THEATRE.-Modern sensation novels, abound
ing in startling and improbable incidents,
are bad enough in themselves, but when
dramatzed become almost intolerable. To
make up for the want of wit and point, all the
resources Of the scenic artist, the machinist
and the gas man have to be called into reaui-
sitiOn, and the spectator leaves the theatre
with recollection of beautiful dresses and
gorgeous scenery, set off by colored fires but
with very confused idea of dialogue and plot
Miss Braddon, we think, would be amused
with the liberties the dramatst has taken with
her novel of "Diavola," which was represented
last evening at Deering hall. Despite the rain,
a very fair audience had gathered to witness the
performance, which, Notwithstanding the great
lack of scenery and etceteras for the correct
production of the piece, still seemed to give
satisfaction to the spectators. We prefer the
company ourselves in Short light comedies.
Miss Bidwell made a fair Lady Everseigh, and
we would say here that if Miss D0lhe would
get an engagement as stock actress at some
good theatre, where she would have an oppor-
tunity of studying first-class acting, she might
make herself very good actress, and get rid
of stage tones and mannersms. Mr.. Locke's
conception of Joyce Harker is hardly that of
Miss Braddon's, but was fair stage concep-
ton. 1t would be better to remember that
lungs do not carry the proper effect on all &C.
casions except to the boys in the gallery. To-
night Miss Dollie takes her benefit, on which
occasion the plays will be East Lynne and the
Yankee Duellist, and we have no doubt her
many admirers will crowd the house

SCHOOL BooKs.-Mr. Oliver Ellsworth, of
Boston. having reduced the price of the re-
vised and enlarged Progressive Series" of
Readers and Speller, by Town & Holbrook, to
a price unattainable by publishers of similar
books, a combined effort is being made to
prejudice the public mind and thereby keep
up the present unwarrantable high cost of
school books. Mr.. Ellsworth will gain ninety
towns in every hundred in such contest,
judging from the largely increased sales dur
ing the last month. The books are greatly i'm
proved, and, for practical use, as near perfect
as Readers and Spoilers can be compiled.

The SLATE.-As the great day draws nigh
which is to give Andrew johnson "a ticket OF
leave" for Tennessee, great men as well as
small begin to define their position In about
forty days, the vote will be cast and the ques-
ton settled of the Presidency for the next tour
years. Into the next forty days will be crowd
ed incidents and results which ale to tell with
great effect upon the welfare of this nation.
The accession to the Grant column of men of
all classes, throughout the whole country, is
wonderful. The Albany Argus said there
was no response to the nomination OF Grant "
Perhaps not, in the editors own room but ev-
cry where else it is felt like the tread of gil

He sees as in vision the coming man. At a
cabinet meeting on Monday last, political po-
sitions were defined. Mr.. Seward talked of
beirg old and anxious for retirement, and hint
ed Just now he preferred Grant to Seymour.
How he will be in NINETY days" remains to be
seen. Welles and McCulloch were emphat-
cally for Seymour and Blair Browning and
Randall were not in attendance. Schofeld, of
course, talked Grant, while Evarts gave the
President renewed assurances of his friendship

Tobacco.-By O Small Boy.

Tobacco grows something like cab
bages, but never saw none of it boiled,
have eaten boiled cabbage aud vinegar
OH it, and I have heard men say that
cigars that was given to them on cleo
ton day for nothing, was cabbage leaves.
Tobacco stores are mostly kept by
wooden Injuns, who stand at the doors
and try to fool little boys by offering
them . bunch Of cigars, which is glued
into the Injuns's hands and is made of
wood also. Hogs do not like tobacco;
neither do L. / tried to smoke cigar
once, and it made me feel like EPSON
salts. Tobacco was invented by Walter
Raleigh. When the people first saw
him smoking they thought he was a
steamboat, and as they had never seen
= steamboat they were frightened. My
sister Nancy is a girl. 1 don't know
whether she likes tobacco or not. There
is q young man named Leroy who
comes to see her. I guess she likes
Leroy. He was standing on the steps
one night, and he had cigar in his
mouth, and he said he didn't know as
she would like it, and she said, Leroy,
the perfume Is agreeable" But the
next morning, when my big brother
Tom lighted his pipe, Nancy ssid, "Get

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH EY
Hoors.- find the following In the
Cleveland Herald Of Friday:
"a few days ago as an express train
on the Cleveland, Columbus and Gin
ciunati Railroad was entering WoIling-
ton, the engineer, William Warner,
observed u woman STOPPING beside the
rail, and supposed she was picking
something up. TO his astonishmcnt, she
remained In that position until the en-
gine came near enough for him to see
that she was pulling at her clothing, a
portion Of which had become fastened
to the rail as she crossed the road. He
whisled down breaks, reversed the en-
gine, shut his eyes and passed the spot
with every hair of his head standing on
end. The woman screamed, swooned,
and fell over, away from the engine,
aud its ponderous wheels severed the
tie that bound her to the track--the
lower springs OF her hoop skirt. War
ner says: 'She was glad and so was T..
He intends to send her hoop skirt as a
present, with a polite note requesting
her to raise her skirts while passing i'm

then Christ catne to save us nom moth

d Now the truth II, that the salvation
the gospel oontemplatss n deliverance
from our own evil thoughts, purposes,
and character. Said the angel nnounc-
Ing the coming Of Christ, 'srhou shalt
call his name Jesus, for he shall save
his people nom their stns." John,
pointing out Christ to his friends said,
"Behoid the Lamb Of God who taketh
away the sin of the world" Peter, the
chief Of tho apostles told the Jews, "Un-
To you nrst, uod having raised up his
Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, In
turning every one Of you from his in
iquities." And Paul addressing the
same, 'sThere shall come out Of Zion
the Deliverer, who shall turn away UNI
godliness from Jacob; for this Is my
covenant when l shall take away their
sin."
But this Presby terian editor, ridicules
such salvation-it ia all humbug.
''stark infidelity" in his estimation, and
Christ coming to save US from sin, Is
like "the absurd spectacle of ropes and
life-preservers thrown at an immense
expense to man who II on dry land
and in no danger Of being drowned" !"
If this gentleman would read his Bible
more aud his creed less, he would see
the folly ofsuch assertions. ..,. q.
And as salvation Is from the evils OF
this world, the New Testament repre-
sents Christians as being now saved.
'By which also ye are saved" z'For
by grace arc ye saved" "Who hath
saved u.s." According to his mercy he
sarcd u.s." "The like figure whereunto

"The Lord added to the church daily
the saved" 1.-THE preaching of the cross
is to them that perish, foolishness; but
unto us which are saved" "And the
nations Of them that arc saved shall
wake in the light of it,"
This is the current language Of the
New Testament respecting salvation
1t regards sin, error, and unbelief a,
dreadful evi's-the most deadly foes man
encounters,-andu urges him to arise
from his degradation and come forth in
to the light and life Of heaven, aud o.

Good Spelling.

A pious but illiterate deacon, in . GER
tain town in Massachusetts,, gave a
stage-driver slip Of paper, upon which,
he said, were written the names of 4
couple Of books which he wished him
to call for at book store. The driver
called at the store, and, handing the
memorandum to the clerk, said: "Therc
Is couple Of books which Deacon B,
wished you to send him." The clerk.
after careful examination Of the paper,
was unable to make "head or tale" of it,
and passed 1t to the book-keeper, who
was supposed to know something of let
ters, but to him it was also "Greek. F"
The proprietor was called, and he also
gave up in despair, and it was finally
concluded best to send the memoran.
dunn back to the deacon. It was sup
posed he must have sent the wrong pa
per. As the coach arrived at the village
inn, the driver saw the deacon standing
on the steps. .
"Well, driver" said he, ibid you get
my books to-day? ?"
Books! No! and good reason why !
for there couldn't man In Worcester
read your old hen-tracks."
"Couldn't read 'ritin? Let me zee the
paper"
The driver drew 1t from his pocket,
and passed it to the deacon, who, taking
out and carefully adjusting his glasses,
held the memorandum at arms length,
and exclaimed, as he did so, In = very
satisfied tone:
"Why, it's plain as the nose on your
face. To Sam Bu-x-two psalm
books!' guess his clerks had better go
to school q quarter"
And here the deacon made some re-
flections upon the ignorance of the
times" and the want Of attention to
books by the "rising generation which
would have been all very well If said by
