Old Songs.
Who has not felt the influence of
the sou£8 of childhood ?
A strain from the air of some lul-
l*bj» quaint aud old. It comes like
an awakened echo from the silent,
laud. And often the dew-drops ofj
childhood’s happy morn twinkle anew i
in the • dying rays of the sunset of j
agc - , . , ■ . i
Perhaps the soug may be faulty- id
rhyme and meter; perhaps it is but a
bit of doggerel, meaningless, to the
mass of mankind, aud wedded to an
air that would be beneath the notice
of a musician of culture.
But the song is sweet to the car of
one who associates the homely lay
with memories of days that will come
again 'no more forever.
Did you ever listen to an old man,
bent with age, gray with the snows of
many winters, piping some ancient
hymn? Or, perhaps, trying to wliis
tie a fiddle tune that is forgotten to
others? •
All the pathos and passion ot life
are interwoven in the discordant notes
that are trilled with the uncertain
quaver of a bird note in November.
Set to some such melody are all the
finer chotds that thrill the human
soul.
The ancient dame humming “Bar
bara Allen” to the click of her knit
ting needles as she sits on the suu-
lit side of her cottage, while the
sun pauses on the brow of the moun
tain to fling a halo around her wrin
kled brow for fear that it may be be
yond the reach ot an earthly sunbeam
before the dawn.
Mauy a stern heart has been soft
ened by the broken chant of an old
darkey crooning a weird song of the
old plantation time.
And many an erring one lias been
brought to the footstool of God by
the sacred harmonics of one of those
camp-meeting songs that were sent up
as a sweet incense to heaven from the
pious lips of those fathers and mothers
in Israel, whose hallowed lips have
long ago been taught the new songs
* that find an echo in the murmuring
of the waters of Eden's crystal streams.
Generations pass, and the restless
millions of mortality come and go.
The shadows of oblivion enshroud
-alike the forms of the best beloved
and the veriest outcasts among the
children of men.
But n song never dies.
The hymn that is chanted iu the
synagogues to-day was heard by the
waters of Babylon iu the long ago.
The uncouth jangle that is wafted
across the rice-fields of Camden by
some assemblage ot negro toilers, has
set the languid air astir in the depths
of the Senegal! bian jungle.
Where is the Frenehmau whose
heart does net throb at the sound ol
the “Marseillaise?” The American
born grandson of some Scottish cotter
listens with n strange feeling of exhil
iaration to the triumphant notes ol
“The Campbells are Coming.”
The hills of Germany arise before
the mind’s eye of the Teuton when the
band strikes up '“Die Wacht am
Rhine.” The thrilling refrain of the
"Star-Spangled Banner’’ arose above
the shriek of the storm aud boom ol
the breakers on the wild bamoau
shore as the waves closed over the
men of the Trenton and the Van-
dalia. *
And pulseless is the heart of the
southron that does not beat fast as
the first weird strain of “Dixie” sa
lutes his ear. It was the lullaby and
the requiem of the proudest nation ol
the earth that ever died so young.
The old songs. The summer winds
bear them to the gales of autumn, and
they censigu them tenderly to the
blasts of winter, which in turn trans
mit them ns a precious legacy to the
breezes of May. They beloug to that
class of ministering spirits that are
immortal, and will not perish from
the earth.-—Constitution.
Kai-eiuii, N. C., May -1.—One of
the most extraordinary suits on record
was instituted in the superior court
Imre this evening by W. T. Hodge, a
citizen of this county. It seems that
about twenty years ago a statute was
enacted requiring all railroads operat
ing in the state to make annual re
ports of their business to the governor
of the state, and failure t > make such
reports made the railroads liable to u
penalty of 8500, which should go to
any citizen who should sue for it.
The statute has never been observed
by the railroads. Mr. Hodge insti
tuted a suit this evening against forty
• railroad* to get the penalty. If suc
cessful, he will gain an aggregate
unount of 820,"
