FWhistling-We are afraid the art Q
whistling is not regarded as it should be-
as one of the fine arts. Here is what CO
TEMPORARY thinks Off '"The man who don
believe in whistlng should 60 step further
and put muz$fe on bobolinks and mockin
birds. Whistting is a great institution. l
oils the wheels of care; and supplies til
place of sunshine. A man who whistles ha
a good heart under his shirt front Such
man not only works more willingly than an
other man, but he works more constantly
A whistling ccbbler will earn as much inone
again as a cordwainer who gives way, I
low spirits and Indigestion. Glean or avar
cious men never whistle"
