A Truly Good Young Man.

man with soap-locks probably, was en-

accustomed to drink wine and ale at home.
Mr.. Hurst didn't want any liquor about
his house, and Miss Wynne promised to
give it up, but just before the day appoint
ed for the wedding she wrote him tits
little note: Dear Tom; About the drink,
and YOU not allowing it to come into
your house. Ny mother has always let

The Camilla Urso concert at Norway,
last Monday night, was the event of the
season to Oxford county people. Though
the mercury was below zero and the wind
tlew a gale, parties were present from
Oxford, Buck6eld. Waterford and the
neighboring villages.
A very attractive programme, consist.
ing Of dozen pieces, was presented,
which, with frequent eneores, furnished
nearly two hours entertainment. Of
course, everybody went to hear Madame
UrsO, but most were unprepared for the
rich treat which she presented to them
Such ease, before an audience, is seldom
seen. The moment her bow touched the
violin, she seemed TO forget that many
hundred ewes were gazing at her, and as
many ears were strained to catch every
tone. She and her violin seemed to Occu-
nv the room alone. The snoOthness of
tone, the perfection Of time, the grace Of
notion the beauty aud power Of express
sion all combined 10 sustain her reputa-
ton as the queen yiolinist. She made
the audience laugh aloud, she held them
in perfect silence and almost made them
weep, simply by the expression Of her
playing.
Miss Clara Doria, native of Maine,
We believe, accompanied the troupe as
vocal sOloist. She has a good voice, es.
reoially in the upper tones, but her stage
uaDuers and expression are not as attrac-
tive as could be desired.
MIR. FeSsenden, Names pet tenor, was
present also, and sang some Of his most
beautiful songs. He was suffering some
from hoarseness, but the audience would
give him no rest from encores.
Mr.. Rudolphsen, basso, has fine voice,
and Is an excellent comic actor, The
audience was convulsed by his intona.
lions and gyrations. However amusing
such actions may be, We consider them
entirely ont of place IN concert of this
character. They tend to debase music
and DO more to cultivate an impure mu-
steal taste than can be corrected by many
excellent performances.
Mr.. Auguste Sauret presided at the
piano. He played excellently, but the
audience had ears for only one instrument
-MAdame's violin. LAbOring under this
disadvantage, the gentleman is entitled to
much praise, which the audience did not
fee inclined TO bestow.
This concert has done much for musical
culture in Oxford county, and We are
glad to learn that the managers were well
rewarded for the effort they made to Sc
cure this 6rst-class entertainment for our
people.
we are pleased to see that the Lewis
ton Jollr1lal gives RudOlphsen Just such
a lecture as MS performance deserves, in
