Wilmington's Singers.

There is no class of persons who are
more appreciated than good singers.
If you have company to entertain you
can do it much more gracefully, if
your daughter who can play on the
instrument and sing sweet song will
kindly render her service. Fathers
should make all effort to cultivate the
musical taste Of their children; it furn-
ishes them with h0me amusement, and
qualities them to entertain their friends
where ever they are called to spend
an evening.

furnished with good singers, and in
every instance they have become
prominent in tlair profession through
the instructions thcy received at home.
