The Tale Of the Tom-Tit.

The following verses comprise the words of the most popular song in Gilbert and Sullivan's newcomic opera of the 'Miakdo," which is at present enjoying an extensive popularity in the chief cities of the East. On tree by a river little tom-tit Sang Willow, tit-wilIow, tit-willowi'' And said to him, ''Dicky.bird, why do you
 sit
 Singing g'Willow. tit-willow, tit-wiilow? Is it weakness or intellect, birdie?' I cried, Or rather tough worm in your little in-
 side?' With shake ot his poor little head he re-
 replied,
 70, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!' He slapped at his chest as he sat on that
 bough,
 Singing Willow, tit-willow, tit-willowr' And cold precipitation bespangled his
 brow,
 Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow. He sobbed and he sighed, and a gurgle he
 gave. Then he threw himself into the billowy wave And an echo arose from the suicides grave, ''Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willowr' Now. I felt just as sure as I'm sure that my
 name Isn't Willow, tit-willow, tit-wnlow, That twas blighted affection that made him
 exclaim,
 ''Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow.'' And if you remain callous and obdurate, Shall perish as he did. and you shall know
 why Though I probably shall not exclaim as 1 die, "Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!'
