A Singer Among the Lunatics.

Charles Lamb once remarked confiden-
TALLY that one Of the pleasantest things he
knew of was to do good deed by stealth,
and have it found out by accident. Re-
Numbering this, we are emboldened to ex-
tend the publicity of an incident that lately
occurred in the city of Utica, and which
we have just heard charmingly narrated by
a warm friend of the leading actor On the
occasion.
1t appears that on the day of Miss Clara
Louise kellogg's recent concert in Utica,
it was proposed to show that young lady
the State Lunatic Asylum. While there,
she kindly sang to roomful of the more
quiet patients, very much to their surprise
and delight. Not content with gratifying
these, however, she begged that She might
be allowed to visit the more unbalanced
patients. "Let me sing to the mad pee
ple,' she pleaded. Winning consent, and
accompanied by some of the Faculty, their
ladies, and the natron, she proceeded to
the wards where the most noisy and de-
structive subjects we're confined. One
would think her voice would have failed
her at the dreadful sounds that greeted her
entrance, at the glaring eyes turned upon
her, and the indications Of wrath in those
poor, ungoverned faces. Not so. The
brave-hearted girl knew her power. In an
instant all discord and tumult was hushed
under the spell of that marvellous voice.
1t rose and fioated above the poor, distract
ed creatures like blessing then seemed
to fall upon their upturned, listening faces
in a soft, refreshing shower of musical rain.
The effect was wonderful. The souls Of
those stricken women were not 50 utterly
out of tune after all, but that they could
respond now. Some smiled, some nodded,
and some gazed at her with streaming eyes.
"She is an angel - cried one. 1" Yes, she
is an angel!' echoed others, as they crowd
ed about her, eager but to touch gently her
hand, her gown, or even her feet while
she, happy and fearless, made no effort to
escape.
''She is my girl my Estelle " cried an
old woman suddenly. ''She locks like
her. She sings like her! Let me kiss
her. - and Louise Kellogg bent and kissed
the poor, crazed creature, almost as if she
were indeed Estelle.
Verify it is a good thing to be child Of
song. After this, let not the staid ones
frown when this sweet-voiced girl makes
music before the gayly filled sofas Of an
opera-house. 1t may be very wrong, per-
haps, and she may turn the heads of the
audience. But one thing is sure we
know now that she will 60 just as smilingly
into places where there is no brightness nor
gayety, where hundreds Of poor heads are
turned already, and awaken something so
like peace and sweetness among them that
they shall cry: "We cannot let her go -
She is an ANGEL

Two Washington ladies, one an Amer
lean, the other a foreigner, have specially
distinguished themselves during the season
for this extreme usage of the "corsage
cut low The latter received quite a
pointed rebuke at an entertainment lately
She was languidly eating an ice, leaning
back on sofa, while gentleman languished
at her side. Another gentleman, after
watching the pretty little scene, took a
':tidy" from chair, and, going up to the
lady, deliberately adjusted it round her
neck, saying he was afraid she would spill
the ice on her handsome dress.
When may two people be said to be
half-witted? When they have an under

WHY Don't You LEARN A TRADE p
This question was propeunded in our hear
ing few minutes since, to young man
who had been for several months unsuccess-
fully seeking employment as clerk or
salesman in some of our leading houses
complaining Of his ill luck, one of his
friends, who knew he had mechanical talent,
but doubtful whether he could make him
self useful either as clerk or salesman,
put the question to him, which we have
placed at the head Of this article. The
reply was, that trade was not SO respecta-
BILE as mercantile occupation. Under
this delusive idea, our stores are crowded
with young men who have no capacity for
business and who, because of the fancied
responsibility of doing nothing, waste
away their minority upon salaries which
cannot possibly liquidate their expenditures.
Late, too late in life, they discover their
error, and before they reach the age of
thirty, many of them look with envy upon
the thrifty mechanic, whom in the days of
their boyhoed, they were accustomed to
deride The false views Of responsibility
which prevail in the fashionable society Of
the present day, have ruined thousand of
young men, and will ruin thousands more.
