distinguishing a TrOubadour.

The other night as friend of ours was
going home at late hour, he heard in the
distance sweet strains o. music, or at first
supposed to be music, but which proved to
be principally "strains" and other dismal
sounds that seemed to come rom a bosom
racked with anguish, or stomach overload
ed with green fruit Softly our friend drew
near, and at last discovered from whence the
sounds proceeded. A youth, over whose IN
per lip the barber could not have slipped the
back of his razor blade more than twice.
stood leaning against gate post, with his
eyes fixed upon a chamber window in the
second sto,y of the house before hin. In
his han Is he held guitar, upon which he
picked with the air OF one who is not certain
ne Is rs on the right string, while from his part
ed lips came the following song:
have lo-l vel the-he Zulha Zo-bono
Fo-hor th-hy life was all a so-bonoi
Wa-wa has che hertnl smi-hile.
Wa-wa has su-hunshile all the wh-bile

Oh, Zu-hula, moulder-hing Zn-hnla
Si-hilent is thy silver so-hongi
Oh, Zu-hula, dar-haring Zuhula
De-hear departed Zu-hula Zong
The singer here took rest of a few min
utes, looked anxiOusly down the street TO see
that no policemen were in sight, and then,
IhioWniS peculiar plalntlve sound into his
voice, he sang:
'When the moon is shi-hining DER che

Here the front door was suddsaly opened
and sepulchral voice said, ''SieS him, Tige!'
and out bounced dog aboat the size of a
-four barrel, and with god set of natural
teeth. The singer turDed back somersault
out of the gate. and With the dog nipping at
his coat tail at ever jump, disappeared down
toward the heart OF the city. Our friend
turned and left the spot, but not III til he had
seen middle aged man in a single garment
with an abbreviated narrative, rolling in the
hallway convulsed with mirth, and saying,
whenever he could stop laughing long enough
to say anything-"Oh, the-hen-Oh, the
ben, I'll think of theeP
Our friend had walked several blocks from
where the scene described occurred, when he
met the dog returning with wild expression
in his eye, and pair of suspenders and
portion of coat tail in his mouth. Such is
life among the the lowly in that town, and
we believe the course of true love is more tu-
multuous there than anywhere. We do, in-
deed.

failures. The mountain is apt TO over shad-
