Soliloquy4?7 »n °W toper: " They say whisky is ar,?irse. And they say brandy is a cane.' And they say tobacco is another- corse. , Wall, I wish all those curses would come home to roost, and roost low at that, so as I could pall 'em down when ever I wanted 'em." A capital story comes from Vienna, apropos of Liszt's recent performance in that city. It is said that tho great pianist found himself recently in the company of t number of ladies, who begged him in hyperbolical terms to procure for them " the ecstaoies, the artistic raptures, which his magnificent talent inevitably produces." He obligingly seated himself at the piano, and played. When he had finished some of nis admirers had fainted. "Well" said Liszt, "I played wrong notes all through, intentionally,—so l>aaly, indeed, that I should be turned out a doors at any elementary school of music!"
