<p>CHOICE GEMS SELECTED FROM OLIVER DITSON COMPANY'S LATEST LISTS OF NEW MUSIC
</p><p>VOCAL.
</p><p>Song o' Cowans. Db.4. db to gb. McCartney 50. A pretty song, with words in the Scotch dialect. Suitable for a soprano voice; and, if we mistake not, a song that will be much in vogue among admirers of good modern vocal compositions.
</p><p>Maid Dreaming. G 4. d to g. Macy. 40. The oddness of style manifest in this new song, as well as the excellence of both poetry and melody, should place it at once among the most desirable of recent song productions. The piano accompaniment is of itself an attraction.
</p><p>On the Swinging Branches. F. 4. c to F. G.F. Wilson. 35. "On the Swinging Branches," or the "Song of the Bobolink," is one of the latest of Mr. Wilson's compositions. It is of an unusually pleasing nature, tasteful and graceful, while the melodious waltz-refrain makes it specially attractive as to the popular requirements.
</p><p>Earth's Fairest Flower. Db. 4. c to F. Orton Bradley. 40. One of the best modern songs for mezzo-soprano or baritone. It has a graceful movement in 9-8 tempo, with melody and piano accompaniment alike agreeable.
</p><p>Villanelle. (Peasant's Song.) Eb. 5. Eb to b. Dell' Acqua. 50. "Villanelle," or the peasant's song-- J'ai vu passer Hironelle ("I've seen the swallows pass by me")--is one of the most acceptable of the modern songs. The translation is by Harrison Millard. Both French and English version are given. It is recommended to sopranos.
</p><p>He Leadeth Me. Duet. Eb. 4. S. Salter. 35. A fine sacred duet for alto and tenor. We commend it to choir-singers. the accompaniment is for either piano or organ.
</p><p>There's a Friend for Little Children. C. 4. c to g. E.s. [Hosmer?]. 50. A solo which many who desire suitable pieces to be sung to a Sabbath gathering will be pleased to obtain. The accompaniment for either piano or organ is interesting. The piece can be used to advantage by a choir-soloist for special occasions. It is a gem for home use as well. Try it.
</p><p>Titania's Cradle. Sopr. or Ten. F. 5. E to a. Lehman. 35
</p><p>Titania's Cradle. Mezzo-Sopr. or Bar. Eb. 5. d to g. Lehman. 35. The well-known words from Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" ("I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows") are here melodiously and artistically set by Liza Lehman. It is a good song for an experienced vocalist. Published in two different keys, as above.
</p><p>The Children's Hour. Eb. 4. bb to Eb. Peterson. 40. A pretty poem set to equally attractive and very tuneful music.
</p><p>'Tis that I Love Thee. Duet. D. 4. (Lohr.) Vane. 60. A most agreeable duet for two voices of medium compass. Try it.
</p><p>Love's Signal. Ab. 4. c to F. A.F. Burnett. 60. One of the most enjoyable of recent songs. The words are by Fred E. Weatherly, the well-known English writer, and the music by Burnett will find hosts of admirers among the lovers of the best English songs. The sentiment is very pretty:--
"Only a wee worn kerchief that lay in my trembling hands, As I sat by the Window dreaming and looked on the moonlit lands."
</p><p>Waiting to welcome her Boy. G. 2. d to F# J.W. Wheeler. 40. Popular song and chorus by a popular author. The sentiment is good and the song is worth a place in your collection of vocal gems of this kind.
</p><p>At the French Ball. Song with Dance. F. 3. c to F. D.F. Braham. 40. "I went to the ball, the naughty French ball, And I danced with a little grisette; She was not over stout, and not very tall, And so pretty I soon called her 'pet'."
</p><p>The Darkey Musketeers. March-song. F. 3. c to F. V.W. Wheeler. 40. Another new comic song by the author of "The Colored Four Hundred." Bright and catchy.
</p><p>He isn't on the job just now. Eb. 2. Eb to F. McGlennon. 40. Humorous song. Just the kind to provoke merriment.
</p><p>Spanish Cradle Song. Fm. 4 Eb to Db. Boott. 35. One of Mr. Boott's latest contributions to the list of excellent modern songs. Both Spanish and English versions are given. The song is one of the most noticeable of recent compositions. It is for a voice of medium compass.
</p><p>As a Tale that is told. Bb. 4. bb to Eb. W.F. Sudds. 50. An excellent song for low voice, either alto or baritone, and we commend it to all who admire good verse set to equally good music.
</p><p>Sooner or Later. Eb. 4. bb to Eb. W. F. Sudds. 35. In this song Mr. Sudds has admirably set the verses of Stewart Allen to an original melody, which expresses the sentiment of the poem in a musicianly and agreeable manner. The accompaniment is for either organ or piano. A fine song for low voice.
</p><p>Wit and Wine. G. 4. d to E. E. M. Chesham. 60. The story of an ancient king who made merry with his courtiers, and knighted his serving man. It is a fine, hearty, rollicking song for baritone. Try it.
</p><p>Sweetheart, my Song is come. F. 3. b to G. F.S. Sommers. 35
</p><p>The Touch of the Wand. G. 3. d to E. F.S. Sommers. 40
</p><p>Chansonette. Eb. 3. bb to Eb. F.S. Sommers. 35. The above three songs by Frederick S. Sommers are the work of a musician whose music will repay the learner in the most agreeable manner. The piano parts are no less satisfactory and musicianly than the melody itself and the general treatment of the themes.
</p><p>Suffer Little Children. D. 4. c# to D. Roeder, 50. A new sacred song by Martin Roeder; teacher of singing at the N.E. Conservatory of Music.
</p><p>Her Last Good Bye. F. 2. c. to F. Delamere. 35. A song and chorus in the popular vein. New and pleasing.
</p><p>Take up Thy Cross. Eb. 4. ab to F. C.E. B. Price. 50. A sacred song for mezzo-soprano or baritone. Excellent for a choir soloist. Accompaniment suitable for either piano or organ.
</p><p>Forsaken. Ballad. G. 4. d to F# Millard. 40. The good taste and exquisite treatment of the theme so beautifully expressed in the verses by Mary C. Preston, are characteristic of Harrison Millard. This is his latest song; and to all singers and mezzo-soprano or tenor voices we say, try this new ballad, and you will not regret the trial. The melody and the graceful, delicate piano accompaniment captivate the hearer at once. Don't fail to secure this latest song by Millard.
</p><p>The Boat with My True Love's Name. F. 2. c to D. Collin Coe. 40. A new song by Collin Coe. It has a pretty waltz-refrain, and will probably be popular as a light, melodious "boat-song," or a "catchy" song and refrain of the college type. Simple, dainty, and melodious. Here is a verse, to show the sentiment:--"My true heart is a brave, brave girl; She lives by the wide, wide sea, And when I sail on the ocen She watches and waits for me. I have a boat so trim and neat,--For sailing she's won her fame,--And I call my boat the 'Bonnie Bell,' For that's my true love's name." "Over the sea, over the sea, My Bonnie Bell goes sailing with me."
</p><p>There's a Green Hill far Away. Eb. 4 Eb to G. J.C. Warren. 50. A sacred song for soprano. One of the very best of recent solos for choir singers. The familiar verse in a new musical setting.
</p><p>INSTRUMENTAL.
</p><p>Gov. Russell's Grand March. Eb. 4. Grace Harding. 50. A captivating March for the piano. A good portrait of Gov. Russell adorns the title page.
</p><p>Stolen Kisses. Waltz. F. Bb and G. 4. Josephine Gro. 60. Good waltzes are always in demand. This set is very pretty, and we advise all who desire waltz-music for the piano to obtain a copy of it.
</p><p>Beacon Waltzes. Eb. 4. Lawrence Neebe. 60 Good melodious waltz-music for the piano. Try it.
</p><p>Figaro Waltzes. A. D. G. 4. Lombardero. 50. Fine Waltzes for the piano; not difficult, and well worth learning.
</p><p>Violanta Polka. G. 3. J. Knecht. 35. Spirited, bright, pretty dance music for the piano.
</p><p>Columbia. Fantasia-Polka. For the cornet. Rollinson. 75. An admirable solo in G for the Bb cornet. Fine piano accompaniment. The piece is dedicated to and played by John M. Flockton. It is one of Rollinson's best cornet solos.

The well-known words from Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" ("I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows") are here melodiously and artistically set by Liza Lehman. It is a good song for an experienced vocalist. Published in two different keys, as above.
</p><p>The Children's Hour. Eb. 4. bb to Eb. Peterson. 40. A pretty poem set to equally attractive and very tuneful music.
</p><p>'Tis that I Love Thee. Duet. D. 4. (Lohr.) Vane. 60. A most agreeable duet for two voices of medium compass. Try it.
</p><p>Love's Signal. Ab. 4. c to F. A.F. Burnett. 60. One of the most enjoyable of recent songs. The words are by Fred E. Weatherly, the well-known English writer, and the music by Burnett will find hosts of admirers among the lovers of the best English songs. The sentiment is very pretty:--
"Only a wee worn kerchief that lay in my trembling hands, As I sat by the Window dreaming and looked on the moonlit lands."
</p><p>Waiting to welcome her Boy. G. 2. d to F# J.W. Wheeler. 40. Popular song and chorus by a popular author. The sentiment is good and the song is worth a place in your collection of vocal gems of this kind.
</p><p>At the French Ball. Song with Dance. F. 3. c to F. D.F. Braham. 40. "I went to the ball, the naughty French ball, And I danced with a little grisette; She was not over stout, and not very tall, And so pretty I soon called her 'pet'."
</p><p>The Darkey Musketeers. March-song. F. 3. c to F. V.W. Wheeler. 40. Another new comic song by the author of "The Colored Four Hundred." Bright and catchy.
</p><p>He isn't on the job just now. Eb. 2. Eb to F. McGlennon. 40. Humorous song. Just the kind to provoke merriment.
</p><p>Spanish Cradle Song. Fm. 4 Eb to Db. Boott. 35. One of Mr. Boott's latest contributions to the list of excellent modern songs. Both Spanish and English versions are given. The song is one of the most noticeable of recent compositions. It is for a voice of medium compass.
</p><p>As a Tale that is told. Bb. 4. bb to Eb. W.F. Sudds. 50. An excellent song for low voice, either alto or baritone, and we commend it to all who admire good verse set to equally good music.
</p><p>Sooner or Later. Eb. 4. bb to Eb. W. F. Sudds. 35. In this song Mr. Sudds has admirably set the verses of Stewart Allen to an original melody, which expresses the sentiment of the poem in a musicianly and agreeable manner. The accompaniment is for either organ or piano. A fine song for low voice.
</p><p>Wit and Wine. G. 4. d to E. E. M. Chesham. 60. The story of an ancient king who made merry with his courtiers, and knighted his serving man. It is a fine, hearty, rollicking song for baritone. Try it.
</p><p>Sweetheart, my Song is come. F. 3. b to G. F.S. Sommers. 35
</p><p>The Touch of the Wand. G. 3. d to E. F.S. Sommers. 40
</p><p>Chansonette. Eb. 3. bb to Eb. F.S. Sommers. 35. The above three songs by Frederick S. Sommers are the work of a musician whose music will repay the learner in the most agreeable manner. The piano parts are no less satisfactory and musicianly than the melody itself and the general treatment of the themes.
</p><p>Suffer Little Children. D. 4. c# to D. Roeder, 50. A new sacred song by Martin Roeder; teacher of singing at the N.E. Conservatory of Music.
</p><p>Her Last Good Bye. F. 2. c. to F. Delamere. 35. A song and chorus in the popular vein. New and pleasing.
</p><p>Take up Thy Cross. Eb. 4. ab to F. C.E. B. Price. 50. A sacred song for mezzo-soprano or baritone. Excellent for a choir soloist. Accompaniment suitable for either piano or organ.
</p><p>Forsaken. Ballad. G. 4. d to F# Millard. 40. The good taste and exquisite treatment of the theme so beautifully expressed in the verses by Mary C. Preston, are characteristic of Harrison Millard. This is his latest song; and to all singers and mezzo-soprano or tenor voices we say, try this new ballad, and you will not regret the trial. The melody and the graceful, delicate piano accompaniment captivate the hearer at once. Don't fail to secure this latest song by Millard.
</p><p>The Boat with My True Love's Name. F. 2. c to D. Collin Coe. 40. A new song by Collin Coe. It has a pretty waltz-refrain, and will probably be popular as a light, melodious "boat-song," or a "catchy" song and refrain of the college type. Simple, dainty, and melodious. Here is a verse, to show the sentiment:--"My true heart is a brave, brave girl; She lives by the wide, wide sea, And when I sail on the ocen She watches and waits for me. I have a boat so trim and neat,--For sailing she's won her fame,--And I call my boat the 'Bonnie Bell,' For that's my true love's name." "Over the sea, over the sea, My Bonnie Bell goes sailing with me."
</p><p>There's a Green Hill far Away. Eb. 4 Eb to G. J.C. Warren. 50. A sacred song for soprano. One of the very best of recent solos for choir singers. The familiar verse in a new musical setting.
</p><p>INSTRUMENTAL.
</p><p>Gov. Russell's Grand March. Eb. 4. Grace Harding. 50. A captivating March for the piano. A good portrait of Gov. Russell adorns the title page.
</p><p>Stolen Kisses. Waltz. F. Bb and G. 4. Josephine Gro. 60. Good waltzes are always in demand. This set is very pretty, and we advise all who desire waltz-music for the piano to obtain a copy of it.
</p><p>Beacon Waltzes. Eb. 4. Lawrence Neebe. 60 Good melodious waltz-music for the piano. Try it.
</p><p>Figaro Waltzes. A. D. G. 4. Lombardero. 50. Fine Waltzes for the piano; not difficult, and well worth learning.
</p><p>Violanta Polka. G. 3. J. Knecht. 35. Spirited, bright, pretty dance music for the piano.
</p><p>Columbia. Fantasia-Polka. For the cornet. Rollinson. 75. An admirable solo in G for the Bb cornet. Fine piano accompaniment. The piece is dedicated to and played by John M. Flockton. It is one of Rollinson's best cornet solos.

Mudsills Are Coming
Description
An account of the resource
A mudsill is a sill or timber placed on or buried under the ground to support a structure. Southerners sometimes referred to Northerners as "mudsills," in derision of what they saw as the lowly social status of most Northern men. During the Civil War, Union soldiers took pride in the term to contrast themselves against their supposedly more high born and gentlemanly opponents.

<p>Lincoln's Requiem
Words by Irene Boynton
Music by J.A. Butterfield
1. Dead! dead! how swift the dire news flies, And wakes a nation's agonies! From town to town, from mouth to mouth, Swift spreads the dreaded message forth; In lowly cot, in lordly hall, This grief enshrouds and covers all. And on the breast drops ev'ry head, In sorrow for the noble dead.
</p><p>Chorus: Oh, weep for fallen greatness! weep! Let tears express our woes; But while our Lincoln's soul doth sleep, Brave men strike down his foes!
</p><p>2. Dead! dead! but not as warriors die, He fell not shouting battle cry--Not in the open light of heav'n--Not in his home his soul was riven--Not on the plain where hand to hand The brave cross blade with foemen's brand, But where the waves of pleasure flow, Death aim'd his shaft thro' secret foe.
</p><p>Chorus
</p><p>3. Dead! dead! and now when hopes were high, And wars dread curse was passing by, When traitors had their madness stay'd, And hero hands sheathed vengeful blade, When homes and hearthstones gleamd afar, To manly hearts grown tired of war, And long wooed peace had left the sky, It was no time for him to die.
</p><p>Chorus
</p><p>4. Dead! dead! and when the millions free Sent up their shouts of liberty, When from the depths of bondage wrung, Sweet freedoms song, by freedmen sung, When million hearts their thanks out pour'd And angel ears in pleasure heard, When words his hand has trac'd live on It is not meet to mourn him gone.
</p><p>Chorus
</p><p>5. Dead! dead! and has he died in vain? Shall we in lethargy remain? His years of patriot toil forget Shall unavenged his life sun set? No! for this blow in treach'ry given, The smoke of strife shall rise to heav'n, And 'till our flag in triumph waves His foes and our find bloody graves!

<p>WE'LL FIGHT FOR UNCLE ABE
Words by C.E. Pratt
</p><p>1. Way down in old Varginni, I suppose you all do know, They have tried to bust the Union But they find it is no go, The yankee boys are starting out de Union for to sabe, And we're going down to Washington, To fight for Uncle Abe. Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap, Strap your knapsacks on your back For we're a gwine to Washington To fight for Uncle Abe. Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap, Strap your knapsacks on your back For we're a gwine to Washington To fight for Uncle Abe.
</p><p>2. There is General Grant at Vicksburg, Just see what he has done. He has taken sixty cannon And made the Rebels run, And next he will take Richmond I'll bet you half a dollar And if he catches Gen'ral Johnson Oh wont he make him holler. Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap, Strap your knapsacks on your back For we're a gwine to Washington To fight for Uncle Abe.
</p><p>3. The season now is coming, When the roads begin to dry, Soon the army of the Potomac Will make the rebels fly, For General McClellan he's the man The Union for to sabe, O! Hail Columbia's right side up, And so's your Uncle Abe. Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap, Strap your knapsacks on your back For we're a gwine to Washington To fight for Uncle Abe. Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap, Strap your knapsacks on your back For we're a gwine to Washington To fight for Uncle Abe.

You may talk of Southern chivalry And cotton being king, But I guess before the war is done You'll think another thing, They say that recognition Will the rebel country sabe, But Johnny Bull and Mister France Are 'fraid of Uncle Abe. Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap, Strap your knapsacks on your back For we're a gwine to Washington To fight for Uncle Abe.

<p>LEE & WALKER'S LATE POPULAR BALLADS, 722 CHESTNUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA.
</p><p>KEEP MY SECRET, NELLIE DEAREST. Words by Thomas Manahan; Music by H.Th. Knake.
</p><p>"Keep my secret, Nellie dearest, 'Neath thy marble bosom's swell; Never breathe it in thy whisper, For it's sacred; guard it well; None but thee were ever trusted With the vows I made to thee: Keep them pure, then, Nellie dearest, As the gems beneath the sea."
</p><p>A charming song, well composed, and with an easy accompaniment. We cheerfully recommend it. Price, 30 cents.
</p><p>KIND FRIENDS ARE NEAR HER. Song and chorus: an answer to "Who will care for mother now?" Words by Ednor Rossiter; Music by B. Frank Walters.
</p><p>"Sleep, noble hero, Let not one fear Steal o'er thy brave heart As death draws near; For, in her sorrow, Mother will find True hearts around her, Loving and kind."
</p><p>The popularity of "Who will care for mother now?" induced the above song as a reply; and it is a most suitable one, both in words and music, and is within the capacity of all singers, and also has an easy accompaniment. Price, 30 cents.
</p><p>I REMEMBER THE HOUR WHEN SADLY WE PARTED. Answer to "Weeping, sad and lonely." Song and chorus. Words by Ednor Rossiter; Music by B. Frank Walters.
</p><p>"I remember the hour when sadly we parted, The tears on your pale cheek glistening like dew.--When, clasped in your arms, almost broken-hearted, I swore by the bright sky I'd ever be true,--True to the love that nothing could sever, And true to the flag of my country forever. Chorus--Then weep not, love, oh, weep not; Think not hopes are vain; For when this fatal war is over We will surely meet again."
</p><p>The popularity of this song has been immense, several thousand having already been published. It is not to be wondered at, however, as the sentiment, both in words and music, is unsurpassed. Price, 30 cents.
</p><p>WEEP NOT FOR ME, MY MOTHER DEAR. Written and composed by Frank Drayton.
</p><p>"Weep not for me, my mother dear, Though in thy cot thy dear one's missed, Who round thy neck so oft hath clung And thy dear lips with fondness kissed, Who oft at eve her weary head Hath lain upon thy tender breast, When thy sweet voice, with cheerful song, Hath lulled thy darling child to rest."
</p><p>The songs of Drayton have attained a deserved popularity, as the words are expressive of fine sentiments, and the melodies are pleasing. This one especially is deserving of attention. Price, 30 cents.
</p><p>COME WHEN YOU WILL, I'VE A WELCOME FOR THEE. Words and Music by W. Landsdon. A new and revised edition has just been issued.
</p><p>"Come in the spring-time, come in the summer, Come when the autumn makes leafless each tree; Or when the chill wind of winter is blowing,--Come when you will, I've a welcome for thee!
</p><p>"Welcome as sunshine to birds and to flowers, Or first sight of land to the roamer by sea, Thou bring'st to my mind all my happiest hours: Come when you will, I've a welcome for thee." Price, 40 cents.
</p><p>THE PICKET GUARD. Composed by H. Coyle, and respectfully dedicated to B.M. Greene and his comrades, of the 49th Regiment P.V.
</p><p>"All quiet along the Potomac, they say, Except now and then a stray picket Is shot on his beat, as he walks to and fro, By a rifleman hid in a thicket. 'Tis nothing: a private or two, now and then, Will not count in the news of the battle; Not an officer lost,--only one of the men Moaning out alone the death-rattle. All quiet along the Potomac to-night, No sound, save the rush of the river; While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead! The picket's off duty forever!"
</p><p>Also a very popular song, as the words appeal to thousands of sorrowing hearts, made so by the death in battle of fathers, sons, and brothers. The music is simple and touching. Price, 30 cents.
</p><p>Our Publications can be had in all the Music-Stores in the Country. Should they not have the Pieces required, write directly to us, and we will cheerfully send the Music, post-paid, upon the receipt of the marked prices. TEACHERS will find it to their advantage to send their orders to us; for in this department of our business especial attention is given.

<p>Select Catalogue of Mrs. E.A. Parkhurst's Compositions. 1864. Published by Horace Waters, 481 Broadway, N.Y. 1864.
</p><p>NORAH DEAREST
</p><p>Is a charming and popular song with chorus. It is simply arranged in the key of G. "When the stars are brightly shining For above my weary head Softly steal my thoughts to Norah, Norah, sleeping with the dead."
</p><p>HOW SOFTLY ON THE BRUISED HEART
</p><p>Is an exquisite little ballad and should be found in every household in the land. It is simple and full of feeling, and easily arranged in the key of B flat. "How softly on the bruised heart A word of kindness falls, And to the dry and parched soul The [?] tear drop falls."
</p><p>SWEET LITTLE NELL.
</p><p>This is a fitting companion to "Sweet Evelina," which has been so popular, and which was one of Mrs. Parkhurst's best arrangements. It is spirited in its movement and has a charming chorus. "Oh! talk not of daisies and violets of spring, Of rose-buds and dew-drops or any such thing; For the loveliest flow'ret that grows in the dell Is the dear bonnie maiden they call Little Nell."
</p><p>THE ANGELS ARE HOVERING NEAR.
</p><p>This song is beautiful beyond description. The melody is low and sweet, while the Piano accompaniment has a smooth, gliding movement, very charming in its effect. It is arranged in A flat. "When the glow of the sonnet is fused in the sky, And the creep of the twilight at evening is nigh, When the eyelids of darkness are wet with the dew, And the stars are ablaze in the [dawn?] of the blue, The angels are hovering near."
</p><p>THE BEAUTIFUL ANGEL BAND.
</p><p>This is another ballad in A flat. The words are very beautiful and the music is finely adapted. Mrs. Parkhurst possesses a most remarkable faculty of interblending words and melody, and she was never more successful than in this song. "Mother, dear Mother, they're calling me now; Behold is the beautiful west, With a [bright crown?] decking each youthful brow, They came down the land of the blest."
</p><p>I CAN'T FORGET.
</p><p>This ballad, although simple, is very artistic in style, and is destined to be a favorite in the concert room and parlor. The melody is pure, combined with the richest harmony. Key of C. "Do not chide if found affection Lingers still when hope is past, Weeping tears of deep dejection Where the wrecks of joy are met."
</p><p>DOST THOU EVER THINK OF ME, LOVE?
</p><p>This is a song and chorus of the sentimental order, and cannot fail to be popular. It has been pronounced by good judges to be one of the prettiest ballads published. It is in the key of G. "Dost thou every think of me, love? Dost thou ever think of me? Do you still my memory cherish, Though I'm far away from thee?"
</p><p>ANGEL MARY.
</p><p>This is a sweet and simple ballad in A flat. The words and music are by Mrs. Parkhurst, and are wedded in such a manner as to give a charm to both. "You are lying low down in your grave, darling, With the mould creeping over your face, And sadly the green willows wave, darling, And sigh o'er your lone resting place. You left us when summer was throwing O'er earth her bright mantle of flowers; But we know in our hearts you were going To a land that is fairer than ours."
</p><p>WEEP NO MORE FOR LILY.
</p><p>Song and Chorus in E flat. This is a light sparkling melody in the solo, while the chorus is solemn and rich in its harmony. It contains all the elements of popularity. "Lilly of the valley, modest, sweet and mild, Ever pure and lovely was the gentle child; Sunny hair had Lilly, eyes of azure blue, Footstep soft and gentle as the falling dew. Chorus--Weep no more for Lily: Lily's gone above; Angels came and bore her to their land of love."
</p><p>MARY FAY.
</p><p>This is a popular song among the Minstrel bands, and is very fine for a serenade. The chorus is particularly good. Key of B flat. 30 cents each. "Oh! where has she gone, my Mary Fay, My love, my joy, my [pain?]" I would go to the ends of the raging sea To hear her voice again."
</p><p>THE UNION MEDLEY.
</p><p>This is an ingenious combination of all the best patriotic songs of the day, and will be popular. 60 cents.
</p><p>THE TEAR OF LOVE.
</p><p>This is one of Mrs. Parkhurst's happiest efforts, and when sung by a sympathizing voice cannot fail to draw the tears from every eye. It is arranged in A flat, and ranges from E to F above. "Think not thou e'er hast won a heart, And that heart holds these dear, 'Till it shreds for thee, and thee alone, A pure and heartfelt tear; For a smile of love or a spoken word Ne'er yet affection provided: But when we mark the starting tear, Oh! than we are beloved."
</p><p>KATY DID, KATY DIDN'T.
</p><p>This is, as its name indicates, a comic song. It is designed more especially for children, and has elicited shouts of applause wherever it has been sung. It is in the key of D. "Katy did, Katy didn't, Katy did, Katy didn't, Katy did, Katy didn't, Katy didn't She didn't, I know. Katy had an ardent lover, " &c.
</p><p>THIS HAND NEVER STRUCK ME, MOTHER.
</p><p>This song is founded on a very beautiful incident, and cannot fail to be popular throughout the land. It is very simple and touching. Key of C. "Chorus.--Would that every loving sister Could say of her darling brother, Whether he were dead or living, This hand never struck me, mother."
</p><p>THEY DYING DRUMMER.
</p><p>This is a very touching song and chorus and will be a favorite in every household, particularly those made desolate by death upon the battlefield. It is arranged in the key of D. 30 cents each.
</p><p>"Chorus.--Have you come to see your darling Die upon the battlefield, Far from home, so sad and lonely? Have you come your boy to shield?"
</p><p>The following is a list of Mrs. Parkhurst's instrumental compositions:--
</p><p>"Yankee Doodle," with variations, is not difficult, but very brilliant, and has been played by Mrs. Parkhurst with great applause at over one hundred concerts.
</p><p>"Morning Dreams," a collection of popular and [?] varied, and especially designed for teaching purposes, viz: "Away with Melancholy," rather difficult, and a most favorite among good players. "Blue Bells of Scotland," very showy, but not difficult. "Sweet Evelina," another great favorite, and exceedingly brilliant. "They Worked Me All the Day," showy and excellent practice for pupils somewhat advanced. The above pieces are 60 cents each.
</p><p>"Spirit Polka." This is one of the best and most popular polkas ever published. It is excellent for dancing and possesses the charm of never growing old. It is full of melody and easily arranged in A flat.
</p><p>"Summer House of Roses." A Galop very spirited and beautifully arranged. Key of C.
</p><p>"Airy Castles," a Romance. This is one of those charming, silvery pieces, that once heard cannot be forgotten, and will always be a favorite with the young ladies.
</p><p>"The Cloud with a Silver Lining." Another Romance of the same character as the above.
</p><p>"General Scott's Farewell March." As easy march and a fine arrangement for young pupils. 25 cents.
</p><p>"The Sanitary Fair Polka." Composed for the Sanitary Fair, and dedicated to the patrons. This is one of Mrs. Parkhurst's most successful efforts. It is simple, full of melody and exquisite harmony, and fine for dancing. 25 c. The Brooklyn Eagle says:-- "The music is bright, sparkling, attractive and "easily whistled," in other words. It has all the elements of popularity, and will undoubtedly extend the reputation of its accomplished author."
</p><p>"The Tender Glance Schottisch." Fine for dancing, quite easy and very beautiful. 30 cents each.
</p><p>New Music at Mrs. Parkhurst.--We cheerfully call attention to Mrs. Parkhurst's advertisement of new music, which appears in our columns to-day. There are some ten or fifteen compositions in all, many of which are exceedingly meritorious while all are above the average of such works. Mrs. Parkhurst is one of our most prolific native composers, many of her songs being familiar as household words. The fair author has a happy faculty of interblending word and melody, which results in most pleasing and memorable harmony, the benefits in most pleasing and memorable harmony, the benefits of which our readers may share by purchasing the music and studying the composition.--Brooklyn Eagle.
</p><p>VOCAL.
</p><p>THE NEW EMANCIPATION SONG.
</p><p>This is a stirring Song and Chorus, written for the Hutchinsons and sung by them throughout the land. It is well adapted to the times. "If you wish to be commended, Let not Slavery be extended, But its reign quickly ended, In these United States.'
</p><p>THE SOLDIER'S DYING FAREWELL.
</p><p>This is another of Mrs. Parkhurst's latest productions. It has a charming melody, with a chorus beautifully harmonized, and is having a large sale. Chorus--Don't you hear them singing, Mother, Listen to the music's swell, Now I leave thee, loving Mother. God be with you, fare you well.
</p><p>NO SLAVE BENEATH THAT STARRY FLAG.
</p><p>This is one of the best songs of the kind ever written. The words are by the Rev. George Lansing Taylor. It has a fine chorus, and when well sung is calculated to infuse patriotism into the heart of every listener. "No Slave beneath that starry flag, The emblem of the free. No fettered hand, shall wield the brand, That smites for Liberty."
</p><p>DEY SAID WE WOULDN'T FIGHT.
</p><p>A very amusing negro melody, with a fine chorus; It is well adapted to the times. Chorus.--"Hi! hi! boys, we's a gwine home, Hi! ho! now for de fray.
</p><p>LITTLE JOE THE CONTRABAND.
</p><p>Another mirth-provoking negro melody.
</p><p>THERE'S REST FOR ALL IN HEAVEN
</p><p>A very beautiful song and chorus, in the key of E flat. "We still have this sweet solace left, There's rest for all in heaven."
</p><p>COME RALLY, FREEMEN, RALLY.
</p><p>A campaign song and chorus, very finely arranged. One of Mrs. Parkhurst's best "Hurrah, boys, hurrah, we'll work with all our might.
</p><p>THEY TELL ME I'LL FORGET THEE.
</p><p>This is an exquisite ballad, plaintive and touching, and one of the sweetest melodies Mrs. Parkhurst has ever written. It is arranged in A flat. "They tell me I'll forget thee, when 'Mid other scenes I stray, That thoughts of thee will vanish as The dew as break of day."
</p><p>ONLY YOU AND I.
</p><p>A charming little song, lively and very amusing. More especially designed for people in love. "When'er we walk together, love, And no one else is nigh, It seems as if the world was made, For only you and I."
</p><p>I'M WILLING TO WAIT. Or, The Old Maid's Song
</p><p>Another comic song, arranged with a beautiful accompaniment, very amusing. "Twas not such a very long time ago, At least, so it seems to me, Since I was a maiden, just in my teens, As pretty as I could be. But now they call me a poor old maid, And I'll own I'm thirty four, But I'm willing to wait, I'm willing to wait, With patience a year or two more."
</p><p>MY JAMIE'S IN THE BATTLE FIELD.
</p><p>A Scotch ballad, very pretty and taking. "My Jamie's on the battle field, And Oh, I miss my laddie so, My puir lane heart so fu of pain, I wish I had no let him go."
</p><p>OUR DEAR NEW ENGLAND BOYS.
</p><p>A very sweet and touching melody, with beautiful words and an excellent chorus. Key of E flat. Chorus.--Let them rest their work is finished Nothing now their sleep annoys, Angels guard the unbroken slumbers Of our dear New England Boys.
</p><p>The above pieces are 30 cents each, mailed.
</p><p>WERE I BUT HIS OWN WIFE.
</p><p>One of Tom Moore's beautiful songs, set to sweet and appropriate music. A song that will be a favorite. "Were I but his own wife to guide and to guard him, 'Tis little sorrow should fall on my dear. For every kind glance my whole life would reward him, In sickness I'd soothe, and in sadness I'd cheer."
</p><p>THERE ARE VOICES, SPIRIT VOICES.
</p><p>This is one of the best pieces Mrs. Parkhurst has ever written. It is classical in style, yet simply arranged. It has a most beautiful chorus, with an accompaniment in imitation of voices. Chorus.--Spirit voices, hear the echo, They are calling us away, Where the roses never wither, Where the crystal fountains play."
</p><p>A HOME ON THE MOUNTAIN.
</p><p>A dashing spirited song in the key of G. Very brilliant and beautiful. "Let others sigh for a valley home, Where the brook runs murmuring by. I'll build my cot on the mountain's dome, Where it leans to the deep blue sky."
</p><p>DO THEY LOVE ME STILL AS EVER.
</p><p>Song and Chorus in the key of B flat. Very beautiful and becoming very popular. "Do they love me still as ever. In the old familiar way. Do they ne'er forget me, never, Though afar from home I stray."
</p><p>OH, SEND ME ONE FLOWER FROM HIS GRAVE.
</p><p>A very touching and beautiful song, with chorus finely harmonized. It is arranged in the key of A flat. "While the merry birds sing in the low branches near, And above him the green willows wave. Still warm with the sunshine and wet with the dew. Oh, send me one flower from his grave."
</p><p>WAIT, MY LITTLE ONE, WAIT.
</p><p>This is a pathetic little ballad, that touches the heart of every mother who has a little one in heaven. It is simply arranged it the key of A flat. "Wait, my little one, wait. When you get to that beautiful land. Tarry a little my darling one, Ere you join that heavenly land."
</p><p>The above pieces are 30 cents each, mailed.

Although this item only contains one song, the publication originally contained three satirical anti-Copperhead campaign songs: "The Copperhead of 1864, The Chicago Copperhead and The Copperhead of 1865."<br /><br />Comparing them to the venomous snake, Republicans coined the word "Copperhead" in denunciation of those Northern Democrats who opposed the war and favored peace with the South.

"Katy did, Katy didn't, Katy did, Katy didn't, Katy did, Katy didn't, Katy didn't She didn't, I know. Katy had an ardent lover, " &c.
</p><p>THIS HAND NEVER STRUCK ME, MOTHER.
</p><p>This song is founded on a very beautiful incident, and cannot fail to be popular throughout the land. It is very simple and touching. Key of C. "Chorus.--Would that every loving sister Could say of her darling brother, Whether he were dead or living, This hand never struck me, mother."
</p><p>THEY DYING DRUMMER.

</p><p>"Chorus.--Have you come to see your darling Die upon the battlefield, Far from home, so sad and lonely? Have you come your boy to shield?"
</p><p>The following is a list of Mrs. Parkhurst's instrumental compositions:--
</p><p>"Yankee Doodle," with variations, is not difficult, but very brilliant, and has been played by Mrs. Parkhurst with great applause at over one hundred concerts.
</p><p>"Morning Dreams," a collection of popular and [?] varied, and especially designed for teaching purposes, viz: "Away with Melancholy," rather difficult, and a most favorite among good players. "Blue Bells of Scotland," very showy, but not difficult. "Sweet Evelina," another great favorite, and exceedingly brilliant. "They Worked Me All the Day," showy and excellent practice for pupils somewhat advanced. The above pieces are 60 cents each.
</p><p>"Spirit Polka." This is one of the best and most popular polkas ever published. It is excellent for dancing and possesses the charm of never growing old. It is full of melody and easily arranged in A flat.
</p><p>"Summer House of Roses." A Galop very spirited and beautifully arranged. Key of C.
</p><p>"Airy Castles," a Romance. This is one of those charming, silvery pieces, that once heard cannot be forgotten, and will always be a favorite with the young ladies.
</p><p>"The Cloud with a Silver Lining." Another Romance of the same character as the above.
</p><p>"General Scott's Farewell March." As easy march and a fine arrangement for young pupils. 25 cents.
</p><p>"The Sanitary Fair Polka." Composed for the Sanitary Fair, and dedicated to the patrons. This is one of Mrs. Parkhurst's most successful efforts. It is simple, full of melody and exquisite harmony, and fine for dancing. 25 c. The Brooklyn Eagle says:-- "The music is bright, sparkling, attractive and "easily whistled," in other words. It has all the elements of popularity, and will undoubtedly extend the reputation of its accomplished author."
</p><p>"The Tender Glance Schottisch." Fine for dancing, quite easy and very beautiful. 30 cents each.
</p><p>New Music at Mrs. Parkhurst.--We cheerfully call attention to Mrs. Parkhurst's advertisement of new music, which appears in our columns to-day. There are some ten or fifteen compositions in all, many of which are exceedingly meritorious while all are above the average of such works. Mrs. Parkhurst is one of our most prolific native composers, many of her songs being familiar as household words. The fair author has a happy faculty of interblending word and melody, which results in most pleasing and memorable harmony, the benefits in most pleasing and memorable harmony, the benefits of which our readers may share by purchasing the music and studying the composition.--Brooklyn Eagle.
</p><p>VOCAL.
</p><p>THE NEW EMANCIPATION SONG.
</p><p>This is a stirring Song and Chorus, written for the Hutchinsons and sung by them throughout the land. It is well adapted to the times. "If you wish to be commended, Let not Slavery be extended, But its reign quickly ended, In these United States.'
</p><p>THE SOLDIER'S DYING FAREWELL.
</p><p>This is another of Mrs. Parkhurst's latest productions. It has a charming melody, with a chorus beautifully harmonized, and is having a large sale. Chorus--Don't you hear them singing, Mother, Listen to the music's swell, Now I leave thee, loving Mother. God be with you, fare you well.
</p><p>NO SLAVE BENEATH THAT STARRY FLAG.
</p><p>This is one of the best songs of the kind ever written. The words are by the Rev. George Lansing Taylor. It has a fine chorus, and when well sung is calculated to infuse patriotism into the heart of every listener. "No Slave beneath that starry flag, The emblem of the free. No fettered hand, shall wield the brand, That smites for Liberty."
</p><p>DEY SAID WE WOULDN'T FIGHT.
</p><p>A very amusing negro melody, with a fine chorus; It is well adapted to the times. Chorus.--"Hi! hi! boys, we's a gwine home, Hi! ho! now for de fray.
</p><p>LITTLE JOE THE CONTRABAND.
</p><p>Another mirth-provoking negro melody.
</p><p>THERE'S REST FOR ALL IN HEAVEN
</p><p>A very beautiful song and chorus, in the key of E flat. "We still have this sweet solace left, There's rest for all in heaven."
</p><p>COME RALLY, FREEMEN, RALLY.
</p><p>A campaign song and chorus, very finely arranged. One of Mrs. Parkhurst's best "Hurrah, boys, hurrah, we'll work with all our might.
</p><p>THEY TELL ME I'LL FORGET THEE.
</p><p>This is an exquisite ballad, plaintive and touching, and one of the sweetest melodies Mrs. Parkhurst has ever written. It is arranged in A flat. "They tell me I'll forget thee, when 'Mid other scenes I stray, That thoughts of thee will vanish as The dew as break of day."
</p><p>ONLY YOU AND I.
</p><p>A charming little song, lively and very amusing. More especially designed for people in love. "When'er we walk together, love, And no one else is nigh, It seems as if the world was made, For only you and I."
</p><p>I'M WILLING TO WAIT. Or, The Old Maid's Song
</p><p>Another comic song, arranged with a beautiful accompaniment, very amusing. "Twas not such a very long time ago, At least, so it seems to me, Since I was a maiden, just in my teens, As pretty as I could be. But now they call me a poor old maid, And I'll own I'm thirty four, But I'm willing to wait, I'm willing to wait, With patience a year or two more."
</p><p>MY JAMIE'S IN THE BATTLE FIELD.
</p><p>A Scotch ballad, very pretty and taking. "My Jamie's on the battle field, And Oh, I miss my laddie so, My puir lane heart so fu of pain, I wish I had no let him go."
</p><p>OUR DEAR NEW ENGLAND BOYS.
</p><p>A very sweet and touching melody, with beautiful words and an excellent chorus. Key of E flat. Chorus.--Let them rest their work is finished Nothing now their sleep annoys, Angels guard the unbroken slumbers Of our dear New England Boys.
</p><p>The above pieces are 30 cents each, mailed.
</p><p>WERE I BUT HIS OWN WIFE.
</p><p>One of Tom Moore's beautiful songs, set to sweet and appropriate music. A song that will be a favorite. "Were I but his own wife to guide and to guard him, 'Tis little sorrow should fall on my dear. For every kind glance my whole life would reward him, In sickness I'd soothe, and in sadness I'd cheer."
</p><p>THERE ARE VOICES, SPIRIT VOICES.
</p><p>This is one of the best pieces Mrs. Parkhurst has ever written. It is classical in style, yet simply arranged. It has a most beautiful chorus, with an accompaniment in imitation of voices. Chorus.--Spirit voices, hear the echo, They are calling us away, Where the roses never wither, Where the crystal fountains play."
</p><p>A HOME ON THE MOUNTAIN.
</p><p>A dashing spirited song in the key of G. Very brilliant and beautiful. "Let others sigh for a valley home, Where the brook runs murmuring by. I'll build my cot on the mountain's dome, Where it leans to the deep blue sky."
</p><p>DO THEY LOVE ME STILL AS EVER.
</p><p>Song and Chorus in the key of B flat. Very beautiful and becoming very popular. "Do they love me still as ever. In the old familiar way. Do they ne'er forget me, never, Though afar from home I stray."
</p><p>OH, SEND ME ONE FLOWER FROM HIS GRAVE.
</p><p>A very touching and beautiful song, with chorus finely harmonized. It is arranged in the key of A flat. "While the merry birds sing in the low branches near, And above him the green willows wave. Still warm with the sunshine and wet with the dew. Oh, send me one flower from his grave."
</p><p>WAIT, MY LITTLE ONE, WAIT.
</p><p>This is a pathetic little ballad, that touches the heart of every mother who has a little one in heaven. It is simply arranged it the key of A flat. "Wait, my little one, wait. When you get to that beautiful land. Tarry a little my darling one, Ere you join that heavenly land."
</p><p>The above pieces are 30 cents each, mailed.
</p><p>INSTRUMENTAL.
</p><p>The Sigh in the Heart--Waltz sentimental. This is a charming piece of seven pages; brilliant and at the same time very sweet and not too difficult for ordinary players. Price, 40 cents.
</p><p>Starlight Waltz.--A simple waltz, very pretty and designed more especially for players not very far advanced. Good time for dancing.
</p><p>On to Richmond Galop.--A brilliant, spirited gallop, not very difficulty, and one that cannot fail to be popular. Price, 30 cents each, mailed.--
</p><p>THE SUNNYSIDE SET.
</p><p>A set of easy pieces arranged from popular airs, especially for young beginners:--"Three Rogueish Chaps," (Polka); "My Country," (March); "Sunny Side Rondo"; "Little Bird Waltz"; "Brave McClellan," (March); "What they do at the Springs," (Waltz); "They worked me all the day," (Polka); "There's no such girl as mine," (Gallop); "Was my brother in the battle," (March); "Shall we know each other there," (Rondo); "Little Ella's an Angel," (Quickstep); "Leave me with my mother," (M'rch); "Weep no more for Lilly," (March); "Why have my loved ones gone," (Schottische); "The Volunteer Polka"; "Cannon Gallop"; "Morning Dew," (Schottische); "Little Jenny Dow," (Polka); "Sweet Evelina," (Waltz); "When this dreadful war is ended," (Polka); "Merry little birds are we, (Polka); "There are plenty of fish in the sea," (Quickstep); "Norah Dearest," (March); "The Evacuation," (Dance); "Farmer Stubbs," (Dance); "Sweet little Nell," (Waltz).

<p>The Copperhead of 1864, The Chicago Copperhead, and The Copperhead of 1865.
</p><p>By James G. Clark.
</p><p>New York:
</p><p>Published by Horace Waters, 481 Broadway

<p>The Copperhead of 1864.
</p><p>Words by John Holland. Music by James G. Clark.
</p><p>1. Ther is a snake that haunts the grass, Des-pised by all men, white and red, Trod
'neath the hoofs of ox and ass- The glist-'ning, ven-omous copper-head. Through
out three sea-sons of the year, The rat-tle-snake him-self hath fled; But
when the ex-tra month ap-pear, His sut-ler is the copper-head-
</p><p>2. 'Tis said that ev-ery creep-ing thing Has got some use-ful task a-head; But
yet the bards have fail'd to sing One vir-tue in the copper-head, The
an-cient snake in E-den's bowers From flow-'ry paths our pa-rents led; Ex -
pe-rience in this age of ours Comes down up-on the copper-head-
</p><p>3. But, glo-ry be to Is-rael's God! The Un-ion bird its wings has spread, Whose
beak and claws shall rid the sod Of ev-'ry crawl-ing copper-head, The
rat-tle-snake and cop-per-head Shall ne'er coil up fair Free-dom's bed; The
Un-ion pole pokes ev-'ry hole That can co-tain a copper-head
</p><p>Chorus
</p><p>Air
</p><p>Oh!.................. The twist-ing, wrigg-ling cop-perhead; The glist-'ning ven-omous
copperhead; The man of sense can fix the tense In which to kill the cop-per-head.
</p><p>Alto
</p><p>Oh!.................. The wal-lowing, spong-ing cop-perhead; The hiss-ing, spitt-ing
copperhead From Un-ion hands it eats its bread, And bites for thanks the cop-per-head
</p><p>Tenor
</p><p>Oh!.................. A-las, a-las, the cop-erhead! The Un-ion stone has
smashed its Head! We'll stuff its skin for men to grin At what was once a cop-per-head!

An account of the resource
Although this item only contains one song, the publication originally contained three satirical anti-Copperhead campaign songs: "The Copperhead of 1864, The Chicago Copperhead and The Copperhead of 1865."<br /><br />Comparing them to the venomous snake, Republicans coined the word "Copperhead" in denunciation of those Northern Democrats who opposed the war and favored peace with the South.

<p>Some of the Last Songs of the Late Stephen C. Foster, Who died January 13th, 1864. HORACE WATERS PUBLISHER, 481 BROADWAY, NEW YORK.
</p><p>WHY HAVE MY LOVED ONES GONE?
</p><p>SONG AND CHORUS. This is a simple and touching melody, easily arranged, in the key of B flat. "Why have my loved ones gone? gone to return no more: Calmly gliding o'er a summer sea, Whilst I'm left plodding on the shore!"
</p><p>A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS.
</p><p>A charming ballad, in the key of C, simple and humorous. "A penny for your thoughts, For I know that you are dreaming; Love's little fickle darts are sporting with your brain. A penny for your thoughts: Thro' those eyes your heart is gleaming, Longing to welcome back the starry night again."
</p><p>JENNY'S COMING O'ER THE GREEN.
</p><p>A companion to the above. Key of E. flat. "Jenny's coming o'er the green; Fairer form was never seen; Winning is her gentle mein. Why do I love her so?"
</p><p>A DREAM OF MY MOTHER
</p><p>This is one of Foster's best compositions, very sweet and touching. It is arranged in the key of D. "My mother and my home, Ah! what pleasant words to me! They light up my drooping heart, Wherever I may be."
</p><p>MERRY LITTLE BIRDS ARE WE.
</p><p>A beautiful little song for children, and very easy. Arranged in the key of D. "The summer's coming on, And we warble in the tree, The wint'ry blasts have gone. Oh! what merry birds are we!"
</p><p>SLUMBER, MY DARLING.
</p><p>A sweet little cradle song, very pretty. Arranged in E flat. "Slumber, my darling; your mother is near, Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear. sunlight has past and the twilight has gone, Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on."
</p><p>OH! THERE'S NO SUCH GIRL AS MINE!
</p><p>This is one of Foster's best comic songs, and is becoming popular. It is in the key of C. "Oh! there's no such girl as mine In all this wide world round, With her hair of gold so fine, And her voice of silver sound. Her eyes are as black as the sloe, Her lips in a small combine, Her breath is as pure as the snow. There no such girl as mine."
</p><p>WHEN THIS DREADFUL WAR IS ENDED.
</p><p>A patriotic ballad, and one that is deservedly popular. In the key of D. "When this dreadful war is ended, I will come again to thee. Tell me, dearest, ere we sever, Tell me, tell me you'll be true."
</p><p>WILT THOU BE TRUE?
</p><p>Another in the same style as the above, and a fitting companion for it. This is in B flat, and ranges from F to F. "Wilt thou be true, dearest, to me, Though I may wander far off from thee? Over my heart no gloom will come If thou art faithful wherever I roam."
</p><p>I WILL BE TRUE TO THEE.
</p><p>This is a very sweet and charming ballad, arranged in E flat, artistic, yet simple. "I will be true to thee, Though I share in thy worst despair. I will be true to thee, Though my own heart be bowed with care."
</p><p>MR. AND MRS. BROWN.
</p><p>A comic duet in the key of C. This is one of Foster's best compositions of the kind. "Mrs. Brown--so, Mr. Brown, You've come at last; I'm sure it's after two. Mr. Brown--Dear Mistress Brown, your clock is fast, I know as well as you."
</p><p>MY WIFE IS THE MOST KNOWING WOMAN.
</p><p>A humorous ballad, in E flat. "My wife is a most knowing woman; She always is finding me out; She never will hear explanations, But instantly puts me to rout."
</p><p>LITTLE JENNY DOW.
</p><p>An exquisite little ballad, in the key of A. "Little Jenny Dow lives beyond the mill, Her merry voice is heard all around, Her happy smiles are seen on the green-clad hill, Where'er the budding flowers are found."
</p><p>LIZZIE DIES TO-NIGHT.
</p><p>This is one of the most popular of Foster's ballads. It is a pure, sweet melody, and being founded upon an interesting incident, has a double charm. It is arranged easily in the key of D. "'Twas hard, our parting, Mother dear, It gave you untold pain; But hope was strong within our hearts, That we should meet again."
</p><p>BETTER TIMES ARE COMING.
</p><p>This is a stirring song and chorus, and well calculated to rouse the patriotic fire in every heart. It is in the key of C, and ranges from E to E. "There are voices of hope that are borne on the air, And our land will be freed from its clouds of despair For brave men and true men to battle are gone, And good times, good times are now coming on."
</p><p>WAS MY BROTHER IN THE BATTLE?
</p><p>Another of Foster's good patriotic ballads, simple but pleasing. Key of F, and ranges from F to F. "Tell me, tell me, weary soldier, From the rude and stirring wars, Was my brother in the battle Where you gained those noble scars?"
</p><p><br />
THE LOVE I BEAR TO THEE.
</p><p>Both the words and music of this song are far superior to most ballads of the kind. It is artistic in style, but easy of execution. Key of B flat. "At midnight hour, when all alone, I often sit and think of thee, And wish that like a star I shone With brightness in thy memory."
</p><p>THERE ARE PLENTY OF FISH IN THE SEA.
</p><p>This is, as its title indicates, a humorous ballad, and fast becoming popular. Arranged in C, and has a gliding and easy movement. "A lady tossed her curls At all who came to woo; She laughed to scorn the vows From hearts though false or true."
</p><p>OH! WHY AM I SO HAPPY?
</p><p>Foster has a peculiar faculty of adapting music to words, and he never succeeded better than in this song. It is in [?], and is truly beautiful. "Oh! why am I so happy? Why these feelings of delight? And why does gladness cheer me? Why everything so bright!"
</p><p>IF YOU'VE ONLY GOT A MOUSTACHE.
</p><p>This is a comic song, in every sense of the word. Key of D, and prettily arranged. "Oh! all of you poor single men, Don't ever give up in despair; For there's always a chance while there's life, To capture the hearts of the fair."
</p><p>BURY ME IN THE MORNING MOTHER.
</p><p>A sweet and touching ballad, in the key of F, very easy. "Bury me in the morning, And mourn not at my loss; For I'll join the beautiful army That carries the Saviour's Cross."
</p><p>LEAVE ME WITH MY MOTHER.
</p><p>A charming little song, equal in beauty to the above. "Leave me with my mother, for I love her more, Far more, far more than you know."
</p><p>WHEN OLD FRIENDS WERE HERE.
</p><p>This is the last but one of Mr. Foster's compositions, written a few weeks before his death. It is very beautiful and touching. It is in B flat. "When old friends were here, In days that are flown, How fond were the hands Which oft clasped my own. The pathways of life Were pleasure's sunny hue, And voices were near, With tones warm and true."
</p><p>SHE WAS ALL THE WORLD TO ME.
</p><p>This is the last song ever written by this popular composer, and is doubly valuable on this account. It is arranged in E flat. "In the sad and mournful autumn, With the falling of the leaf, Death, the reaper, claimed our loved one, As the husbandman the sheaf. Cold and dark the day we laid her 'Neath the sighing cypress tree; For tho' nothing to another, She was all the world to me."
</p><p>The above Songs are 30 cents each, mailed free.
</p><p>The ATHENAEUM COLLECTION OF HYMNS AND TUNES FOR CHOIR, CHURCH AND SUNDAY-SCHOOL, IS NOW READY.--It contains 512 pages, and nearly 700 Hymns and Tunes, such as "Rest for the Weary," "Shining Shore," "Eden Above," "Shall we know each other there?" &c.

</p><p>THE LATE STEPHEN C. FOSTER. HIS MUSICAL CAREER--THE FUNERAL CEREMONIES.
</p><p>On the tomb of Donizetti, in the cathedral at Bergamo, is a modest inscription, saying that the dead composer was "a finder of many melodies." The simple record--too unpretending for the merits of the Italian composer--will be peculiarly applicable to the late STEPHEN C. FOSTER, the song-writer, who died, on the 13th instant, in this city.
</p><p>Mr. Foster was born in Pittsburg, July 4, 1826, the same day on which Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died. His father was a well-to-do farmer, and laid out on his property a town, which he intended to call Fosterville, "Soon afterwards," says Mr. Charles McKnight, of the Pittsburg Evening Chronicle, in his interesting biographical notice of the late song-writer, "the gallant Captain Lawrence was killed, fighting his ship, the Chesapeake, and Mr. Foster patriotically changed the name of his town to Lawrenceville, adopting as the motto on the corporation seal the dying words of Lawrence, "Don't give up the ship."
</p><p>When seven years old, young Stephen Foster showed enough musical precocity to learn, unaided, the flagcolet; and later, he played other instruments, though, like most composers, he was never eminent as a performer. Like Moore, he was fond of singing his own songs, and when he accompanied himself on the piano or guitar, there was a charming and plaintive sadness in his voice which touched the hearts of his listeners.
</p><p>His melodies are so sweet, so simple, so unpretending, that new people supposed that he had studied music scientifically, and was familiar with the more classical works of Mozart, Beethoven and Weber. He, also, was a man of considerable versatility in other branches. He understood French and German, painted in water colors, was a good accountant, and wrote most of the words as well as the music of his songs. These words were in style almost identical with his melodies--sweet, simple, and no worse in rhyme or rhythm than the majority of popular lyrics.
</p><p>George Willig, the Baltimore music publisher, published his first song in 1812. It was called "Open thy lattice, love," and was followed by "Old Uncle Ned" and "Oh! Susanna," which were issued by Peters of Cincinnati. Then appeared "Louisiana Belle," "Nelly was a Lady," "Camptown Races," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground, "Nelly Bly," "Oh, Boys, carry me 'long," "Old Folks at Home," and others. With these Foster established his reputation as a writer of negro minstrelsy, and at the same time made considerable money, his New York publishers, Firth, Pond & Co., paying him over $15,000 on "Old Folks at Home" alone--the most profitable piece of music ever published in this city. E.P. Christy paid Foster five hundred dollars for the privilege of having his name printed on one edition of this song.
</p><p>During the past ten years Foster's compositions were of a more sentimental and refined character. He dropped the burlesque negro words and wrote and composed such songs as "Willie, we have missed you," "Ellen Bayne," "Maggie by my Side," "Come where my love lies dreaming," "Little Ella," "Jennie with the light brown Hair," "Willie my brave," "Farewell, my little dear," "Oh, comrades, fill no glass for me," "Old Dog Tray," "Mollie, do you love me?" "Summer Breath," "Ah, may the red rose live always," "Come with thy sweet voice again," "I see her still in my dreams, etc.
</p><p>The following, all published by HORACE WATERS, are among his latest productions: "Why have my Loved ones Gone, I will be true to thee, Was my Brother in the Battle, Wilt thou be True, The Love I bear to Thee, A Dream of my Mother, Merry little Birds are we, Oh! there's no such Girl as mine, Oh! why am I so Happy, Slumber, my Darling, 'Lizzie dies to-night, Better Times are Coming, A Penny for your Thoughts, When this Dreadful War is ended, When Old Friends were here, and She was all the World to me, which is his last composition.
</p><p>The ANTHENAEUM COLLECTION, a new book for Church and Sunday School, published by Horace Waters, also contains all the following pieces, written expressly for this work by Mr. Foster.
</p>
<pre>"While we work for the Lord, The Beautiful Shore, There is a Land of Love, Oh! 'tis Glorious, Tears brings Thoughts of Heaven, Willie's gone to Heaven, Suffer Little Children to come unto me, Bury me in the morning, Mother, Leave me with my Mother, He Leadeth me beside still Waters, Give us this day our daily Bread, Seek and ye shall find, We'll all meet our Saviour, We'll still keep marching on, The Angels are singing unto me, The Pure, the Bright, the Beautiful, Tell me of the Angels, Mother, What shall the Harvest be, Don't be Idle, Happy little ones are we, Music everywhere, that's why I love it so, Stand up for the Truth, Over the River, The Bright Hills of Glory," etc.
</pre>
<p>His later works exhibit greater grace and tenderness than his earlier ones; and had he lived, and taken proper care of his health, he might have obtained the most enviable eminence as a musician. As it is, he had the blessed, heaven-sent gift of melody, and his compositions, if not his name, are known all over the world. Russians, Italians, Germans, French, and even Egyptian and Chinese, have heard and admired those sweet strains which made Stephen C. Foster pre-eminently the ballad writer of America. We hope his publishers will make a collection--if not of all--of his best songs and choruses, and publish them in some enduring form; for their popularity will not die with the man whose genial imagination gave them birth.
</p><p>Mr. Foster--who for the past three years had lived in this city--was buried at Pittsburg. The Evening Chronicle of that city says of his farewell:
</p><p>"His death took place on the 13th instant, in New York city. With praiseworthy state-pride, the President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company gave orders that his remains and the party in charge of them, should be passed over the road free of charge. The Adams Express Company also declined to take any pay for conveying his remains from New York to Harrisburg.
</p><p>"As stated in the previous notice given of the deceased, he married a daughter of the late Dr. McDowell, who, with an interesting daughter of twelve years survives him. Some of his friends here, and other lovers of music, who acknowledge his numerous and valuable contributions to musical science and literature, have united in having impressive and appropriate ceremonies at his funeral. At Trinity Church the exercises were vocal, led by Mr. Kleber; at the grave they were instrumental, some of Mr. Foster's most popular airs having been introduced. Mr. Foster has won a fame which is undying. His influence extends over every land where there are voices to hymn forth sweet notes and bearers to be moved by them." N.Y. Evening Post.

Although this item only contains one song, the publication originally contained three satirical anti-Copperhead campaign songs: "The Copperhead of 1864, The Chicago Copperhead and The Copperhead of 1865."<br /><br />Comparing them to the venomous snake, Republicans coined the word "Copperhead" in denunciation of those Northern Democrats who opposed the war and favored peace with the South.

<p>Some of the Last Songs of the Late Stephen C. Foster, Who died January 13th, 1864. HORACE WATERS PUBLISHER, 481 BROADWAY, NEW YORK.
</p><p>WHY HAVE MY LOVED ONES GONE?
</p><p>SONG AND CHORUS. This is a simple and touching melody, easily arranged, in the key of B flat. "Why have my loved ones gone? gone to return no more: Calmly gliding o'er a summer sea, Whilst I'm left plodding on the shore!"
</p><p>A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS.
</p><p>A charming ballad, in the key of C, simple and humorous. "A penny for your thoughts, For I know that you are dreaming; Love's little fickle darts are sporting with your brain. A penny for your thoughts: Thro' those eyes your heart is gleaming, Longing to welcome back the starry night again."
</p><p>JENNY'S COMING O'ER THE GREEN.
</p><p>A companion to the above. Key of E. flat. "Jenny's coming o'er the green; Fairer form was never seen; Winning is her gentle mein. Why do I love her so?"
</p><p>A DREAM OF MY MOTHER
</p><p>This is one of Foster's best compositions, very sweet and touching. It is arranged in the key of D. "My mother and my home, Ah! what pleasant words to me! They light up my drooping heart, Wherever I may be."
</p><p>MERRY LITTLE BIRDS ARE WE.
</p><p>A beautiful little song for children, and very easy. Arranged in the key of D. "The summer's coming on, And we warble in the tree, The wint'ry blasts have gone. Oh! what merry birds are we!"
</p><p>SLUMBER, MY DARLING.
</p><p>A sweet little cradle song, very pretty. Arranged in E flat. "Slumber, my darling; your mother is near, Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear. sunlight has past and the twilight has gone, Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on."
</p><p>OH! THERE'S NO SUCH GIRL AS MINE!
</p><p>This is one of Foster's best comic songs, and is becoming popular. It is in the key of C. "Oh! there's no such girl as mine In all this wide world round, With her hair of gold so fine, And her voice of silver sound. Her eyes are as black as the sloe, Her lips in a small combine, Her breath is as pure as the snow. There no such girl as mine."
</p><p>WHEN THIS DREADFUL WAR IS ENDED.
</p><p>A patriotic ballad, and one that is deservedly popular. In the key of D. "When this dreadful war is ended, I will come again to thee. Tell me, dearest, ere we sever, Tell me, tell me you'll be true."
</p><p>WILT THOU BE TRUE?
</p><p>Another in the same style as the above, and a fitting companion for it. This is in B flat, and ranges from F to F. "Wilt thou be true, dearest, to me, Though I may wander far off from thee? Over my heart no gloom will come If thou art faithful wherever I roam."
</p><p>I WILL BE TRUE TO THEE.
</p><p>This is a very sweet and charming ballad, arranged in E flat, artistic, yet simple. "I will be true to thee, Though I share in thy worst despair. I will be true to thee, Though my own heart be bowed with care."
</p><p>MR. AND MRS. BROWN.
</p><p>A comic duet in the key of C. This is one of Foster's best compositions of the kind. "Mrs. Brown--so, Mr. Brown, You've come at last; I'm sure it's after two. Mr. Brown--Dear Mistress Brown, your clock is fast, I know as well as you."
</p><p>MY WIFE IS THE MOST KNOWING WOMAN.
</p><p>A humorous ballad, in E flat. "My wife is a most knowing woman; She always is finding me out; She never will hear explanations, But instantly puts me to rout."
</p><p>LITTLE JENNY DOW.
</p><p>An exquisite little ballad, in the key of A. "Little Jenny Dow lives beyond the mill, Her merry voice is heard all around, Her happy smiles are seen on the green-clad hill, Where'er the budding flowers are found."
</p><p>LIZZIE DIES TO-NIGHT.
</p><p>This is one of the most popular of Foster's ballads. It is a pure, sweet melody, and being founded upon an interesting incident, has a double charm. It is arranged easily in the key of D. "'Twas hard, our parting, Mother dear, It gave you untold pain; But hope was strong within our hearts, That we should meet again."
</p><p>BETTER TIMES ARE COMING.
</p><p>This is a stirring song and chorus, and well calculated to rouse the patriotic fire in every heart. It is in the key of C, and ranges from E to E. "There are voices of hope that are borne on the air, And our land will be freed from its clouds of despair For brave men and true men to battle are gone, And good times, good times are now coming on."
</p><p>WAS MY BROTHER IN THE BATTLE?
</p><p>Another of Foster's good patriotic ballads, simple but pleasing. Key of F, and ranges from F to F. "Tell me, tell me, weary soldier, From the rude and stirring wars, Was my brother in the battle Where you gained those noble scars?"
</p><p><br />
THE LOVE I BEAR TO THEE.
</p><p>Both the words and music of this song are far superior to most ballads of the kind. It is artistic in style, but easy of execution. Key of B flat. "At midnight hour, when all alone, I often sit and think of thee, And wish that like a star I shone With brightness in thy memory."
</p><p>THERE ARE PLENTY OF FISH IN THE SEA.
</p><p>This is, as its title indicates, a humorous ballad, and fast becoming popular. Arranged in C, and has a gliding and easy movement. "A lady tossed her curls At all who came to woo; She laughed to scorn the vows From hearts though false or true."
</p><p>OH! WHY AM I SO HAPPY?
</p><p>Foster has a peculiar faculty of adapting music to words, and he never succeeded better than in this song. It is in [?], and is truly beautiful. "Oh! why am I so happy? Why these feelings of delight? And why does gladness cheer me? Why everything so bright!"
</p><p>IF YOU'VE ONLY GOT A MOUSTACHE.
</p><p>This is a comic song, in every sense of the word. Key of D, and prettily arranged. "Oh! all of you poor single men, Don't ever give up in despair; For there's always a chance while there's life, To capture the hearts of the fair."
</p><p>BURY ME IN THE MORNING MOTHER.
</p><p>A sweet and touching ballad, in the key of F, very easy. "Bury me in the morning, And mourn not at my loss; For I'll join the beautiful army That carries the Saviour's Cross."
</p><p>LEAVE ME WITH MY MOTHER.
</p><p>A charming little song, equal in beauty to the above. "Leave me with my mother, for I love her more, Far more, far more than you know."
</p><p>WHEN OLD FRIENDS WERE HERE.
</p><p>This is the last but one of Mr. Foster's compositions, written a few weeks before his death. It is very beautiful and touching. It is in B flat. "When old friends were here, In days that are flown, How fond were the hands Which oft clasped my own. The pathways of life Were pleasure's sunny hue, And voices were near, With tones warm and true."
</p><p>SHE WAS ALL THE WORLD TO ME.
</p><p>This is the last song ever written by this popular composer, and is doubly valuable on this account. It is arranged in E flat. "In the sad and mournful autumn, With the falling of the leaf, Death, the reaper, claimed our loved one, As the husbandman the sheaf. Cold and dark the day we laid her 'Neath the sighing cypress tree; For tho' nothing to another, She was all the world to me."
</p><p>The above Songs are 30 cents each, mailed free.
</p><p>The ATHENAEUM COLLECTION OF HYMNS AND TUNES FOR CHOIR, CHURCH AND SUNDAY-SCHOOL, IS NOW READY.--It contains 512 pages, and nearly 700 Hymns and Tunes, such as "Rest for the Weary," "Shining Shore," "Eden Above," "Shall we know each other there?" &c.
