SHARPs AND FLATS. - The Courier de
Paris tells the story of beggar who presen-
ted himself regularly at a certain coffee house
with clarionet under his arm. "Will you
allow me, gentlemen" he said. in humble
tone of voice, ito play tune. l am no virtu-
oso, and If you prefer giving me a trife, l viii
spare you the annoyance Of listening to me-"
Every one felt at once for few stray coppers,
and the musician departed with profound
reverence. This he repeated several evenings
in succession. At last one evening young
man who had never failed to contribute to the
wants Of the itinerant musician, asked him in
a friendly manner to give them tune; let it
be good or bad, he wanted to hear him.
"But l am afraid, sir, / shall disappont
you.'
Never mind that, give us tune anyhow"
ABut am poor player, and have poor
instrument"
HNo matter for that, want to hear you"
We'll, sir, since you insist upon it," said the
poor man, Il tell you that don't play at all.

OF threatening people with my performances"

An Epitaph,

ABy T. W. PARSONS.
The handful here, that once was Mary's earth,
Held, while it breathed, so beautiful SOUL
That, when she died, all recognized her BIRTH
And had their sorrow in serene control.
"Not here not hare, % to every mourners heart
The wintry wind seemed whispering round her
bier:
And when the tomb-door opened. with a start.
We heard it echo from within-"Not here,"
Shoudst thou, sad pilgrim, who maysty hither pass
Note in these flowers delicater hue,
Should spring come earlier to this hallowed grass,
Or the bee later linger on the dew.
Know that her spirit to her body lent q
Such sweetness. grace as only goodness can,
That even her dust and this her monument,
Have yet a spell to stay one lonely man,
Lonely through life, but looking for the day
When what is mortal of himself shall sleep,
When human passions shall haze passed away,
And Love no longer be a thing to weep.
