SCENE AT THEATRE.-A curious incident
occurred some nights ago at the Theater National.
They laying there a melo-dramatic piece,
called "The Bear and the Wild Man" The
bear is performed by real aesh and blood bruin,
and his deneations have met with uneauivoca
approval, except on the first night, when the
trepidation, inseparable from a FIRST appearance,
prevented him from doing himself full Justice
On the night in question, The bear was observed
to stop short ia one Of his most important panto
mimic passages, and direct his gaze toward a
portion OF the wings, 10 which he had not The
remotes: interest Those whose position in the
theatre enabled them 10 see behind the scenes,
discovered cat, with tail erect and arching
back, making demonstrations Of ungovernable
disilke al the Dear. mere was now Il prospect
Of fun, no, down in the bills. The bear made a
stride or two at the cat, whose back and tail be
gan to subside visibiy. At last, pussy, believing
with Falstaf, that discretion is the better part OF
vaior, concluded to be OFF. She made a spring
into the orchestra, ran along the ratings which
separates the musicians from TIE stalls, climbed
mp into the first tier scrambled over two or three
layers of ladies' and gentlemen, and made good
Der exit around the surrounding corridor There
was mofnentary spasm Of alarm, lest the bear
should undertake 10 follow the cat BY the same
ingenious, though slightly spiral path The au-
dience were highly relieved when they saw the
be ar return to his pantomime, aud resume the
thread Of his arguments at exactly the spo
where he left off, Such freaks on the part Of q
bear would be indeed unbearable, and he would
deserve to be chasiised with a ca,-o'-nine- lis
for displaying SO much temper toward a cat wh,
had only one.

The Railway Car.

BY CHAs T. sHIRAs.
No more we sing they sang Of old
To the tones Of the lutte and Tyre,
For 10! we live in an Iron Age
Ia the aye of Steam and Firei
The world is too busy for dreaming.
And hath grown too wise for War.
So, to-day, for the glory Of Science,
Let US sing Of the Railway Car.
The golden chariots Of ancient Kings
Would dazzle the wondering eve,
And the heads Of million slaves nigh, bow
As the gltlering toy rolled by;
But this is the Scar of the people,
And before ii shall bow all Kings
BE they warned when they hear the skrieking
OF The Dragon with ron wings!
The blood stained car Of the Juggernaut,
Ger millions Of necks hath rolled,
And MS Priests have cried such a triumph as our:
j he world shall never behold -
But, woe! when this ha.nessed Dragon
Comes vomiting smoke and fire.
For The Priests, with their Car and Idols,
snail perish beneath his ire.
Ani woe TO all who uphold The wrong
Love darkness rather than light
For Scieace hath opened a broad highway
For Knowledge, and Truth and Right.
And he sends forth his car to gather
The people Of many lands,
Until the uttermost nations
Are grespins each others hands.
Aud thus, when the people. as one, are joined,
And each 10 his fellow is known,
Invention and Art, and Skill shall work
Al the bidding Of Science alone.
And who can tell Of the greatness
The world may hope for then!
For the Faith that movelh mountains
Hath entered the souls Of men.
Then. sing no more as they sang Of old,
To the tones of the lutte and Tyre,
But sound the praise of the Iron Age
The age Of Steam and Fire.
And sing to the glory of Science
Exult in the downfall of War
And shout for the fiery Dragon
That dies with the Railroad Car

From the upspringing garden bed
That with Dame Nature grew.
II is the breath Of clover fields,

And ere his scythe the mower yields
Let all our lay be told;
Let's dream we roll with bygcne sIee
Amid the long cool stems,
And suck the nectar with the bee,
And hide our froick limbs.
We cannot So to gamboI now

And bless the air ii greets;
And we will think, this evening hour,
