THEATRE.-The first entertainment for the
relief of the Chicago sufferers, drew very fair
audience at Music Hall last evening, although
by no means as large as it should have been.
The performance commenced with the thrill
ing drama entitled, the Murder at Manchester,
which was very finely presented. Miss Fanny
Herring as Tom, the dumb boy, displayed her
acting to great advantage, and received fire.
quent and hearty demonstrations of applause.
In the scene in the second act, here the
dumb boy discovers the assassin in the act OF
second victim, and in the subsequent terrible
struggle, her acting fairly unclaimed the au.
dience by its power and pathos. rb
This evening second benefit to the Chicago
sufferers will he given, when another splend
bill will be presented, consisting of the beauti
full drama of the Cabin Boy and the iayorte
drama Irish drama of ireland as it Was. Miss
Herring will appear in both pieces. Our citi

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.
Commercial Union Assn rance Company


We call special attention to the flattering ex-
hibt made of the condition of this Company,
and to the fact that at the last session of Parl-
ament, during the debates on the Insurance
laws. the Commercial Union was referred to
as model Company, not only as regards its
strength and careful and successful manage
ment, but.ialso as to the lucidity OF its ac-
counts.
Reference to its Board of Directors will dis
close the fact that it consists of some of the
heaviest Bankers, Merchants and Manufactur-
ers in England; and its references in this coun-
try are of the highest character.

accomplished astonishing feats of
strength in conveying the noisy groups,
over the hard snow paths to the little

few and far between, and they were
crowded TO their utmost capacity to

SPRING LAY.
Under the moss change wastes and weaves,
With busy, tireless hand;
Over it, hope braids buds and leaves,
On LIES fragile web of sand.
The lean, hungry years.
Feed full on the tears,
Froze froze, DER the dust,
And unsightly rust,
OF this broldered earth-wrought band.
Under the moss long have slept,
AS the weary take sweet rest,
And darkened skies have sad tears wept,
For the flow'r they loved the best.
The violet wild,
The meek forest child,
Gone, gone, early gone,
Ere frost touched the lawn,
Or the hare-bels sapphire vest.
Over the moss, by Springs voice called,
Pendant pearls the willows shake;
And fettered brooks, now disenthralled,
Sing to the snow-drop and brake.
Now the sunbeams call,
Through my prison wall,
Bloom gone, early gone,
Ere frost touched the lawn,
From thy winter sleep awake!
Under the moss long have lain,
Like an infant in its tomb
But freshened now come again,
In brighter dress to bloom.
And | whisper low,
Where the mourners go,
Those gone, early gone,
Ere sin dimmed their dawn,
In safer homo find room.
Under the moss 1 hid away,
From the wasting winds and heats
AS tender love- the young and gay,
Hides ere the sorrow-storm beats.
The fairest and best,
In heavenly rest.
Hides, hides safely hides,
Ere grief with it's tides,
Can bitter life's tempting sweets.
Under moss men hide their deeds,
And masked wrong seems right;
But justly God apportions needs,
BY the measure of His sight.
The good will be known,
And Ill overthrown,
Where change is at rest,
And hope, to the blest,
Is merged in the Living Light.

And pain forever in my head

What makes the ladies on me scowl,
And shun me as they would an OWL

What makes my teeth 30 dark, yes, black,
And my dentist stand in horror back,
And say I'm shiftless too and slack?
Tobacco!
What makes me when called on to speak,
Quick to the door or spittoon sneak,
md blush for fear my mouth will leak?
Tobacco!
What makes me banker for bad rum,
Which sends me drunken staggering home,
And soon will seal my wretched doom?
Tobacco
What makes my dlckey so streak'd and grey,
And my laundress scolding all the day,
While am whlstling my time away?
Tobacco!
What makes my room so smoky and grim,
While my chambermaid's eyes grow dim,
As che poutlng says, "deuce take him ?"

Wy boarding mistress busters about,
Then comes to settle my account,
md pointing the door she says walk out,
