The Hunter’s Music.

The thunder grew louder. The storm gathered, hovered, burst. In a moment we are wet—'but hark! through the roll of the thunder and the swirl of the rain, there sounds the bay of the hounds upon the mountain side. Old Spot is giving tongue, and that means the game is bear. Young Spot*joins in, and—booom, boooomm—down the can on they come. The younger dogs stop chasing deer and add their sharp voices to the infallible roar of the old trailer who follows on, as sure and as relentless as death. Where else now is music? Where is any harmony other than that of the full-voiced pack a-cry? Oh! Patti, Gerster, Nilsson; oh! Remenyi, Rnbenstein, we love thee all, but no, thank you, we can’t come just now.— American Field. A large proportion of the engineers on the East Inman, railroads are natives.
