TIE MIsTLEf0E BOuGH.-On the 9th and
2Sth instant will be performed at the
Mozart Hall, under the auspices Of some
of the most distinguished ladies in the city,
for the benefit Of that most worthy charity
the Retreat for the Sick, pantomimein five
acts called the "Mistletoe Bough." 1t will
far surpass in magnifcence and scenic effects
anything ever witnessed in this city. The
music will be in charge Of Professor j..
Reinhardt. A country dance and an old
fashioned minuet, arranged aud put upon
the stage by Professor Thomas j. Minor,
will be danced by well-known citizens,
dressed in appropriate costume, and up
wards of sixty children OF various ages,
whose parents have kindly consented that
they may appear, wiltake part in the beau
tiful May-poie scene. The principal parts
of the play will be filled by prominent citi-
Zens ..,
The pantomimei is founded on the familiar
story of the young lady OF noble blood who
on her wedding-night, after the guests had
become tired of the dancing, proposed a
game Of hide-and-seck; she to conceal her
self in some out-of-the-way part OF the
may old castle. Leaving the brilliant
lighted ballroom, away she runs on agile
feet; she flies through labyrlnthine cor
ridors, mounts the winding stairs, and
reaches at last musty and gloomy old gar
Fret. Here she espies massive oaken chest.
What a splendid hiding-place l.. No one
will dream OF looking for her therel She
opens it, gets into into it, pulls down the
LID, which shuts with spring.-and presto
she is hidden most efectuallY for fifty years.
So the old song,1 eutitled the I aMistletee
Bough," says - n: hrs s;i I1h .s,-l'. u =
"Oh, sad was the fate! In sportiYe, jest .. .
She hid from the lord In the old oak chest.
II closed with spring, and her bridal bloom
Lay withering there in living tomb!"
Her husband and the wedding guests
seek for her in vain. They ransack repeat
edly every room, every closet, every nook
in the ancient castle. Of course, it occurs
to no one to burst open the antique oaken
chest, and the fair bride is as completely
lost as if she were at the bottom OF the sea.
The CONSERVATION and despair of the un-
fortunate bridegroom and his friends may
be imagined-not described.
A half century rolls away, when the an
cient castle undergoes repairs, Lord Lowell,
the bridegroom, now an old man OF seventy,
being present. In turning over the dusty
furniture and rubbish in the attic some one
breaks open the old oaken chest,
';And n skeleton form lay Wondering there,
In the bride wreath of the lady fair.'
The drama concludes with the tragic death
of Lord Lowell, who had spent his wretcbed
life in vain attempts to find his bride, whose
terrible fate he learned only when the dread
full chest was opened. s-..
