MUSICAL CRITICISM.
“How did you like the concert?” asked Frank, of
Mrs. Partington, at the Ontario. “Very much, indeed,”
said she; “I liked everything about the Ontario but the
consecutives; the corrosives I thought were sublimated,
but the consecutives I thought was dreadfully out of
tune.” Frank explained to her the object of the recitative,
and smiled a little at the queer mistake she had
made in musical terms. Bless thee, Mrs. Partington!
thy genius in its extravagance is never retarded by
terms.
