When Barrymore took the management Of
the Amphitheatre, no made an attempt to
improve the style of drama usually exhibit
ed. In the opening melo-drams an old pea.
SAINT accuses the hero of the piece Of divers
murders, abductions, &c. The prince de,
mands what proof he can adduce that these
murders have been committed; on which
another peasant, rushing on the bridge, in
the centre, displays blood-stained scarf and
cries, "Behold specimen !" Barrymore, q
stranger to the old members Of the company,
cast this TO Mr.. c., gentleman Of the
Jewish persuasion, and more celebrated as
an equestrian than an actor. Mr.. c.,
bent on producing an effect, rushed at the
important moment into the centre Of the
bridge, disposed himself and the scarf into
an interesting tableau, and shouted, in tone
that did honor to Hounditch, BehoUh a
spseimiRt" A scream Of laughter from
the audience nearly annihilated the drama
and the manager, who quietly demanded II
the gentleman was always as clever, and
being replied to in the affirmative, cast the
part TO another. This so irritated the son Of
Israel that he harangued his compatriots in
the dressing-room thus: "See now, my tears,
vat o rascal dis Birrymore is; look at him
vat he's done; he's no manager; he's took
aad taken me out Of de part ven used to

DEVOTED LAwYER.-The other dav
we were in courtroom. We listened
to the magic music of eloquence, as it
fell in touching melody from the lips of
man whose hair was speckled with gray.
and whose form bore the mark of lengthy
contest with that unrelenting foe of NOR
tals-Time. We listened to the orator
as he told of an approaching day when
the flowers should bloom and the shadows
should dance over his lifeless form
when his spirit should meet in solemn
judgment the God who gave it. We
listened, as in tones of reverence he in
voked the name of the Most High and
invited His scrutiny. We listened, as
he told the story of the decay of ambi-
tion-as he stripped the pomp and cir
cumstance of earthly honors of their gilt
tering tinsel. We watched the bright
ness of his eye, as he proudly said that.
though upon his tombstone might be in
scribed the record Of thousand sins of
omission and commission, among them
would not be included the sin of acting
contrary to the dictates of his own con.
science, in order to float upon the wave of
popular applause Golden Era.

Hail gentle Spring
With garlands fair upon thy head,
Thou com'st to wake the moud'ring dead,
And bid them fling
Their perfume on the balmy air,
As they were wont in life to bloom
Ere winter chill,
On vale and hill
With icy wing,
Laid the flowers in snowy tomb,
So strangely fair.
But thou art here,
And soon the crimson buds will peep
From out their cells so dark and deep,
In forests sere
And there unfold each tender leaf
or glossy sheen and emerald dye
Til banners wave
Above the grave
OF FLOWERS dear
And through their shade the low winds sigh,
In ceaseless grief
Queen of delight
OH how long to see again,
Thy blossoms deck the sunny plain,
With robes of white,
And like the deep blue arch above,
With flowers dot each verdant lea;
Each lovely scene
And dim ravine
With starets bright
Till smiling Nature welcomes thee
Season of love-

r BLESSED Is HE WHO MAKES GLAD

that prepares a pleasure for a child, for
there Is no saying when and where it may
again bloom forth Does not almost eve
rybody remember some kind-hearted man
who showed him a kindness in the days
of his childhood The writer of this
recollects himself at this moment, as a
bare-footed lad, standing at the wooden
fence of poor little garden in his native
village, where with longing eyes he gazed
on the flowers which were blooming there
quietly in the brightness of Sabbath
morning. The possessor came forth from
his little cottage; he was a wood-cutter
by trade, and spent the whole day at
work in the woods. He was come into
the garden to gather flowers to stick In
his coat when he went to church. He
saw the boy, and breaking off the most
beautiful of his carnations, which was
streaked with red aud white, he gave 1t
to him. Neither the giver nor the re-
ceiver spoke word, and with bounding
steps the boy ran home; and now, here
at distance from that home, after so
many events of so many years, the feel
ing of gratitude which agitated the breast
of that boy expresses itself on paper
The carnation has since wlthered, but 1t
now blooms afresh. Douglas Jerrold.

heiress of considerable personal attractions
chanced to be seated at dinner party,
next to gentleman remarkable in the

wit, and who had long made one in the

turned on the uncertainty of life:

young lady archly, "in the Hope"
''In the hope of what?' said her ad-
mirer, "as a single life is hardly worth
insuring, propose that we should insure
our lives together, and if you have no OBJ
lection, | should prefer the Alliance"
