prosperity has commenced here in

MECHANIC AND MUSICIAN.

It seems that Ole Bull and Ericsson,
the inventor, were friends in early life,
but drifted apart, and did not meet again
until each had become famous. Bull
had charmed the ears OF admirinR thou
sands all over the civilized world, while
the part the great mechanician played in
naval warfare during the war reused the
North to enthusiasm and startled the
world.
When taking his leave, Bull invited
Ericsson to attend his concert that night.
Ericsson, however, declined, saying he
had no time to waite. Their acquaint-
ance being thus renewed, Bull continued
to call on his old friend when visiting
New York, and usually, when taking his
leave, would ask Ericsson to attend his
concert; but Ericsson always declined
the invitation.
Upon one occasion Bull pressed him
earnestly, and said:
eff you do not come, I shall bring my
violin here and play in your shop"
eff you bring the thing here I shall
smash it,"
Here we're two men the very opposite
of each other; Bull, an impulsive, roman
tic dreamer; Ericsson, stern, thoughtful,
practical, improving every moment with
mathematical precision.
Bulls curiosity was aroused to know
what effect music would have upon the
grim, matter of. fact man of squares and
circles. So, taking his violin with him, he
went to Ericsson's shop. He had remov-
ed the strings, screws, and apron
Noticing a displeased expression on
Ericsson's face, Bull called his attention
to certain defects in the instrument, and,
speaking of its construction, asked Erics
son about the scientific and acoustic pro-
perties in the grain Of certain woods.
From this he passed on to discussion OF
sound waves, semitones, etc.
To illustrate his meaning, he replaced
the strings and, improvising few chords,
drifted into rich melody. The work
men, charmed, dropped their tools, and
stood in silent wonder. He played on
and on; and when finally he ceased,
Ericsson raised his bowed head, and
with moist eyes. said:
"Do not stop. Go on Go on!
