TIE AET OF WMISTLIN,;.-.,oAlu per-
sons have this art snpcr-eminently over
the majority Of >!!eir fellows, bat the fl-
yorud ones a.n limited in number, for
while only few are able TO whistle in
4 manner which will gain general ad
! niration. Il large minority who attempt
the pastime have no more music il their
souls than good sized bull fro"s. These
latter are they who, if ever they make
anything by the exercise OF their pow
erS, pet pay to stop their discor'l;nt
notes rather ,!ian to 20 on. Not 50 with
4 good whistler. Everybody is partial
to whi>.ling too and that is the reason
why everybody in this country loves 10
whistle, and WIS the reason why Frank
lin invested in y whole cargo of wills
ties. Oil whistle anI III come to ynu
my !a,l," shows that it WIS lrac;iced
long AGO and WAS esteemed rs Il lovers
signal. /; Was tie fortune of :: Few con-
!loiS>cIuS Of this very peculiar kind Of
music, to hear Il number Of familiar airs
| from practiced lips on Tuesday last, and
ii is pleasant to gay that two or three Of
orr jmo$t prominent citizens wishing 10
do their fellows I real GOOD, have Sc
cured the services of the performer for
the p@:po:r forming a whiStl;n" class.
rilat this character Of mH.ic nay be I'M
proved in Ncwf,crrv. This is Il move
i'll the liyh; direction. Very few Of oar
| Young mrn know how to picker their
; mouths for 4 whistle" and some OF ilosc
who do. are only able to max" tie
wretchcdc$t mnSic. MHch money iIaS
been spent in getting up instruments
for brass bands ani i'll thai sort Of thing.
anil without the benefit which it WAS
reasonable to lock for. In this thing
one Of the Great difficulties will be Oh
Waited. there will be no Instruments to
| blv. no Instruments 10 lose. and none
t, keep in tune. Nature proTitirs tlc
o?gan, and rs every man is 4 happy
posSeSSor. if we can prevail in tie plan.
a:,I get the youth to take lessons. IN
! eirIant tine may be expected. Think
0? the pleasure Of whiStling solo on
| the spur Of the moment. wherever y0u
happen to be. nr if two 0r three are 60
@c;her. the delightful dUett. &c. We
. trust the gentlemen alluded TO will pII>h
