POger Of Music on Nishiingahs-In
lbe gardens of Dilgusha. a: Shiraz, in
Persia, nightiugales are said to abound.
which mol only sing during the night, bur
whose plainlve melody is not by day
suspended in the East. as in our colder
region; and il is said that several of those
birds have expired while contending with
musicians in the loudness or variety o!
their notes. II has. indeed, beeu known,
according to Pliuy, lha, in vocal trials
among nishtingaes, the vanquishea bird
terminated its song only with iis life.
An intelligent Persian, who rcpeaied
this Story again. aud permitted me 10
write it down from his lips, declared tha:
he had more than once been presenI
when celebrated Iutanist, Mira Mo-
hammed. suruamed Balab, was playing
10 a large company in grove near Shi
raz. where he distinctly saw the nighlin-
gales trying to vie with The musician;
sometimes wurbline ON the trees, from
branch 10 branch as if they wished 10
approach the instrument whence the mel
ody proceeded; and at length; dropping
on the ground in kind of ecstacy from
which no assured me they were stron raj
sed by a change in the mode. And in

we find beautiful pnem which tends to
confirm the Persian, reports for il suppo-
ses the spirit of emulation so powerful in
