If He Would Stop There.

The shrewdnsss of a Boston youth is much commended. He was receiving a salary of $300 a year. Oa the first of January his employer made him a present of fifty dollars. He consulted his uncle as to what heshould do with the amount. The pru lent gentleman advised him to put it in the saviogs bank, but ae the money hod come easy, he would do no- thing of the kind. He invested it in stocks. Bya streak of good luck the fifty dollars brought him in $4,500. This he put on deposit. His uncle praised the shrewdness of the nephew’s stock trans- actions, but expressed the belief that he would ‘turn cut to be a gamble.’ This is just where the danger lies. There are many instances in this city of persons making a fortune the first venture, and being flushed, pursued the business of stock dealing until they were financially ruined. One of these was a9 notable aa to deserve mention. Some eight years ago, when the stock marked was very much inflated, young married maa, who held a lifs position in the army, where he

; ainda dipnibinncti Mr. Harle’s Concert. The concert of last Tuesday evening seomed to be a decided success. The ¥ MI. C. A. Hall was crowded with an appre- ciative audience. The opening instrume! tal set of Quadrilles, by the Quintette Clab, was well rendered, but not nearly as well as some of their other pieces. We do ot think that it was at all fair to the audior ce to place Offenbach’s name en tne pre- rramme epposite to this first set of q id- because they were merely arranyed

rilles, ; of re-

The selections from Don Pasquale were delightful, and we are very much pleasad to seo that the Club possess enough of determination.and pluck to tackle this dificult music, and to render it se we'l. We hope that we may have the pleasure of hearing more of the same classical character at their next Concert.

The singing, generally, was very goo l. Mrs. M. McLeod’s rendering ef ‘* Phrve fishers went sailing” would have been well worth coming through two or three snovw- storms to hear. ‘“ Of’t in the stilly night” was sung by Miss Palmer, and we wond:r that she did so well considering the discorils in the orchestral accompaniment ; i's instruments seemed to have been tuned in the key of k flat. While listening to Mr. Vinnicomb’s violin selo from ‘‘ Bohemian Girl,” we could not help thinking that the concert goers of Charlottetown should be congratulated on having possessed and enjoyed his services for the last eight cr ten years.

Mr. L. J. Williams used his fine voice with much expression, and both of his songs were well received. Wecannot help think- ing, however, that he makes rather free liberties with the time of his songs.

Mr. Montgomery, from whom the aud:- ence always expects something delightful in the way of a tenor solo, sang excellently well, although he seomed a little out cf veice. If, however, his voice did not do his well cultivated musical brain justice. we feel sure that his violin solo did.

Professor Caven’s rendering of ‘‘ Jack is every inch a Sailor” may be describec. as having been ‘‘thorough bass.”

We compliment Mr. Earle on the suc- cess of his concert. The very best musical talent, of course, would be useless withou’ a good director, such as Mr. Earle appears to be, to bring it before the public.

On the bitterly cold and story night o° Decernber 30, three half-breeds, Eliza Mc. Kenny, of St. Andrew's, Nancy Irwin, 0! Little Britain, and another girl living at the latter place, started to walk home from Winnipeg. It is thought they may have taken tee much liquor—at all events they appear to have been overcome with the cold, for their frozen corpses were next day diseovered lying on the banks of the river, near Point Douglas by a ceuple of men, who at once informed the relatives of the girls, by whem the bodies were taken in eharge.

The Territorial Delegate from Utah to the House of Representatives at Washington is a Mormon named Cannon, who has four wives. The Ladies’ Anti-Polygamy Society of Utah have presented a memorial to the House, ask- ing for his expulsion, on the ground that he is disqualified from sitting.
