TILE BELLOWS BLOWERS.

A lad employed to work the bellows of q
great church.organ, noticed, one day, what
great Inconvenience ensued by the non.arri
val of the organist; the circumstan, e, being
quite unforeseen, creating some considera.
BILE sensation in the church. Putting very
false estimate upon his own services, he de.
termined to play the parish trick, and
thought that by staying away for once to
cause d similar sensation. But statoning him.
self secretly in the loft, he, to his disappoint.
ment, found that, after the lapse of a min.
ute, everything went on just as usual; and
he then learned, that whatevE, difficulty
there might be to find organists, bellows
blowers were plentiful enough.
The ArpLrcATroN.--We may all smile at
the folly of the lad in this fable, who, for the
paltry qualification of his vanity, would take
such step: but ignorance and yulgarity
are continually leading people to make simi-
lar exhibitions. Airs assumed by such to
enhance their seeming Importance, in the
end only show US how slight pang is eau
sed by their absence.

such wigs upon as he intended for sale. AT.

silence, the latter thus addressed them If
