The DRUMMER Boy will be given again to
night, in accordance with the wishes of large
number who saw it played last week, and the
sale of tickets will begin at the box office at nine
O'Clock this morning. Owing to the illness Of
Mr.. Anderson, who played the part of "Mart
Howard" last week, in most satisfactory man
ner and with telling effect, his associate, Mr.. s.
j. Muscroft-the author of the drama-took
that part on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and
will personate the same character at the benefit
this evening, provided Mr.. Anderson's health
does not permit him to act. Mr. Muscroft's rem
dering of the part shows him to be an actor of
very much more than ordinary ability. AS
Mart Howard" he has his audience with him
from first to last. We understand that Messrs
Muscroft and Anderson, together with the much
admired little 'JohDny," and Others connected
with them, have kindly volunteered their SER
vices at the benefit to be given to the amateurs.
THE OPERA of Der Freischutz was performed
at our theatre last night by Max Maretzek's
German company, with fair success. The Or
chestra and chorus were fully up to expecta-
ton, and Mile Rosetti, Mile Hafiner and Him
mer, the tenor, were greeted by frequent APP
plausc. The resources of the theater were far
from equal to the requirements Of the scene in
the wolf glen, though in this respect Music hall is
not singular, for metropolitan theatres, even the
Boston, are woefully deficient in stage appoint
ments. The Agathe of RoSetti is a very sub
stantial German girl, and if she fails to make
her graceful, she does much for her vocally.
thinner has pleasing voice, and, like Fra
nosch and Wilhelm Formes, strove to render his
music well. The opera, though not especially
brilliant, gave considerable satisfaction and en-
joyment. There was good audience, though
the theatre was not filled.

SALT TEARS.

I've seen that same face of hers scores
of times since, and though it makes me
shudder, and nips me to the heart, [ al
ways go and have good long earnest
look at it, and come away better man.
You may see that face yourself-as much
like as fit had been taken from her
sad, anxious looks-you may see it at
the picture shop windows, and it's of
woman tying handkerchief round a
and it's called 1.-THE Huguenot." That s
like the look, and the face that gazed up
into mine after she'd told me what [
know now was the truth; and Yet
I'm most ashamed to own it flung her
away from me, and wouldn t believe what
she said. There was tear upon each
cheek, and the bright drops were brim-
ming in her eyes and ready to fall; but
was hard and bitter, and whispered to
myself that they were false tears, put on
to cheat me. and l ran out of the house,
swearing I'd enter it again no more.
1t wasn't a large house, that house Of
ours, but if it had been palace | don't
think it could have been happier home
than it had been for years; and of course
l know that that's foolish way of talk
ing, for happiness isn't thing to be
found in palaces, any more than in the
smallest of cottages. Tt seems to me
that real happiness grows, as it were, ont
of the true faith and the trust that a ran
and his wife have in one another while
the two working together the same way
gives them a help forward in the world
that nothing can resist.
Speaking IS a fisherman, and one who
was brought up with the sound of the
sea always in his ears, I may say we
rowed well together in the same boat,
Mary and |. had long fight of it
before | could persuade her that it would
be best for her future that she should
take me for pilot, and not Harry Pencil
lyn; but [ did persuade her at last, and
we were married, down at the little
fshernan's church at the head of the
cove.
-Four years of as happy life then fell
to my lot as could fall to that of any man
in this life, ] believe. My ways were
rough, and hers were not those of a lady,
but they suited our stations in life. and
what more would you have? Living the
life | do now. busy here about this great
city fsh-market, [ look back upon that
bright bit of life as lift was dream
though I can't settle to go back to the
old place, I cling to the fish. aud look
upon those days when west country
boat comes in, as days worth recollec-
ing: for they bring the blood in one S
cheek, and bit of light into ones eye.

SUMMER DRINKS.
From Good usalth-


The first, the best, because the safest
for laborers, inyalids, the sedentary, for
all classes, at all times a day and night,
Is half glass at time, repeated in ten
minutes. if desired, of common cold
water, at the temperature OF the spring,
OF well. or reservoir, or eistern. Ice
water Is more pala5able, but often kills.
Any drink which contains alcohol. even
cider, rect beer, or domestic con dials, all
are not only not harmless, but are posi-
lively Injurious, because the atom of al
cohol, by using the strength of the next
minute for the present. leaves the sys-
tenn the next minute lust that much
weaker than it would have been had not
that atom of alcohol been taken; this is
the CAGE because the alcohol has not one
particle of nutrimept, hence cannot sup
ply the system with one atom of strength.
If anything is added to the summer
drink. 1t should contain some nutiment,
so as to strengthen the body as well as to
dilute the blood for the purpose Of a
more easy flow through the system, as
any one knows that the thinner a fluid is
the more easily does it flow. Some of
the more nutritious and safe drinks are
given below, especially for those who
work in the sun Of summer, all to be
taken at the natural temperature of the
shadiest spot in the locality To any of
them Ice may be added, but it is a lux
ulious, not beneficial ingredient, snor a
safe one

2. A pint of molasses to a gallon of
water.
3. A lemon to half a gallon Of water
and a teacupful Of molasses, or as much
sugar.
4. Vinegar, sugar, and water are sub
stitutes, but the vinegar is not natural
ACID, contains free alcohol, hence it is not
as safe or healthful.
5. A thin Cruel made of corn or oats,
drank warm, is Strengthening.
6. A pint of grapes, currents, or gar
den berries to a half gallon of water is
agreeable.
Cold water applied to the head is very
refreshing to harvesters Wading in
water abates thirst. Persons cast away
at sea will suffer less from thirst if the
clothing is kept wrineing wet with salt
water. A piece Of silk fitted in the hat
at an equal distance from the hair and
top Of the hat, is great protection to
the head against sun heat; it is an alb
solute protection if one side is we'll COW
cred with gold leaf As there is always
space between the top of the head and
the crown of the hat, hatters should par.
ticulize this idea.

In case of the medals given by Mr..
Girard to the best pupils in certain
schools in New York during five years
past, twenty-seven of the thirty have
been awarded to children of German
parents. This has been in schools where
the Germans are strong, but not in the
majority. Not one of the medals was
given to child of French parents, Of
whom there are many III the school. One
Irish and two Americans completed the
thirty.

Some doctors leave no stone unturned
to cure patient. One in Iowa gave a

Official City and County Paper
A "REMINISCENCES OF ABRAHAM
LINCOLN.
BIZ ALICE RosBINs.

IT'D like to see the President"
An aged woman said,
And weights of care aud sorrow bent
Her gray and shaking head.
Her bonnet, faded as her hair,
Was old, ant, much too shrunk for wear.
Around, on costly touches sat
Statesmen of high degree;
And, conscious of her lonliness,
She stood most patiently,
As some coarse knava, with eoarser smile,
Told her that she must wait while.
And on the hours rolled, onward still,
Men mighty came and went;
She stood neglected, old and i'll,
Nor saw the President,
While those whom fortune favored told
Their pompous stories, free and bold.
aNo place for me" the piteous moan
Deep in her soul was spoken;
The great I fear, have hearts Of stone,
And my old heart is broken,
These all have power, bnt none have I,
My boy, my Harry, you must de-
And slow the sun came fainter down.
Upon the brilliant floor,
The trembling started at
The opening of door;
And haggard, pale, with restless eye,
Came one to whom thus piteousy;
so, sir, sire said chow hard my lot!
I've waited patiently;
Perhaps the President cannot
Be seen by such as I;
Tn very sad, and old and quaint,
and my poor boy''-her voice grew faint.
The stranger paused; sudden light
Kindled his troubled eye;
He spoke with gentle tone and mien,
With quiet gravity
'They should have sent you into me
Before they did the rest" said he.
The dame looked up in quick surprise,
Was this the nations chief?
He watched her start with smiling eyes,
sCome, tell me all your grief,
The poor and needy never went
Bnaided from the President
She told her simple tale. He heard
With royal gentleneSs,
Noting her every faltering word,
And promised full redress;
Then, gazing at the gray old head,
He smiled to see her comforted.
''Thank Godi' her tears fell quietly,
stOur land is blessed" she said,
owl IN one who honors poverty
Stands nobly at its head,
IF an old woman's benson be
Of any weight or worth to thee.
81 give it from grateful heart,
And heaven viii surely hear;
God bless thee, Abraham Lincoln; bless
All that thou holdest dear,
And make thee glorious in the land
Now smitten by the oppressor's hand.
''And when thy summons come, dear man,
And God shall take thy hand,
And lead thee to a throne of love
In His unshadowed land
May widows tears fast falling down,
Turn to rich jewels in thy crown"
And more she said; that he might die
Crowned royalty with age;
Nor saw the assassin creeping by,
Nor read the hideous page
That opened when the seal was set
On Slavory's bloody cornet.
No matter; how the sumons came
The poets lines may tell,
And paint the saddest death that e,er
The sweetest soul befeIl.
For Lincoln's fame and royalty,
God-given would not dare TO die
