After the performance of the second
piece the pianist should at once grace
fully retire, returning to bow if the ap-
p'ause is considerable. Should an en-
core be inevitable it is a good plan to
select something still shorter and brighter
than the piece previously played. This
will be sure to please the audience, and
such plan may be of material use in
building up the reputation of the per-
former.
The debutant must not be disconcert-
ed should some of his audience COM
mence to talk while he is playing. Nei-
ther must he fall into the mistake of at
tempting to drown the conversation by
loud playing. Such an endeavor to as
sert ones self is worse than useless, for
the louder the playing the louder will be
the talking. As a rule, the very oppo-
site method will be found to prove more
effectual in securing silence. Nearly
every performer has at times to go
through the very painful ordeal of af-
fording a mere accompaniment to con-
versation. 1t may be Of some comfort
to the novice to remember that not even
a Beethoven or Il Mendelssohn was ex-
empt from the trial.

Performance at Concerts -- Selection of
Pieces-Advice to Debutants.
There comes a time TO nearly every
student Of the pianoiorte whose playing
is at all above the average when he is
asked to perform in public,
Itmay be at Il concert on behalf Of some
charitable institution or for the benefit
of some member of the musical profes-
sion, but whatever the object let not
the earnest student rashlyrefuse to avail
himself of SO valuable means Of music
al advancement as such an opportunity
affords, advises writer in lie Etude,
who adds: Even if the request be for
him to act merely as accompanst, the
taskis well worth performing, and worth
performing we'll Copies of the songs to
be sung should be procured beforehand,
and the accompaniments diligently
studied.
1t may be, however, that the young
pianist will be asked to contribute one
or two pianoforte solos, and here much
discrimination and Judgment will be re-
quired. The style and culture of the au-
dience must be taken into account rath.
er than the special proclivities of the per-
former. To play long sonata or a Sc
lection of fugues at popular entertain
ment would be to offer premium to dis
satisfaction and failure.
Until pianist has quite gained the
good opinion of the public it is highly
desirable that his pieces should be short
and talking" A very good plan is to
play two short pieces of contrasted style
at one sitting-say, for example, the fol.
lowing: Pianoforte solos-(a) nocturne
in F minor, Chopin; (b) valse in A fat
Moszkowski.
A slight pause should be made between
the two pieces, and if the applause is
long continued the performer should rise
and bow before proceeding with the sec
ond piece. To ignore applause is the
surest method of causing its diminution
on subsequent occasions; therefore the
player should always acknowledge it
with some appearance of qualification.

From our Regular Coryespondsnt.)
To persons who are averse to deep
thought and reflection causes and their
effects have no lessons. Their minds-sad
expression-are zoo much occupied with
the ways Of bad companions, players of
the soul, to bestow a serious thought upon
the same. Words of warning uttered for
their benefit, age, words fraught with sig.
nificance of meaning for their temporal and
spiritual welfare, are treated with indiffer
ence. Really their stupidity is 20 be de-
plored. We take it upon US TO give an
illustration and one is just as good as
dozen. Some time since young man
hurriedly rode up to a store, alighted, and
made his ingress as others are wont to do.
We know him sufficiently well TO indulge
a friendly shake of the hand, and to make
inquiries relative to his health, etc. A few
minutes elapsed and he walked up to the
part Of the counter where whiskey is sold
and very deliberately and coolly called for
a glass of the liquid and, shall we sing or
say il? Swallowed the baneful contentsl
We were astonished for he had promised
us prior 10 the occurrence that he never
would indulge in intoxicants of any kind.
When he called for a second glass we took
courage and quietly reminded him of his
promise, calling his attention also 70 the
several wrecks visible made so by the
abuse of the liquid for which he seemed to
have a thirst. Cause ard its effect was
illustrated before him. None are so blind
as those who will not observe when an
opportunity presents itself. No arguement
that we could adduce was able to over
come his determination to get drunk. So
we lett him to follow the perverse incliua-
ton Of a carnal appetite. Our words were
spoken in friendship, and with pure re-
gard for his welfare. They were treated
with mockery. and to-day our deluded
friend is travelling like Paine, the infide!,
who wss consumed by intemperance, To q
world of despair. From common observa-
ton, we cannot avoid saying that there is
less drunkenness in the village of the Pine
than formerly. Heaven speed the day
when our good merchants, fully realizing
the evil effects Of intoxicants, will discon-
tinue the selling of spirituous and malt
liquors. What good etfects-with the
mos: decisive certainty-would ensue! An
inspired writer declares that swine is a
mocker, and strong drink is raging.
Mockery. ETC., we notice, are the legitimate
effects Of intexicants. and this is putting il
mildly.
That the timely showers with which We
are blessed are productive Of much coed
will hardly admit of doubt
