The modern ragtime music—so-call-ed, may be considered but a temporary aberration. A few years ago the popular airs were taken from the light comic operas, or from the sketchy music of the vaudeville artist.' These have given way to variations on the plaintive negro airs of the old south and will in turn lead to something else that happens to catch the popular fancy. But the simple songs of our fathers —the beautiful music and the heartstirring words will again come into their own. And when they do the great American balladist, Stephen Foster, will be recognized as one, perhaps more than any other, caught the spirit of his time, and rendered it into music and words that were sung by millions of his country men and women. Foster was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, July 4, 1826, and received his education In the public schools. When only sixteen years of age, he wrote his first song, while clerking in a little store in Cincinnati. It was called “Open the Lattice, Love," and was soon followed by “Uncle Ned” — which at once caught the popular ear, and was sung all over the country. Then came “O, Susanna”—popular with the minstrel troupes—and for which he received a hundred dollars. His “Old Folks at Home” was published in 1850—and brought him five hundred dollars from the then famous Christy minstrels. For copyrights of this song he recieved, first and last, nearly $15,000. Among his most popular productions were “Old Black Joe,” “Old Kentucky Home," "Old Folks at Home," and “Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming.” These touching and beautiful compositions are all to be found in •Heart Songs”—that wonderful song collection now being offered by this paper tor fixe coupons and th« cost of distribution. We believe this to be one of the most remarkable presentations ever offered to our readers and it has our hearty endorsement back of it. A reference to the coupon printed in this issue will give information as to the terms upon which it may be had.

LOHENGRIN. Something About Famous Opera— The Bridal Chorus Translation. The “Heart Song” illustrated in today’s issue of the Democrat is the famous Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin. To untold thousands of people this wedding march recalls the most Joyous moment of their lives. In sequence of writing this great opera is the seventh of Wagner’s productions for the stage. The poem was written at Dresden in 1845; the music begun in September, 1846; the instrumentation of the entire work was completed during the ensuing winter and spring; and the first performance took place August 28, 1850, at Weimar. The opera has always been especially popular in the United States and England, not only on account of the wondrous beauty of the music—but because the legend itself has been embodied in English literature. The Lohengrin Bridal Chorus, or wedding march, is only, one of several celebrated compositions of this kind that appear in the book—and it in this completeness and accuracy that make it universally interesting and absolutely a work thzft no home should do without. “Heart Songs” is one of the great books of the century. It will charm, entertain and instruct every member of the family. It. has 500 large pages, Including over four hundred selections, words and music, an<J is now being distributed by this paper to its friends and readers on presentation of five consecutively dated coupons clipped from the paper, and the bare cost of distribution. Books are on display at this office and the choice is optional, as set forth elsewhere in his issue. o PUBLIC SALE.
