pany, direct from the Fifth Avenue
Theater, New York, commence a sea.
son Of three performances at Leubrie's
Theater Thursday evening, November
9th, in the original and only London
version Of "0livette," and as origi-
nally produced by this company. The
cast includes Catharine Lewis, John
Howson, Fred Leslie, Minnie Walsh,
F. H. Frear, j. G. Armand, James
Barton, II. A. Grips, and a chorus of
seventy-fve voices. The company is
a strong one. The costumes are said
to be monuments Of stage art.
Leubrie's Theater.
The theater here will be closed this
week, at least nothing is announced
so far. The John Owens company
having other engagements could not
come to us. The Hoey and Hardie
combination closed Saturday night,
having drawn a fine audience at the
matinee, though their weeks business
was meager, The company left for
Nashville last night and open at that
place tonight with "A Child of the
State" to be repeated at the matinee
Wednesday. The programme to-mor
row night is Diplomacy" and Wed
nesday night "a Brothers Life"
Stormy weather here doubtless kept
many from attending the theater
last week, but other causes also had
an unfavorable influence.
Concert Tonight.
At St. Peters Catholic church to-
night a sacred concert is to be given,
the proceeds to be used for the pur-
chase Of new music for the use Of the
choir. The object is a worthy one.
The choir have arranged a charming
musical programme, and the enter
tainment promises to be of the most
agreeable and delightful description
The promise Of fine weather together
with the fact that no other public
amusement is announced will be likely
to contribute toward swelling the
audience to the capacity Of the
church.

How Andersonville Looks.

The Andersonville prison has just
been visited by a correspondent, who
found oaks fifteen feet high growing
on part Of it, while near the south
ern limit was a thrifty cotton field
The caves in which the men burrow-
ed are all gone. On the north hill,
which sent its slope down to the
south, the rains of fifteen years have
carried away their roofs and have
washed the earth away until they
have quilted ravines thirty feet across
at the top, and deep, with crumbling,
precipitous sides. On the south hill,
facing the north; the caves are mark
ed only by the depressions of ground
where the roofs have fallen. The
hollows have not entirely filled, and
probably never will, now that they
are covered with the meager grass
and weeds of Southern Georgia.
The stream is now clear brook
about four feet wide and ten inches
deep, The sides which trodden down
by the feet Of ten thousand of men
daily, were a soggy quagmire are
gaining solidity, though still swampy,
and in some places impossible.

OVER THE RIVER.



Ror none return from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatman cold and
pale
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
And catch the CLEAN Of the snowy sail;
And lol they have passed from our yearn-
ing heart,
Who cross the stream and are gone for
We may not sunder the veil apart,
That hides from our yison the gates Of
day;
We only know that their barques no more
May sail with US Ger life's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere, ! know, on the unseen
shore,
They watch, and beckon, and. wait for me.
And felt and think, when the sunsets
gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound OF the boatman's
oar;
l shall watch for CLEAN Of the Tapping
Ishall hear the boat as It gains the strand;
l shall pass from sight with the boatman
pale,
To the better shore Of the spirit land,
shall know the loved who. have gone be.

EAnd ioyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river-the peaceful river
The angel OF death shall carry me.

"DOn't Gross a Bridge Until You
Come 10 1f.''

There was once a man and woman
who planned to go and spend q day
at friends house, which was some
miles distant from their own. So one
pleasant morning they started out to
make the visit, but they had not
gone far before the woman rendered
a bridge they had to cross which was
very odd and was said not to be safe,
and she Immediately began to worry
about it.
what shall we do about that
bridge?" she said to her husband. II
shall not dare to go over it, and we
can't get across the river in any other
way"
a.oh," said the man, 81 forgot that
bridge! 1t is a bad place; suppose it
should break through, and we should
fall into the water and be drowned?"
"or even," said his wife, Suppose
you should step on rotten plank and
break your leg, what would BECOME
Of me and Of the baby!"
81 don't know" said the man,
"what would become Of any of us, for
| couldn't work, and we should all
starve to DEATH"
So they went on worrying and
worrying, till they got to the bridge;
when, 10 and behold, they saw that
since they had been there last new
bridge had been built, and they
crossed over it in safety, and found
that they might have saved them,
selves all their anxiety. Now that
is just what the proverb means;
never waste your worrying on what
you think may possibly be going 10
happen; don't think. ooh, suppose
it should rain tomorrow so that I
can't go out?" or "What should | do
if should have a headache on the
day of the party?" Half the time
the troubles we look for do not come;
and it is never worth while to waste
the hours in worrying.

A Terrible Story ofthe Sea.

In a lately published book, written
by Rear Admiral Werner, of the Ger
man navy, a strange story is told of
the way in which many years ago,
in 1886, French man.of.war went
down with all hands on board in
West Indian waters. The ship had
been in commission for two years on
the Antilles station, and during the
whole of the time her captain, who
is described as an incarnation of
cruelty, had exercised his ingenuity
in tormenting in every possible way
both the officers and men of his crew.
So well had he succeeded that the
lives of all on board had been render
ed burden to them, while the capt
ain himself was hated with an in.
tensity of which proof was soon to be
given. Orders at length came for, the
ship to return home. Not long after
the anchor had been weighed it be.
came evident that a heavy squall was
coming down on the ship, and the
captain directed the officer of the
watch to shorten sail. The orders
were given but not a man moved.
Again the orders were repeated, this
time by the captain himself; but still
not a man moved. "This is mutiny,"
cried the captain, and then a hund.
red voices answered: ave will not
shorten sail" In vain the terrified
captain appealed to the officers to
support him. They stood silent, and
neither threats nor promises awaited
to make man or officer move, save
only few who we're noted as spies
and favorites of the captain. A few
minutes more and the squall struck
the ship. In a moment the vessel
was thrown upon her beam.ends.
"Cut away the mastsl" shouted the
captain; but still not a man moved
In another minute, however, the rig.
ging was carried away, the masts
went by the board, and, relieved
the ship righted herself. Then the
long suppressed rage Of tho crew
broke forth, and rushing aft, they
seized the captain. a few minutes

Slang Phrases.

Think before you speak, girls! and
do not talk slang. If it be necessary
that any one in Ahe family should do
that, let it be your big BROTHER
though we would advise him not to
adopt "Pigeon English" when there
is a language he can just as well use.
But don't you do it, you can have no
idea how it sounds to ears unusedsto
it, to hear a young lady, when asked
if she will go with you to some place,
answer, mot much," or if requested
to do something she does not wish, to
hear her say, Cant see it." Why,
this sounds intolerable. Not long
ago, a young lady was heard to say,
in speaking of gentleman, that she
intended to ego for him." when some
one asked her assistance at some
work, she answered, "not for Joe"-
Now young ladies Of good education,
fall into this habit, thinking it looks
smarttoanswerb back in slang phrases,
and they slipfrom their tongues with
such, saucy pertness, that it is not
lady-like, or becoming. II bet," or
"you bet" is we'll enough among men,
trading horses, or land; but it is
shocking when a young man is hold
ing the hand of his lady.love to hear
these words fall from her lips. 1t
seems at once TO bring her down from
that purity upon which he had placed
her, to his own coarse level. Slang
does not save time in the use of good
Language. No, is short and much
more decided, that mot much" and
| know, or am sure, is quite as easy
said, as "I'll bet" Boys, be careful
where you spit out your "Pigeon
English" girls can think as well as
you can. A student who had not
been long out Of college, was beard
to say, (when young lady told him
she had written a composition
"that's bully" She did not know
whether he meant to compliment
her, or not; if be did, that was GER
tainly very rough way of answer.
ing her, and to a strangers ears, it
would create the opinion, that he had
never been inside Of a school house,
much less college, or had never
studied any thing but "Uncle Josh's
Trunk of Fun" Now to hear PEG.
pie use those slang phrases, that
never had any training, would be
pardonable, but to hear person who
has been taught the right use of Ian
guage, use slang, and we might say,
worse than slang, for swearing is al
most objectionable, especially when
the girls fall into this habit; this is
bad enough, and unbecoming enough,
for the boys to do. There is much
more to be said about slang, but one
thing more, and we will stop, lest
some one should take me by the ears.
Slang is rot used by true lady, and
all who would be loved, honored and
esteemed, never permit slang
phrase, much less an oath to fall
from your lips, ELEvE.

Fifty Years Ago, and Now.

Fifty years ago, children obeyed
their parents; now, parents obey their
children. Fifty years ago, children
and young people generally had re-
spect for age; now, with all their adj
vantages of education, they are dis.
respectful to age, and often rude and
ill-behaved in church. Fifty years
ago, parents felt it to be their duty
to bring up their children in the nur.
ture and admonition of the Lord;
now, if they can dress them fine, in
dulge all their whims and get them
into fashionable life, it is their high
est ambition, and little care is be-
slowed on the preparation Of the soul
for that eternity 10 which we are all
fastening. Fifty years ago, people
could liaten with patience to a ser.
mon an hour and half or two hours
long; now, if minister breaches an
hour, church members become impa-
tient, and make unbecoming re-
marks about the minister that are
calculated to destroy the good effect
that might have been made on the
minds of some persons.
Fifty years ago, Christians could
sing with melody in their hearts a
hymn of ten or twelve verses,-and
not think it too much praise for their
God; now they praise him by proxy,
in singing two or three stanzas.-
Christians could sing of that "foun.
tain filled with blood drawn from I'm
manuel's veins" and rejoice in that
fountains being sufficient to cleanse
from all sin; now, all that is thought
10 be old fashioned and improper
Fifty years ago, there was a kind re.
gard existing among the members Of
the church, that made them feel like
they were all children Of their heav-
emily Father; now, all that is entirely
out of place, far each thinks himself
better than his brother.
We hope that another fifty years
will be far better, commencing by
the first of the year of our Lord 1881,
and the the time may soon come
when Christians can dwell together
in unity.
