other family picture in tho samo strata of
life: Tho fat her plays tho "fiddle,'' tho mother
learned to ship; a little, and though tho voieu
never know tho mcaiiin of that n13-.stori-e.js
phrnsc, -'voice building." 3-et she could sin;;
Sunday school tunes, a few comic songs, per
haps, and a ballad or two like "Way Down
Upon the Suwanee Jtiver." After supper and
on Sundays the children, mul now and then a
neighbor's children, gather around and aro
led through tho mazes of "Virginia Reel,''
"Fishers' Hornpipe,"' or somo "Carnivul of
Venice" with variations, whilo tho mother's
voice sounds sweeter to tho little ones then
Patti's as she sinejs her favorite song or leads
in some h3-nin, like "Rock of Ages Cluft for
We," in ?7hich all can juin. These children
spend their evenings inodly at hour-. Soon
the oldest learns to play a i'ute, and by great
economy a cabinet organ is provided for the
sister, so that a, family- orchestra is finally s
tablished, and tho years roll around wiu!o
theso hearts expand i;i harmony and tie
waves of temptations beat in vain ngain.;t
this fortress of music.

There are hundreds and thousands of idle
men ia a city liko Chicago. Is it not better
to occupy their thoughts with music than to
leave thorn to brood over their misfortunes
and rub tho itch of their poor opinions until
the3 becorr.o scab. 011 tho body politic? A
city- hand of music pcrforminpj each day in a
public: place would draw to it many who
would otherwise b in mischief, and it would
pay to c:ig?.go thirty or forty men by the
3-ear to play regularly every day.
Vve hire a small army cf men to keep filth
and garbage from accumulation in our
streets. Is not tho accumulation of mental
and moral garbage just as dangerous? The
pure and inspiring efect of a good band of
music will act as a disinfectant, purifying
tb3 condition of mental depravity as no other
medium eaa. Attain, scores of men are en
gaged in beautifying our parks and drives,
which tho poor caunot enjoy because they
are o far away. If th9 money of tho tax
payers caa thus be used to pay for flowers to
delight the cense of sight of rich- people, who
own carriages, can it not be justly appro
priated to buy music for the poor? It is time
our jx?op';a began to think of these things,
and consider if it is not as wise to amuse tho
poor as to entertain the rich; if it Is not wiser
to prevent than to punish crime. CUcago
