The PneRMs.-There was very fine pri-
vate rehearsal of this cantata at City Hall last
evening, with all the characters in proper cos
tune The music has been studied diligently,
and will be found, this evening, we doubt not,
very pleasing and effective, and the stage
groupings worthy of the hand of a professional
stage manager. The scenes where the Indians
occupy the stage exclusively are particularly
brilliant, and the dresses have been gotten up
with remarkably good taste. The Puritan cos
tunes are equally faithful, though of course less
snowy, but there is life in the Pilgrims, and
the dramatic action is well sustained. The
piece closes with splendid tableau, in which
the company will appear; and we think it will
be pronounced one of the finest stage effects
ever produced in Portland. Five scenes in the
Courtship of Miles Standish follow the cantata,
and it is the hands of some gentlemen and lad
les who will do them full justice.

BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The perceptive fac
ulty of women is usually keener than the same
chronological organ in men. Women know
that beauty rather than genius is worshipped
by the sterner sex. A man may talk of the lat
ter to his lady-love, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the form
er. Women are fond of admiration; hence one
of their longings is to be beautiful The grand
secret of female beauty is health, the power to
eat digest and assmilate proper quantity of
wholesome food. Take VINEGAR BIrrERs 1t
will cleanse the stomach, tone the vital organs,
give a perfect digestion, purify the blood,
clear up the complexion and produce state of
mental and physical electricity, which gives
symmetry of form, bright eyes, white skin,
glossy hair and genuine type of female lowell
I ness, which no cosmetic can produce.

A MELANCHOLY BREAK-DowN.-Ther are
lively break-downs that make an audience
laugh, and there are sad and sorrowful break
downs that make the kind-hearted grieve. To
the latter class belongs the enervation of body
and mind which is usually called general de-
bility," or nervous weakness" aud which,
when neglected, too often terminates in atropy
and death. A wholesome medicated stimulant
is the one needed in cases of this description,
and science and experience unite in pointing to
PLANTATION BTTERs as the true specific. The
fact that it combines the properties of an in
vigorant with those of regulator and altera-
tive, in exactly the proportions necessary to
produce radical change in the tone of the sys
tenn, and the action of the digestive and secret
i've organs is an unanswerable argument in it
favor as general restorative.

credit to an old smoker. The young lady is
