need of praise. The "Song of the
Shepherdess,' with the introduction
of the echo, was a sweet little gem.
Miss G. G. Rounds gave us poetical
account of "The Maids of Attilash" in
a forcible manner, giving evidence of
study and good memory. The NOR
al was good and should be we'll heed
ed. A tableaux, called the ssArtist's
Studio" was well carried out, espe-
cially the portraits in the background,
which were extremely life-like. We
heard whisperings of large sums of
money offered for the sole proprietor
ship of the central portrait. We
would family and humbly express our
opinion that coin is not the medium
through which possession of that lit
tie piece of property can be gained.
Miss Dimick narrated in verse the
unhappy history of "The Proud Miss
Mcbride" This lady's delivery is
pleasant, and we do not doubt she re-
cited this poem in her accustomed
manner, but we can't say. Probably
most of the audience are in the same
state Of miserable uncertainty as our
selves. We were deprived OF the
pleasure of hearing this recitation,
partly by the insane wanderings of a
plaguey boy with water-bucket,
which made a racket seven times
louder than is won't to be made. It's
very strange, Sir, that boy who has
arrived at the maturity and attendant
discretion of 10 years should possess
no more sense than to so openly and
unnecessarily disturb public assem-
blage. But stranger still, that it
should not occur to some person of
ripper years to check such "youth to
fortune and to fame unknown" in his
mad career. We were further pre-
vented from hearing the recital of the
aforesaid voracious and startling his
tory of Miss McB. by the opportune
entrance, at convenient intervals, of
some well developed specimens of
the genus homo; who, on account of
the mud, had covered the lower ends
of their bodies with unusually heavy
cow-hide boots. These, as they
trapsed the bare floor, were brought
down with sufficient emphasis and
becoming yigor to portend the digity
of the man who was riding therein.
Can the average moss-back not learn
to enter public gathering quietly.
and more quietly proceed to seal
and take it quietly? If we can learn
this we can find many in towns who
will need instruction. Or is it a ne
cessity for Granger to pound the
floor with such power that ''depart-
ing he leaves behind him footprints"
in the floor? We think if they
would practice little, they would
readily acquire the mack of walking
as stealthily as many of their COM
peers do. For there are many who can
walk quietly OH bare floor, whether
you have ewes met them or not.
Near the close, Miss c. G.. Rounds
sang in an excellent manner, comic
piece-'Loving Husband" Her act
ing was superb. The fact is, if we
had laughed much more, we would
have feared the consequences. How
a chap could sit there as shy as did
the supposed husband, when such me-
lifluous words were issuing from such
a course, passes our ken.
Well, Sir, we enjoyed ourselves q
sright smart chance" notwithstand-
ing few pullbacks, or rather, draw
backs. NED l.. GILsEy.

ton Of the blue ray. You observe that
she has healthy color enough now. En-
'treIy the result of blue glass; sir. She was
pallid to remarkable degree when she
began"
There was certainly no lack of color to
complain of in the flushed dimpling cheeks
which were trying so hard to restrain a
smile. Fortunately Mr.. Lang was too
much occupied to observe this unseemly
levity. He busted himself with the blue
pane. Gordon preserved an air of profound
scientific interest. Presently he took his
leave, with permission to return for further
light on the theory.
In this h-giving, ill-yelding world,
the first step is truly the one which wins.
1t proved so in this case. Gordon Gray
was not forced to take his bride through
the window. She came to him through the
door, some months later, in broad daylight,
with her uncle's consent, given with GER
tain inadvertence as from mind occupied
with higher themes, but still CONSENT
Whether it would have been so easily &C
corded had not the opportune and engross
ing discovery of the telephone occurred
just then, we need not inquire. Bertha
has blossomed like rose in the full radi-
ance of married happiness She needs no
blue glass now; but for old times sake,
Gordon has had one little pane inserted in
that window of her boudoir where she is
wont to sit and watch for his home coming
at sunset. Bertha proposed instead an en-
blematical design, with the legend, Glove
laughs at medicine" but Gordon was firm,
and there to this day shines the plain blue
pane 20 witness to the truth of this story.

TACT.-Love swings on little hinges 1t
keeps an active little servant to do good
deal of its fine work. The name of the
little servant is tact. Tact is nimbe- footed
and quick fingered; tact sees without
looking; tact has always good deal of
small change on hand; tact carries no
heavy weapons, but can do wonders with a
sling and stone; tact never runs its head
against a stone wall; tact always spies a
sycamore tree up which to cline when
things are becoming crowded and unman-
ageable on the level ground; tact has a
cunning way of availing itself of word,
or smile, or gracious wave of the hand:
tact carries bunch of curious fashioned
keys which can turn all sorts of locks; tact
plants its monosyllsbles wisely, for being
monoyllable itself, it arranges its own
order with all familiarity of friendship;
tact-sly, versatile, diving, running, flying
tact-governs the great world, yet touches
the big baby under the impression that it
has not been touched at all.

There is lovclight in your eye.
Tho the roses fade from your check, my

But it's oh, for the long and lasting sleep
Where the wildwood honcysucklcs creep
Under the violcts to lie,
And let the weary world 90 hy.
