RATHER TIGHr PLACE. "A woman at
tired in a calico gown, plaid shawl and hood,
went one evening last week, in st. Louis, to a
place where great militory ball was to come
Of, and waited there patiently until a car
riage drove up, from which alighted gentle
man attired in a snowy martial uniform, and
a young lady captivatingly cOstumed in silks,
cambrics, artificial flowers, &c. The humble
looking woman instantly &" mounted" this
young lady, and tore her fnery into shreds,
receiving a blow in the face while so employed
from the military gentleman II turned out
that he was the husband Of the woman in
calico. The pretty young lady didn't dance
that night MoraL-When you are going to
a ball without your wife, don't take pretty
girl with you it might prove annoying.

THE SECRET

EnE S6OhEI.
In a fair lady's heart once a secret was lurking
Ii tossed and II tunn bled, IL Ion ged to get out
The II Ps half betrayed 1t by smiling aud smirk-
ing,
And tOague was impatient to blab 1t, 10 doubt
But honor looked gruf on the subject, and gave II
In charge to the teeth, so ench antingly white
should the captive empt an e,opement 10 savsit
BY giving the lips an admoni shing bite.
Twas said, and twas settled, and honor depart
ed;
Tongue quivered and trembled, bu: dared not
rebel,
When rig ht to its tip Secret suddenly started
And half, in a whisper, escaped from Its cell
Quoth the teeth, In pet, we'll be even for this.
And they bit very smarly above and beneath,
But the lips at that instant were bribed with a
kiss,
And they poPt out the Secret in spite Of the
teeth
EGGS.
Oh tbs eggs are treat,
When so white and so sweet,
From under the manger they're taken,
Ard by fair Margery;
Och! tits she's full of glee,
Thew are fried with fat rashers OF bacon
yost like daisies all spread
Ger broad sunny mead,
In the sunbeams so beautifully shining
Are fried eggs fair dis played
On dish, when we've laid
The cloth, and are thinking Of dining.

The Drama.

We are sorry to learn that some of the
notices, in the local column of our paper,
concerning the dramatic performances of
Messrs. Hough & Myers company at Market
Hall, have slightly disturbed the equinimity
Of certain readers of the Minnesotian. We
wish it understood, once for all, however,
that when as respectable and talented tho
atrical company as this establishes itself in
our city, we will lend our influence to sus-
tain it-not only for the sake of affording the
people a proper and rational amusement,
but that st. Paul may be able to boast that
she is not afflicted with population who
are willing to render her ridiculous in the
eyes ofall liberal and well disposed commu-
mites elsewhere.
Messrs. Hough & Myers company have
not only enacted theirparts we'll on the stage
since their sojourn here, but they have proved
themselves ladies and gentlemen in all their
intercourse with our community. The place
Of performance is not surrounded by the
usual associations Of theatres in larger cities;
and thus the common objections by the strict
est moralists to visiting thesep places of amuse-
ment are entirely removed.
On Monday evening, Dumas great play Of
Camille will be. produced in style that
should attract the intellectual taste of ST. Paul.
This piece is one Of the greatest that now
holds the stage-one of Rachels chief favor
ites-and will be presented here in most
superb style.
