stupid trash never was written. Hear il:
"Oh. don't You remember Sweet Alice,
Ben Bolt;
Sweet Alice with hair so brown.
She wept with delight when you gave her
smile.
And trembled with fear az your frown.'
What sort of q sweet Alice" was that
to weep with delight when her friend or
lover. whichever it was. did no more
for her than to give her a smile? She
must have been a veritable namby-pamby
ash-cat that had had nothing but kicks
and cuffs all her life to be so profoundly
stirred by so trivial an incident as this.
And what a wreiched coward she was
TO trcmble with fear just because the fel-
low frowned, II that's the kind of
girl Mr.. Thomas Dunn English thinks
the American boy is on the hunt for, he
knows very little OF the American boy

bother their heads with getting fright

We have seen one most sensible state
mont from Mir. English about his song,
which was that il is utterly worthless
but the best thing in Trilby.
Mr.. English's fatigue with Sen Bolt is
therefore perfectly natural, but we never
could understand General Shermans
growing tired of Marching Through
Georgia" The air is one of the grandest
and most sonorous pieces Of music ever
produced, which grows upon true mu-
steal ear wherever IT is heard
Shermans fatigue grows out of the
fact. perhaps. that its reputed author ala
no more than steal one of the melodies
OF Georgia's negroes, and the music.
therefore. naturally suggested and brought
up before his mind his plundering ana
burning march through that state
Remorse was perhaps the foundation OF
his dislike Of the music.
