Such genuine old ballads as remain in the popular memory are either fast dying out, or relate exclusively to the never-e to-be-superseded topics of love, war, and wine. The people of our day have little heart or appreciation for song, except in Scotland and Ireland. 'england and America are too prosaic and too busy, and the masses, notwithstanding all their supposed advan tages in education, are much too vulgar to delight in either song or ballad that rises to the dignity of poet ry. They appreciate the buffooneries of the Negro Minstrelsy, and the inanities and the vapidities of sentimental love songs, but the elegance of such writers as Thomas Moore, and the force 0 4.
