The EoLIAS MINISTRIES make their first appear
ance tonight at the Adelphi Theatre They come
among US with good reputation. We copy the
following remarks from the Memphis Wig in re-
gard to their capabilities:
The EoLIAN MINISTRIES This band of minstrels
are new candidates for favor before Memphis au-
dence, appearing here for the first time on Satur-
day night not, however, without their fame having
preceded them. Notwithstanding the nclemency
of the night, Odd Fellows Hall contained very
good and discriminating audience to greet them,
and their performances passed off well giving gen.
eral satisfaction. Their music both vocal and in
strumental, was good, while tie dancing was hard
to beat, and the rich buresques at the conclusion
could not be surpassed. Mr.. Deaves has good
voice, sings well, and has fine perception of mu-
sic; but Mr. Moore's solos on the flute captivated
the entire house and was richly worth the admis-
sion fee La Petite Azalene is certainly the sweet
est and most graceful danseuse for child, We ever
saw, and is perfect prodigy.
We have not time or space to speak Of other
members of the troupe, but ask the lovers of mu-
sic, mirth and laughter to attend their concerts,
during the present week.

Parody on the Above.

We do believe the following successful parody
on the above by J. G. PERclvAL one of our Am
erican poets.
Happy and free married mans reveries:
Cheerfally, merrily, passes his liie
He knows not the Bachelor revelries. deviltries
Carress'd by, and bless'd by his children and
wife,
From lasstude tree too; sweet home still TO flee to:
a pet on his knee, too, his kindness to share:
A treside so CHEEKY, the smiles of his deary-
0, this, boys, this is married mans fare
Wife kind as angel, sees things never range i'll,
Busy promoting his comfort around
Dispelling detection with smiles of affection:
SymPathzlng, advising. when fortune has
frown'd;
Old ones relating, droll tales never stating
Little ones pratling-all strangers to care:
Some romplng, some Jumping, some punching,
some munching,
Economy dealing the married mans fare.
thus Is each jolly day one lively holiday:
Not so the Bachelor lonely de,,ress'd-
NO gentle one near him, no home to endear him:
In sorrow to cheer him. no friend if no guest:
No children to climb up 'twould fill my rhyme up.
And take too much time up to tell his despair:
Cross housekeeper meeting him. cheating him.
beating him,
Bills pouring-maids securing, devouring nis
fare.
He has no one TO put on sleeve or neck button:
Shirts mangled to rags-drawers stringles at
knee;
The cook to his grief too spoils pudding and beef
too;
With overdone, underdone undone is he:
Nc son, still treasure in business or leisure:
No daughter, with pleasure, Lew joys to prepare
But old maids and cousins, kind souls rush in
dozens,
Relieving him soon from his bachelors fare.
He calls children apes sir,-lthe fox and the
grapes, sir,
And fan would be wed when his locks were
like snow;
But WIDOWS throw scorn out, and tell him he's
worn out;
And maiden's deriding, cry, "No, my love, nor
Old age comes, with sorrow, with wrinkle, with
tulrow.
No hope on nto-morroW-none sympathy spares:
And when unfit TO rise up, he look to the skies up
None close his old eyes up-he dies-and who
