,f 4 Street Scene. A correspondent of an Eastern
paper relates the following occurrence in this city:
So The other day. as l came down Broome street,
saw a street musician, playing near the door of
genteef dwelling. The organ was uncommonly
sweet and mellow, and It's tunes were slow and
pIaintive and hncied that l saw in the woman 5
Italian face an expire sion that indicated sufficient
refinement 10 prefer the tender and melancholy,
to the lively trainer tunes, in vogue with the
populace. She looked like one who had suffered
much, and the soTrowful music seemed her own
appropriate voice A liule girl clung to the scanty
garments if afraid of all things but her mother.
As looked on them, young lady of pleasing
counlenance opened the window, and began to sing
like bird, in keeping with the organ. Two
other young girls came and leaned on her shoul-
der; and still she sang on. Blessing on her gentle
heart Ii was evidently the spontaneous gush Of
human love and sympathy. The beauty of the
incident attracted attention. A group of gentle
men gradually collected round the organist; and
ever as the tune ended, they bowed respectfully
towards the window, waved their hats and called
out More, if you please g s.. , ..EE'-rf


"One, whom Iknew well for the kindest and
trucst soul, passed round his hat hearts were
kindIed and the silver feel in freely. In minute
four or five dollars were collected for the poor
man. She spoke no word of gratitude, but such
a look Will you 60 10 the next street and play
to a friend of.nimeF said my kind hearted friend


She answered, in tones expressing the deepest
emotion, No, sir God bless you all, (she step
ped back and stood sheltered by the curtain of the
window, l will go home now The tears trickled
down her cheeks, and as she walked away she
ever and anon wiped her eyes with the corner Of
her shawl The group of gentlemen fingered a
moment to look after her, then turning TO the now
closed window, they gave three enthusiastic cheers
and then departed better than they came. The
pavement on which they stood had been a church
to them; and for the next hour, at least, their
hearts were more than usually prepared for deeds
of genteness and mercy Why are such scenes
so uncommon Why DOVE thus repress our
sympathies, and chill the gentle current Of nature,
by formal observance and restraints ?" 4 sss4,
