As SHOWING the public interest that is
felt In the entertainments now in progress
at the Opera House for the benefit oil the
Children,s Home, We may mention the
fact that up to this time the receipts ex.
coed fifteen hundred dollars. This hand.
some sum, crGditable Us It Is to the gener-
osity Of our people, will be still further
increased during the progress Of the re-
manning entertainments. And speaking
Of these entertainments, We may refer
again to their popularity, The public
really seem to be delighted at the Oppor'
tunity afforded them OF spending their
money in such an enjoyable manner lor
the benefit Of the Chldron's Home They
are not only conscious OF doing good but
Of receiving at the same time a most
agreeable compensation for their outlays.
Their charity is Of the kind that Shakes.
pcnrO speaks OF when he says that "it is
twice blessed: it blesseth him that gives
and him that takes"
The programme for tho balance OF the
week cannot fail to interest the public
quite as much N5 the entertainments OF
Monday afternoon and night. For in
stance, this evening We have the Knights
Templar Drill and grand promenade
concert. Tomorrow night comes the
Martha Washington Tea party aud Re.
publican Court Ievce, Friday night wO

pear in the style Of costume wornby our
ancestors a hundred years ago, Some OF

and keepsakes that have come down from

teen States will be represented by ladies in

tend booths named after these States,
whereat will be sold such luxuriea and del
icacies OF the seasOnas will be most apprO-

TIE verses Of "John Anderson, my 10
John" as so admirably sung and person
ated by Mrs. Armstrong at the Opera
House on Monday night, are among the
most attractive lines ever pcnnrd by the
poet Burns, and this is saying good
deal. But fine US they are, their ending
has always seemed incomplete. We re.
member some years ago that newspaper
poet added verse to the two composed
by Burns, which went the rounds Of the
press at the time and received the warm
commentator Of the critics ns being in all
respects equal to the original lines with
which they were coupled Taking up the
thread where Burns left Off when he
said
NOV we maun t0ttCr down, John,
But hand In hand well 90,
ndsleep tho gither NJ the foot,
John Anderson, my 10.
The newspaper writer referred to added
the following lines;
"John Anderson, my 10, John,
When wo have slept thegithGr,
The sleep that mlun sleep, JOhn,
We'll wake vi anJ anither;
And In that better watlh, John,
Nae sorrow shall We know;
Nor fear we cor shall part again,
John Anderson, my jo."
