Familiar Talks

The familiar talk" given last Thurs
day night by Prof. Putmey was not as
largely attended as could have been
wished. The subject, "Thoughts,
Reading, Companions" the speaker
said might be construed to mislead the
reader concerning the talk he had out
lined for the occasion. The outward
expression of faces he deemed the true
index nf the thoughts going on within
ones mind it was the mirror of the
soul. Overhearing the conversation of
two young men, one evening, and upon
seeing their faces afterwards, the exact
expression indicated by their language
was Enthusiastically depicted there. How
essential chen, he claimed, that the
reading and companions of youth be
pure, that the physical as well as
mental assume Il healthy growth. He
regretted the small attendance ~ he
had hoped to go more fully into the
subject, believing there We're many
youth in our midst who could he bene-
fitted thereby. At the close of the
talk slips of paper we're given out for
names of those wishing to join evening

funds to enlarge the institute to the
end that il may be more useful. He
attests TO the natural ability of the col
ored people, their general integrity,
great thirst for knowledge, and rapid
advancement, given an even chance.
The introductory remarks as well as
the closing part of the address was
interesting and finely put, and must
have left the impression that the Chris
tian people of the North are especially
neighbors to the colored race in the
South, in the same sense as in Christ's
time. when he made the lawyer who
questioned him admit the great and
important truth that all mankind are
neighbors to the humblest and lowH-
est who are in distress or need.

great timber tracts near Fabyan's in
New Hampshire and afterward at
Groton Pond, VT. He was always
deeply interested in the business, social
and religious prosperity of his village
home. The Congregational church at
Wells River owes an untold debt of
gratitude to him for his generous finan-
cial aid, for his leadership of the choir,
and for his religious work in prayer
meetings and Sabbath school. His
death has cast a gloom over the whole
community. His wife, Mary Butler,
daughter of Luther Butler, Esq, of

son only survives. .-..

Decided Musical Treat.

The first concert of the Y. NJ. G.. A.
course was given in Music hall last
Friday night, and was pronounced by
all present ii grand musical treat At
the hour of opening, the hall was filled
with an appreciative audience as the
frequent and prolonged applause at
the close of the several performances
conclusively showed. The finishing
piece, "llOme,' was fittingly appro-
pirate aud showed the company at
their best. Chevalier DeKontski's
rendition of Faust Fantastic, and
Reveil du Lion, brought out storms OF
applause, all cnncediug him to be one
of the great, if not the greatest pianist
they ever heard His manner of coming
on and going off the stage even,
stamped him an artist. All the mem
beers of the company without an eX-
ceptiOn, are fine singers and were
warmly received.
Thus far the progress of the Y. NJ
G. A. course is suspicious, and should
the succeeding numbers on the list
come up to the present high standard
the association may well feel proud OF
furnishing our people with Il valuable
entertaining and instructive series oI
winter entertainments.
