A FISHY STORY
A famous English musician, who has recently died, once found himself at a musical “at home. In the course of the evening’s tortures a young lady attempted a verv difficult song, which she sang with exaggerated expression and many blunders. Next to the great composer sat an elderly lady, overflowing with gushing ignorance and vivid superlatives. '“Oh. sir!” she murmured, “do yon not adore her singing? Is is not full of soul ?” • “Well, madam.” he whispered, with a twinkle in his eye. “for my part, I think there is more of the flounder than the sole about it.” ■
