LITTLE THINGS.
BY KATE CLYDE.

BY KATE CLYDE.
Ono small store upon the other,
And the highest wall is laid;
one wee stitch, and then another,
And the largest garments rado.
Many tiny drops of water
Make the mighty rivers flow;
One short second. then another,
Aud the ages come and go.
Place one bit of useful knowledge
On another tiny mite.
Keep on adding. time will make them
Shine with wisdem's burning light.
Each small act of perseverance
Nerves You te some greater deed:
From one little grain of forethouEht
Often grand results proceed.
Ifiyen want 80 be hero
On the battlefield of life,
Do not scorn tire hlta7biest vict'ry.
Fur twill aid You In tho strife.
Little acts of care aud patience
Grow to giants III the fight;
They viii nerve your sonl to conquer,
and VIII win yen laurels bright.

"oNLY A FAtMER's DAUGHTER. ,,

"Only Farmers Daughter was pre-
sented to an avefage sized audience at the
opera house lasteveping, and while most
of the parts wer well portrayed, yet one
thing was evident, the play was either a
very weak onei or else it was horribly cut
in its rendition and was presented in a
rather disconnected way. Helen Blythe,
as Lizzie Stalk and Nine. Laurent, the
adventures were well presented, and
showed the star" to be a very clever
actress. Louise Demmon took the part of
Justine, The Farmers Daughter" very
acceptablyl and Harold Lennox, the
wealthy author, was in ]. T. Brien por-
trayed to perfection. Jas. F. Neil, as
Jack Harley, the convict, was vsry poor
~ represented and showed that Mr. Neill
was not adapted to that part, as in Philip
Bartram he did considerably better. The
of the characters were accepta-
bly, worked up. Generally speaking, howev-
er, the play was not up to expectations

THEIAsT REPRESENTATION

Owing to the fact of slender attendance
at last evenings performance of the beauti-
full allegory, ''the Naiad Queen" which
was as unexpected as it was disheartening,
Manager Clark felt constrained to appear
before the curtain and make the announce

this aevening was abandoned. All in all
it was the best entertainment of the kind
ever put upon the boards of Harper's the
atre, and it is hoped that our friends in
Moline will crowd the opera house every
night it is performed there.
