ENTERTAINMENTS On Tomorrow even.
ing occurs the last in tie series of enter
,ainments to he given this season, and as
fitting finale to the eminenily successful
series, our amatuer dramatists have pre-
pared IL programme which will out-strip
any of their previous efforts in this line.
The plays have been carefully prepared
under competent instruction and we think
we can confidently promise an evenings en-.
tertainment such as will be both satisfac
tory and creditable, and one which will he
worthy Of liberal patronage. The plays
arc both farces. consequently there will be
any amount of fun and sport for tho audi
ence. and it is not saying any too much to
assert that in the cast of both plays, the
prominent characters especially, are in the
hands of players fully competent to sue.
cessfully carry out their difficult roles.
The first piece, The Boston Dip" will be
both attractive and pleasing the ladies cos.
tunes will he of tho SWEETEST order. cclips.
ing, in point of elegance. anything ever
seen on the Morris stage. The play gives
small glimpse Of swell society and its
slall"wness, and is brim full of droll ab.
surdities and ludicrous situations "That
Rascal Pat is simply immense; ia witty
and laughable in the extreme, in fact indie.
scribahle. and must be seen to be appre.
ciatcd.
Owing to the fact that there has been
considerable expense attending the pro.
duction OF these plays, the management
have decided to advance the price of gen.
eral admission from ten to twenty-five
cents. Season ticket holders, will, Of
course, be admitted without extra charge.

Friendships.

Sad mortals that we are, the squeaks of our
yiolins far exceed the harmonies that come from
ne. We are forever tuning, and forever finding
ourselves out of tune Unskilled fingers draw
their bow across us, and the discord that fol-
lows is an index of our pain. Friendship, after
all, is not the simple thing that our forefathers
considered it. 1t is fine AIT, differing, I'M
fortunately, from other arts in the fact that it
is one on which all must more or ess try their
hand and one where both artist and material
are alive and capable of exquisite pain, as well
as exquisite pleasure, and in which the mis-
takes we make tell most fatally. 1t is as If the
canvas painted upon by an artist experienced
keen sense of dismay when some special color
is laid upon il where some other color shouiu
have been. And yet. who Will ADMIT they are
not masters of the art? Who are content 10
reckon themselves but amateurs IN an art whlcn
is as subtle and as perishable as the colors OF
the rainbow. Sunlight mingled with RAIN
drons produce the oolors in which nature paints
her arcn Of peace, and pain mingled with
pleasure before we eau place our token be-
tween our friend and rself. If the proper
tions are not delicately distributed, we shall
see no rainbow in the sky and no reflected light
In the face of our friend. And yet we all
think we possess the secrets of the gods, and
hold the Key of our friends heart. Fools that
we are. by our clumSlneSs we close more locks
than all our lie has time TO open. We snatch
and struggle, and our eagerness acts like the
meeting OF air and water; no drop can we draw
TO auench our thirst. Like cats we follow the
windings of our friends moods, and ten to one
our spring is false, either in word or time.
Nothing is more sad TO watch than the lame
efforts of two would-be- friends, neither of whom
can feel the other. IL is like bad acting, where
a wrong tone or expression mars and spoll6 the
otherwise perfect words. Like animals caught
in a net. the efforts to get right only plunge us
into more hopeless difficulty. Silence is our
only refuge; happy those who can make it
speaking.
