The Roots Of The Roses.

The leaves are fading and falling
The winds are rough and wild
The birds that have ceased their calling
Bnt let me tell you, my child,
Though day by day, as it closes
Doth darker and colder grow
The roots of the bright red roses
viii keep alive i'll the snow
And when the winter is over
The boughs will get new leaves.
The quail comes back to the clover
The swallow back to the caves
The robin will wear on his bosom
The vest that is bright and new,
And the liveliest wayside blossom
VIII shine with sun and dew
So when some dear iov loses
Its beauteous summer glow
Think how the roots Of the roses
Are kept alive in the snow

Booths first acting, according to a
schoolmate, was done In Baltimore.
Our average ages were about twelve
or thirteen, though Booth must have
been fourteen or fifteen. Our little
theatre soon became favorite place
of resort for the young people OF the
vicinity. The price Of admission was
two cents, and we generally had:good
houses. After the audience had dis.
persed we generally took what was
left after paying our trifiing expenses
and invested il in oysters. Our audi
ences were generally very critical, but
there were two pieces which used to
arouse their enthusiasm to the highest
pitch. One was The Guerilla Chief,
and the other was one of the acts of
Richard Ill., by Booth. Booth and
the Guerilla Chief we're the two great
attractions of the theatre, and Booth
even then gave evidence of genius"

THE LATEST NEWS FROM STANLEY.

THE --LATEST NEWS FROM STANLEY
The New York Herald publishes Lon
don dispatch, dated March IL, announc-
ing the reception of three letters from H.
NJ. Stanley, the joint commissioner ofthe
Herald and London Daily Telegraph now
exploring the equatorial regions. of Central
Africa, and determining the location and
character of the several sources of the
Nile. The letters are dated from Ujiji,on
the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika.
and on the 7th, 10th and 18th Of August,
1876, respectively. After minute ex-
animation of the Victoria N'Yanza,
Stanley made his way with some difficulty
to Ujiji, where he fitted up his exploring
boat and launchedit on Lake Tanganyika
of which he made complete survey.veri-
flying many previous observations. At the
northern end of the lake he found a spa
cious gulf, which will henceforward be
known to geographers as "Burton Gulf, !"
after the celebrated African explorer of
that name. In the second letter Stanley
describes some discoveries respecting the
Kageera river, which emptied into Lake
Victoria N'Yanza on its western side.
The purity and color of the water Of the
Kaheera, he declares, indicate that it rises
either far to the westward Of Lake Tan
ganyika or that its course is interrupted
by lake, where the waters are purified
as in great settling basin, and to this
river or lake he has given the name of
Alexandra, in honor of the Princess of
Wales. Stanley's latest letter, dated
Ujiji, August Is reports an outbreak Of
smallpox and fever in the district. This
visitation obliges him to prepare for an
early departure from the place. He pro-
poses to cross the country to N'Yangwe,
westward of the northren end of Lake
and on the Lualaba or
Webb's river. He will there determine
on his final course.
