WARDS OPERA HoUsE.-Ward is determ-
ined that the last week of the season shall be
brilliant one, and has sput upon the boards
company that gives very entertaining per-
formance The programme will immediately
commend itself to the many. patrons of this
popular place of amusement. They will hasten
to avail themselves of the last opportunity
for some time to see variety acting.
The programme opens with the Imaginable
sketch ''The Intelligent Ape" which affords
an opportu Unity for Mr.. John Denier, man
monkey, and Cummings and Wambold, to dis
play their powers. Wambold and Cummings
have another chance in the side-spllttng
sketch sThen You Don't Take 1t.
Miss Maggie Deniers aviary of performing
birds is an interesting feature of the entertain
ment, and really rivals the hen show. The
little pets are wonderfully intelligent, and
their performances are very amusing.
Another novel feature is furnished in the
performance of the one legged comedians,
Harper and Stansill, who display remarkable
agility considering their manned condition.
AS dancers they can discount many men who
possess the usual number of legs.
The gymnastic exploits of John Denier,
Matt Mccormick and George Lopez commend
themselves to the audience. The performance
closes with ga Slippery Day." in which that
vigilant guardian of the peace. Mr.. Napoleon
NJ Fadden proves great hit.
Friday evening the complimentary concert to
Messrs. j. D. Ward and. j. III. Cummings
comes off. We look to see the hall packed in
recognition of the endeavors of these gentle
men to entertain the Portland public. Messrs.
Bartlett and Arnold have kindly volunteered
their services for the occasion.

Mechanics Course.
Lecture by Rev. Mt. Bickneii'

The fifth lecture in the Mechanics course
was delivered last evening by Rev. Geo. w.
Bicknell; subject, Through by Daylight" Inc
lecture was closely listened to by the large au-
dence in attendedance.
Waiting in depot one day, the speaker sald'
to take the cars for a distant place, attention
was drawn to q placard advertising tram
which ran over the road IN the day time, and
which was recommended to those who desired
to enjoy the delightful scenes and beauties OF
the country. The journey could have been
made in the night; but then, instead OF seeing,
the traveller would have been sleeping-all OPP
portunties for knowledge of the way neglect
ed, and he would not have been gamer BY the
experiences of the jnurney-butto realize WHICH
he must go through by daylight,
The speaker likened this earth existence to a
misunderstanding a country beautiful, WIN
glorious opportunities demanding attention
from ALL People pass over it in various seasons.
Some are always in the night-some journey
half in the night, and are melancholy IN tne
day. Some go through in vigor and cheer. 9th
ers seek the shadow, and are in the mlsts
Some seek only the best privileges-o are
constantly burdening themselves with needless
difficulties. Some are always weeping lest they
may have cause to weep, and are miserable
ones because they fear misery at some future
period. But IN TINS lie tneTe Is mucn HoIe
sunshine than darkness, and it is our duty to
pass our life in ali the brightness possible We
have great labors to perform, in all of which
we need the light of day.
We require to ego through by daylight" to
see the opportunities which are or may be ours
for advancement. In the light we can see ard
grasp them, but not in the dark 1t is not al
ways the man who has the greatest privileges
at his command who realizes the most, but it is
the man who improves what he has.
The idea was elaborated and made to apply
to the conditions of society and circumstances
of life. The lecture contained many Dright
thoughts, and was finely delivered.
