this Tableau Mrs. c. Misses T, Miss A, Miss
81, and Miss D took part, and while it was not
so striking as the one preceding, still In gen.
eral way it was rather better ..a.,-,,..a p. .
Next in order we had Coming Thro' The
Rye'-a tableau which brought back very
many pleasant associations, and reminded US
of similar occasion .last year. The .Tableau
was perfect-the smile of the young Virginia
lady, as she glanced at her sult0r was so taunt-
ingly sweet, that it reminded us of those hap
py days, when we, too, were blessed with
youth to enjoy the realities which We can but
remember and sigh The young gentleman
who was honored so highly, as to take part in
this scene, could scarcely have appreciated his
position-to us, he seemed to be rather amused
to the happiness that we should have expe-
rienced only to have touched the tips Of those
fingers, but we beg pardon, our time presses,
and We must hasten on. 59a-4ss
The fifth was scene from the Corsair, ''The
Release of Conrad - Mr.. S, OF T, and Miss
r, of s. G., were the principals. We would
fain glance at this scene In passing, bad not the
rattle Of ssConrad 81 chains reminded us, alasl
of the manacles of our own native State.
Next In order came the Foolish Virgins"
Mrs. q. and Miss B. were the actors in this
Tableau. Unfortunately just here, we were
called upon to pull the curtain" and we must
be excused from saying a word, except that we
expect it was good, knowing the capacity OF
the ladies IN question.
The seventh-"Vlllage Gossips' was exc
cuted by Miss L. L 7, Miss j., and Miss B.,
all of whom We have seen before In this letter.
and hence there is no necessity for another in
PRODUCTION to their many charms
Next came the Eastern Scene," in which
Messrs. NJ, q, w and s, and Misses T. j, B,
4 and d took part. This Tableaux could
scarcely be described without Injustice to some,
and with only word or two more in regard to
the last, we will bid you adieu.
The ninth and last was complete and per-
feet burlesque and eelipsed the preceding Fab
leaux, and brought down thunders of applause
from the entire audience-it was the Bridal
Scene" In the centre of the stage was hung
huge old fashioned bride, which perhaps had
been worn by some dear departed quadruped,
who had long since journeyed to the far off
land where all good old horses 60. For mo-
ment the spectators scarcely appreciated the
sell, but very few moments were sufficient to
deaten our ears with their evidences of grati6-
cation and amusement at the tGaaie-but we
are claiming too much of your valuable space.

BLACKBERRY WINE.-To every gallon of
the fruit allow quart of boiling water; mash
the berries; pour the boiling water on them,
and stir them up well, cover and let it stand
until the following day. Then having stirred
all again, strain the liquid into the cask, addiog
good brown sugar in the proportion of two
pounds TO each gallon cork it tight. The
wine will be ready for use in the course of au-
tumn. Still another way is to fill keg or cask
three -fourths full with sound black ckberries;
then fill up the cask with molasses, close it
tight and set it in dry, cool place until win
ter. The liquid may then be poured off, and
will be found an agreeable common wine, and
the berries will make good pies.

Do You ever forget l.?

A little boy went up into his room one night,
said his prayers very properly, and went to bed.
But he could not sleep. He tossed from side
to side, counted hundred forwards and back
wards, rected to himself the multiplication
table, long poems and hymns; but try as he
might, he could not get to sleep. He had neg
lected something, and it had weighed so heavily
upon his conscience, that it was impossible for
him to find rest AT last he got up, CROPPED his
way down stairs, to his mothers room, and
timidly knocked at the door.
Nv hos there? cried his father.
sit is |, pa.
well, who are you p ,.--
He had several other children, aud, upon
first awakening, could not distinguish the voice.
1T is Met, pa. Please let me come in
wv hat do you want, Met? Are you sick 2"
No, sir L am not sick, but must see moth
err
At this the mother got up in the dark and
unfastened the door. When the little boy found
her, he threw his arms around her neck and
kissed her warmly. There were tears on his
cheeks, and fears in his voiue when he cried,
'Oh! mother, | went to bed without kissing
you. | FORGET it, mother; indeed did and [
could not sleep when thought OF it.
You may be sure his mother was by this time
in tears herself They were tears oil gratitude
to God for having given her such an affectionate
again and again, AMI with a blessing upon him
dispatched him again to bed The burden off
his conscience, he soon fell asleep; and never
again, until he lett home man, to battle with
the great wicked world, did he forget to kiss
his mother good night.
Now story is not worth much which does
not point moral. p" III rlrF
1t seems to me, little children who forget to
pray before they go to sleep at night, should
feel far worse than the little boy who forgot to
kiss his mother. Aud some little ones too for
get their prayers. They are SO very sleepy when
they do grow sleepy, that they fall down any
where, and before they know it they are sound
asleep, without ever asking God to take care of
them through the dark, long night. Now, if
God were as forgettul as they are, he might for
get to take care of these forgetful little ones,
and death might come and lock them in his
cold embrace before they could ever see the
beautiful sunlight again
Dear little ones, let the good night prayer to
God go with the goodnight kiss to dear MAN.
ma, and 10 the course OF time you will not be
able to do without either, except through pain.
The time may come when you will not have
dear mother to kiss good night, for God may
take mother to himself; but there never will be
time when you cannot pray to God. You
need not grope for him in the darkness, down
the stairway, for he is by you in your chamber,
1t matters not where, nor how dark it may be-
Do not forget to kiss mother good d-night, but,
above all things. do not forget to ask God to
take care OF you before you 90 to sleep, and not
only you, but your father, mother, brothers,
sisters, and all friends. Do not forget your
prayers.

WHO ARE HAPPY ?-Lord Byron said. The
mechanics and workiDgmen who can maintain
their families are, In my opinion, the happiest
body Of men. Poverty is wretcheduess; but
even poverty is, perhaps, to be preferred to the
heartless, unmeaning dissipation of the high
order Another author says: 1 have no
popensity to envy any one, least of all the rich
and great; but if disposed to this weakness, the
subject of my weakness would be a healthy
young man, in full possession of his strength

work for his wife and children, or bring them

There's a feet of ships a-sailing
From an unknown Southern cline,
Of the sunny Bay of Promise
To'ard the busy wharf of Time.
IT'S the feet of good Queen Summer,
And l know her ships by name

Staunch old ships of ancient fame!
Once year we hail them gladly;

And her sails all set to music. ~
Coming in with wind and tide.
In her foamy wake like Naiads,
Golden haired the sunbeams play;
And fragrant breath of spices
Floats before her up the Bay.
Hark! hear her happy sailors ksfisa m
