ARTEMUS WARD HEARS PATTI.

The sage of Baldinsville fayors us with
the following critical notice of PATHS con-
cert last evening:
The moosic which Ime most use to is the
inspirin stranes of the hand origin. | hire
artistic Italyun to grind fur me, payin him
his vittles & close, & spose it was them
stranes which first put moosicle taste into
me. Like all furriners he has seen better
dase, having formerly bin Kount. But
he ant of much akount now, except to turn
the origin and drink Beer, of which bevrige
he can hold churnfull easy.
Miss Patty is small fur her size, but as
the man sed abowt his wife, 0 Lord She
is we'll bilt & her complexshun is what mite
be called a Broonetty. Her ise is dark
bay the lashes bein long & silky. When
she smiles the awjince feels like akin her to
don it sum moor, and to continner dom 1T
to indefuit ixtent. Her waste is l of the
most bootiful wastisis ever seen. When
Mister Strackhorse led her out | thawt sum
pretty skool gal, who had jest graduated
pantelets & wire hoops, was comm out to
read her furst compensation in public. She
cum so bashful like, with her he'd how'd
down, Il made such effort to arrange her
lips so they'd look pretty that wanted to
sWaller her. She reminded me of Susan
Skinner, who'd never kiss the boys at parin
bees till the candles was blow'd out. Miss
Patty sung suthin or ruther in furrin tung
| don't know what the sentimunts was. Fur
aut | know she may have bin denouncin my
wax fggers & sagashus wild beasts of Pray,
& | don't much keer if she did. When she
opend her mowth army Of martingales,
bobolinks, kanarys, swallers, mockin birds,
etsetery, burst 4th & few all over the Haul.
Go it little l, says | to myself, in hily
existed frame of mind, & ef that koupt or
royal duke which you'll be pretty apt to
marry l of these dase don't do the fair
thing by ye, yu kin always hav home on
A. Verbs farm, near Baldinsville, IUjianny.
When she sung Cumin threw the Rye, &
spoke of that Swayne she deerly luvd her,
self individoouly, didn't wish | was that
are Swayne. No guess not. Oh certain
ly not. (This ls ironicul. I don't mean
this. It's way have of goakin) Now
J that Maria Pcklehominy has got married
} (Which I hope she likes it) and left the per-
! feshen, Addelina Patty is the championess
of the opera ring. She karries the Belt.

donnys may as we'll throw mp the spunje

ear>site in the matter.
But Miss Patty ortor sing in the lnglish
c tung. As she kin do so as well as she kin
: in Italyun, why under the son don't she dc
r it? What cents is thar in singin wurds no
9 body don't understand, when wurds we dc
f uuderstan is jest as handy? Why peplc

It but the brine didn tmoove inch. 1t stadt
