A gentleman who was rery fond of music was anxious to find the name of a certain song, the melody of which had pleased him grealy. At last he heard an organ-grinder playing it fortissimo. He rushed up to him. "What is that tune?" "Silfa treda monigo," was the instant reply. The gentleman went immediately to a music shop and asked for an Italian song entitled " Silfa tredi monigo." " I don't know it; whistle the air." The gentleman "prepared to whistle," and succeeded in piping the melody. Instantly the music-seller brought him " Silver threads among the gold."
A little kiss, a little bliss, a little ring; it's ended. A little jaw, a little lav?, and, lo! the. bonds are rended.
