Good fricHds, I'm glad to see you-Gsnte sirs,
You ure most welcome Ladies, am yeurs
'Tis kind, indeed in such crowd to come,
To II, this night, first at home
Don't stsud on forms, but make frequent call.
For we shall keep up, open house to all.
And ~. each night give dull care " a rOus,"
Call when you please, you'll naver find US out
Ii busy still your kindness we'll regard.
If to the door you come, and "leave your card"
Welcome to aI.-Amoricnn or Creole,
Strangers cits.-we shall be glad to sec all
Our house is small but yet lis unpleasant,
Especially when such kind friends present.
The furniture we' show you bye and bye,
For must judge its excellence, not !,
The articles are varied, new, aud AMPLE
And suspect they've sent sample,
Not as the est. but rcudyest-or in truth,
Just Us a specimen of native growth.
Our green rooms full of company besides,
Soma that will shake your nerves, shake sides
Some sing, dance, joke, jump, jecr
some who forco laugh Or win tear.
But hush! dpUt tell, if | say What hear,
In in the secIet-women always arc
And yet might have some eli hit hesitation,
But that the Master here, is my relation
BY murriuge only but I've heard him say
A host Of Stars are tumhling down this way.
There's who dances us;tely spreht'y,
Like tut ierfes flowers, she trips SO lightly.
Sylph! a beauty " no euch grace has Cotton,
She'll make you cen forget the "price of Cotton
Some ledouin Arabs, too coming here.
And other stars crrutic" leave their sphere
To ask you if their light will suit your lands.
And take your verdict by shoe Of hands.
Eut this is ',nunt"-dont tell it to tho neishbors,
Especially those folks who write for papers:
fthey hear it, to silence bid good bye,
They cant keep secrets, sirs like you or |.
From the far North we've to show arts,
In these chimes, to win your warmer hearts,
To this charmed spot where a BOOTH appeared.
And where mob c FORREST too was reared!
Where tragedy with KEAN joys deckt each hour,
And where gay Comedy has shown her POWER!
Where first CELESTE her rising fame enhanced,
Where SINCLAIR wartle1, or the RAVELS danced
We march our troupe show how strong scrve is.
And ask e the general here" tncccpt our service;
That we're prepared for service, needs stamp,
For here " c are all muser'd in the CAM
I'm here neutrality-suspicious. You lat to nc?
I'm tho white Sergeant of the Company
Aid as the Captain bids I'm bound to write,
"YouRE oRDERE TEND DRILL HERE" EVERY NIGHT
And I'd suggest this house the ruo should form,
And every night tho crowd he uniform.
Why have rankt powers gem,
Men rule the world, and you know rule them.
And Oft WHOM could not raise recruit,
Women h We brought whole armies o their foot.
When Charles the Dauphm could troops advance,
To drive tho British from his native France,
Joan of Arc ro<c-calied OH all true horn Franks
Ard gallant thousands hronged to join her ranks.
I'd he this Jonn of Orleans and bid you tramp,
Mighty in crowds to fill little Camp

The 81. Charles, Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison, both o

the Park, in New York. The gentleman is
somewhat known, but the lady is an entire s,ran
ger who requires but slight introduction Il
attention Mrs Harrison is a Young
aud very pretty woman, and lively and gra, efu
actress. Accustomed to the stage from her youth
she treads the boards with The unembarra ssed al
of ve'eron, which her pretty face, md petite per
sun would scarce give warrant for. She vii
prove a highly desirable acquisition to tho com
pany, and must became tuvcrlte soon as sh
becomes known. Mr.. Harrison plays "Willian
TEL" and "GiIes," in the Mier's Maid, Will
his better half supports him, as Albert in the first
and Phnbe in the second piece.
