The Power of Music.

One stormy night few weeks since, (says the
Albany Knickerbocker.) we were vending our
way homeward near midnight The storm ragged
violently, and the streets were almost deserted
Occupied with our thoughts, we plOdded on, when
the sound of music from a brilliantly Illuminated
mansion for a moment arrested our footsteps A
voice of surprising sweetness and bril.iancy com.
menced well-known air. We listened to few
strains. and were turning away. when a roughly
dressed, miserable looking man brushed rudely
past Us But as the music reached his ears, he
stopped and listened intently, as if drinking in
the melody, and the last sound died away.
burst into tears.
We inquired the cause Of his grief.
For moment emotion forbade utterance, when
he said:
% Thirty years ago, my mother sang me TO
sleep with that song-she has long been dead.
and l. once innocent and happy, am-an out
cast-a drunkard-''
"I know it is unmanly,'' he continued, after
pause in which he endeavored TO wipe away
with his sleeve the fastly gathering tears, 81
know it is unmanly thus TO give way, but that
sweet tune brought back vividly the thought of
childhood. Her form seemed once more before.
III can't stand i'll"
And before we could stop him, he rushed on,
and entered a tavern near by to drown Temem-
brance in the intoxicating bowl.
While filled with sorrow for the unfortunate
man, we could not help rejecting upon the won-
derful power OF music That simple strain. COM
ing perehance from some gay and :houghtless
girl, and sung to Others equally thoughtless,
still had Its gentle mission, for it stirred deep
feelings in an outcast's heart, bringing back
happy hours long gone by.

the latter yielded, and taking his p%reserver by tn,

Everybody was surprised that a little man, lik,
the father, had been able to capture such a sirens
young man but the proof was before them. Tn,
fifty francs were paid, and the prisoner sent bacl
