FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 81, 1881.


There is now in Boston a remarkable boy
OF whom You will hear a great deal in few
| years, II he fulfil5 the promise he now exhi-
| bits. His name is Milo Benedict his home
is in Vermont. He has shown great musical
talent ever since he could walk alone; he is
now thirteen years old. Ills only instruc-
ton up to year ago was received from his
mother; then she brought him to Boston and
consulted Carlyle Petersilea in regard to his
education. After hearing him play Mr. Pc
tersilea requested the pleasure and honor of
giving the boy free instruction. | met him
ut private house where he was informally
invited, with two other boys his quiet, gen
tie manners won us all at once. Later in the
evening we asked him to play; he sat down
at the piano at once and played snowy
but meretricious composition by request of
one of his boy friends still it showed lis
wonderful execution and technique
One of us asked who was his favorite COM
poser, and he instantly answered Chopin"
whereupon We set before him that exquisite
nocturne in G minor. lie said he had never
played it but twice before, yet he played it
beautifully. We were hushed into reverence
| asked him if he knew the companion noe
turne in & major This one Z" he said,
striking the first notes. We had not the
music, but he played it through without
notes; every musician knows it is one of the
most difficult of ChOpin's intrlcatesto memo
rize. lie played it more exquisitely than |
have ever heard it on concert stage by the
greatest modern planists. After this We
were prepared for anything; he gave us
any Chopin composition we asked; and
while he played his sweet boy face looked
absolutely angelic. He received our praises
with quiet little smile, and without any
trace of vanity. He played several of his
own compositions, all of them showing
genuine ialent-one, caLse caprice, was par
"cularly brilliant. He has given three or
:our public recitals during the season, of
strictly classical compositions, and playing
without notes. Although often hOnored
With double cncores he is always the same
Iuiet, modest boy. There is no doubt that
lie has brilliant future before him - Boston

gracious protection, desiring to be hence

they have appealed for the Righteousness
OF their cause ; to thee do they now look
up for that countenance and support
which thou alone canst give; take them,
therefore, heavenly Father, under thy
nurturing care give them wisdom i'll
