WHIsrLINd.-~-Good whistling may
.nonetfinea DO neard, but, as a rule, a
plowboy will outstrip any well bred
man in whistling. The reason is, that
he is never haunted by sense Of the
righteousness Of his face as he purses
his mouth into the form of whistling.
A friend Of mine, who enjoyed q far
famed reputation of whistling, was re-
peatedly asked to exercise his talent at
dinner and evening parties. But he
would comply with the request only on
condition that he might turn his back
to the company His demand was ON
all occasions granted, whereupon he
would turn around and begin to whist
le any tune desired One day he was
asked to favor his friends with a piece
from La Somnambula, and as was hir
wont, he wheeled round, and fixing his
eyes on the ground, commenced whist
ling. Happening to raise his eyes to-
wards the conclusion Of the air, he saw
in a large mirror before him, the coun-
tenaces Of his auditors, some of whom
were trying to restrain their mirth;-
this wan too much for him, and the
tune was abruptly put a stop, by loud
burst Of laghter from the gentleman
himself An Englishman some years
since gave several specimens Of his skill
in whistling, and got up class to teach
! it, OF couase there was some giggling
before the lesson commenced, but il
vas soon exhausted, and the class, with
solemn faces, waited for the tutor, who
was trilling few preparatory cadenzas
The order camo-"G Gentlemen, prepare
70 pucker" as be pursed up lie lips
The class never got beyond that point
