The
mirth
of
gentlemen
of
this
class
is
of
a
grave
and
quiet
character
,
usually
;
but
the
present
instance
was
one
of
peculiar
festivity
,
and
they
relaxed
in
proportion
.
After
some
rather
tumultuous
toasting
of
the
Chief
Commissioner
and
Mr
.
Solomon
Pell
,
who
had
that
day
displayed
such
transcendent
abilities
,
a
mottled
-
faced
gentleman
in
a
blue
shawl
proposed
that
somebody
should
sing
a
song
.
The
obvious
suggestion
was
,
that
the
mottled
-
faced
gentleman
,
being
anxious
for
a
song
,
should
sing
it
himself
;
but
this
the
mottled
-
faced
gentleman
sturdily
,
and
somewhat
offensively
,
declined
to
do
.
Upon
which
,
as
is
not
unusual
in
such
cases
,
a
rather
angry
colloquy
ensued
.
‘
Gentlemen
,
’
said
the
coach
-
horser
,
‘
rather
than
disturb
the
harmony
of
this
delightful
occasion
,
perhaps
Mr
.
Samuel
Weller
will
oblige
the
company
.
’
‘
Raly
,
gentlemen
,
’
said
Sam
,
‘
I
’
m
not
wery
much
in
the
habit
o
’
singin
’
without
the
instrument
;
but
anythin
’
for
a
quiet
life
,
as
the
man
said
wen
he
took
the
sitivation
at
the
lighthouse
.
’
With
this
prelude
,
Mr
.
Samuel
Weller
burst
at
once
into
the
following
wild
and
beautiful
legend
,
which
,
under
the
impression
that
it
is
not
generally
known
,
we
take
the
liberty
of
quoting
.
We
would
beg
to
call
particular
attention
to
the
monosyllable
at
the
end
of
the
second
and
fourth
lines
,
which
not
only
enables
the
singer
to
take
breath
at
those
points
,
but
greatly
assists
the
metre
.
