A short time ago the London Tid-Bite offered a prize of two guineas for the best definition of "Music." The following was adjudged the best definition : Music is the endeavor of the soul to speak. The following are some of the best defi- nitions sent in : That subtle trembling of the air which, through the ear of man, soothes hie sor- row, dispels his fear, revives his hopes, calms his rage, purifies and educates his whole mind, and elevates his soul to heaven. Music is poetry translated into the lan- guage of angels. Music ie the river of melody, which has Nature for its source, Art for a tribu- tary, and Skill for its outlet. The art of using sound, singly or in combination, capable of pleasing the ear, touohing the heart, exciting the intellect, and enlivening the imagination. Music is the language by which thoughts and feelings otherwise aflutter. able are expressed. Soothing syrup for savage beasts. An appeal to the soul expressed in sympathetic sound. The only gift thought worthy by God of being equally divided between the angels and man. Music is the key to the human heart. A fancy ball of ideas, dressed in the masquerade of crotchets and quavers. Music is the soul's expression, the heart's solace and the mind's delight. Music (consists of every sound in Nature that gives pleasure to its bearers. A noisy peacemaker. A euooeesion of harmonious sounds whioh some people pay a guinea to hear, end some sixpence to have taken into the next street. Medicine for oohing hearts and tired brains. Notes on the bank of harmony. A scientific method by which that wild- est of animals, man, may be tamed. Music is the Volapuk of the feelings. The easel of the soul, and the canvas upon which we picture our emotions. Nice noise. • Bars in whioh teetotalers may indulge their thirst for melody. General Netivra. Ohio hae 11,400 saloons.
