Mr. Mark Lemon at the Free Trade Hall,

On Saturday evening Mr. Mark Lemon, the
well-known litterateur and editor of Punch, gave a
reading at the Free Trade Hall. 0 wing probably
to the unfavourable state of the weather, there was
only a limited attendance. Though this was the first
time Mr. Lemon had appeared before a Manchester
audience in the character of a reader, he was not
personally unknown to the Manchester people. His
appearance in the amateur dramatic company,
which a few years since visited Manchester under
the leadership of Mr. Charles Dickens, made a
very favourable impression as to his histrionic
ability, and this quality, added to his genial
nature, found full scope in the subject ho
selected on Saturday—a serio-comic picture from Ms
own writings, of the life and aequaintances of a
gambler, and entitled "Hearts are Trumps." The
sketch included many of the striking varieties of
human nature that are met with in everyday life,
as it is set before us in the modern novel. Thus it
had its heroine, an interesting and wealthy ward ;
its low comedy man, a compouad of footman, groom,
and gardener; and its hero, the father of the young
ward, who, though a blackleg and a gambler, had
nevertheless sufficient sense of shame to keep his
livelihood a secret from his daughter. In compd.
ante with the dying request of his wife, Mr.
Gray—ee ran the tale—placed his daughter
under the care of an eccentric, good-hearted,
old woman, named Miller, at Reigate, he in
the meantimeoman' carrying on his gamhling trans-
actions in London, where he was only known
under a pseudonym. The description of the gam-
bler's occasional visits to his child was given with
great pathos, and the deathbed scene of Mrs. Gray
was pictured with similar feeling. As a contrast
to the knavery of the father and the gentle nature
of the child, Mrs. Miller's honest open-hearted
footman—Joe Martin—stood out in pleasing promi-
nence. Thou only half a Yorkshireman, Joe had
all the shrewd s and straightforward goodhumour
of an out-an at Yorkshirema.n. His peculiar
dialect gave a zest to the witticisms and retorts with
which he greeted the cockney visitors to Oak Cot-
tage, Reigate. One Wagstaff, a fellow-blackleg with
Gray, fell in love with the heroine, discovered her pa-
rentage, and on being refused by her father he re-
venged himself by revealing Gray's occupation to the
inmates of the cottage. The women- made their
way to London, and found Gray and Wagetaff at
play, and cheating a young fellow named Wilmot-
This denouement was treated admirably. It pour-
trayed Gray's chagrin at finding that his wicked-
ness was discovered, his remorse, and his daughter's
forgiveness, which melted even the steeled heart of
Captain Wagstaff. Wilmot was recognised as
.an_
old acquaintance, and he, of course, married the
heroine. The sketch also included the marriage of
~oung
another hero—Mr. Joe Martin—to a buxom I with
servant named Susan Fletcher, the love contrast to
whom formed a pleasing and humourouce
