What were the creditors to do with this wretched individual? At all events they were determined to have something; and one of their number, either previously aware of the bankrupt’s lyrical attainments or moved by a Shaksperian intuition of the debtor haying a “single face,” asked him if he could not cheer the drooping spirits of those to whom he stood indebted by warbling some ditty. The penniless yct tuneful bankrupt expressed bis willingness to oblige, and in tremulous accents piped forth the tender ballad of Then you'll remember me.” Tae scene was as pathetic aa it was original.
