When disease has undermined the health, and

distress is also a fruitful source of the breaking

found unsurpassed. By acting directly upon the
digestive organs they remove the heavy disagree

persons of delicate temperament. As soon a

OLD TIMES.

There's a beautiful song on the slumberous al
That drifts through the valley of dreams;
1t comes from cline where the eses were,
Aud tuneful heart and brieht brown hair.
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there;
A gimmering cross, glittering crown,
thorny bed and a couch Of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.
breath of spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet walls from the quivery pines
Biue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
A bubble Of brooklets, scent of buds,
Bird warblers and clambering vines.
A rosy wreath and dimpled hand,
ring and sighted VOW
Three golden links of broken band,
A tiny track on the snow-white sand,
A tear and a sinless brow.
There's tincture of grief in the beautiful song
That sobs on the slumbering air.
And loneliness felt in the festive throng.
Sinks down the soul as it trembles along
From a cline where the roses were.
We heard II first at the dawn of day,
And it mingled with matin'chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay.
And its melody foweth from far away.
And we call it now Old Times.

KNOWLEDGE Is Power That knowledge

years ago. \ crowd had gathered around
two dogs. The larger one, powerful
1Castif, had the smaller ona in his rolent-

loose his relentless hold. such as sitting
his ears and biting and pinching his tail,

looking gentleman came up and asked to
be allowed to separate the combatants.

when, drawing a smut box from his pocket,

to the mastitf@s nose, who not only released
his hold, but made of as fast rs his legs

TIE FIRST THEATRE IN New YORK. -
Tradition and very little more tells Us
that in 1873 one of the shopkeepors used
to advertise his place of business as "next
door to the playhouse" but the precise
locality OF shop or playhouse is now I'M
known. In 1850 recognized ''theatre"
was opened in the upper story of build
ing which stood on the east side of Nassau
street, between Maiden Lane and John St
Richard III. was the first play performed.
ard the eldest OF the old keans WAS the
star. A company, partly professional,
but more largely amateur, played in
this theatre till the spring of 1852, when
the place was closed. The year after, the
building was torn down, and on the site
MeSsrs. Murray 4 Kean built commodi-
Gus theatre, which was opened September
II, 1853, by Louis Hailam, with an English
company, in Steele's comedy The Corsi-
can Lovers, followed by farce. This If
nearly all that can be gathered concerning
the first place of public amusement in this
city. The drama does not seem to have
been popular, at al events it was not pat
roniZed In those days, and the Nassau
street theatre was closed for five years, ex-
cept on Sundays, when the Germans then
resident on the island used it as place OF
worship.
