The concert and readings which formed the mi

ric mellifluous effect, while her versatility was
exempliied IN droll rendering Of the quaint
parody "Pyramus and Thsbe." The alag of
our Land" and the "Battle of Foutenoy," as she
uttered them, were considered by many as worth
the price of a season ticket. The singing was
also good.

A man who lately met Mrs Lucinda H. Stone,
who is travelling in Europe with her school of
twenty-seven young ladies, gives quite descrip-
ton of the american Beauties" as he calls
them He thinks if Mrs. Stone gets safely back
with them all, she will be a lucky woman, and
the men abroad have not the taste he gives
them credit for. She is quick and viglant, and,
he asks what can one poor woman do with a
bevy of yonnS girls who are playful as kittens,
as full of lrolic, and careless of consequences
Their manners, and the freedom with which
they converse with all classes when they can,
make them general favorites, and this "only
adds to the danger of the experiment"
