Horatio Alger 
Phil, the Fiddler [EPUB ebook] 

pub One.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition. Among the most interesting and picturesque classes of street children in New York are the young Italian musicians, who wander about our streets with harps, violins, or tambourines, playing wherever they can secure an audience. They become Americanized less easily than children of other nationalities, and both in dress and outward appearance retain their foreign look, while few, even after several years’ residence, acquire even a passable knowledge of the English language.
