YAlae OF q Voice.

There 10 almost always this conso-
lation in store for the possessor OF a
singing voice, no matter how trifiDg
it may be: that q livelihood may be
gained by it. Ifyou cannot be a Nils
son, or Patti, q Faure or q Santley,
you are at least pretty sure OF a situa-
ton as concert singer; for these arr
lists are OF all grades Of ability. 1t
may seem a terrible thing that a
singer should aim at grand opera and
succeed in hitting nothing higher than
the stage Of variety theatre; but as q
practical person l should say that it
certainly would be better for voice
worker to do that than remain needle
woman or q shop girl-for the simple
reason that a popular singer in a vari-
ETY. theatre receives an income worth
that a dozen needle or shop
girls. 1t may surprise my readers to
learn that such singer receives sew"
enty- five or hundred dollars a week ;
but it is true. Those who are recog-
nized as first-class stars OF that sphere
are even paid two hunded dollars and
upwards; but these are men and wo-
men OF special talent for comedy as
we'll as vocslism. The most ordinary
singers of this class-mere fair-faced
girls with email voices and smaller
culture-get twenty or thirty dollars a
week. How many needlewomen or
shop-girls earn as much.
Between the variety theatre and the
grand opera house what a world OF
various opportunities lies And what
abundance OF talent has grown from
the lower grades to the higher! Ade-
lima Patti rising from q concert troupe,
and Christine Nilsson from outdoor
singing in the streets Of the cities OF
her native land, are familiar examples
OF one sort Castle, the graceful tenor,
and Gam pbell, the high bass, rising
from the stage OF q minstrel troupe,
are equally familiar examples o.another
sort. The great point with singers, az
with other workers, is always 10 strive
10 do their work ,ceN. Then the result
will be worthy, whatever the scene.
Parepa- Rosa employed every shade OF
her perfect art in singing Five o'clock
in the morning" as faithfully as she
did when singing in An opera or an
oratorio.-OEve Logan, in The GALAXY
for June.

The handmade hearing the muss came
rushing up stairs so fast that the lamp was
extinguished, and arrived in the kitchen
just in time to get kicked in the pit of the
stomach by one of the struggling men on
the floor, and dropping the lamp and plate
of doughnuts she had in her hands, she,
too, doubled up with shrek of pain and
fell on the floor in a hysterical fit.
Mrs. Springer, who was only half-awake,
heard her husband yell murder, and bound
ing out Of bed came sliding down stairs in
a sitting posture, and as she entered the
kitchen, from whence came sounds of
deadly strife, curses and shrieks, the cat,
which had partially caused the trouble, bolt
ed through the window, and before Mrs. s.
could collect her senses, the hired girls
beau had succeeded in getting out Of Spring
er's grasp and followed the cat through the
same aperture. The hand maid hearing
her lover escape arose, procured light,
when Springer ceased pounding tho armful
of clothing he thought was the burglar, and
general council was held to discuss war
matters. Result:-Springer is called fool
and an idiot, by Mrs. s. and the girl, for
thinking there was a burglar in the house;
the broken lamp, spilled doughnuts and
fractured window sash are charged up to
the cat, whilst Mrs. s., who had not fully
recovered from her trip down stairs, says
the next time she wants a cat put out of
the house she will do it herself. A man
don't know how to do anything anyhow,
nor never did"

Sustain the Sinking System.
April 4, 1874.

The flashes Of ex element produced by the
stimulants u ordinary use, are followed by q
reaction that is always more or less iDjuri-
Gus. Just as the darkness, illuminated for q
moment by the lightning's glare, becomes APP
parentIy blacker than ever after The fash is
over, so the mental gloom and physical debili-
" that vanish temporarily under the influence
Of dram, return with O ten-fold intensity
when the 6rst transient effect ceases. Yet
physicians habitually subscribe the liquors Of
commerce for patients suffering from bodily
weakness and mental dependency. The true
remedy in such cases is a pure stimu!ant med
icated with the finest tonics and alternatives
which the vegetable kingdom affords, and Hos
tetter's Stomach Btters is tho only prepara-
ton al present known which thoroughly meets
the emergency. The effect Of this popular
restorative is continuous. Each dose taken
invigorates the vital energies and the brain,
and its prolonged use will unquestionably cure
any case Of debility, hyPochondria, or mental
torpidlty that does not arise from organic
causes beyond the reach Of medicine. II is,
in the strictest sense of the word, an invigora-
ting and regulating cordial. If the nerves are
tremulous and relaxed, it braces them; if the
bowels are coDstipated, it relieves them; II the
liver is torpid, il promotes activity In that or
gan; if the miud is gloomy, it clears away the
clouds; il the appetite is poor and digestion
slow and painful operation, it creates relish
for food and enables the stomach 10 convert IL
into healthful aliment. Moreover, it is spe-
cifc for large number of ailments, some Of
which are particularly prevalent in the damp
and chilly weather which we so often expert
ence in mid winter. Among these may be
mentioned rheumatism, chills and fever and
all the morbid conditions of the digestive and
secre,ve organs superinduced by sudden
changes of temperature and the inelemencies
Of the season.
