MISS LAURA GRAY'S BENEFIT.
We would remind our readers that Miss Laura
Gray will faire her benefit this evening in " Faust
and Marguerite," o'tl which Mr. Copeland has
bestowed great care in nevr scenery and dresses,
so as to do every justice to the beautiful spec-
tacle. 111ephistopheles will be played by Mr. J. C.
Cowper, and we have no doubt with great effect Mr.
F. Neville will personate Faust, while the graceful and
clever bacficiare will act the the trusting maiden, " who
loved not wisely, but too well." She will also play
Ilfrs. Fitzsmith, in the "Ladies' Club."

Mr. George Hodson, the celebrated Irish comedian,
will commence an entertainment at Clayton Hall this
evening. A metropolitan contemporary, speaking of
Mr. Hodson; says :—" Of his merits as an Irish de-
lineator it is unnecessary to speak ; they are all well
known. But his entertainment affords him ample scope
for the display of his versatile powers, vocal, instru-
mental, and polyphonic."

'THE REWARD OF HONESTY. —lt is for some people a
very convenient maxim that " honesty is its own re-
ward," and they
.strive rigidly and conscientiously to
carry out the principle, especially as it is one which
does not hurt their pockets. An example of this
class of people turned up on Saturday morning at the
Birkenhead Police Station. The particulars of the case
are short, but not at all sweet. A certain lady living
at Rock Ferry had the misfortune to lose her precious
muff, which priceless article was found by a poor little
boy, whose parents appear to have been in very indigent
circumstances. The little boy lost no time .in taking
the muff hed found to the Police SttiOn, so tha
when the greahta lady arrived, it was all ready for her.
She appeared pleased to get it, but on being reminded
that the little boy to whose honesty she owed its safe
return, was in want, she fairly bursted with indignation,
declaring that she had given one boy a penny to show
her the way to the station, and that she was not going
to be subject to any more extortion. With this the
lady (!) bounced oat of the office, her generous heart
being perhaps unable to understand why " poverty and
honesty should be rewarded."
