/ Another five years have flown ere we
again see May. She is welded, but hers
is not q happy, marriage. Love for his
beautiful wife has died out in the husbands
breast for the stronger love of the card-ta-
bic and the wine cup. Many a night the
sorrowful wife waits with pale face and
beating heart to hear the step of her hus-
band as he reels up the street half intoxi-
Gated, and parts with his wild companions
at the door.
f. Even the entreaties Of his wife are OF no
avail. Slowly but surely he is going in the
/ downward road. Business, wife and home
are all forgotten in the excitement of wine
and play. Ono by one his friends desert
him, and finally he finds himself ruined

and the blow sobers him for short time

New MEMPHIS THEATRE-" The Pooh
OF New YORK. Manager Thompson,
with his usual liberality in catering for
the public entertainment, has made pre-.
parations, at a large outlay in scenery
and appropriate properties" to pro-
duce on the boards of the New Memphis,
this evening, the spectacular and highly
interesting drama of The Poor of Ne'c
York This piece has been very sue.
cessful throughout the Union, arising
from the fact we presume that the char
acters presented are similar to many that
meet our eye daily in public thorough
fares, some of them enlisting our sympa-
thies and others our displeasure. The
prologue opens in the year of the great
panic, 1887, exhibiting the office of a
clearinghouse in New York, and eff
cheney of the detective system of that
period A lapse of twenty years inter-
venes, when we are brought to the panic of
1857, and the plot begins gradually TO un-
ravel itself, giving glimpses of the poor of
New York, the newsboys, fight at Five
Points, and the Mackerel Brigade; as
we'll as scenic views of the Park near
Tammany Hall, Union Square by moon
light, and confagration in the great
metropolis. Our play-goers, and especial
ly the Queens of creation" cannot
afford to miss such rich treat as this,
and we urge them to secure advantageous
seats at as early an hour as possible, be-
cause we believe the house will be filled
from pit to dome on this first representa-
ton of so popular play. Miss Laura
Keene is eminently qualified TO sustain
the role of Lucy" while we all know
that Mrs. flanagan will delineate to per-
lection the character of "Alide." Mr..
Wheelock, no doubt, will make a capital
Badger" while Drake is well-suited to
the part of "Bloodgood. The hum0r of
the piece cannot fail in the performances
of Mr.. Marston and Miss Llewellyn as
"Mr and Mrs. Puffy" Our little Mem
phis girl, Katie Gilbert, plays one of the
newsboys. On the whole, the cast is
excellent, and everybody should be
pleased
