A BosroxrAN's BET.

A young man in Bosten remarked to a
leading comedian of one of the popular
theatres that he was anxious to attend one
of Mime. Adelina PATHS concerts-the

oily of these foreign artists, and yet must
hear Home, Sweet Home and above all

youth.
"But how, my dear fellow You don't

"Wel, I'll write to her, and 1 bet I'll

that 1t would be the sincere wish of his life
to once again hear the beloved song of his
old friend.

But the amusing part of the story is yet
to be told. The young man went to the
concert NATURALLY shaky, in fear the seat
might have been marked that was to be &C.
cupled by the psucdo-companien of Payne,
in the event of which an interview was in
evitable concerning the last moments of
the author of Home" As he was pro-
ceeding to his seattle third from the
aisle-an old gentleman was about to seat
himself on the first seat. With presence
of mind, our young friend remarked to
the elder party that he had better take the
seat that he was to occupy, as it was far
more desirable, and that as he was TO go out
several times during the concert he would
be sure to greatly Inconvenience him. At
ter few selections an usher approached
and remarked to the old gentleman that
Mime. Patti requested his presence behind
the scenes, much to the old party's aston.
ishment. He demonstrated, remarking that
he was at a loss to understand the diyais,
request, but at length he complied. There
he was cordially received as the old COM
panion of John Howard Payne, and the.
situation can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Well, the old gentleman's hesrt'

she has succeeded in gaining the counted
wealth. He denies that he has become
