The Lo1e-Letter.

She took it in her trembling hands,
That poorly served herwill;
The wave Of life on golden sands,
Stood for moment still.
She read the superscription DER,
And broke the careful seal;
The precious burden that it bore
She did not read but feel. :.
| O, earth, so green with summer now
o, sky of. heavenly blue!
O, mated birds on every bough!
Her thoughts arc not of you.
The hum of friendly tones below,
The life Of pleasant care,
That swayed her soul al hour ago,
Nowrule no longer there.
She knows love too pure and high,
For simple words to speak;
It's glory glistens in her eye,
And bushes OH her check.
It's brighter warmth about her lies,
Its fills each human need,
Enfolds her life and glorifies
The simplest word OF decd.
He has no promise to allure,
No fairy tale totell;
The skill of honest love is suro
TO work it's purpose well.
Tt scorns the flatterer's subtle art,
The worldling's acted lies; p.
But storms the fortress Of the heart,
And bears away the prize.
Yet brave as spurred and belted knigh
Moro tender still than brave, '"
He lifts the victim into light,
Himself the willing slave.
o, Love, thy kingdom stands secur'
. Born with Creations day;
The sweet dominion shall endure
When earth has passed away.

THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL APPOR.
TlONlENT.

The House of Representatives last
week, without serious debate and with
out division, passed the new apportion-
ment bill fixing the number of members
at two hundred and eighty-three, making
the average ratio of representation of one
member for an average population of
$4,000. There is an increase of forty
members beyond those in the present
Congress. Under this bill no Territory
can be admitted as a State until there is
al actual population of at least the num-
Der required for the representation of a
member. The elections for members of the
House Of Representatives are to be held
on the same day throughout the Union,
and the several States will be required to
alter their constitutions and laws in con-
formity with this provision of the appor-
tionment act. The table of distribution
of members of the present House, and
those of the new apportionment, with the
gain or loss of each State, is as follows:

John E. Owens as Gri,ualdi.

No person who can thoroughly appreciate
MIR. Owens power as an actor will doubt his
ability to comprehend and intelligeDtly
| perform the character of Grinald Mr.
Owens may not appear to as much advan-
tage in the plays of Mr.. Boucicault as in
plays that have been conceived by greater
minds; but this fact should not detract from
the actor, who, although he is a genius in
| his profession. can not be held responsible
for lack of genius in the author of Grim
aldi"
Mr.. Boucicault's plays evince neither
originality nor genius. That he possesses
talent as a dramatic author must be con
ceded. for some of his plays have become
popular; but this does not entitle him to be
ranked as man of genius, with such men
as Shakespeare, Milton, Goldsmith, Sher-
idan, Bulwer, Knowles, and other brilliant
authors, whose works do not fail to inspire
and arouse genius in such men as Mr.. Owens
The play of ''Grimaldi," though rather
pleasing with the aid of good acting, has
nothing original, striking or substantial in
it. And it certainly affords no opportunity
for an actor of rare merit to display him
self. Yet the G,1maldi of Mr. Owens is
rendered interesting, while it creates no en-
thusiasm in an audience, because there is no
good material for the display of great ac-
tors powers. The infinite humor of Mr.
Owens is pent up in Grimaldi, greatly to
the annoyance Of the actors friends and
admirers~
The Violet of Miss b. E. Gordon is
choice and delicate piece of acting. We
doubt if it could be better rendered. The
other Characters are we'll sustained by the
excellent Varieties company, and no fault
can be found with the manner in which the
manager has presented the play. But
neither beautiful scenery nor good acting
has sutficed to render the play Of "Gr-
maldi' popular in New Orleans.
On Monday evening Mr.. Owens will APP
pear as CaleJePumn,er in the beautiful play
of Dot" This piece is dramatized from
Dickens charming Christmas story entitled |
Cricket ON the Hearth" 1t has been in !
preparation for some time at the Varieties, !
and will be presented in grand style, with |
new scenery and mechanical effects The |
production OF this play by the Varieties
company, with the aid Of Nr. Owens will |
make it a most enjoyable per
during the holidays.
