Universal Effect of Music. 
Be the scientific solution what it may, whether or not 
“°T is love creates their melody, and all 
This waste of music is the voice of love,” 
we know that music is pleasurable to man, and its con- 
tinuous presence throughout the animal kingdom indicates 
that it is pleasurable also to the beings beneath him. 
Why should not the subtile power of music extend from 
man down to the smallest creature? The author of Job 
and Shakespeare record its effect on the horse, and similar 
testimony is to be met with in all literatures ancient and 
modern. 
Music-Lovine Cows. 
“Opposite to our house was a large field in which some twelve or thir- 
teen cows were put during the summer months. One day a German band 
commenced to play on the road which divided the house from the field. 
The cows were quietly grazing at the other end of the field, but no sooner 
did they hear the music than they at once advanced toward it, and stood 
with their heads over the wall attentively listening. This might have 
passed unnoticed, but upon the musicians going away the animals fol- 
lowed them as well as they could on the other side of the wall, and when 
they could get no farther stood lowing piteously. So excited did the 
cows become that some of them ran’ round and round the field to try 
to get out, but finding no outlet returned to the corner where they had 
lost sight of the band; and it was some time before they seemed satisfied 
that the sweet sounds were really gone.” — American Naturalist.
