1t was upon st. Charles street,
There stood hungry wight,
A seedy coat upon his back;
Twas Twelve o'clock at night,
The last street car was rafting past,
The rain was falling oold and fa}t.
He stood before window, (.
Twas filed with viands rare;
Poor devil-how he longed to taste
Those dishes resting there;
For save upon crust OF bread
That daytime fellow had not fed.
Roast beef was there in plenty:
And flspked by fruits and fish, i
Were huge boiled hams and tulEiss fat,
And many q tempting dish
Collected from the earth or sea
To tempt poor devils such as bes
Now, as he looked with longisg
Upon this varied store :,
g Thou art SO near and yet 80 fay"
He murmured o'er and o'er.
Fixing the while his gaze inteSt.
Yet knowing that he'd not Sent.
Within was heard the clatter IN
OF fork and spoon and plate,
As walters hustled here and theSe,
And men their victusls ate,
They had no earthly thought &bout
The fellow cold and wet without.
He gsxed another moment, g.
Once more he glanced within
Then struck his empty pockets
And eyed his trousers thin
He felt as Cesar must have dofe
When pluDging In the Rubicon:
Then, with an air Of boldness #
He opened wide the door,
And, with the mien of millionaire
Strobe o'er the sanded floor.
Then, at the counter, very cool,
Bat down upon velvet stool.
% Bring me cup of coffee,
With milk" he boldly cried
90 And let me have slice OF duck,
much prefer outside
And then, too, waiter, you can bring,
Some bread, potatoes
And 90 the waiter started,
Again he called him back
I'D quite forgot; turnip, VITA
That slice of canvass back,
And IL you've any venison fat
/ don't mind having some of that.
" And oh ! Zee here. please, waiter,
Before you further 60
Be sure that those potatoes /
Are nicely Drowned, you know
The waiter nodded, but Q glance
Upon the stranger, cast, askande.
But very little cared he,
Though hungry, tired and wet,
For all the walters glances,
He eat, and eat, and eat,
Until around him lay heap
OF empty dishes two rows deep.
/" Now bring nae an Havana"
He said in blandest tone,
A toothpick. too, he added,
The waiter gave groan.
His seedy guest remained 90 long
He half suspected something wrong.
"Now. waiter. what's the damase,"
Three dollars and q half"
Why bless me that's trife,r
He answered with laugh,
"Or would be. had funds-I msant,
But, my good sir, I've not cfnt."
what! do you mean to tell mel
That all you've eaten here
Shall not be paid for, mister ~
That 10 the case, l fear,v

Then In towering passion
Th' indignant waiter ran
Upon the street and straightwty called
A Metropolitan,

And there incsrcerated
Within dingy cell, J: etl

When Couldock was upon the boards of this
tbester. both dress circle and parquette were
spsrsely populated. He had his mannsrisms. one
sometimes disagreeable enough, that of laughing
down in his boots. II one may SC express that
forced hilarity which sounded a long way down
his throat but for all this, such natural persona
tions as Farmer Allan in " Dora, (" and John Prob
ity in Chimney Corner" compel the true critic to
admit that he at last had betaken himself to
style Of characters which suited his age and his
peculisrities. His make up was faultless, his
carriage easy and natural, and one forgot the
presence Of the actor in the realization of that
Illusion which discovers true artist.
1t Is no wonder, however, that Couldock went
away with his pocket about as empty as he came.
Neither the chaste moral of the dramas presented,
nor the naturaness of his persouations could make
headwsy against the prevailing mania for gor.
geous scenery, fairy extravsganzas. or tableaux
blazing with red and white FIRE.
The "white Fawn" succeeded. 1t is medly
of puerilities. The plot would do credit to a Sc
cond hand nursery production, and the scenery
looks ancient enough to have come from the hands

During the night he was suddenly awakened
from profound sleep by harsh and imperative
voice saying these words: "Gve me back my
purse ~ SO close to his pillow that the impression
made this time was real and did not provoke q
laugh. Yet he resumed his sleep, and woke up 10
the morning with scarcely recollection Of the
events of the night. But that night the strange
voice twice disturbed his sleep, and night after
nightf from that time the demands were increased
in number and tone, TO his great distress and hor

about bis strange adventure. But Ramons gentle
disposition now became acrimonious, his temper
irascible, bis health impaired, his ruddy cheeks
sunken and pallid, and acquired salow and

expression to his countenance, gradually grew
dimmed and half closed under his dropping eye.
lids his whole frame became emaciated by care
and sleepless nights; in fact he became, as my
Grandmother said, rnecOnnotssdbe.
This great change in so amisble companion
created profound sorrow and compassion 10 the
family, none of whom knew or dreamed Of its real
cause, and, above all, no one dared, through q
natural sense of delicacy, to inquire into his
thoughts. Finally, one bitter cold morning, he
appeared at the breakfast table very much agi-
tated, end after slipping cup of coffee. he pri.
vately requested my great grandmother to send
for the curate of the parish, with whom be wished
to consult upon important matters. The reverend
