Il Lively CRITICIsM.

The following musical criticism from
an Aurora Qll.) paper is full of strong
contemporaneous human interest:
"1he Kellogg concert, as might have
been anticipated, was largely attended.
The dollar freeze-out was rather rough
on the hoodlums, but the audience man
aged to exist without the customary
war-whoops. The divine Louise was as
resonant as usual, which, by the way,
she ought to be, being well-seasoned.
The editor of this paper makes no great
pretensions in the way of musical criti-
cism, but when genuine 5000 grand
spiral subsand-twist, back-action, self
adjusting, chronometer-bal full
jeweled, fourth-proof, rip-snorting con-
glomeration comes to town he proposes
to hump himself. Kellogg's diaphragm
has evidently not, like wine, improved
with old age. Her upper register is
upstairs near the skylight, while the
lower register is closed for repairs. The
aforesaid Kellogg performed her grand
triple act of singing, rolling the eyes
and talking to some one in the wings at
the same time. Her smiles at the audi
ence were calm, but determined, but
her smiles at the "feller" hid behind
the scenes were divine. Her singing,
when she condescended to pay any at
tention to the audience, to our critical
ear (the other ear being carefully folded
up), seemed to be blending of the
fortissimo crescendo dam-f-no-or care
either. Her costume was a harmonious
blending of the circus-tent and balloon
style. and was very gorgeous, barring a
tendency to spill some of the contents
out at the top. The italian part of the
business was as fdgety and furious as
usual, and demonstrated what early as
sociations with the hand-organ and
monkey will accomplish. The venera-
BILE and obese freak of nature, Brignoli,
was as graceful as usual. His appear
ance very nearly resembles stove in a
corner grocery, or water tank on a
narrow-g gauge railroad. He was no
fully appreciated until he turned to go
off the stage. He then appeared to his
best advantage, and to take an interest
in getting out of sight as soon as posi-
BILE, an effort in which he had the hearty
sympathy Of the audience"

W05nss FoR FHrY CHESTS.

Not eu3y hes the intellect of the
worm been sadly 1nappreciated for CEN
turies till Mr.. Darwin rehabilitated that
sagacious reptile, but it appears now
that his value as Wand has also been
grossly misunderstood and underrated.
A group of French gourmets, whose
object it is to do for the cookery of the
future what Wagner is doing for its
music, are happily following up the la
bors of Darwin in this direction, and,
having recently tried this tempting
mopsel, have communicated to a CRATE
fHl public the result of their first re-
searches. Fifty guests were present at
the experiment.. The worms, appar-
emily lob+worms, were first put into
vinegar, by which process they were
made to disgorge the famous vegetable
mold about which we have heard SO
much. They we're then rolled in batter
and put into an even, where they ac-
qu1red delightful golden tint, and, we
are assured. most appetizing smell.
After the first plateful the fifty guests
rose like one man and asked for more.
Gould anything be more convincing ?
Those who love snails, they add, will
abandon them forever in favor of worms.
And yet NJ. Nonselet, the great author
ity in Paris, has told us sadly that no
advances have been made in the great
art of cookery since Bri1lat- -SaTarin,
and that all enthusiasm on the subject
died out with Vatel when he committed
suicide because the fish had not arrived

YOUNGSTERS.
BY JOHN VANCE CHENEY.

Golden hair and eyes of blue
What won't they do?-what won't they dor
Eyes of blue and locks of gold
My boy, you'll learn before you're old,
The gathered foot, the tapered waist
Be not in haste, be not in haste;
Before your chin sprout twenty spear,
My word for t, youngster, they'll appear.
Raven hair and eyes of night
Undo the boys; and t serves 'eIn right
Eyes of night and raven hair,
They'll drive you, lad, to sheer despair.
The dropping curl, the downward glance.
They're only waiting for the chance;
At nick of time they'll sure appear,
Depend upon it, laddie dear.
Shapely hands and arms Of snow,
They know their charm, my boy, they know;
FIe3ile wrists and fieckless hands,
The lass that has them understands.
The cheeks that blush. the lips that smile
A little while. a little while
Before you know it, they II be hers,
And catch you Mapping, laddie dear
Hands. and hair, and lips, and eyes,
Tis thaEe the tgrp'e danger lies,
YouT meet them leagued. or one by one
In either case the nisohief's done.
A touch, tress, glance. a sigh.
And then, my boy, good -by-good-hJ

gentleman who owned the picture gal
lery married her, he being 10 at the
time. So that the old gentleman's
father-in-law was, as he said, alive in
the time of James II. But as this
father-in-law had son-in-law many
years oder than he was, this gave the
old gentlemen a brother-in-law who
would have been 257 years old if he had
lived until 1881. AS this brother-in-law
died soon after his marriage, his young
widow married again, and had son
who was born ninety-one years before
his uncle (by marriage) was born, SO
that old gentleman was not lunatic,
unless it was when at the age of 10 he
married a woman nearly 60 years older
