Music HATH CHARMS, &c.-On Monday
night we were aroused from our slumbers by a
serenadng party, who, stopping under our VIM
dow, delighted us with their sweet music, both
vocal and instrumental. WHAT'S more pleasing
than to be startled from sound sleep, and be-
fore you are fairly awake, to hear the beauti-
full notes OF the guitar, accompanied by the
voices of accomplished singers? 1t did not
hardly seem real to us. We were imagining
ourself in dream-and and it was some time
before we comprehended the true state OF the
case. We should like to hear the performance
repeated.
