YousG AmERIoA-This new drama, writ
ten for the famous little Batenans was, for the first
time, presented to a Richmond audience on Mon
day night last. The impression exists, to some ex-
tent that the piece, from its title, and having the
scene laid in New York, is of the character ofthe
"Glance at New York." and some other of that de-
scrption but after witnessing it, we can bear tes-
timony to its freedom from anything like vuigsri'
ty and to It's many excellent points. 1t exhibits,
faithfully many scenes of poverty and hardship,
the parents love and socitude, the child's devo-

into the bosoms of her children over all temptation,
and the heroic struggles of both son and daughter
to rescue that mother from starvation

strikngly beautiful The expression of her sweet
face in the ableau at the end of the first act, will
not be soon forgotten by those who saw it.
Bless those dear children. When they shall have
left the stage and retired to the quiet seclusion of
their own nome, on the banks OF the Ohio, as
learn it ia the intention of their father they shall
shortly do there will be many in this city who will
look back with pleasure to the evenings On which
they Witnessed the aclines and doings of VIII,
