The st. Cecilia quartette will mako their
next appearance at the Congregational church
Friday evening in concert given under the
auspices of the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation. They will be assisted on that occa-
sion by the Y. NJ. c. A. orchestra, who will
furnish the instrumental music including a
violin solo by Prof. r. c. Bernays, leader of
the orchestra. At the first appearance of the
st. Cecilia quartette at their concert in the
above named church, some time since, they
were greeted with an absolutely overlowing
house, many being turned away, and the
keen appreciation of that vast and critical
audience was hattering. At their concert
given in Richmond, Feb. 8, the enthusiasm
was such that they were called upon to re-
main for matinee the following day, and at
the late Peabody symphony concert in Balti-
more they were received with so much favor
that they sang five times before leaving the
stage, and finally retired amid almost deaf
ening applause. Judging from these facts it
is safe to predict another overAowing house
for them Friday evening.

Mr.. Frccand. who j. tall, dignilicd
gentleman. with blonde hair and sky
blue eyes. has been desperately in love
with the Young lady for six months.
Julia is n beautiful creature. of the
ethereal order. but her teeth were pre-
maturcly aged. James during the long
courtship wondered why his dearest
smiled 50 seldom. One evening She blush
ingly confessed the truth. Without delay
the chiyalrous young man escorted her
TO prominent dentist, and at his own
expense provided her with full set of
pearly grinders.
The effect was startling. Julia was
transformed into Venus, For n few
days she received him with her accus.
toned warmth, but lately. il appears,
her affection died away.
Several times he demanded an cx-
PLANTATION, but was greeted with cold,
glttcring laugh. that haunted him
even in his dreams. During his strolls
about the country those teeth ever APP
peared before his gaze. And still she
was not his. lie could endure the
torment no longer. Nerved 60 despcra-
ton he repaired to her residence, on
Maple avenue. The Young lady's pa
rents were absent, aud Freeland con-
graduated Himself upon tho prospect
of obtaining an easy victory. He had
come to reclaim the teeth

without further parlcying. the dig

was within his grasp, but he could not
withdraw his hand. The teeth had be-
come imbcdded in his fingers. Ills

Finally she released him. and, without
