THE MURPHY WITH
oUT DoUBr TUE RAREsr ESJoYuExr FOR
YEARs.-The music and dramatic loving
portion OF our community, without exag
geration, have the rarest opportunity for
enjoyment on the night Of Thursday the
25d Instant, offered them tlat they have
had for many years. Our very best local
talent is engaged, and the ladies have
been very happy in the arrangement Of
their programme, it being an entire
change from anything heretofore present
ed by our home amateurs. The principal
feature of the evening will be the pre-
sentaiion Of the new and beautiful ope-
reita, 1.-The Lost Heiress or the Gipsey
Girls Love- This piece abounds in beau-
tiful scenery, gay costumes, and the very
prettiest songs and dances We think it
requires about 80 young ladies', dressed
in Gipsey costume, to make the proper
presentation. The piece is divided into
scenes to illustrate the plot and its exc
cution. The first represents a Gipsey
camp at night, and the moonlight merry
making, Characteristic Of those strange
people; and the Love at first Sight,
which POUNDS the romance throughout all
the scenes. The ii is a courtly seeue of
courtly ladies' and gentleman, wherein
ihe startling announcement, as il <rue
that my friend Lord Gerald, has falien in
love with Gypsy - is discovered to be a
fact. The 3rd scene brings the infatua-
ted Lord Gerald to tie wood near the
Gypsy camp, where his wooing is made
known and rebuded No, no, my Lord, it
can not be. In this scene the old but
beautiful song, the Gipsey Countess is
rendered. By Zillah aud the Gypsy Queer

A Story With q Moral.

Dean Stanley never loses chance to
make a point on an anniversary. On the
last Saturday of the year he appeared at
an industrial exhibition in London. and
at once reminded the classes that that day
was the anniversary Of an event which
happened 700 years ago, and which caused
a great disturbance to the country. 1t
was the anniversary of the murder of
Thomas 4. Beckett, in connection with
whose life there was circumstance which
we'll illustrated the principal on which
he was about to enlarge. People somc-
times imagine that the small things which
they saw before them was not worthy of
pursuit; whereas, in reality small things
often deserved consideration. A story
was told which referred to the father and
mother OF Thomas A. Beckett.
His father, who was Londoner, went
to the crusadcs, and having been taken
prisoner, married an eastern lady. He
was afterwarj ransomed and returned to
England, but he was unable to carry away
his wife with him, and she remained in
Syria. She, however, determined to travel
to England--a difficult task, as she knew
only two words Of English, ''Gilbcrt' (thc
name of her husbanD, and London" )"
She got through Europe by mentioning
at every town she came to the word
London" at which place she eventually
arrived. When there she made use of her
other word, "Gilbert,' and, having found
her way from street to stree, she at last
discovered the house of her husband nea,
London bridge. This was an example OF
the effect that could he produced by max
ing the very greatest use of whatever lit
tie knowledge one possessed.

He was an old man and bore the scars
inflicted by the sings and arrows of out
ragOus fortune. He wore the traditional
high boots of the early oil man. He was

One of his hearers put handkerchief to
his nose and remarked that if dollars were

The old teamster said he didn't under

"What's that? Why didn't I have

a moment and wiped his nose against the

and replied:

MiraculOas Cure.
Father Heinen. a Catholic priest at
East Mauch Chunk, has published card con.
corning the wonderful recovery Of Miss Greth,
at that place. He says Miss Grcth was called
out of ecstasies by miraculous means. She
was deathly sick and restored completely. She
is now in perfect health Miss. Greth's ecstasy
means the soul departed from the body. Faith.
er Brennan, of Philadelphia, secretary to Arch
bishop Wood, informed a reporter that the
Archbishop did not intend taking action un-
less the excitement over the miracle was
pledged, in which case it is possible an explain
alton may be demanded of Father heinen of
his activity i'll the matter. According to Faith.
Brennan the case Of Miss Grcth is very far
from being miracle, and the priests conduct
is not considered as rejecting credit on him.

The Gala Lilly.

The calla lilly, when properly treated
is beautiful plant for the house growing.
The Scientific Farmers gives the follow
ing directions for growing the roots: The
best method we have tried is to procure an
earthen jar suitabyl decorated on the
outside, IT desired, by painting or basting
on of frieze or flower pictures, or by
paper open-work covering. In the place
rich mould, some five Of six inches deep,
and in this set,x the Gala plant. Now
put on the top Of this mould layer Of
clean coarse sand, about two inches
deep, and on top Of this some small peb
bles.
Then fill the jar with water, and re-
place as evaporated, so as to always have
the water several inches deep above
the pebbles. Place in a warm and sun
ny window, and the plant will throw up
large, luxuriant leaves, to be followed by
the magnificent bloom. What is still
better, the flower stalks will be sent up
in succession, so to afford nearly
continuous series Of flowers. A few
minnows introduced into the water will
usually thrive without further care, and
afford q pleasing study.
