"Poor Longstreet" is what our exchanges
call him, and aptly, too, for he is poor indeed
Poor, in the respect Of his kindred; poor, IN
the vanished idolatrous love of his people /;
poor, in the sympathies of all true and honor
able men: poor, in the pleasurable memories
OF his life, which promised world of glory
but reaped q hell Of woe; poor, in the hopes
of that posthumous fame which all noble men
strove to leave behind them! His own hand
has drawn the black line of infamy across his
name, where it stood written in letters of gold
uoon the sacred roster of "Southern Heroes :"

Anecdote Of Rossini.

An organ grinder can hardly be class
ed among musicians, and there seems to
be but little opportunity for display ,i
skill in the monotonous round Of his
p criorma"ces. Rossini, however, ap
pears to have thought that no one con
nected in any with music ought to be
wholly mechanical in its execution, and
once gave an organ grinder lesson 1t
is said that he came one day upon a man
playing "Di Tanti Papiti' on hur
dygurdy. The performer was astonished
to hear voice from the crowd suddenly
exclaim "Faster, iasterw GLOW
fasterT says the organ man. "Turn
the handle-auioker it is aHcgro." "But,
sir, don't know" "Iike this 81
so" and Rossini rushed upon the organ
and, ground out the tune to the proper
time. "Thank you, sir" said the man ::
81 shall remember the lesson;" and, in
fact, on the next day he was heard in
the same place, playing "Di Tanti
Palpi'i," as he had been taught. "Bravo,
brayo, bravo !" exclaimed Kossini from
window, and dropped louis dor at
the mans feet.
