The THEATRE.-The first suppression Of the
theatre in England was by the Long Parliament
in 1912, when the actors were forcibly dispersed,
and became even some Of the most prosecuted
objects Of the government. The destruction OF
the theatre was the result Of an ancient quarrel
between the Puritanic party and the dramatic
corps. The Puritans, starting from the plainest
principles ofsimplicity, had come to the conclu-
sion that the stage was means of increasing
immortality, and numerous works had been
written previous TO the year we have named 10
prove this statement. The stage at that period
offered fair chance for their attacks, for the
Righteousness and grossness OF many OF the
comedies was notorious and undeniable. The
Puritans did not succeed in making their sup.
preston a permanent affair, yet it must be
confessed they purified the stage, and made it
more as Plato said it ought to be, place where
virtue moves our love and affections when made
visible TO the public eye. The actors, however,
during the suppression, took various means Of
dlsobeying the law, and some Of the stories OF
the era are both curious and interesting. Robert
Cox, great comic genius, invented peculiar
sort of dramatic exhibition, suited TO the neces-
sites Of the times, which he introduced under
the disguise Of rope dancing This Cox seems
TO have been the delight of the time, and to
have lost no occasion for girding his enemies,
the Puritans. Among the humors of the time
was poetical petition presented to Parliament
by the actors for the reestablishment Of the
stage. Ii was while Pym was at the head Of
the Commons The following extract will give
glance Mt the tenor of the times.-N. y. SIM

BY CALEB LYON, OF LYoNsDALE.


While passing through thy sacred halls,
Enriched with learnings golden grain,
And gazing on their pictured walls,
| dwell mid other years again.
Far down the valley of the Past,
Fond Memory winged her chequered way,
And paused where angels leave us last
The holy land of childhood's day.
Again, DER classic tones bent,
And high thoughts 'broidered on my heart;
Again, the dear home letters, sent
Wild JOY, and made the tear drops start.
Undimmed with guile or gr;eior tears,
Those Eden hours of Weakened thought
Cast bright rainbow DER my years,
And richest ores OF promise wrought
The faded Past, thus lit again,
With all the colors once il wore
Blent with the rapture OF my brain,
vision of loveer shore.
And bowling TO the Virgins shrine,
Adorned with fowrets from the wild
AUes, breathed 10 one divine,
And felt in soul very child
Thanks 10 Ignatius' sanity shade,
Who guards these treasures OF the mind;
No lust of gold or pride e'er made
A name like thine for human kind.
Long as thy turrets kiss the sky,
Or flows Potomac's silver wave,
May zeal for knowledge never die,
And learning triumph DER the grave.

The Beloved One.

My thoughts will turn 10 early home,
Where youths bright days were past;
And while from friend TO friend they roam
They hold one dear one fast.
Her mild blue eyes and joyous face
: Were like the siar-lit-sky;
Her lovely form and perfect grace
Enchanted every eye.
| knew her through life's dawning hour,
When smiles with tears could play;
And saw her, like an opening flower,
New charms on charms display.
met her next, endeared to fame,
When beautys buds had bloomed;
Like rosy morn she gently came,
With loves soft blush iumed.
And next saw her on her bier,
With pale and wax-like face;
Believed with many falling tear
From friendships last embrace.
Before her MONDAY reached its height
Her sun forever set;
But left on virtues path light
That CLOVIS upon il yet.
And such is lifel-a bud-a dover
And then stricken stem;
Its ordeal, whether sun or shower,
To death will soon condemn.
But death is life, and life is death,
To saints like her, forgiven;
The angel-hand that closed her breath
Has borne her soul 10 Heaven.

RAPID WRITER'S. Speed in composition is a
questionable advantage. Poetic history record
two names which may represent the swift and
thoughtful pen--Lope de Vega and Milton.
We see one pouring out verses more rapidly
than n secretary could write them; the other
building up in the watches of the dark, n few
majestic lines; one leaving his treasures to be
easily compressed into single volume; the
other TO be spread abundanty over forty-six
quartos; one gained fifteen pounds; the other
a hundred thousand ducats; one sitting at the
door Of his house, when the sun shone, in a
coarse coat of gray CLOTH and visited only by
admiring strangers from foreign countries; the
other followed by crowds wherever he appeared,
while even the children shouted after him with
delight 1t is only since the earth has fallen
on both, that the fame and honors Of the Span.
lard and the Englishman have been changed.
He who nearly finished comedy before break
fast now lies motionless in his small niche OF
monumental biography, and he who long
choosing, began late, is walking up and down
IN his singing robes, and with the laurel round
his head, in the cities of many lands; having
no home and is welcome in every devout heart,
and upon every learned tongue Of The Chris
tan world.
