Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Gravity is twin brother to stupidity.
Calumny is only the noise of madmen.
The value of a thought cannot be
told.
Joys are our wings, sorrows are our
spurs.
If you would be good, first believe
that you are bad.
In the meanest hut is q romance, if
you know the hearts there.
Sin is not in the appetites, but in the
absence of controlling will.
The cruelty of the etfeminate is more
dreadful than that of the hardy.
Genius unexerted is no more genius
than btlshel of acorns is q forest of
oaks.
If some men died., and others did not,
death would, indeed, be mortifying
evil.
How difficult it is to save the bark of
reputation from the rocks of ignor-
ance.
One may live as conqueror, king,
Or magistrate; but he must die as a
man.
Her voice was ever soft, gentle and
low-an excellent thing in woman.
The highest problem of any art is to
cause by appearance the illusion of a
higher reality.
The superiority of some men is mere
ly local. They are great because their
associates are little.
We do not Judge men bywhat they are
in themselves, but by what they are rela-
lively to lbs.
Joy descends gently upon us like the
evening dew, and does not patter down
like a hail-storm.
How much easier it is TO be generous
than just. Men are sometimes bountiful
who are not honest.
Wants awaken intellect. To crafty
them disciplines intellect. The keener
the want, the lustier the growth.
Be not offended at a jest. If one throw
never so much salt at thee, thou wilt re-
ceive no harm unless thou art raw.
In the sallies of badinage a polite fool
shines; but in gravity he is as awkward
as an elephant diSporting.
Every one turns his dreams into reali-
ties as far as he can; man is cold as ice
to the truth, hot as fire to talsehood.
He whose emotion on the view of an
excellent production is to undervalue it,
will never have one of his own to show.
/ hold it cowardice to rest mistrustfrl
where noble heart hath pawned an open
hand in sign of love.
Had L succeeded well, [ had been
reckoned among the wise; our minds are
so disposed to judge from the event.
Life is rather a state of embryo, a
preparation for life. A man is not COM
pletely born till he has passed through
death.
There is pleasure in contemplating
good; there is greater pleasure in re-
ceiving good; but the greatest pleasure
OF all is in doing good, which compre
hends the rest.

WOULDN'T MARRY DEMooRAT.-A
colored man testified before the Ala
bama investigation committee that in
Chambers county the colored men formed
a society to prevent women from marry
ing Democrats and to advise the separa-
ton of husband and wife where the hus-
band was a Democrat and to exclude
Democratic negroes from all society; a
similar organization existed in Lee
county; the members of that society had
n pledge that woman would leave her
husband il he was a Democrat, or a
young woman would not marry man if
he was Democrat.

A MARROW EsoAPE.-A boy in a SOM
nambulistic state walked off railroad
car on the st. Paul road, going at the
rate of twenty miles an hour. The
train stopped and ran back to him, when
he stated that he knew nothing of his
fall, but awoke, nearly frozen, lying on
his side on ice and snow. He arose and
wandered from the track, but afterward
followed it back to the station.

1t is now generally admitted by honest
physicians, that when once the consumption lis
fairly fastened upon the lungs no human
power can save tie patient from death. They
also say that about fifty per cent. of those who

new Wilcox & Gibbs automatic tension ma

the inventor, has at last produced machine
which does all kinds of work in the best man
ner and yet has practically no tension. All
that is required in arranging this machine for
any kind of work, after selecting thread, is to
follow a table stamped upon the cloth plate for

THE MUsEUM.-The "Colleen Bawn," as
brought out at the Museum last evening, must
be added to the successes achieved at that place
of amusement this season. The play was pre-
scented in manner which would do credit to
any theatre. The scenery, especially the lake
scene, and the cave where Ely is thrown over
board from the boat, was in Mr.. Richar
best manner, and was very handsome and eff
fectiye. The mechanical effects by Mr. Page
were excellently managed.
So far as The acting was concerned the pl ay
was certainly never SO we'll given in this city
The Gamma Chute" "Colleen Ruah,' Of Miss
Waldron, was charming conception. The inn
pulsive, witty, warm hearted Irish girl, with
her quick temper and high sense of honor, was
effectively portrayed. AS it was thu first APP
pearance here of Miss Waldron in role of this
character considerable curiosity was felt in re-
gard to her Interpretation. 1t was eminently
satisfactory, and gave evidence that she will
be as much favorite Jim lighter parts as in
pathetic renditions The "Colleen Bawn' Of
Miss Ulmer was tenderly and artistically done.
In both its serious and its pathetic phases, it re-
ceived understanding and finished treatment.
aAhoiu SofC, 90 was w W SAPeOe0us o
strong and picturesque rendition of DANNY
Manu. Mr.. Bascomb's "Hardress Cregan"
was marred by staginess and affectation. but
in the closing scene was striking and effective.
The "Myles-Na-Coppaleen of Mr.. Cur
tbs was natural and entertaining and
the humorous points were made the most of.
Mr.. Norris gave really fine Interpretation of
'KyrIe DAY." He was easy, graceful, and
finished, and in the dialogue with "Anna
Chute" entered into his part with spirit and
understanding. Mrs Preston's impersonation
of "Mrs. Cregan," though ia the main well
done, was open to the charge of strasiness
Miss Drnkwater was an excellent "Shelah."
As "Father Tom" Mr.. Switzerland was thor
oughly satisfactory. and the Georgian" of Mr..
Adams was easy and amusing
The music, both vocal and instrumental, was
very fine. Mr.. Arnold's song was delight to
listen to,and Mr. .Curtsldid finely in his first Sc.
lection, and in the old nursery ballad of'Bryan
OHM" The duet between Mr.. and Mrs.
Arnold was also fine, and the song by the COM
pany was very pleasing. The orchestral selec
tons were admirably done, and called forth
the repeated applause of the audience.
The play will be given only on this and to.
morrow evenings, and at the Wednesday matt
zee. 1t will be succeeded by "Tbe Hidden

was celebrated yesterday at the Ep iscopal and

The music, the programme of which we pub

order and was finely rendered. After mass
followed the elevation of the Host, which was
a most impressive service. The Cathedral was
crowded at this as well as the earlier service
In the evening there was vesoer service at half
past seven o'clock, at the close OF which Bish-
op Healey delivered short exhortation upon
the observance of All Saints Day The Cathe-
dral was crowded, and the almost countless
number of gas lights made the scene very pleas
ing as we'll as solemn. The fine music was
spoken of by many who attended.
The festival was observed at st. Luke's Ca
thedral in very appropriate manner, in the
morning, by the celebration of the Holy Eu-
charist The Cathedral was decorated with
flowers, and the altar cloths were yellow and
gold, the usual order for All Saints Day.
