A devout woman of thin city was
recently sick, as her family and
friends believed, onto death. She
bad made her preparations and was
daily awaiting her end with patient
resignation. Her hoars of suffering
were cheered by the glimpses of the
anseea world that came to her, and
one day she called to her attendants
who were grouped about her in hour
ly anticipation of ber decease: "Oh,
that heavenly music 1 Dont yon hear
itf" . Strongly impressed, in spite of
themselves, by her fervor, the rest
strained their ears to catch the har
monies of heaven, when a cyclonic
burst of sound from a street piano
manipulated by an Italian across the
street swung full into the rollicking
of "Johnny. Get Tour
Gun.' There) was a moment a silence
in the sickroom, then an involun
tary burst of laughter in which the
sick woman joined. From that mo
ment a reaction set in, and today.
though still an invalid, she has the
prospect of years of hie before her.
