SKIPr & GAYLoRD's MINsrRELs.-On Saturday
afternoon last, in accordance With very oourte-
ous invitation extended by the above named
troupe, the officers and pupils OF the Charleston
orpnanhouse. numbering three hundred and
twenty, accompanied by several Of the oommis-
sioners OF that admirable Institution, were pres
ent at the matinee announced BY advertisement
Notwithstanding the inclemency OF the weather
the audience was considerably enlarged by tho
presence OF & soOdly number Of juveniles and
their adult friends, attracted, no doubt, by the
admirable programme selected for the occasion;
and amply were all repaid for their attendance.
The music, vocal and instrumental, was of high
order, and rarely is the opportunity offered for
the enjoyment OF such combined sweetness and
harmony. Amusing stories and burnt-cork wit
eniiyened the performance, which was varied by
pantomine, dancing, phantasmasoria and "dls-
solving Vows" The company have LEFT to fulfil
engagements In our sister cities of the South,
where we trust, they will meet with the success
TO which their talents and their lIberaty 80 rich.

A POSER.

Billings the celebrated musical COM
poser, boasted there was no point COLI
nected with the science of music that
he did not understand. A wag sent
him a note, requesting an interview
with him, on particular day, to con-
suit about difficult question in mu-
sic, which he said no other man could
answer. Billings promptly met him
and said to him:
"Whateyer your question may be,
pledge myself to answer it, as there
is nothing connected with the science
have not mastered
my question is all important one,
replied the wag, with the most seri.
Gus face imaginable; "indeed it af.
fects the whole world, and has never
yet been answered" lNslllali
"Let me hear it," said Billings
growing excited.
alt is this" said the other; "whel
a man snores in his sleep through tw'
octayes, SO that the whole house cal
hear it, do you consider the sound
produced to be vocal or instrumen

1HE PRounEsr LADY.
The Queen is proud on her throne,

The Queen is proud ON her throne,
And proud are her maids 80 fine,
Blu. the proudest lady that ever was known,
Is q little lady of mine.
And OH she houts me, she houts mel
And spGirns and scorns and scouts me!
Though drop on my knee and sue for grace,
And beg and beseeeh with the saddest face,
Still ever the same she doubts me.
She is seven by the calendar, :
A lily's almost as tall;
But ah this little lady's by far
The proudest lady of all. "a
It's her sport and pleasure TO aost me. -
To spurn and scorn, and scout mel
But ali, I've notion it's nought but play,
And that, say what she viii and feign what she
may,
She can't well do without
When she rides on her nag, away,
BY park, road and river,
In alittle hat so jaunty and gay,
oh! then she's prouder than ever,
And oh! what faces what facesi
What petulant. pert grimacesi
Why the very pony prances and winks,
And tosses his head. and plainly thinks
He may ape her airs and graces.
But at times like pleasant tune,
Asw,eter mood o'ertakes her;
OH then she's sunny skies of june
And ali her pride forsakes her.
oh. she dances around me so fairly!
Oh! her laugh rings out so rarely,
3 oh. she coaxes, and nestles, aud purrs, and
prizes,
In my puzzled face with her two grea1 eyes,
And own she loves me dearly.
Ahl the Queen is proud on her throne,
And proud are her maidens SO fine;
But the proudest lady that ever was known,
Is this little lady of mine.
Good iackl she fiouts me, she fouts mel
She spurns, and scorns, and scouts me!
But an I've notion it's nought but play,
And that, say what she will and think what she
may,
She can't well do without me.

A coon YANKEE STORY.

A Yankee story, heard by us some
two years ago in England, may not
be new to our readers, since its "tex-
tur" seems to show the cis-Atlantic |
loom. In our opinion, however, it is
so good we are tempted to give it at
the risk of its being repetition
An American-a veritable "deown
Easter" and not to be mistaken for
any other stripe-was riding in an
England railway carriage, his sole
companion being an Englishman,
equally unmistakable as typical
"John Bull They were strangers to
each other, and had travelled some
FIVE miles or more without word
passing between them.
The whistle was heard, interrupting
the unsocia meditations, when the
Yankee, whose curiosity could not
any longer be kept in restraint, asked
what it was for.
"Aw-aw!" yawned the Britisher.
" Signall we are going to stop at
station
j Jonathan crammed his neck out of
the window, but could see no sign of
station. He said so to his travelling
companion.
"Of course you can't see it," was
the reply. "It's more than five miles
from heaw. Our railways make such
speed, it is absolutely necessary to
sound the signal five miles off, to give
the engineer time to stop off his steam,
q put on the bweak, and suspend the
motion. 1 pwesume you don't make
such speed on the other sine of the At
wantic ?"
Wal, stranger" somewhat tartly
rejoined Jonathan, seeing that his ma
tionality was discovered, eve make
