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," PROFESSION AC CARDS. g F. HAWKINS. .IK. AttornoY and Ouincdliii- Uw. TiiU.UASVILEE, - Office with M duty re A McIntyre JecSi-iy J II.
