SONGS OF TiII’LONG AGO
Old Melodics That Thrilled the
Hearts of Our Ancestoi s.
EVOLUTION OF THE POPULAR TUNE
How many of the popular songs of twenty
years ago can the old boys of today recall?
How many of the old melodics that thrilled
them in the days of their hot youth have
found an abiding place in their memory?
The evolution of the popular song presents a
striking illustration of the survival of the un
flttest.
The great sentimental success of the ante
war period was undoubtedly “Ben Bolt.”
The untimely death of something loveable and
beautiful wai the usual theme of the senti
mental song of that period, though it varied
occasionally in order to picture the heart
havoc caused by the separation of slave
lovers. “Ben Bolt” was a splendid illustra
tion of the prevailing theme. It was hummed,
whistled, sung and played on musical instru
ments for more than a decade. It was im
mensely popular with the young ladies, many
of whom are now grandmothers. “Sweet
Alice” was shrined in every sentimental
female’s heart, and the question of the day
was:
Pon t you rr member sweet Allee, Ben Bolt,
Sweet A ! b e v . itb her hair so brown ?
Shew 11 with <ieliifhtwhtn you gave bor a smile
And trembled with fear s.t your frown.
Sharing “Ben Bolt’s” popularity during the
hamo period were two songs widely sung by
Dan Emmett. Dan Bryant, and other minstrels.
The. c \v< r<- “Nellie Gray” and “O, Susan
nah!” both depicting the sufferings of slavc
«»lovers. “Nellie Gray” swept the country like
a cyclone.
M,. cl aiming Nellie Gray,
'I h y I ave tr.ken you away,
And 1 11 nc'< r see my darling any more
was litard on ©very side and voiced by every
tongue.
“O, dear Susannah!” was built more in the
comic way, ami the request “Don’t you cry
for me” was hired on th© consoling fact that
“I’m going to Alabama with the banjo on my
hi (j '.”
The pessimistic strain in which the fate of a
certain “old nigg r,” popularly known as
j “( ncle Ned.” w;t. heino iied was well known
i beloi<: •* \rllie (1 ray” or “Su mnah” appisired,
i D.m Emmett’s “Dixie” and Koster’s “Swan
<■': llivrr” have, provmi the most prominent of
th< : ;:te-w::r melodics. A sentimental ballad
r.a!led • , L<»rena” was a great favorite in the
LO’.s, and lor thirty years previous the aminai’-
aiice and ph’lo ophy of “Old Rosin the Bow”
wrs known to everyone.
A state of warfare has always proved con
ducive to song. 'l'ho Nourishing condition of
min tre.lsy in ages ] rnit was duo largely to the
warlike and adventurous spirit of the times.
During the civil war both sides were prolific in
song-making- The south made the lost great
hit with L’aml di': “Maryland, My Maryland.”
The “Bonnie Blue F lag” was the southern
national air, ami was to the boys in gray what
“Yankee Doodle” was to the boys in blue. The.
southern women mdcntly took it up, and
through every city rang the chorus:
Hurrah! Hurrah’ for southern ri ihtsofwar,
Hurrah! for the Bonnie Biue l ing that beaxs the
single star.
Os the ‘enlimentnl songs of the war period,
the most popular wi re “Dairy Bell,” “Annie
of the D» 11,” “.lust Before the Battle,
Molln i.” “Toll the Bell for Lovely Nell,” and
“When This Gruel War Is Over.” In the
north, “Wait for the \Va2on,” and “Tiamp,
Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching” had
a great success during the same period, and
the others that, ran riot through camp and fire
side were “Alary Blanc,” “Old Cabin Home,”
-“Fair, E dx\ with Golden l Lai 17” a«4- ‘ - Daisy--
Dean.” Who has forgotten “Daisy Dean”
and its wistful chorus;
None kn.’W thee but to love thee,
Tlu u clear one of my heart,
Thy mom u y t ever fresh nnd green;
'J he wihi-t’.owF i: may wither
Au I fond h. arts lie I r-»ken,
Bttll I love thee, my darling Daisy Denn.
A beautiful song, truly pathetic, obtained
great popularity in both north and south during
the war. This was !• I orc nee Bercy's “Rock
Me to ‘Sleep, Mother.”
The south produr. d two war songs that
evince genuine poetic talent, and have been
I accorded unstinted praise by the critics. They
air the “Conquered Banner.” ami “All Quiet
Along the Bott.-mac Tonight,” the first mimed
by Father Evan and the last by Lamar Foun
taine. Due of the most pathe tic poems that
appeared during the war was “Somebody’s
Darling.” It ran like this:
Into the ward of the whitewashed halls,
W? iiv the <e id and the dying lay,
Woun led by bn>ontts, shells and balls,
Sutnebod s tiarlne.; was Lorije oi o day;
Soxr.ebotiy’s darling, so young ami brave,
- ur.nv y< i on his sweet, pale fare
The llng’rtug light of his boyhood’s grace.
MatiC'l an 1 damp are the curls of gold,
Ki sing the snow of that fair y< ung brow,
I’a'.e me the ii| s of delicate im Id
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Bark Korn his 1 r 'utitul blue-vrinc I brow,
Brush h s wnndi i .ng waves of gold;
Cr- ss hii hands on bis bosom now
Svmel ody s darling is still and roll.
Kiss him once for sojnrb-»<lv’s sake;
Murmur a prayer s »n an*l low;.
One bright curl from its fair mates take,
i’hey wore somebody 's pi ide, you know.
Somebody’s hand had rested there;
Was it a mother’s soft ami white?
<'r have the lips of a sister, fair,
Been baptiz- d in their waves of light”
The cirrus down was the gr« at promulgator
of popular music during and just after the
war. He was then in the full blaze of his
glory. Since then the blaze has degenerated
to a spark, nnd that is threatening to go out.
But twenty years ago ho was the biggest at
-1 traction in the ring, nnd his song sold like
| shares in a wild-cat mining scheme.
The war songs were succeeded by what I
I might be termed the Blßyrmersonian epoch.
These were the dayswhen the’ Big Sunflow

demic. The agile Billy the pioneer of the
genteel song-ami-dam e business, ami when he

ONE MOMENT TOO LATE.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The scene of my tale opens in a little cabin
in the Allegheny mountains, in W’cst Virginia,
twenty-live years ago. A woman was anxious
ly bending over a sick child tossing and mut
tering in the unrest of fever. Every now and
then the word “father” escaped the child’s
lips.
“That child grieves powerfully after her
father,” said one of the neighbors, who had
come to help the mother nurse the ill child.
“That she docs,” replied the poor mother,
with a weary 7 sigh. “He always set a world of
store by her. It almost br< ke her little heart
when lie went to the war, and since she has
been sick she has Ijegged for him the pitiful lest
you ever heard.”
“Can’t he come to see her?” asked the
neighbor.
“No,” replied the woman; “his colonel said
he couldn’t be spared now. He had a furlough
last summer. If he just had known about this
and waited. Seems to me she might get well
if she could just see her father, and it wouldn’t
fall so hard on me, either, if he xvas here.”
Several days wont by and little Sallie, the
sick child, grew' worse. At length the mother
wrote an urgent letter to her husband, out of
the agony of her heart, imploring him to come
home at all costs if he w ished to see his little
daughter alive again. Once more he asked for
a furlough and again he was refused. An en
gagement was pending. The enemy’s force
xv.is greatly superior to ours and not a man could
be spared.
John Ball was a brave man; he had proved
that in many an engagement. Nothing could
have tempted him to swerxe from his duty as
a soldier, except his frantic desire to see his
child once more. Under the pressure of tliis
feeling, he left the ramp against orders, and
lied to his rude cabin among the Alleghenies
just in time to see little Sallie’s face light up
once more with a gleam of joyful recognition
and to receive her parting kiss. To do this he
had inc urred the brand of deserter, and had
taken his life into bis hands.
KETUKMNG TO THE KANES.
Scarcely' were the child’s remains interred
than he, without waiting to comfort his sor
row-stricken wife, started back to camp, in
tending to throw himself on the mercy of his
commander for exculpation of an offense com
mitted under so ovf rwhelming a pressure, or if
the wort camo to the worst to meet
his fate like a man. But a new com
plication had arisen. During the lew
days he had been absent the men on either side
had changed their position like the figures on
a chess-lwiard, and the enemy’s troops had
come botw’ion him and his command. He had
tiaveled through a cold, drenching rain, sleep
ing at night in a forest to lessen the risk of
falling into the enemy’s hands. He began to
feel a strange stupor creeping over him and
was just able to drag himself to the house of a
friendly countryman, who took him in and
kept him for the next few weeks, during which
time he lay ill of pneumonia. .lust as ho was
beginning to convalesce, and before he had
had time to voluntarily give himself up, bo
was arrest'd as a deserter. His xvifo followed
him to camp and pleaded for him, telling the
cause of his desertion with all the rude eloquence
that strong emotion could dictate and taking
all the blame on herself. In vain ; he was
tried and condemned by every rule of war as a
deserter. The commanding ofiicer, however,
made this concession to the agonized wife—he
would defer the execution for three days, so as
to give her time t© go to Richmond and im
plore the clemency of President Davis, which
was now the sole hope for the prisoner’s life.
GOING To PLEAD FOR II EK HUSBAND.
Like Jennie Deans going to plead before t?e
queen for her sister’s life, the simple moun
tain women went to the Confederate capital
and pleaded her husband's cause before Jeffer
suul Dav ia. She- had-it-i 1 p ker-pe wer—ter- -provo
that he had shown himself a brave soldier;
that he had not left the camp from cowardice,
or defection from the cause, but from his over
whelming love for his dying child and his in
tense desire to see her once more before she
passed away. Davis finally granted the man’s
pardon ami drew up a paper to that effect,
xvhich he gave to a messenger, directing him
to take the next train and carry the dispatch
to the prisoner’s commanding ofiicer. He,
moreover, gave the woman a duplicate paper,
to make her husband’s release tlie more cer
tain.
Joyfully she started off with the nrccious
document that xvas to carry life and liberty to
her beloved husband. The carsseemed all too
slow for her burning impatience. ’The train
was always heavily loaded in those days; there
was so much traveling to ami fro, so much
shifting of the tloops from one po nt to an- !
other, i roin hard ami constant use during
the xtar tlu* railroads got into very bad order,
so that ac< idents ami detentions were quite
frequent occurrences, <'perially towards the
close of the war. On this fateful trip one of
these frequent accidents occurred daring the
night It xvas not a very disastrous accident,
but still it occasioned the detention of the train
until day before the necessary repairs could bo
made.
NEARING CAMP.
It seemed as if “the stars in their courses
fought against” the condemned prisoner. His
wih* wrung her hands with frantic impatii n e j
during the detention, but. there was no help for I
it. She had to enduro it. though each moment ;
seemed to her an hour. At length she was speed
ing on her way again, and in a few hours more
she reached her destination. She and Davis’s
messenger started together in a xvagon for the
camp, urging the drix er on to almost frantic
haste. As they neared the canu> the Round of a
volley of guns made the poor wife shivt r ami
turn pale. They reached the camp. She could
I not ask a question, but the messenger re
quested that they should be conducted to the
commander's tent. Silently she handed her
tin* president's paper. Ho took it. read it
with xvhite lace and lips and silently turned
1 axvay from her. it xvas too late; the terrible
! truth was l-ornc to her without a word being
I spoken. With a heartrending shriek sin* fell
i iusimsiblo on the ground. Tenderly the bravo
butjstern mru around her lifted him up and
ministered to her ami tears stood in many a
veteran's eyes over the sorrow-strickenxioinan.
The commamling otiicer had deferred the
execution thr> e days, ami even late into the
afternoon of the third day. Then tl.iiteen
men from another regiment than John Ball’s
xxere chosen, and twelve of them were given
muskets, though onlx one of those mu ;kets I
had shot in it. The thirteenth man was h< hl
, in reserve in case of the tirst shot not doing
its work effectually, anti to render the scene ;
1 mon* harrowing this aetnully proved to be the j
' case, so th© thirteenth man was called on to I
g’.xetlio death wound to the ill-fated John i
Bali. This man declared aftvrxvard to a friend i
that tins xvas the most u rriblo moment us his :
, life, ami that he xvuuld rather have undergone I
death himself than to be called on to ful:il
such a task. 1 have given a fictitious name to
the prisoner, but in ail other respect* i have
' adhered to facts.
THE WIFE’S FATE.
When the wife recovered from her swoon her '■
; brain xvas so derangid by the terrible blow
1 that she st eined mercifully unable to realize 1
or clearly recall the tixigedv that had befallen
her. Alternate fits of xvild oxciteimmt and
gloomy apathy suecet dod each other. Nho ■
slipped axvay out of camp and instinctively '
found her way back to her humble cabin, and !
after pining there a few weeks she w is one i
morning found lying dead on the grave of lit- 1

1 SOUTHERN LEGISLATURES.
Columbia, S. C., December B.—[Special.]
Tu the house today another bill proposing to
reduce the salaries of state officers was sum
marily slaughtered. The bill to exempt all
property from taxation and utilize the phos
phate deposits belonging to tlie stafeTri meet
ing the expenses of the government was una
voidably reported, but its consideration was
postponed to a future day. The bill to estab
lish an agricultural college was favorably re
ported and made a special order for next
Thursday. The bill to compel insurance
companies to pay the full value of all loss and
damage to property insured to the extent of
the sum specified in the policy was, after a
short debate, rejected. Tlio bill declaring
the right of married women to
control their separate estates passed its second
reading, as did also the bill to apportion the
representatives of the several counties of this
state in the house of representatives upon the
basis of the United States census.
I'ho senate passed tlie joint resolution pro
i iding for calling a constitutional convention,
and adopted all but one of the house aincnd
incuts to the bill to prohibit the obstruction of
navigation by the construction of railroad
bridges over and across rivers in this state.
The joint resolution to strike out from the con
stitution the section which provides that all
free schools and colleges Os the state shall be
free and open to both races, ami the joint reso
lution to reorganize the judiciary system of tire
state were both killed.
Riohmond, Va., December B.—Tn the bouse
of delegates today a joint resolution was
adopted, 90 to 1, directing Virginia’s senators,
and requesting her representatives in congress
to use their best efforts to secure a repeal, at
an early day, of the entire internal revenue
system of taxation, and. failing in that, to se
cure, if possible, a repeal of so much of the
system as imposes a tax on tobacco in any of
its forms and upon spirits distilled from fruits.

A Good Yearly Average.
From the Chicago News.
“But, Mr. Superintendent, you will admit, I
suppose, that your street cars are outrageously
cold
“Well, ye ,in winter they arc pretty cold, of
coarse, but you ought to be w Hing to take a reason
able view of the matter.”
■ “Kea; ottable view?”
"Why, certainly. Now, if you should put a ther
mometer in our cars nnd leave it there the year
round you would find that with the HO degrees
above zero in the summer and the 10 degrees below
zero in winter we strike a pretty good average in the
entire year."
