Prof Scharf in his inimitable reading of Gold

quer.' The manner of the Professor is singular
ly fitted for his profession, his voice is rich and
varied in its tone, his style of mimcry IS unap-
prbachable; he has I'll the facial requisites for
the stage, and we are decidedly OF the opipQn that
an excellent actor was spoiled tothe world, when
Mr.. Scharf took the chair of o professor, His
