mayor of Allegheny and a iiicihIht of
the legislature. The lniy showed a n
markableaptitude for music even as a lit
tle child. At seven, w ithoilt ha ing re
ceived any instructions, he played upon
the flageolet, and as lie grew older he
learned to play other instruments which
fell in his way. Like other musical pni
digies, he distvrncd the nature and
acojie of a new instrument as if by in
stiuct. He also studied music theoreti
cally, and lieeame at length well ac
quainted with the works of the great
masters in that art. It is said, too, that
lie was proficient in the French and
tierman languages, and had some skill
in draw ing and iaintii.g.
All this without the least idea of lie
coming a pmfessiiinal musician or com
jioscr. At that day, indeed. there was no
such jierson in the western country as
one vhn lived by iunjiosing music. In
all probability, the idea never on-unvd to
him. He was of a delii-ate habit of IkhIv,
retiring and bashful in !isnisition, and
much alisorticd during his early years in
his private studii-s of music, art and lan
guage. At thirteen, w hile still living at home,
he coiii'Miscd a song, "Sadly to Mine
Heart Apitcaling," which, though not
published at the time, was afterwards in
cluded in his colliiied Works. At seven
teen he joim-d his limther as clerk in a
house of business at Cincinnati, and there
he wmte, "Open thy lattice. Love,"
which was soon after published in Balti
more, and had some currency. While
still a men hoy, aWut eighteen years of
age, junior clerk ill his brother's store, he
composed, "Old I'nclc Ned," which is,
jierha'w, familiarly know n to luon- Js-o-ple
ss-aking the Knglish language than
any other song that can lie named. Sum
after he composed "O, Misaiia," for
which a publisher paid liiin one huiKlnnl
dollars, an event w hich pivehim courage
lodmphis clerkship and gi.e hiiiiwlf
wholly up to musical coiuiosition. From
that time onward to the cm I of his life he j
was the song writer of his country. His j

to us w hich can thusdestmy and degrade
no admirable a )'iin as this.
A friend of his, of the New York pn-ss,
w ho related nivntly in TTit JnarmiliM the
miserable story of his last years, explains
it all in a few Words:
"Sharp tradesmen took advantap- of
his ncivssitie and unsmipulously ls-lit-
tied his talent. I was udiv inforiueii by
a music publisher w ho had made consid
erable easy money by rapid sales of Fos
ter's songs, tliat this pitiable vagrant
never write so well as when' he was
alsiut half full of com-jcice.' The dealer's
exiut words are quoted."
In some way unknown, this gifted
nan contracted the malady, the mania,
the morbid condition of the brain w hich
made him the slave of alcohol !
The friend just quoted mentions that
hut well-kuown song call.-1 "Jenny with
the Light Brow n Hair " was w rittea in
allusion to his wile, whom he describes
as " a lovely girl, tlie daughter of a physi

Do Varieties Run Out.
Hy thei!irase"niiinitigoiit,"a.saiiilied j
to fniits, is meant loss of vitality, quality i
and fruitfulncss. That some varieties i
have lost one or more of tln-se ijualitics i
when gniwn in hs-alitu-s liy some men,
seem very clear. That the same varieties,
when gmwn in other localities by other
men. an- as s-rfe1 in fruit and foliage, as
ever, is equally as clear. It w ould seem,
then, that the question ,of deterioration
is largely one of soil or tn-attiient. It is
quite natural for a fruit gniwer to plant
in lx-ttcr soil and take better care of
straw-Wry plants that cost hiiuthirty-sis
dollars, than if they cost him tw o dollars
and a half a thousand. It is just as nat
ural for him to become less and less care
ful of the new varieties as they become
more common. If can-ful selection and
cultivation improve, it must be true that
neglect w ill deteriorate. The plants in a

Neatness in Girls.
Neatness is a good thing for a girl, and
if she does not learn it when she is young
she never will. It takes a gn-at deal
more neatness to make a girl look well
than it doe to make a boy look passable.
Not lii-cause a hoy, to sUrt with, is ls-tter
looking than a girl, hut his clothes are of
a different sort, not so many colors in
them ; and people don't ex?i.-t a boy to
look as pretty as a girl. A girl tliat is not
neatly dressed is called a slattern, and no
one likes to lixik at her. Her fat may
be pretty, and her eyes bright, but if
there is a spot of dirt on her cheek, and
her finger ends are black with ink, and
her shoes are not laced or buttoned up,
and her apron is dirty, and her collar not
Imttoned. and her skirt is torn, she can
trot lie liked. I went into a little giri'g
Ksim once, and all her clothes were on

A Story About Maud S.

'When t us irge Stone, oft'incinnati, found
that a Kentucky man- w hich he had
pun-hased was a very sH-ely nuimal, he
hin-d a mail to train h-r. The mail whs
cruel to the man-, and be made but little
headway in developing her siiec.1. She
liecame obstinate and ugly, and not only
n-fused to work right of the sulky, but
was icioits in her stable. Luckily this
blundering, cruel trainer was discharged,
and William ISair employed in his stead.
"Hair at once reversed the tactics of his
pnileecssor, and la-gnu to tn-at the niure
with kindness. She quickly resionded
w ith U-tter behavior, and in a short time

Whereas her former master was afraid to
go into the stall unless she was secun-ly
tied. Hair taught her to pick apples out
uf his rout pocket. As booh as man and
beast had established these pleasant n-la-tioiis

Iriiring the war alsmt twenty Confed
erate prisoners were at Fort Mcllenry,
stored away in a fishier loft nmter the
gniund. One moming C'apt. Xed Bridges
was playing an innocent game of canis,
when the sick call was sounded Hie sig
nal for ailing soldiers to n-port at the sur
geon's office ami b examined.
44 Lieutenant," said ('apt. Bridges, turn
ing to a young soldier, "answer sick call
for me, and let us finish this game, (io
down there and Js-rsoiiate me, and tell
tlie doctor you want another ts.x of his
liver pills.
The obliging lieutenant man-lied out
and pniceedetl with other soldiers, under
escort of the guards, to the surgeon's of
fice. When the name of ('apt. I'ridges
was railed, the lieutenant's face .uppeatt'il
at the little ottiit- window.
" Doctor," he Is-gan, "them pills you
give uie hc!ied me up considerably, but
I want another (mix ; I think another box
w ill fix me up all right."
" I'idn't them pills ciin- you ?" .asked
the doctor abruptly, looking over his
sK-ctacles at the bogus Itridges.
" Xo, but. another box w ill fix me, I
think."
"Well, well," said the doctor, half to
himself, " I'll have to change the tn-at-lueiit
on you."
Then-tiiui he picked up a graduate. 1
glass, and from various Isittles mixed the
most infernal mess, that mortal ever
saw.
The lieutenant shuddered.
When the villainous comjioiin.l was
made up the ilis-tor stirred it vigoroiLsly
and viciously, and then handing it out,
said :
" In-ink that."
The lieutenant took hold of the glass.
Cold chills ran up and down1 his spine.
" Ids-tor," he shimmered, "I'd I'd er
heap ruther take the pills.
" Irink it !" stormed the doctor, and
in the excitement the medicine went
down the lieutenant's throat.
When the lieutenant n-tumed to the
fishier loit he was very glum. When the
value of cards gn-w monotonous, ('apt.
Bridges turned and asked :
" Lieutenant, git them pills?"
" Xaw !"
" Welt," said the captain, "you mi-iln'
In- so snappish ulsnit it. What did the
ilis-tor say ?''
'"lies. id hi- was suing to change lit
treatment mi you, and il'voii don t git well
