WR0lneQ and Julict.:,

Romeo and Juliet was performed last
evening to full, tn ough not crowded house,
Lawrence Barrett playing Romeo to Mary
Mitchell Albaugh's Juliet. As e general
thing the performance was successful, if the
repeated and loud applause of the audience
was an indication of success. Mr.. Barrett's
Romeo was, on the whole, finely conceived,
but in the first portion of the balcony scene
VIC thought that both Romeo and Juliet
were too declamatory for love-making. In
the monologue before he called on the
apothecary, Mr.. Barrett did scanty Justice
to the soliloquy that Shakespeare has putin
the mouth of Romeo. Nothing can be finer
or more natural than the conception of
Shakespeare in this soliloquy. A broken
hearted man, weary of life, tries to beguile
his grief in every way; and so, as he bethinks
him of the apothecary, Romeo tries to miti-
gate his misery, by a fanciful description to
himself and the apothecary with whom he
proposes to deal. With these two excep-
tons, we must give Mr.. Barrett unqualified
praise. julie. was very happy in her deal
ing with the chattering old nurse, sweet,
tender and womanly. Her conception Of
the part was admirable. Acrcutio, although
he did his part with credit, was, We think,
at fault in his description of Queen Nab.
Mereutio is not speaking a piece he is
extemporizing. A little hesitation and less
clibness in the rendering would have been
more acceptable.

Is SUCCESS THE TEST OF MERIT We be-
licve that there are few philosophers OF this
date who Will attempt to deny that success
is really and properly the test Of merit. In
former days, when learning was within only
the reach OF the few who had wealth or
birth, it was quite easy for be that had a
few Accomplishments more than his fellow 8
to overslaugh them and to acquire wealth
and fame. But now, when knowledge is
happily within the reach Of even the most
humble, and when the peGantic ass is es
easily detected as the skillcss hotch in the
mechanical arts, he that can achieve success
must have superior merit. This il position
Look, for example, at the success Of Wash
burn, as q photographer, in this city. Who
will have the hardihood 70 affirm that lis
success is not due to his real merit in pro-
ducing the very best pictures ever pro-
duced il the South. Or. who can say that
he has not at all times had the wisdom TO
gather around him all the best talen; Of the
country in his department Of ART! Therein
consists his merit-brains.

TIE WORK-B SEWING MAcEISE.-It is
really worth the while of our lady readers
to go to the depot Of the Grover & Baker
Sewing Machine Company, No. ls2 Canal
street, and look at those beautiful and easy
working little sewing machines which they
sell, Enclosed IN an elegant work-box, for the
very moderate sum Of fifty dollars each.
Those machines are SO arranged that they
can be worked either by crank and pedal,
or by hand, and are perfection itself IA re-
CARDS finish and the quality of the work
they are capable of doing. One OF them in
a house is worth its weight in gold.
