Criticism Of Col. Pines.

The reader must laugh at the following
criticism upon Sontag and Alboni, from
the New York Sunday Mercury. The
production is certainly worth preserving,
for it is readable emi-occasionalIy.
Having herd these two ilIustrous sing
ers, we proceed to give the publick the
benefit of our opinion, promising first, that
the turns we make use of will be under
stood by our reeders. Alboni, from the
fust, struck us hard, but did not hurt us; {;
her voice gurgling up as it does from the
innermost depths of her resp!endent bo-
som, frizzled in dreamy voluptousness
through the warbling kadenses of her
a kcntrolio of the highest order. Her in
verted distances are really immense, and
the ease with which the roolards of the
definite 5th, coming on the domnunt, are
worked go that the mezzo-tinto quality is
artlessly swollen in the inverted passage,
taking in its compass three octaves, four
flutes and fagolet. She sings H with
perfect distinction, and her low A wos
very fine indeed. Her shake resembled
the feathery Pickering of some ortumnal
Bird. as it gides through the admantine
meafderfngs of some eornothologcal mead
ow, while her sustenooto died away upon
the left ear like the magic humming Of a
large or meffiuous bee. We never shall
forget it. Sontag, on the contrary, makes
US almost Tx Marvel, possessing as she
dus, a voice of such f1exsabiity, using no
rat-traps to asstonish her orditary. She
run up the kramatic scale, taking the dou-
bel stops and accidental fifteenths in one
breth, while the trpley wsrbiiugness of
her descending passage wos received with
perfect delight. She evidently belongs to
good school-say Spingler Institute -
The few-roar she created in that gem of
Doctor Arne, "The soldier tired of loos-
ing his arms" was perfektly orful, so
much so that we teered the Light Gard
would have to be korld in. We made our
mind up that her voice could be herd with
ease at the farthest end of the Hall &
Sons, Broadway; and that her powers of
extenuatiug note for GO or 90 days, had
never fully tried. Her shake on the dom
inant key of K miner, left us nuthing more
to desire; and her cadence as she took the
major cord E, in the audaunty afectuoso
con amore allegro ad hbitum passage drew
down thunders of applause. She made
CRATE hit.

How TO EAT GRAPEs.-Few people
know how to eat grapes. Some swallow
pulp, seeds, and the skin; others swallow
only the pulp, ejecting both seeds and
skin. In conversation with DR.. Under
hill on this subject, he advised to observe
the following rules:-
"When in health, swallow only the
pulp. When the bowels are costve, and
you wish TO relax them, swallow the seeds
with the pulp, eJecting the skin. When
you wish to check too relaxing state of
the bowels, swallow the pulp with the
skins, ejecting the seeds. Thus may the
grape be used as medicine, whilst at the
same time it serves as luxury unsur-
passed by any other fruit. An adult may
eat from three to four pounds day with
benefit. 1t is we'll to take them with, or
Immediately after your regular meals"

The latest advices from Sicily repre-
sent the eruption of Etna as continuing in
full vigor. Three craters have been
thrown up 5,292 feet above the level of
the sea, and are necessarily ejec,ing sand,
ashes, flame and lava. On the com
mencement Of the convulsion, immense
columns of fire issued from the crater at
the summit of the cone 1 400 feet above
the sea. In some places huge mountains
of lava have formed by the floods, which
have poured over each other, congealing
together in a solid mass. The seat of the
eruption is OH the east side of the noun
tain in the plain of Giannacola, which
part, in consequence of its exemption
from similar catastrophe for 500 years,
has become one of the most productive
regions in the island.

HEART WISHES.

would not wear golden crown,
Nor reign upon thrones
But DER one true and loving heart
would be queen alone.
would not have q servile throng
Press round to bow the knee r
But one light, free, and eager step,
Haste homeward unto me.
would not hear the stirring shout
OF plaudits far and wide
But list a soft voice gently speak
My name at eventide.
would not have a sumptuous couch,
When pain had laid me low
But one dear arm to fold my form,
One hand to press my brow.
would not have proud marble piled
Upon my lowly head
But simple stone, and grassy mound,
And one to weep me dead.
would not have the breath of fame
Attempt my worth to prove
But would have one warm heart keep
The memory of my love-
would, belov'd to thee and me,
The priceless pearl be given,
That thy true heart may meet mine own,
And each love each in heaven.

We close our short absiact of this most interesting
report, with an extract from that part of it by the
worthy chaplain.
When we remember how little salutary parental
influence has been exerted over these youth, it is
not surprising that they sometimes fail to listen to
toe word Of warning and reproA, and turn away
without feeling its force and acting upon the sugges-
tions OF their better nature. Having been accus-
toned by turns to harsh language and brutal treat
ment and then to almost unlimited indulgence or
neglect, they are led to expect the from those
who are placed over them and often become con-
scous Of their error only when they discover the
effects ofa better discipline in their conduct,
and in that of those around them, who have been
their former associates in crime. "If | had been
taught to lead different life by my PARENTS" said
one in whom radical change seems to have been
eiected," "I DO not believe should ever have been
so bad boy" This plain, yet simple and touching
declaration would express the irresistible convictions
of not few. 1t will be seen, therefore, that firm
bat generous parental watch.care will do much
toward giving proper direction to the mind and
the work well begun, may be carried forward with
increasing ease and pleasure.

PARsoN BRowNLow makes the followino
reply to remark of one of his exchanges, that
the parson is prone to discomfort, and SO desr-
Gus of having things his own way, that he would
quarrel with the angels in Heaven
expect to go to heaven when I die, but
whether | create any discord'' there or not
depends upon affirmative answers to the following
questions:
Will there be any Senatorial elections there
Will the nominations Of candidates take place in
caucus! And if SO, will any faction attempt to
cast any more votes than it is entitled to! In
either case will raise row. But those with
whom am at war in this world, need have no
fears of being involved, as they are not likely to
get there!

- An English paper says that the cause of an
advance in the price of hides which took place
in May last, and subsequent depression in Octo-
Der, was the great demand for jellies by visitors
at the Crystal Palace, and the cessation of the
demand at the close of the exhibition; as the usu-
al material was not available, buffalo hides were
purchased in large quantities at Liverpool for the
purpose of making these decacies Size and
glue were used at first, but the hides were found
to be cheapest.

Cold weather.

For the past three days, the weather has averaged
colder than upon any three days since 1886. The
storm of Saturday and Sunday ragged with great Sc
verify unusually large extent of country ,and IN
every direction we hear of the detention Of trains,
and suspension of travel, by reason Of the immense
amount Of snow which has fallen. AT Philadelphia
the Delaware is biockaded with ice, and at New
York, yesterday morning the East River was frozen
so hard that people walked across to Brooklyn in
safety. The ferry boats of course were frozen in,
and The regular Sound boats, connecting with Fall
River, Norwich and Stonnington, could not make
their usual trips. The steamer Georgia from Cha
gres, which arrived on Tuesday, also prevented
by the ice from coming up. In this city the lowest
temperature noted, was ten degrees below Zero
AT LOWELL on Tuesday morning, the mercury fell
TO 20 degrees below zero, and at Salem IA below.
A correspondent Of the Traveller says that on Fri
day morning the 10th inst, the Spirit glass at Fran
coma, N. H., was 36 degrees below zero. The Mer-
curry glass soas frozen Could it have sustained the
cold, it would have indicated about 43 or A below
zero, as it ranges from to degrees lower in cold
weather, and from to degrees higher in warm
weather than the Spirit Gasst At Philadelphia on
Tuesday morning, the thermometer stood at de-
grees below zero, the lowest temperature 1t had
reached in that city for twenty years.
