"MIssING 7" 1t is not an uncommon
announcement, though the fact never
ceases to be fearfully mysterious, that
out of the various ranks of society one
and another drops, no one knows where.
" Missing" is all that can be said of
them. A short time ago there was pub
lished, in one of our daily newspapers, a
list of over fifty persons who, in less than
three months, had mysteriously disap-
peared from New York and vicinity.
Some, doubtless, had absconded, for rea-
sons of their own; many others. young
boys and girls, were probaly kidnapped
or enticed into secretly vicious ways Of
life while concerning others not even a
probable conjecture can be made. Such
a record is extremely startling; and to
friends, there is no more agonzing sus-
pense than that conveyed in the simple
word, missing"

she will find under my bed; to nephew,
two other stockings, to the housekeeper,

down the pitcher and found it full of
guineas, the others examined their stock

THE Ass AND THE FIDDLER.

Within the fields, one Summer day,
A strong-lunged ass b. gan to bray;
The uplands echoed back his voice
To hear it made his heart rejoice.
" All, what n pity :" cried the ass,
" That should longer feed on grass:
My lungs arc strong, my voice is loud,
AT concerts | might draw crowd.
List TO my music how it fills
The valleys sleeping 'mong tho hills
Twas sweet, know, for look ! SEQ what
Grand ears for music l have got p
A great musician heard tho din
While passing with his violin;
He stopped while upon tho way
And bade tho old ass cease to bray.
" My long-eared friend" tho fiddler said,
" This neighborhood must wish you dead
For worse than any sounding brass
Is your coarse braying, Mr.. Ass.
If you wish music, cease your din,
And listen to my violin"
He rubbed the rosin on his bow;
He tried the notes both high and low;
Making stone do for chair
He played grand soul-stirring air.
Ere he had ceased his tune to play,
Tho ass began again to bray,
No violin, nor song of Bird
Could for moment then bc hoard.
At last the old ass dropped his head,
And to tho old musician said:
. Music is sound, my friend, you 500
Therefore all sound must music be-;
Of mine the world will be tho proudest,
Because, my friend. it is the loudost."
What more could tho musician say?
What farther do but lot him bray?
Ho wandered off through twilight dim
Ass wisdom was too much for him.
