The expected night cum.  At nine o'clock precisely there was sounds of footsteps in the yard, and the Band struck up a lively air, which when they did finish it, there was cries of "Ward! Ward!"  I stept out onto the portico.  A brief glance showed me that the assemblage was summut mixed.  There was a great many ragged boys, and there was quite a number of grown-up persons evigently under the affluence of the intoxicatin bole.  The Band was also drunk.  Dr. Schwazey, who was holdin up a post, seemed to be partic'ly drunk--so much so that it had got into his spectacles, which were staggerin wildly over his nose.  But I was in for it, and I commenced:-- "Feller Citizens,--For this onexpected honor--" LEADER OF THE BAND.--Will you give us our money now, or wait till you git through?" To this painful and disgustin interruption I paid no attention. "--for this onexpected honor, I thank you." LEADER OF THE BAND.--"But you said you'd give us seven dollars if we'd play two choons." Again I didn't notice him, but resumed as follows:-- "I say, I thank you warmly.  When I look at this crowd of true Americans, my heart swells--" DR. SCHWAZEY.--"So do I!" A VOICE.--"We all do!" "--my heart swells--" A VOICE.--"Three cheers for the swells." "We live," said I, "in troublous times, but I hope we shall again resume our former proud position, and go on in our glorious career!" DR. SCHWAZEY.--I'm willin for one to go on in a glorious career!  Will you join me, fellow-citizens, in a glorious career?  What wages does a man git for a glorious career, when he finds himself?" "Dr, Schwazey," said I, sternly, "you are drunk.  You're disturbin the meetin." DR. S.--Have you a banquet spread in the house?  I should like a rhunossyross on the half shell, or a hippopotamus on toast, or a horse and wagon roasted whole.  Anything that's handy.  Don't put yourself out on me account. At this point the Band begun to make hidyous noises with their brass horns, and an exceedingly ragged boy wanted to know if there wasn't to be some wittles afore the concern broke up?  I didn't exactly know what to do, and was just on the point of doin it, when a upper winder suddenly opened, and a stream of hot water was bro't to bear on the disorderly crowd, who took the hint and retired at once. When I am taken by surprise with another serenade, I shall, among other arrangements, have a respectful company on hand.  So no more from me to-day.  When this you see, remember me. ____________________ O'BOURCY'S "ARRAH-NA-POGUE."
