! met her at the skating rink,
Swift flying Ter the ice,
And said, before I'd time to think
'She does it very nice
So lightly poised on one small foot,
The other tucked away.
She seems Bird Of Paradise.
Just touching earth to-day.
But at the Club Of Bachelors.
I've registered vow,
That I'm too poor to marry yet,
So IN not hnger now
But one small moment did | stop,
She was so swift and light,
To see her take the - outside roll,
Then meant to take my fight
When as looked, AN auburn curl
Streamed out upon the air.
Cleaning Just like spun fairy gold.
And held me pris ncr there
A pair OF great gray eyes then glanced,
Sparkling with fun at me;
Beneath little nose. her mouth
Peuched bewitchingly.
Why, it was Kate my loyhood's friend!
How had she grown 50 wild?
She seemed sanity little nun
When she was bu! child.

So many looking on,
But when she smiled, All, we'll knew
The mischief all was done
"The only man who skates with me
This year.' said saucy Kate,
Must bind the bargain with Il ring
Speak quick, or vow re too late y
The first propose! e er had
IL took my breath away;
Confused and blu.hing, said - Yes
And named an early day,
How all the Bachelors will stare,
And how they all will chaf.
But have gained treasure rare,
On my side is he laugh.

THnArRE.-whether it is owing to the reason

THEATRE.-Whether it is owing to the reason
that IL is nearly the last day of the year and
people are too much occupied settling up bust
ness, and taking account of stock, to attend
public amusements, we do not know. But of
one fact we are certain, and that is that the
size of the audience last nightat Deering Hall
Portsmouth, so wildly described in Nicholas
Nickleby, when the startling announcement
was made behind the scenes that the sum of
two pound ten had actually been taken at the
door. Now we have had many theatrical com.
panies in Portland far inferior to Mr.. Coles,
and they have drawn good paying audiences,
while the present one languishes for want of
support This should not be.
Last night we witnessed the performance of
"Paul Pry," one of Poole's comedies which has
long been favorite with the public Mr.. Coles
made very good Paul Pry-not Warren
representation or Stuart Robson-but very
funny and acceptable impersonation. Mr.. A.
Beckett was capital Colonel Harding,

A NEW VRLooIPEDE.-Mr. Duncan Norris
on of this city has Invented velocipede
which he confidently anticipates will meet
with the approval of the public in much
larger degree than the "Paris" or any other
velocipede that has heretofore appeared. In
stead of two wheels, Mr.. Morrison's model has
three, but the addition of fourth is contem-
plated. There is no difficulty in learning to
manage this machine, and no "riding school,
win be necessary. the equilibrium of the
rider is maintained without any trouble. The
motive force is communicated by the hands
instead Of the feet, though it is contrived IN
such a manner that both hands aud feet may
be used. if desirable. The steering is managed
by shaft connecting with the forward wheel,
the shaft being governed by the knee of the
rider. The carriage will he in appearances
like an ordinary buggy, and may be drawn by
horse in the ordinary way when necessary.
The whole continuance is exceed. ngly ingen-
ious, and besides the main design there are
several new inventions connected with it-a
Jump seat, a break and a combined seat and
step which it is designed to cover by
one patent. The speed to be obtained is ex.
pected to be greater than that of the veloci-
pedes now in use. A model for actual service
will be completed in short time and its ad.
vent will be anticipated with great interest
by our citizens

G. A. R.-The sixth entertainment of this
popular course is concert to be given at City
Hall tomorrow night by Bertrand Listemann
violnist; Arbuckle the cornet player; Miss
Gates, Soprano; Miss Ryan contralto; and
Mr.. Ryder pianist Mr.. Listemann is quite q
young man but we have been given to under.
stand by parties who know, and are capable Of
judging that he is a superior player; and is
entitled to rank with the first yiolinists of the
day. Mr.. Arbuekle is well known here and
therefore it is unnecessary to make further
comment in regard to him Miss Ryan also
has an established reputation in the city. Miss
Gates is also stranger but, judging from the
former concerts under the auspices Of
the G.. A R., she will no doubt achieve
a triumph. Mr.. Ryder is the usual accompan.
list of these concerts. We hope and expect to
see crowded house on the occasion, for New
Years eve leaves many at leisure VINO can
spend the evening in no pleasanter way than
by attending this entertainment, and showing
their appreciation of the energy shown by the
committee in providing such q feast of music
for their improvement and delectation as
they have exhibited the present season.

BRIEF LocALs.-The new block, which has
been erected by Isaac F. Sturdevant ESQ. and
Nathan Cummings Esq on Exchange street
next to the Cumberland Bank building, con-
tains two fine stores ON the ground floor
which we understand are to be occupied re-
spectively by Chesley Brothers, and Cook and
Ayres, Merchant Tai1ors.
The steam fre-engina Casco, was actively
employed yesterday morning filling the els
tern ola large machine shop, from the reser.
voir on the lot on Exchange street next to
Sturdevant & Cummings new block.
There was meeting ofthe Directors of the
Maine Central railroad, at the st. Julian Ho-
tel, yesterday.
We are glad to hear that both Mr.. Miller
and MIR. Charles Rogers are more comfortable
Mr.. Miller is considered out of danger; and
Mr.. Rogers passed very comfortable night
Monday, and had rallied considerably yester-
day.
The reserved seats for Mr.. Forests perform.
ance are going off quite briskly at Paine's
Music store.

New YEARS DAY.-We trust that none of
our wholesale merchants will go back on the
paper they have signed, agreeing to give
Christmas and New Years Day to the clerks
in their employ. We understand that such
has been the case, in some instances, the last
year or two, although we can hardly credit
that man would deliberately break his word
We have few enough holidays in this country
TO attempt to defraud a Woodworking man of
the enjoyment of the one or two claimed by
him. "All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" A liberal policy pursued by an en-
ployer towards his employee is usually return
ed four-fold by the interest the clerk takes in
advancing his employers interests. The oppo-
site course results in the employed simply
doing what he has to do in the shortest posi-
BILE time, and without caring a button wheth-
er the business suffers or not. Stick to your
signatures then gentlemen, and let the begin
ming of the New Year be a happy one in deed
as we'll as in name.

DEATH OF Mr.. MoULToN.-We regret to

In this city for long period and was senior

For long time past he has been President of

FINE YoUTHs PAPER.-The youths Com
panion," in its new form of eight pages, is one
of the handsomest weeklies published. The
first number, just issued, is filed with a great
variety of delightful reading, has fine illustra-
tions,-and, taken as whole, is certainly a
most attractive sheet for either young or old.
Many years ago, when it was first published by
Mr.. Willis, many boy or girl thought there
was no reading to be compared with it, but this
number shows thatwhiie it has grown in years
it has also grown in vigor, interest and bril-
liancy. 1t is for sale by all newsdealers.

THE REPRESENTATIVE QUEsTIoN.-We are
obliged out of pure good nature to tell the Ad-
vertiser and its correspondent Foul-we beg
pardon" Fair Play" that the Republican city
committee is composed of fourteen members
aud that eight members are majority of that
body. The Advertiser shows so little sympa-
thy with the party and expresses so little graf
ification at its successes that it can hardly be
expected to keep we'll informed as to its inter-
nal policy. In fact it takes so little interest in
political matters that it has an impression that
"uere aoas no Senatorial contest" in September.
Pray when was Senatorial contest? last
year? or will it be next? One would suppose
that the people would have this matter in
mind when electing the Legislature upon
which it is incumbent to select Senator.
Finally, what is the Advertiser growing
about? 1t acknowledges that the nomination
made by the convention was "creditable." The
Republican candidate is elected by an over
whelming majority, and the Advertiser and
all the world are free to take such view of his
purposes and of the significance of his cleo
ton as they choose. His election was the act
of the Republican party of Portland, proceed
ing in the ordinary way. and it better becomes
the enemies of that party to criticise its action
team its professed friends.
