Text Appearing Before Image:
I remember, I remember, how in Winters long ago
I woke to find my attic bed half covered up with snow,
And how the home-made socks of blue that patiently I wore
Were knitted from the kind of stuff in Nestor’s shirt of yore.
I remember, I remember, how we sat by candlelight
And vainly tried to see to do our lessons overnight,
And how before the glowing hearth from time to time we turned,
Because, alas! our backs would freeze the while our faces burned.

I remember, I remember, how our holidays were few
And father always found some chores we had to stay and do;
In hoeing corn and sawing wood we got our exercise,
And dad’s old trousers for us boys were made a smaller size.
I remember, I remember, how the seasons came and went.
And we helped to reap the harvests, but we never got a cent.
I like to recollect it all and talk of it, I vow,
But thank the Lord with all my heart those times are over now.
— Minna Irving in The N. Y. Times.

Text of Image:
MUSIC. Music is that elevated science which affects the passions by sound. There are few who have not felt its charms and acknowledged its expressions to be intelligible to the heart. It is a language of delightful sensations, far more eloquent than words; it breathes to the ear the clearest intimations; it touches and gently agitates the agreeable and sublime passions; it wraps us in melancholy, — and elevates in joy; it dissolves and inflames; it melts us in tenderness and incites us to war. This science is truly congenial to the nature of man; for by its powerful charms the most discordant passions may be harmonized and brought into perfect unison; but it never sounds with such seraphic harmony as when employed in singing hymns of gratitude to the Creator of the Universe.
Extract from Sickels’ Freemason’s Monitor.
