EVENING HYMN,

The sun, half hid from mortal vleY,G
Now bathes himself in hoods ofgold +.
And now, unseen, the arch OF blue,
Ten thousand radient worlds unfold,
AS through the, Shades OF night are seen
Those cleaning Qrbs concealed by day.
The hope Of heaven, that blissfulday'
Perhaps some. kindred spirit sings -,
Beyond those bright fesplendent sheres,
And waits to lend her golden%lngs,
Towaft me from this vale pftearS!
Oil Thou. whose throne y based ION
That Wheel their rounds pl4dpgh endless
neat tft6i Inv right when fate Jinflns
Hef gloomy scroll, my,resting-p place.
AS now kneel in natures fame,
lWhose burnish'd lamps are worlds OF
Nv 1il s1pinl talks with those that reign
Above the spangled arch of night;
And, wfapt ln'awe, hear the theme
Which. through theheayenly organ rlhs'
Which from the Throne Eternal springs
oh that some angel Of the skies ~. ~,
Would, while | gaze on heavens hisl
Unlock, and to my lingering eyes
Reveal my future blissful home!
NV ts5irit, calm as Cyhthia's. beam, ;.
Wouid; soar beyond each starry sphere,
Nnd there, arrayed in light, would dreall
No nf6re of things that grieve me mere
10 thee bow, Eternal One, ,
Who wovc the gorgeous robe OF nlght,
And ask that Thou, thy Will ne uone
Wouldst fill, from some bright urn
MY thirsty soul; ;ana like you star,
OH! may that fght but cease TO glare
In hc.iVc.'s own bright, eternal Day

But In the latter part Of the last century mechanism

words Piano and J TasS mean softly and SSd

class OF instrument and the music written for It, Since

Mozart and Beethoven would look upon one Of our

of the instrument have not changed The object Of the

THE DRAMA.

WALLACK's TnEATER-THE JEALOUS WIFE.
The most interesting performance that has
taken place at Waacks Theaer since the opening took
place there Monday, when The Jealous Wife" was
acted in the presence OF full house. and Miss Plessy
Mordsunt made lrer first appearance on the American
stage. 1t is very violent assumption that a play
which before the public for more than hun
dred years pretty well known and therefore, may
suppose that mnutry careful comment on The Jealous
Wife will scarcely be expected 1t shows that close
observation OF human nature in the invariabe and
perennial methods OF manfcstng character and passion,
for which Comans writings distinguished He
understood men and they in all times, no
less than the aspects social in his particular
age The drawing Of jealousy in this piece is indeed,
somewhat coarsely donefOr the Jealous wife s almost
yirago and her habits OF thought as mean as her
conduct Is suspicious, ntemperae, and ill-bred The
delineation, however "a made instrumental In evokng
some comic situations and One-the interview between
Mrs. Oakley and Lady FreelOre-whch is vital with truth
full analysis of the sptefu side of feminine nature and bril-
liant with terse opposite dialogue Colman is we'll
known indebted to the novel OF tom Jones' for the
suggestion OF the main idea OF the comedythe flight Of
Miss Russell In the one, corresponding to the flight OF
Sophia In the other But the conduct Of the plot, the
delneaton Of the characters, and the management OF
the dialogue his and they in his ablest STYLE
The piece was set upon the stage with mostly new
scenery, and though Miss Plessy Mordaunt-who re-
ceved cordial greeting-was naturally little nus
rated and therefore, fful and uncertain, the repre-
sentation passed smoothly and effectively Miss Nor
daunt chiefly impressed observers by the ripe and
uxuriant beauty Of her personal appearance. She Is
handsome. In the imperial way; and through all the
turbulence OF the temperament she depleted and all
the restless vacillaton OF her own pertur5ed mood
she evinced a womany sweetness which made her
beauty the winning. She has manesty suoleo IN
the good old school Of comedy-acting She displayed
control Of the weapons Of feminine dupclty
and raiery, and showed herself to be the mistress OF
Mysteries. Upon the fneness and the reach o her art II
was not possible To form positive judgment The indi-
| cations OF the most promising character; and
VIC shall hope TO have the opportunity OF seeing
the actress in character OF higher caber and more
various color Mr. Fisher played Mr. Oakley in the easy
and gracefully finished manner peculiar to him. and Mr.
Rnggold gave carefully polished and really excellent
deineation OF Lord Trinket For Miss Plessy Mordaun

surprisingly brilliant is rich in promise The lady
