He has made a most fa¬ vorable impression as a thorough and accomplished instructor, as well fts a polished unci Christian gentleman, and ah who have r-nde his acquaintance will remember him with pleasure. The concert with which the exercises of the school were closed Wednesday night, reflect much credit on both the management and participants.

Much of the programme was composed of some of the most difficult selections. but they were rendered with such ease perfection as to impress the audience with the thorough work of the tutor us well as to highly please those who ap¬ preciate good music. Prof. Myers rendered several comic selections which “brought down the ( house” and evinced quite the talent of mi actor. His jokes at the expense of j the audience were good aud created no j little fun. j j The part of t he little folk was admira¬ bly rendered and showed that they had not been neglected in the exercises of the school. The readiness with which they replied to questions on the rtuli meats of music, as well as the songs they sang, evinced careful work on the part of the teacher, and afforded tlie audience much pleasure, There were several solos, duets; etc., which would bear special mention, but our space is insufficient to do the occa¬ sion that justice. The duet entitled “You Can’t Play in Our Yard,” rep re senting tlie sunshine and shadows of childhood friendship, and sang by Mrs. J. T. McAllister and Miss Pearl Brow n, completely captured the audience. The ladies were appropriately costumed and presented quite a pretty appearance.

Eli Perkins, who made his fame as a prevaricator and humorist, showed a deptli of feeling and pathos utlsus peeted by his most intimate acquain¬ tances when he wrote the. following: A father talking to his careless daughter, said: “1 want to speak to you of your mother. It may he that you noticed a careworn look upon In r face. Of course it has not been brought there by any act of yours; still it is your duty to chase it away. 1 want you to get up to-morrow morn¬ ing and eat breakfast. When she comes and begins to express her sur¬ prise go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You can't imagine how it will brighten her dear face. “Besides, you owe her a kiss or two. Away back, when you were a little girl, she kissed you when no otic else was tempted by your fever-tainted breath and swollen face.. Aon were not as attractive then as you are now. Through years of childish sunshine and shadows she was always ready to cure, by the magic mother’s kiss, the little dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in those lirst skir¬ mishes with tin' rough old world. ‘•And then the midnight kisses with which she routed so many bad dreams, as she leaned over your restless pillow, have all been on interest these long “Of course she is. not so pretty and kiss,able as you are, bul if you bad done your share of the \v*rk during the last ten years the contrast would not lie so marked. “Her face has more wrinkles than yours. And yet if you were sick flint fact' would appear far more beautiful than an angel's as ii hovered over you, watching every opportunity to minis¬ ter to your comfort, and every one of those wrinkles would seem to he bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over the dear fnec. “She will leave you one of these days. These burdens, if not lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. These rough, hard hands which have done so many necessary things for you will he crossed upon her life¬ less breast. Those neglected lips, which gave, you your lirst baby kiss, will he forever closed, and those sad tired eyes will have opened in eternity, mill then you will appreciate your mother, but then if will he too late.” Ale iv Shoo sho|i.
