"Tangled in musics web of twined strings
All. forgotten things
Stumble back strangely, And the ghost ofJune
Stands by Defenders fire, cold, coldi and puts
The last spark out.
All the cognoscenti in Wheeling musical
affairs are now busy looking up good things
for the winter for practice or performance.
The choirs are most of them actively re-
hearsing Christmas music, some OF them
guarding the secret of what they will bring
out as jealously as a belle her new dress
for the party, lest it should be reproduced
or initiated and lose its zest
The fine choruses and musical organiza-
tions upon whom so much of the interest OF
the season depends have some exquisite
and noble works rehearslng, and Will no
doubt do their full share toward making
the winter one that lovers OF music Will
have reason TO remember with pleasure.

The idea of playing national airs at the
close of the performances at the theatres
in different places meets with the heartlest
public approval and many of the audience
often linger after the curtain goes down,
something they are not accustomed TO do
for the ordinary musical twaddle OF thea
| trical OrchestraS.

rhe outlook for private musicales is not
very encouraging, though strong effort
will be made to keep up the interest of the
winter in that line. One of the grea,
troubles is the scarcity of soloists, espe-
cially sopranos, for there can be no quar-
telte without a soprano. But taken all in
all there is a great chance for society &c
take up a few fresh, new voices that will
help TO add interest to its entertainments
