know that, at that very Time,

The Power of Music,

A man who had been in the last stages of
intoxlcation, brought before justice in Albany,
was examined and fined for being drunk and
disorderly. The poor fellow had only an old
German fule, aud when asked if he would
leave it as pledge for his fine, he replied that
it was an old excellent instrument, and under
no circumstances would he part with it. For
getfu of the dignity Of the court, he raised it
to his lips and blew few sweet notes, at once
attracting and fixing the attention Of the court
aud spectators He perceived his advantages,
and played plaintive air, which imbued the
court with pity. He then changed it to pa
triotic measure, and the Star Spangled Ban
ner'' and Yankee Doodle excited the court
to fraternal love of country. Now or never
was the time Dixie" rolled out in sweet and
rapid cadences. Every one was taken by
storm. The policemen danced to its measures
the spectators wagged their heads and the
court, like Alexander, smiled its delight. The
fine was stricken from the docket, and the poor
fellow left with the flute under his arm, we
hope wiser and better man.
