MUSIC HATH CHARMS.
[The following is a verbatim report of a song one of our reporters heard at a party the other night :] \ Lady, ope' thy we-he-hindow, And incli-he-hine thine ear, While the moon, is bc-he-heaming, Deign my lay to he-he-hear. Softly s+eal the bree-hee-heezes, O'er the scented le-he-hea ; Birds among the tre-hee-heezes, Slumber si-hi-hilently. All the world repo-ho-hozes, And ourselves besi-lu-hide, Snoring through their no-ho-hoses, Urge thee for my.bri-hi-hide. I have gold in mi-hi-hillions, "Wed me, and I'll gi-hi-hive For thy trosseau tri-hi-hillions, Gaily thou shalt li-hi-hive. Marble walls^shall shri-hi-hine thee, Jew-hoo-hooelry I will buy ; Bright are jems and di-hi-hi-amonds, Brighter is thine e-hy-hye. Slaves shall wait thy bi-hi-hidding, All the air breathe per-a-fume, "Tis a diamond we-he-hedding If I am thy groo-hoo-hoome. Lady, from thy la-ha-hatice, Pray, look down on mc-he-he ; Mollify your fa-ha-hatlier, And ask me in to te-he-hoa. — " Sportsman,"
