do. The young woman's father was q wealthy

Time passed on, and the rose of Mary's da-
mask check passed off. She let no conceal
ment, like q worm in the bud" prey on that
damask cheek, however; but when her father
asked her why she pined she always told him.
The.old gentleman Was a widower and he loved
his daughter dearly. Had it been a widowed
mother who had Mary, in Charge, a wonm's
pride never would have given way before the
opportunities of a daughter. Men are not,
however, so stubborn in such matters, and
when the father saw that the daughters heart
was really set upon the match, he surprised
her one day by breaking ont (" Mary, rath-
err than nope to death, thou hadst better marry
as thee choose and when thee please .i
And what did Mary? Wait till the birds Of
the air had told her swain of the change, or
till her father had time to change his mind,
again? Not a bit of it. She clappcd her neat
bonnet on her head, walked directly into the
street, and then as directly to the house of her
intended as the street could GARY her. She
walked into the house without knocking. for
knocking was not then fashionable, and she
found the family just sitting down to dinner.

is a parody on Gerard de Nerval's Mum de
Glo,re, and the most ludicrous parody imagi-
nable. Fierrot, in a battle with o negro, loses
one of his arms after having torn off that of
his adversary, who has fled, carrying away the
white ARM. Pierrot, desolate, like the peri at
the garden gate, goes in search of q celebrated
surgeon, who adroitly adjusts the foreign arm
to the mutilated shoulder. Unfortunately the
black arm is the arm of O rogue, a mnauvais
suJet, a thief, a pickpocket, o rake, d %canaille,
etc., and it obstinately retains the manners of
its first master so that, possessing a will of its
own entirely independent Of poor Pierrot, who
is a very honest fellow, it leads him into all
sorts OF difficulties. The black arm steals n
sack of money, which the white arm honestly
refuses to touch, gives blows with the fist, takes
pretty girls by the waist and chucks them m-
der the chin, tickles Pierrot to make him laugh
in a pathetic situation, and, finally, in spite of
the virtue and remonstrances of the rest Of
himself, leads him off to prison. n AT the end,
however, all is arranged. Pierrot regains his
own arm once more, marries the girl of his
heart, punches the negroes head, and all termi-
mates happily. The idea is comic, is it not
The representation is droll beyond expression.
