8. is beyond question, the finest performer ON the
flute that we ever had the pleasure of listening to-
while she little inferior to many of the most bril-.
liant stars as a vocalist. Extensive preparations
have been made for this concert and as the price Of
tickets is only fifty cents each we have no doubt the
hall will be crowded. Were Madame s. the merest
tyro on the flute, the fact that lady was to play
upon that instrument in public would doubtless
draw thousands to hear her; but when we tell our
readers that she far excels all other performers and
tnat neT assistants are eminent professors, can
not doubt for moment that every admirer of good
music VIII secure ticket and that Metropolitan Hall

THE WATCH OF OTHER DAYS

Il This Watch, with time has faded.
Its brightest hours have passed.
It's DER two years since cleaned
And it's running much too fast s
When first bought thee-a new one.
Its cases were bright az Sun rays;
But now it looks like an old one
IT'S the Watch of other days.
The hands and works are both dirty,
Not a vestige of polish is there;
While the cases are loose and easy.
And stand much in eed of repair
The crystal and dial are broken,
And it's time is not at all true;
So I'll go, without any jokin
And consult BILL BARTHOLOMEW
who is always to be found on Governor street n f.w
doors above the Dispoteh-which always contains
something new. i. 81
