under the most favorable auspices, and from
present indications 1t Is likely TO become popular

excellent variety programme presented to the
patrons Of the house. The performance opened
with an amusing little negro sketch called the
magic Boz which was followed BY songs,
dances ugntrope exhibitions and other attrac.

aria OF the third act was delivered by her with a
dramatic majesty and intense feellng that brought

OCTOBER.

rbe rust is over the red OF the clover;
And green is under the gray.
And down in the hollow the fleet winged
swallow
Is flying away and away.
Fled are the roses. dead are the roses,
The low and the glory done.
And down in the hollow the leet winged
swallow
Flying Away to the sun.
In place of The summer, dread new conner
In solemn state renews;
A crimson splendor instead Of the tender
Daley, aud the darling dews.
But oh. the sweetness, the full complete
That under his reign arc born.
Rmsset and yellow in apples mellow;
And wheat; and millst, aud corn.
His fross so boary touch with glory
Maple, aud oak, and thorn;
And rising aud falling; bis winds are call
ing.
Like hunter through bis horn.
No thrifty sower, bui just Q mower
That comes when the day is done,
With warmth a-bea ming. and gold a.gleam'
ing,
Like sunset after the run.
And while fair weather and frost together
Color the woods so gay,
We must remember that chill December
Has turned his steps this way.
And say, as we gather in the house togeth/
And pile the logs on the hearth,
Help ns to follow the light little swallow,
Fen to the ends of the earth.
