The Man With the Game Leg
and the Organ Grinder.
Yesterday n hand organist sat
down before a house on Congress
street, and began to turn out
sweet melodies,.but the first tunc
hadn’t been finished when an odd
looking man about fifty years old,
having a game leg nnd a general
forlorn look, came along and halted
in front of the Italian.
* Sweet! Great skies! hut it's
melting! Iv’e known that tune for
a long time, but I never could
sing it without weeping. If I
had a million of dollars I’d bny a
hand organ and play that tune
straight along for six mouths
without stopping the crank!’
He put bis hands over his face
and appeared agitated, and the
Italian didn’t seem to cure wheth
er be collected * cent or not. He
ground the tune out, touched (be
stop nnd remarked:
‘ Vary graan-de mu-zeek dis
time—ha T
And * Yankee Doodle’ rolled
from the little square box like
sheet-lightning sliding down the
side of a hay-stack.
‘ Great Concord!’ yelled the
man with a game leg* as the tupc
reached ‘ Doodle Dandy’; * bold
oil a minute till I get this leg qii-
derme! Thar—let let her cpme
now
‘ Whoodle, poodlo, doodle-doo!
* Hi, sky, doodle dandy !’
And he leaped around, slapped
the Italian on the back, threw his
hat on the walk, and continued:
* Snaix and reptiles! but’ don’t
that tun? make glory stand right
out like mud out # white houso!’
Rah for us T >’> ni -*i •-
The Italian saw 'that a crowd
was gathering, and he broke-, the
tune short off and sailed awaken
the • Suwanee River.’
1 he first straii\s,of the dehr old
melody had scarcely left the box
wheu the mau with the game jpg
leaned up ngaiust a tree' box,
wiped the sweat from his brow
and said: ■ ’ »’-•••• ’ ;
a There’s something more to Te-
Imind me of my lust Ilanner! Isn’t
' that pervission |br . the' ^ungry
soul, though! 5\’hat. strains!
What tears! Wliat bulging of
the heart!’ . .
‘ Vary soft mu-zeek,’ remarked
the Italian. ;
• Soft! My heavens! Man, if
you’ll pay my board Til thivel the
whole country over and carry -
(hat organ, just to hear you ; play
that tuue!’
He reached out bis arms, made
motions as if drawing the tune to
his breast, and whispered:
• Glory 1 When I dio let me die
listening to them strains of ' Su-
wanee River!’
The organist shouldered his
box and moved oil, and the mail
with the game leg leaned up
against the fence and - wiped his
eyes.—Detroit Free Press.-

doubt, by the frequent remarks
of the indifferent render, after pe

'there's uothiug the paper.’ It
says:
“ Aiid mcn are always grumbling

TF0JLLV.S' LOVE.
It is \ve confess, rather a hard
lot which is assigned »o woman
that she is never allowed to be
tho first to tell her love. Sonic!
Imvo contended that this is a right
of which she ought not to be de
prived , and tluit it is both unji St
and cruel that she should not en
joy the same privilege ns a man
to express a preference for any
ouc tp whom she happens to tdkc
a fancy. Whatever intrinsic fair
ness might desire, however, the
distinction between the two sexes,
'itt this respect; is well settled by
long established sunge, that to nit
present' practical purposes, it
scams 'idle to cavil at it now.
But women ofteu feel what cus-.
tom forbids them to express; anj
it is possible that they sileutly in
dulge tlieir predilections the more
freely for the very reason tluit
they arc prohibited from giving to
them n voice. We think such in
dulgence often leads to great un
happiness, and sometimes to last
ing disappointment and grief.
We receive a large number of
letters,from youug ladios, In which
filiey avow fraukly. that they have
permitted themselves to fall in
love prich young men, of whose
sentemeuts toward them they nfc
in doubt. "Now wo carheswy cau-
ti >ii gh-ls and young wotnch
agitiilSt allowing their affections
to beccmt fastened, in t'lis nay,
upon persons to whom t'icy have
no business to allow thnuto ex
tend., e, • , , .,„ to
Jt may he said that love takes
to itself wings, and is nut always
under the control of the leasin'
nnd will.',
We admit 1 'that there if? a dcgfiic
ofttrutbi in this; hut while the
heart ciirihot he nbSolately gov-
efiletl by the head, it'may lie to a,
great extent, and the effort shjultf
always lie made to keep it in sub
jection;.,. So much of misery re
sults froto falling ip, love, wkmie
tlji>£e,is\ no prpspect of, pa'obuiiili-
ty of its return, that it should lie
carefully guarded against.
Young women should iiot allow
their thonglils to dwell and coti-
ifeirtrate on ybitng men who have
never shown them any partiality,,
and whose Feelings consequently
may be presumed .to be indiffer
ent in reference to them. They
arc not privileged to make pro
posals, and they should study to
curb the premature' bestowal of
their affections as custom curbs
their tongues. R 1 ,l:
