From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. | Among all the varieties of poetry which have, | tickled the ears of mankind, none has had so | immediate or so enduring an influence as the mn. The hymns of pagan worship are mong the best relics of antiquity, and those of Christianity are better known than any other | species of composition, The reason of the in- | fluence of the hymn fs not, at first glance, plainly evident, but is to be unearthed by a littie effort. A hymn is the expression of some religious emotion, keenly felt at the moment and therefore told in such glowing “hp Aca > woolen stockings, even it | Words as to command attention from its lan- ~spser mabe eens ae nes, even It | fuaze, even if the thought be left entirely out the feet are en’ orn out, or are so thin 88 | Orthe ‘que A particular hymn will thus to warrant no m ng; the legs © | commend itself to those who at any time expe- best kin 3 | rience that emotion; and aa all devout people, od.

A better expression of these Js found in a well-written hymn than the | average individual ean usually command, and t ore the hymn becomes Immediately or pet- | manently popular, as they are adapted to the ing emetion of the moment, and perma- ras they express an abiding f¢ if human heart. Revival hymns such as we have lately had a | surfeit of in such books as those compiled by | Moody and Sankey and their fellows, seldom have mere than a few montis’ lease of life, jand usually pass away with the excitement that gave them birth, while the standard hymns of the chureh, which show forth a permanent | feeling, will, in one form or another, last as long hurch itself. But much fs added to the wledge of the circumstances under which | they were written. The Hebrews understood this very well, and were careful. to preserve, in one ‘way or another. the history of their hymns. Thus we are told in a single line | that the 9th Psalm was Moses’ prayer in the | wilderness after the sin of the people; that the | 8th Psalm was written by David early in life: that the, 45th celebrated the glorious reign of Jehoshaphat, and the 107th the Feast ot Taber- ni as in the ca: ) | cat of Mary, still use the Catholic church. 1 English hymns, the hi: | Served with such care, but & little search in reli- gious biography develops many curious facts, not the least being the miaber of hymns, There are probably about 15,000 in the various hymn- books in use in Prot churches, and in 1861 there was published a catalogue of 618 authors who are represented in these books by one or | more hyrans each. Ascriptions of Praise. The most inspiring hymna in our Janguage is probably “ALL HAIL THE POWER OF vs’ NAME.” It was written by Perronet, who was also the author of one of the keenest satires ever writ- ten against the Church of England. He was an Intimate of Charles Wesley, and was appointed as a pastor under the auspices of the Countess of Huntingdon, a pious lady those days. But he fell under her disp! by reason of his incurable dislike to the Established Church, and was oblized to resi He knew resizna- | tion meant poverty and almost starvation for | him and but did not hesitate, ana under | these unk ircumstances, ' when the | future looked darkest, sat down and wrote the | trimphant hymn which has made him immortal. The famous doxology, “Praise GOD.” was written more than two hundred years ago | by Thomas Kenn, afterwards Bishop. He was | Chap! to Charlies II., and singularly fearless | in the discharge of his duties, openly and boldly reproving the King for his vices and follies | whenever a reproof was necessary: To the | honor of the King, no offense was ever taken at these unceremonions scoldings, and, indeed, Charles ave highly esteemed him and made him Whi | ited Winch mistr | from being an: is given in full, and the Masnifi- per service of of our modern 3 not been pre- en the court once yis- into his house, and, so far . the King only laughed at the and ordered that other lodg: her. Kenn was one of the whose trial did so much to break down the royal authority of James II., but strangely ving done all he could to exile a Catholic Prince, he retused to swear conformity when required to do so by William | of Orange, was deprived of his see, and died in | poverty. ‘The “Doxok ‘as composed for | the use of students at Winchester College, and was originally appended to each of two hymns, amorning and an evening hymn or prayer. It hus had a humble origin, but a mighty destiny, | for, like the roll of the British drum, it has fol- lowed the sun round the world wherever Eng- lishmen have gone or the English language has | been spoken. The well-known hymn, “4 MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GoD,” is only a translation of Luther's famous hymn “Eine Feste Burg is Unser Gott.” Luther wrote it In the year of the Diet of Spires, and it is believed after the German Princes had made | the well-known “Protest,” which gave a name to all dissenters from the Church of Rome. | Thus the Doxolozy reminds us of the most crit- ical period in English politics, and the Luthe- | ran hymn of the greatest revolution Germany ever experienced. It is a little singalar that while psalmody now looks back to the Wesleys as among its leading authors, one of the best hymns of the | chureh was written by a man who seems to | have detested their very name, who contro- verted their doctrines by every means in his | power, and who, if he had been allowed his way, would probably have sent them and their | followers to the nearest jail. The writer of “ROCK OF A was Toplady, who was a minister of the Church of England. He was a Calvinist of the most ultra type, and when engaged in controversy with the Wesleys and others, as he always was, used languaze that one would hardly employ in abi za pickpocket. He was extremely intol- jerant and could see no good whatever in the | Wesleyan movement, but regarded it as a sort of | spiritual riot or pious insurrection against the established authorities. His controversial works are bitter even for that age, and would be re- | garded as detestable now, but he thought he was rignt and gave the early Methodists much | trouble. His hymn, however, is a model of ita | kind, and has been translated into every lan- | guage of Europe, into Turkish, Arabic, Persian, into several of the Hindoo dialects, into Japan- | ese and Chinese, and one or two of the African languazes. Gladstone, the present Premier of land, made a Latin version that some years | ago was much admired. The lines beginning: “GUIDE ME, © THOU GREAT JEHOVAH,” were written by a Welsh preacher named Wil- liams, shortly betore beginning a missionary tour Into Wales. This hymn became popular in | America before it did in England, being first published in a hymn book for the use of White- | fleld’s societies in the Carolinas and Georgia. | As it now stands the hymn is a translation trom the original Welsh. Williams spoke that lan- guage as his native tongue, and wrote the hymn for the use of his fellow-countrymen. It Is un- certain by whom it was translated, but as soon as it appeared it became popular and has ever since continued so. “BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS” |was the production of « Baptist clergyman | Mamed Faweett. It was written about 173. He | was preparing to leave a society he had served | for many years In order to accept a call to an- other church. His people gathered round him and, with tears, besought him not togo. He resisted for atime, but was finally overcome and said: ‘Unpack these boxes, we will live to- gether” The night after the incident he wrote the hymn, which is extremely popular, particu- larly with the Baptist denomination, to this day. FROM “‘GREENLAND’S ICY MOUNTAINS.” This hymn ts @ standing Illustration of the ease with which immortality is sometimes se- cured. Bishop Heber, the“ author, would have been completely forgotten had not an accident produced this famous missionary song, which was written for temporary use, but has gone wherever the English language Is spo! le- ber was visiting his father-in-law, and the latter one Saturday atternoon desired him to wnite a few lines for the choir to sing next day, as he was going to preach on the subject of missiens. Heber went to a table, and in a few minutes produced the hymn as we now have it. It was printed on slips the same afternoon, and sung the next day and ever since. | wrath of the lad be found n_ Bishop: of even. the better class of hymns by a | his life a burden, He could bear no society, but, in quiet seclusion, was accustomed to medi- tate on the awiul problems constantly presented by his religious tendency of mind. The famous hymn, . “GOD MOVES IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY,” 1s believed to be the last he ever wrote. It was written in the twilight of departing reason, as the shadows of madness were settling around him for the last time, and when the pathos of its orfgin is remembered it is im; le to re- sist emotion in reading It. The lines, “I LOVE TO STEAL AWHILE AWAY,” were from the pen of a Mrs. Brown, of New York, She was fond of refiring to pray in a grove near her house, but was once deeply wounded at having her action cr-:ticised by a neighbor, and wrote the hymn as a sort of vin- dication. As it orignally appeared the second line read: ‘From children and from care.” We | have one English hymn, “Q THOU, MY SOUL, FORGET NO MORE,” | which was the composition of a Hindoo named Krishnu-Pal. He was Dr. Carey's first convert in Hindostan, and his abandonment of caste caused an immense sensation. The effort was | made by other Hindoos to mob him, and he was | drazzed before a native magistrate, but was re- leased tor want of a definite charge. He was baptized in the Ganges in the presence of thousands of Europeans and natives, a body of English troops being drawn up In line to pre- vent disturbance. Subsequently becoming an active missionary worker he published a num- ber of tracts and hymns, many of which were translated into English, and excited favorable comment. De Profundis, As certain flowers and plants send forth their | sweetest fragrance only when bruised and broken, so certain Christian spirits: are most devout in the midst of adverse circumstances. They really cry from the depths with confidence that their prayer will be heard. Not unfre- quently has it been the case that people who seemed unfortunate are really most useful. Collins and Cowper both struggled with in- sanity all their days. Milton was blind, and other Instances are so numerous as to defy men- tion. A notable case of the kind was Mrs. Steele, the author of the celebrated hymn, “FATHER, WHATE'ER OF EARTHLY BLISS.” In childhood she received a spinal injury which made her a life-long invalid. Later in life she was engaged to be married, and all preparations had been made, the bridegroom being momen- tarily expected, when news arrived of his sud- den and violent death. Her life was henceforth given up to works of piety, and she wrote many hymns which were deservedly popular. The hymn, “JESUS, AND SHALL IT EVER BE,” was written by a ten-year old boy, named Grigg. It has since been much polished and greatly im- proved by additions and revision. “COME, HOLY SPIRIT, HEAVENLY DOVE,” has aroyal origin. It was the production of Robert Li. of France, at a time when the affairs of his kingdom were involved in much confu- sion. Robert was deeply pious, and extremely fond of church muste, so much so that he would often go to the Church of St. Dents and conduct the music in person, baton in hand, greatly to the admiration of his courtiers and the edifica- tion of the zodly. His hymn was written about the year 1000, and has been translated into every language in Europe. His life and reign were very unhappy, his gentle nature rendering him unt to cope with his able and unscrupulous exemies, who even embittered his own sons against iim, and finally induced them to break out into open rebellion. Asa king he was nota success, but his hymn is a legacy which the re- ligious world, even at this day, would be loth to surrender. * WMistorical Hymns. The period of strife known in German his- tary as the “Thirty Years’ War” was productive of a large number of very fine hymns, but none superior to that beginning “FEAR NOT, 0 LITTLE FLOCK.” It was known as the “Battle Song of Gus- tavus,” and was always sung by his army as | they moved forward to battle. The descriptions of his battles read much like those given by Puritan historians of the days when the Iron- sides charged the royal cavalry, singing the while at the top of their voices a psalm of David. ‘The celebrated hymn “MY GOD, I LOVE THRE,” claims St. Francis Xavier as its author. It was originally in Latin, but is now in every lan- guage, and loved wherever It is sung. Francis Xavier was one of the most noted Jesuits who ever lived, his life being spent in the service of the church. He died in China in 1552, only sixty years after the discovery of America. The Christian world owes almost as much to Thomas @ Kempis for his hymns as for his “Following of Christ.” His life was passed in such quiet seclu- sion that few facts are certain, but we do know that his family name was Hammerlein, or Little Hammer. This was translated into Latin by its equivalent Malleolus,-and in religion he took the name by which he Is now known. His rell- gious works are voluminous, but he is now re- membered chiefly by the one already mentioned, and the hymn “High the Angel Choirs are Rais. ing.” Sir Walter Raleigh is not often thought of as a hymn-writer, but hewrote several hymns which are now no longer used. They seem to have fallen into disrepute from their lack of de- votional sentiment, though they are elegantly writen: and must in their time ‘have been pop- lar. “COMMIT THOU ALL THY GRIEFS,” has received an honor accorded to few such pro- ductions in having been the favorite hymn of the German poet Schiller. It was written by Gerhardt,the much-persecuted Lutheran preach- er. He had been ordered to quit his native country on account of his religious opinions, and on foot, carryjng all his worldly goods on his back, with his wite trudging after him, he set out, not knowing where he could find a refuge. On the Journey they came in the eyen- ing to an inn, but not having the money to pay for thelr l6dging, were refused admission. The woman, in despair, sat down by the roadside and began to weep. Her husband tried to com- fort her. *‘God will provide,” said he. “Com- mit all your sorrows into his hand.” Just then acouple of armed and mounted strangers aj proadid’ ‘and asked if his name was Gerhardt. the poor preacher, not kuowing what new trial Was in store’ for hit, answered that it was, when they told him they,tiad been sent by Duke Christian to ‘invite him'to come to Merseburg and live there under hig tection. The hymn was written that’ night fn the inn from which they had jast been repulsed, and fully sets forth the situation and confidence of the writer. THE WESLEYS. The Protestant world is probably Indebted to the Wesleys for more hymns than to any other two men. Jotun Wesley’s hymns are peculiarly the outgrowth of his own experiences, and hardly one but can be referred to some definite incident as its stimulating cause. “HOW HAPPY EVERY PILGRIM’S Lor,” the song which celebrates the transient char- acter of the Christian, was written while Wes- ley was making @ missionary tour In the neigh- borhood of Newcastle, and had dally experience of violence from mobs. He at that time was not married, and had made over ail his property to trustees, and the hymn js therefore an auto- biographical note of ‘his condition. Charles Wesley had a pecullar and happy knack of taking advantage of any circumstance that. might ari: Once, when preaching in the “Old Foundry,” a church so-called from the former use of the building, the edifice was shaken by an earthquake... The ple arose in great alarm, and theré was lous danger of a panic in which many might be crushed to death. But Wesley was opal to the neponry, and In thunder tones led out, “Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.” The apt use of this text quieted the ple to that extent that he was enabled to Raieh his sermon. The hymn “‘Ir IS TOLD ME I MUST DIE,” recalls one of the most noted excitements in English history. It was written by Richard Langhorn, who was hanged upon the accusa- tion of Titus Oates, the perjurer who conceived the idea of living witnout work. by manufactu- ring tales of plots which he pretended to di- vuige to the government. rominent Cathotto, and natural, nunciation. The whole was 8 came in for DieMiss Us." This well-known song, which'ls probably only ‘Tess popular than the Doxology, was the pro- duction of a noted Methodist preacher named Shirley. The circumstances under which it was written are not certainly known, but it is said to have been inspired by the closing scenes of a it revival meeting.

The Genial Showman’s Advice to the Managerial Father. In 1865, when Miss Kate Bateman was play- ing an engagement in Philadelphia, says the Cincinnati Saturday Night, there occurred 4 very amusing encounter between Charley Brown (Artemus Ward) and “Pa” Bateman, as he was famiilarly known, the father of Kate. Mr. Bateman was, as he ay reason to be, excessively proud of ti talent of his daughter, and It had good e histrionte was upon the day following one of her greatest triumphs that he first met Artemus Ward, that being introduced to him by the actor, as plain “Mr. Brown.” “And you are the father of treas the world has ever seen. Mr. Bateman gave unm! irrepressible wag Mr. Frank Drew, wthe greatest ac- akable evidence of his entire belief in and proud consciousness of the tact. “Pardon me, sir,” sald Ward, in a yolce full of emotion, as he seized Mr. Bateman’s hand in @ vigorous clasp, shake hands with you ill you permit me, sir, to again?” Mr. Bateman was much affected by this hearty endorsement. “And now,” continued Ward, “if I might be so bold as to offer asnggestion, permit me tosay that wereI the father ot such achild, I—but that could not be. Permit -me,I beg,” tm- pulsively, and clutching wildly at Mr. Bateman’s arm, ‘permit me once more to strike hands with ‘the father of Kate Bateman.” This ceremony performed, Ward resumed: “Twas about to say, Mr. Bateman, that you are too modest in the intr oduction of your denghiter to the public notice—too modest, by far.” A gesture of Impatience fro: rently unnoticed by Artemus, ym pere was appa- who continued: “While you probably have some conception of the great gift with which your daughter is hap- plly possessed, you doubtless fear that your father’s pride- may lead you to unwarranted lengths. But believe me, sir, belleve me” (this with a voice choked with emotion), “there is no step which you are not warranted in taking to advertise the talent of so great an artist.” J, sir, would have advertised her appearance here in every paper published in this city.” “But, my dear sir,” interrupted Mr. Bateman, “she has been advertised in all of the papers | here every day for six months,” “I would,” continued Ward, entirely obfivious | of any Interruption, “have had the town billed from end to end with great posters, with Kate Bateman’s name upon them in letters a toot long.” “But, good heavens! man,” interpolated Mr. Bateman, ‘‘the whole country is billed in letters four feet long.” “I should have had fine traits exhibited in each of the “T did, I did!” shrieked Mr. Hthographic por- Busse stores.” jateman. “I would have gathered the members of the press together and banqneted them,” a step which Mr. Bateman had takena few days be- fore, and for which he had Just paid out $500. “Tn short,” concluded Ward, brooking no inter- ruption, ‘and smiling placidly the while, “I would allow the world to think me vain if they would, but I would never con: light under 4 bushel.
