PoETICAL READIHes.--Mrs. Emily p. Lesdernier
gives readings from the poets next Saturday night
at Carusi's Saloon. A s an elocutionist, she has
deservedly high name. One way to account for
her success is, that she is herself poet of some
standing, and accordingly enters into the spirit of
every thing she attempts. Her conceptions, as a
general thing, are very correct and her renditons
Of the various parts she attempts accordingly good
We are glad to see that she appears before us
In all the dignity of matron, eschewing the prev
slent nonsensical custom of coming before us as a
Miss. And this shows that she belongs to the
