'Ire Peace Institute Cantata!
We publish with pleasure the tallowing
Communication in relation to the late
cantata at the Peace Institute:
Raleigh, Dec. 7th.
Mews. EdUors of the News;
I received in '-the distribution of th
mail yesterday evening thti followinu
note, under dte of .Di-ctniber the 5 li
written in a delicate hand and deli
ciously perfumed:
"It Mecklenburg would write an
article on the Cantata last Friday niht
at Peace Institute, and publish it in the
News, he would very niu.h oblige many
triendaand alm!ivi8auurir the
. Ladies op Raleigh.'1 '
I am almost convinced it i3 all a hoax
that it didn't emanate Iron) any ladies
or lady at all, but trom some masculine
genius with a dangerous talent, if not
propensity,1 for forgery. But I shall
nevertheless (with your indulgence and
CO-operation) treat the request aa a
flattering verity.
I am not quite jissured that it is not,
and my rule of service to the opposite
sex is like that of the law which holds
that it is better that ninety-nine eu'Ity
persons escape than one should suffer
innocently. Applying the principle
more deservedly, it is surely better that
countless numbeis of joking masculine
'jail birds" should be unworthily in
dulged than one woman not to speak
ot "many" should in anything or in
anywise be disobliged.
I must needs divappoint my lair cor
respondents though, do wnat I will.
They have doubtless mistaken me (if
this note is genuine) for a musical
critic. But I am anything else. I love
music love it passionately without
in the least knowing why. As to torit
ten music, that is, and w ill ever remain,
an inexplicable mystery to me how any
body on earth can read it. The notes
and longitudinal bars suggest to me no
utlie. association or similitude than that
of a five rail fence with very black little
"niggers"' climbing it at all stages of
getting over.
With this trank preface, I proceed to
pronounce summary judgment upon the
"Cantata." AH the parts, aud all the
persons singing them, delighted me, and
in my unlearned opinion reflected inlin
ite credit upon the pupilage and pre
ceptorn of fhe( mu.-ical d p u tinent of
Peace Institute. As to u . n ,s;hei
:art, the viioIl and m- voicv h;vvv
haunted me ever sii.c- Ir. lurtn-r
praising her and no ne ti.Nt-, jiarueul .i
y, I must not be understtx; ! iiiVidi)Ul.
but only as conforming to ttio u -ayt- ami
etiquetteot al. courts roy.d to piaisi only
Majesty" m the restnve t .M..jsty,
or where It is concerned.. Ami the
Queen"in this case,I am quite sure, will
take toe praise like -Maiesty, and nut
et it turn her pretty head except m
a more literal senc- somen m- wheu
we chance to meet in the direcuon ot
one of her most loyal and devoted sub
lets.
I would I couM dvscrtbe, f.r such
readers ol the News as were not at the
Cantata, her appearance on that cc
sion But.Icoultl us easiiy write an
immortal poem. "I must be let off with
the easy old comprehension of dtsciip
tion in such cases, that she "looked
every inch a Queen." But her s'ng
ing her voice! Ah, loi that I liny.
not evei any easy old formula of empty
words to escape in. Yet I can scarcely
say uiore 61 it, iu my ignorance, than
that it was a wonderful soprano. I be
lieve that is what they call it. At any
rate, , " .
It was like the warbling of a bird,
bo sof , so nweet, so delicately clear !
A voice of mel ing tenderness, ideh b.'ent
With pure and geu.le musings till the soul.
Commingling with the melody, was borne.
Kapt and dissolved lnecs.uey, to Heaven. '
But Esther ! mock queen of ancient
Persia, and queen most real ol to day
in all that makes a queen better than
her hand-maidens, wotild'st know the
moral of so rare a gift? An, it please
you, my liege, even I will suggest jt jt
is to use and not misuse it, and to be
gratefully happy in it as Heaven
which gave it may direct and shape
your lot. Like beauty it is a dangerous
gift, and especially so when it is com
oined with beauty and ambition. T
know not if you have the last, but if
you have, fair lady fair girl take it
not amiss that I, almost a stranger,-
should presume to charge you to put it
utterly aside, and never be tempted to
take it to your heart and counsel at-ain.
You may have seen in print (as I have
of late) other and higher, because more
competent, praise ot your voice than
this of mine, and it may have suggested
to you a glorious public career. The
opinion expressed that you might make
yourself the per of any who have en-
joyed or now enjoy lame aud triumph
on the Lyric stae, might or might not
be fulfilled. But in either : case, if I
have not read the history and the secret
soul of your sex altogether wrong, you
would equally find at the end of a;l the.
saddest failure of all, in the conviction,
too late, that you had mistaken your
true mission and missed your own trne
happiness in this world.
In my humble but devoted opinion,
woman's only true and intended hap
piness is impossible of ; achievement iu
any pursuit o fame. least of all in any
that withdraws her irora that sweet
