ROW IN A LYcEUA.
The Funny Experience Of Billy Florence, as
Related By Himself.

Billy Florence, the comedian, has been
telling Herald reporter some of his ex-
periences upon the stage. A reminis-
cence Of Brougham's Lyceum, in New
York, an almost forgotten playhouse, is
laughable Florence tells it as follows:
Did you ever hear of the row at the
Lyceum2 It was one of the funniest
things. The curtain rose to a crowded
house on scene at rehearsal, The act
ors and actresses were in their street
dresses, apparently gathered in the green
room, preparatory to their labors. Mrs.
Dunn appeared as Mrs. Dunn, Miss En-
ma Taylor as Miss Emma Taylor, and
Mrs. Vernon as Mrs. Vernon. Tom, the
call boy, was there as Tom. The whole
performance was realistic, and the audi
ence deeply interested. Suddenly dur
ing one of the scenes, while Mrs. B.
MRS. Brougham) was on the stage look
ing after her part, and making claim to
something more in her line," Quaker
ish dressed gentleman arose in the mid
die of the parquette or "pit" as it was
then called, and, holding up cotton UNI
brella, addressed the stage and the house
somewhat as follows: "The woman
looks, for all the world, like Clementinal
Her voice is very like-her form the
same" And then with emphasis, 1T is
my wife" he made lis way toward the
footlights crying loudly, "Come off that
stage; thou miserable womanp OF
course uproar ensued. l was in the gal
lery, the personifCation of the "Mose"
of the day, red-shirted, soap-locked and
noisy. 1t was my part to give the old
gentleman to understand that If he i'm
terfered with the "young 'oman on the
stage, I'd lam his bald head into jelly"
and proceeded to go down and do it..
All sorts of encouraging and disCourag-
ing cries were head. "Go it, broadrim!"
"Sit downw "PoliCep "Shame" "Put him
outl" and 80 on. The actors on the stage
were of course unable to proceed, while
Mrs. B. was apparently in state of af-
fright. The supposed irate husband and
red-shirted defender reached the foot
lights about the same time, where sup
posable policemen Collared and dragged
them on the stage. Then the usual semi
circle was formed and the epilogue spo-
ken. 1t was only at this junCtuIe that
the audience recognized Mr.. Brougham
as the indignant quaker, Mrs. B. as his
wife, the police as members of the COM
pany, the accessories in the pit as 'supes'
and Nose as me, Billy. The piece had a
splendid run for those days, because any
one who had been sold" brought some-
body else to be sold" again.

LADIES READ!

Instead of suffering yourselves to be swindled
out of that faithful old sewing machine that has
served you perhaps these many years, take 1t to
Berry BOstwick and have 1t made as good as
new. They can make any machine, no matter
how old, or what kind, or how badly broken just
as good and just as nice as new. They can make
all heavy running machines run lightly. They
can make machines that never did work well
work perfectly. Improvements put on all ma-
chimes when ordered,
Most sewing machine companies rebuild and
resell the old machines they trade for. If 1t pays
them much more will 1t pay you.
Berry & Bostwick have twelve years actual ex.
perience in Rebuilding and Repairing all kinds
of sewing machines and have worked In the
leading factories. They guarantee satisfaction
and warrant all their work.
Give them call.

SWEET LOVE AND l.

Sweet Love and have strangers been
These many years,
So many years.
He came to me when Life was green
And free from fears,
These present fears,
He came and for little space
My life was gladdened by his grace
But soon he fed, and joy gave place
To grief and tears.
"Oh, Love, come to me once again "
My lone heart sighs,
So sadly sighs.
"Recall thy fearless nature, them"
Sweet love replies,
Softly replies.
"Thou canst not? Then cannot be
The same that once was to thee.
There's no room in the heart for me,
When fears arise"

If you pass for more than your value,
say little. 1t is much easier to look wise
than to talk wise.
One solitary philosopher may be great,
virtuous, and happy in the mist Of pow

An experienced boy says he regards
hunger and the schoolmaster' rattan as
about the same thing, as they both make
him holler.
Flour" says a Chicago exchange,
"has declined one dollar" 1t requires
good deal of moral courage to decline
a dollar in these times.
A farming exchange informs us, "How
to tell bad eggs. When an egg is bad
a man doesn't want to tell it anything
he wants to get right away from it."
A book agent, the other day, talked
half an hour to induce lady to buy
book. She handed him slip of paper
on which was written: lime deaf and
dum."

Old farmer Biggs most sadly said,
As exc he scratched his snow white head,
'My craps is mighty slim this year
I'll starve to death fore spring, fear.
Why wheat is worth Its weight in gold,
And corn amt to be bought, I'm told.
It's Just my luck when grain is high,
To harvest craps in thin supply"
1877. ..
"How's craps? why, blast the cussed luck
reckon as it's nip and tuck
As how gets 'em in at all
The harvest is so big this fall
More wheat more corn, more oats, more rice
Nor we can sell at any price.

I'll starve because cannot sell"

THE LITE FOLKS.

The Good OF the Boy.
Oh what is the good Of the wide-awake boy.
Whoops and halloes
As he ties on his shoes,
And who dances a jig
While he is comblng his wig
And washing his face with very poor grace
Who whips on his jacket
And makes all the racket
He possibly cam
Now tell me, pray what's the good Of this boy2
"Wen,a wideawake boy makes wldeaWake
man"
oh, what Is the good Of hungry boy,
Who clamors for food
AS no juvenile should,
... And, as sure as live,
Eats all that you give;
Be 1t fowl flesh or fish, he emptles the dish,
While, for soft gingerbread, he
Oh, always is ready;
Pray, what will he make2
What sort of a man will grow out Of this boy2
"Why, a very safe man, dear, toput down brake"
Oh, what is the good of rolicking boy,
Who gets into snaps"
And all sorts Of haps;
Who nothing so loathes
As new suit of clothes
Because the first day they so hinder his play;
For the second-no matter,
He'll have them a.tatter
Before set Of sun;
Have you something for the good Of thisboy2
Eyes, for enterprise bold he will surely count
one"
Oh, what Is the good of careless boy,
Who won't wipe his feet
And can't learn to be neat,
Who treads on the cat,
And sits down on his hat;
Yet he's spunky and plucky, this happy-go lucky,
And cares not rattle,
But sides in each battle
With him that is down?
| Now what Is the good Of this bold, reckless boy?
I'm popular vote he'll carry the town."
Oh what is the good of horrid boy,
Who won't say his prayers,
And mocks all yoHr cares
Who hears all the news,
Your advice does refuse
And he jeers and he leases and does as he pleases
wonder If aught he
Performs is not naughty?
One thing-he won't lie.
Now what is the good of this terrible boy?
"Why, to speak the truth, dear, great virtue
say l."
So then, there's some good in all sorts Of a boy,
The JOY and sad,
The sorry and bad,
The best and the worst,
The last and the first,
You'll have somewhat to say in his favor Away
"Why, yes, since you leave It,
surely believe 1t
Is best to Judge so,
For though you may question the good Of boy
How would folks fare without him I'd just like II
knowp
