The MUsEUM.-"East Lynne was brought
out at the Museum last evening in manner
certainly surprising any rendition of it given
hele before. TWAS handsomely and appro-
priately mounted, and excellently played. The
presentation, too, was singularly free from the
faults OF first-nght performance, though the
actors did not show quite that vivacity perhaps
which larger house would have inspired. The
play, despite its obvious faults which are due
to the novel itself rather than to it's dramatiza-
tion, is popular one, and its situations appeal
strongly to the sympathies of many. It's chief
merit is in the double Characterization of ''Lady
Isabel" and MADAME Vine' These furnish
scope for great emotional power and express
sion. The opportunities thus given were well
improved by Miss Waldron, who certainly am
ply met the arduous requirements Of her part
being arch, sprightly and vivacious in the first
scenes, and profoundly pathetic in the closing.
As is her custom in new roles she gave her au-
dience decided surprise, and another proof of
her versatility. This time her success was vo-
cal. In the song which she sings to Archibald
in the first act she displayed sweet. sympa-
thetic aud cultivated voice.
1Aioc btAdttOu gave du cACCilCub TeQulLtOQ OF
Barbara Hare The character is rather
negative one, its only noticeable attributes be-
ing loving confidence and an even disposition.
The role is quieter than any Miss Stratton has
yet att empted, and she acquitted herself with
marked credit. The ''Cornie Carlyle" of Mrs
Preston was an excellent impersonation. The
asperities of that ancient maiden's temper and
her manner of expressing her opinions on very
slight provocation were admirably pictured
Miss Ulmer's Joyce" was vivaciously ami nat
urally done.
Mr.. Arnold gave finished and effective i'm.
personation of "Francis Levison'' His rem.
dition lacked that air of cynical effrontery
which one often sees given to the character
In this respect it is rather an improvement On
the conventional impersonatioE. Mr.. Norris
was quiet, gentlemanly and natural as "Arch-
ibald Carlyle" Mr.. Sutherland was sufficient
ly dignified and paternal as "Mount Severn
Mr.. Bascomb acquitted himself with much
credit as "Richard Hare" A good word
should be spoken for Little LATHE os the child

fool or genus. Is genus very bad,
Nat ~ added Ruth, relenting, as she
saw his dreamy eyes light up with what
she fancicd was a spark of anger.
'Aunt Becky thinks so; but 1 don't,
and, though may not be one, sooner
or later folks shall see that I'm no fool,
for | feel, l know l was not born to hoe

"What will you do ?" cried Ruth,
startled by the almost passionate energy
with which he spoke.
It'll I'm twenty-one I'll stay to do
my duty. When the time comes I'll
break away and try my own life, for L
shall have right to do 1t then.
"And leave me? Nay, I'll not let
you 60" And Ruth threw her dande-
lion chain about his neck, claiming her
bondsman with the childish tyranny he
found so sweet
He laughed and let her hold him, see-
ing how frail the green links were lit
tie dreaming how true symbol it was
of the stronger tie by which she would
hold him when the time came to choose
between liberty and love.
"Five years is long time, Ruthy.
You will get tired of my odd ways and
be glad to have me go. But never fret
about it !; for, whatever happens, I'll not
forget you"
Quite satisfied with this promise, the
little maid fell to sticking buttercups in
the band of the straw hat her own nim-
bic fingers had braided, as if bent on
securing one crown for her friend. But
Nat, leaning his head upon his hand,
sat watching the sunshine glitter on the
placid stream that rippled at his feet,
with such intentness that Ruth present.

What is it? A kingfsher or a tur-

"It's the river, dear. 1t seems to

Ruth fixed her blue eyes on the bluer
water, listened for an instant. then
laughed out blithely, and sprung up,
saying;

The boys face fell, the dreamy look
faded, and, with a patient sort of sigh,
he rose and followed her, leaving his
broken dream with his beloved book
among the butter-cups. But, though
he sat by Ruth in the shadow of the al
der bushes, his rod hung idly from his
hand, for he was drawing bright fancies
from a stream that she never saw, was
dimly feeling that he had harder knot
to disentangle than his little friend S
and family hearing higher call thar

The Kiss.

The singing school had been dismissed
And at the Yestry door
offered her my arm that night;
had not dared before.
Her small, white hand upon my sleeve,
Oh I can feel It still
Il sent through every nerve and vein
A sweet electric thrill
We hurried not we loitered ON,
OF love we never spoke,
But through the trifles which we talked
Loves undertone unbroke.
We stopped before her fathers gate,
Her brown curls on her breast;
One hand was gently clasped in mine,
Her form closely pressed.
Her upturned iace-sweet confidence
The love light in her eyes,
shone chaste and pure, and brighter than
The moonlight from the skies.
And as looked my shame dissolved,
Our lips met-and, oh blissl
Immortal Loves ecstatic fame
Had focus in that kiss
Evil and few the patriarch's days,
Yet he was old and gray;
But had touched eternal joy
Though had died next day.

Thoughts on The Cone
n1dndn1entS.

Love your neighbor as yourself
SO the parson preaches;
That's one-half the decalogle-
SO the prayer book teaches.
Half my duty can do
with but little labor;
For with all my heart and soul
do love my neighbor
Mighty little credit. that,
To my selEdenial;
Not to love her, though, might be
Something of a trial.
Why, the rosy light that peeps
Through the glass above her
Lingers round her lips; You see
Zen the sunbeams love her
So, To make my gloiy more,
I'll go beyond the letter;
Love my ueighbor as myselfl
Yes, and ten times better.
For she's sweeter than the breath
OF the spring that passes
Through the fragrant, budding woods,
Der the meadow grrsses
And I've preached the word know,
For 1t was my duty
To convert the stubborn heart
OF the little beauty.
Once again success has crowned
Missionary labor,
For her sweet eyes own that she
Also loves her neighbor

DON'T SCOWL.

Don't scowl, it spoils faces. Before
you know it, your forehead will resem-
bic a small railroad map. There is
grand trunk line now from your cowliek
to the bridge of your nose, interseeted
by parallel lines running east and west,
with curves arching your eye brows;
and O, how much older you look for it
ScOwling is a habit that steals upon us
unawares. We frown when the light is
too strong and when it is too weak. We
tie our brows into knot when we are
thinking, and knit them even more
tightly when we cannot think. There.
is no denying there are plenty of things
to scowl about The baby in the cradle
frowns when something fails to suit
The little toddler who likes sugar on
his bread and butter tells his trouble in
the same way when you leave it off.
''Cross," /" we say about the children, and
worried to death" about the grown
folks, and as for ourselves, we can't
help it. But we must. Its reflex In
fiuence makes others unhappy; for face
answereth unto face in life as well as in
water. 1t bellies our religion. We
should possess our souls in such peace
that it win reflect itself in placid eoun-
tenances. If your forehead is rigid with
wrinkles before forty, what will it be at
seventy? There is one consoling thought
about these marks of time and trouble
the death angel almost always grasses
them. Even the extremely aged, in
death, often wear smooth aud peaceful
brow, thus leaving our last memories of
them calm and tranquil. But our busi-
ness is with life. Scowling is kind of
silent scolding. 1t shows that our souls
need sweetening. For PHYS sake let US
take sad iron, or glad iron, or smooth
ing tool of some sort and straighten these
creases out Of our faces before they be-
come indelibly engraven upon our vis-
ages.
