Mark Twain on the Aecordson.

Mark was, rs many other young men
are at some period oftheir lives, anxious
to learn music. He tried first one in
strument, then another, till finally be
settled down to the ACCORDION. On
that soul stirring article Of music he
learnt 10 play that melodious and pop
ular air, "Auld Lang Syne." For
about q week he continued to torture
his unwilling hearers, when, being Of
an ingenious turn of mind, be endeavor-
ed to improve upon the original melody
by adding some variations of bis own.
But who has ever seen q real genius
succeed YETI. Just as Mark had finished
his only tuno, aud wound up with an
admirable flourish, the ~laudlady rushed
into his room. Said she
"Do you know any other tune but
that, Mr.. TwainT" / told her, meekly,
that I did not. swell, then" said she,
stick to it just as it Is ; don't put any
variations to It ; because 1t is rough
on the boarders the way 1t Is now"
The upshot was, that its "roughness'
was soon made manifest, for half the
boarders left, and the other half would
have left had not the landlady ~discharg-
ed Mark. Then, like the wandering
jew, Mr.. Twain went from house to
house. None would undertake to keep
him after ono nights music; so at last,
in sheer desperation, he went to board
at an Italian lady's-Mrs. Murphy by
uame. He says:
The firsttime l struck up the vari-
atoms, a hsggard, care-worn, cadav-
erous old man walked into my room
and stood beaming upon me a smile
of inctfable happiness. Then be placed
his hand upon my head, and looking de-
youtly aloft, he said with feeling unc-
ton, God bless you, young man ! God
bless you for you have done that for
me which is beyond all praise. For
years I have suffered from an incurable
disease, and knowing my doom was
sealed, and that l must die, / have
striven with all my power to resign my
self to my fate, but 10 yain-the love OF
life was too strong within me. But
heaven bless. you, my benefactor ! for
since I heard you play that tune, aud
those variations, I do not want to live
any longer-I am entirely resigued-l
am willing 10 die-in fact, / am anxious
to die And then the old man fell upon
my neck, and wept a food Of happy
tears. was surprised at these things,
but could not help giving the old gem
q parting blast in the way OF
some peculiarly decorating variatiocs,
as be went out of the door. They
doubled him up like o j~ack-knife, and

suffering he was all right in q metallic
At last Mark gave up his pencbant
for the accordion, and from that day
zaye amateur musicians a wide berth.
