A music publisher of the name of Benjamin Hind was selling oil; a stock of slightly damaged music. He had the list attractively displayed, his name being attached to each piece. The result can be imagined from the following specimen lines :— "Oh ! let me like a soldier fall" B. Hind. "Where shall we stand when freedom calls ?" B. Hind. " She wore a wreath of roses " B. Hind. "I fear no foe" B. Hind. " She's all my fancy painted her " B. Hind. The effect was even more ridiculous in others. In fact, we cannot continue the list, for, to quote Hamlet, we might say, " Thus bad begins, but worse remains " B. Hind.
