 GEORGE ". CABLE.

 HEARTS OF OAK.
 An audience numbering nearly 1,0OO at tended 'Hearts of Oak at Peck's Grand Opera House last evening. The drama, which IS pretty and romantic and involves sweet story of love and devotion, is set with vivid and realistic scenery and was we'll rendered by Jas. A. Herne, F. Chippendale, Charles H. Clarke, Harry Maintall, Katharine Corcoran and little Maud Thompson and fair support The first scene is the coast of Marblehead, which is shown at sunset a storm gathers :; a weird picture of the wreck and rescue is presented, and the curtain comes down upon 8 rainburst of real water. Such representa- ton of a storm on the coast Is seldom seen on the stage. The mill scene, with the ma chinery in full action, the charming domestic picture, the illuminated scene near Whales Wharf, and the other tableaux and mar vels, all form an element exceedingly at tractive. The drama is somewhat sombre in tone, but it Is good one, and has some touching points of a sympathetic nature.

The Carriage Manufacturing Interest
 Business at the carriage manufactories is not very brisk. There has been no boom in the business for several months past. The dullness of the business is attributed to over production. The dealers are anticipating decided improvement before long in work for the spring trade.

Peter COoper's Sympathy.

Mrs. Susan N. Garter, the head of the Woman's Art School of the Cooper h. stitute, contributes an anecdotal paper to the December Century, in which. she says of Mir. Cooper's aims: "'All want,' he said, lis, that these poor women shall earn decent and respectable livings, and especially that they shall be kept from marrying bad husbands.
 "This subject of unhappy marriages seemed to be very prominent one in Mir. Cooper's mind. That women were often imposed upon, were ill-used and broken down, he.shad lively conviction; and all his chivalry and sense of fatherly protection were enlisted to save them, so far as he could, from these ordinary misfortunes. While the world is now occupied with the question of what women can be taught, their higher ed ucation, and many kindred subjects, Mir. Cooper's acute genius discovered, as by intuition, many years ago, the rela- tion of women of the middle class to so- ciety, to industries, and the family. He saw that many of them could not marry, and he realized what must be the forlorn position of number of elderly daugh- ters of poor man. He had noted the dangerous likelihood of giddy, ignorant young girls marrying anybody for 8 home, even if the men they married were dissipated or inefficient; and he had the tenderest pity for poor widows or deserted wives. He talked many times, and at great length, on these subjects, and all circumstances and any sort of incident brought up this desire of his 1 heart, to help women to be happy, in- i dependent and virtuous.
 sOne of the last times he was at the school, and while celebrated New York clergyman was giving course of Lenten lectures to women, MT. Cooper, with his face all animated with his sfeeline about it, said: .Dr. - is of the wealthy class, and he has been used to deal with wealthy women. The world does not look like the same place to him that il does to me. If he could be in my place for month, and read the letters I gel from poor and suffering women, ht would think that it would be best te have them taught anything which they could learn to enable them to lessen al this trouble.'"

men declared that it was caused by the trembling of the other young man, but this he denied with painful effort at hilarity.
 "Oh, we're almost there," exclaimed one of the ladies looking up.
 "Yes," replied one of the young men, glancing over the edge, "but it's 8 deep hole down 10 the bottom" This was q most superfuous remark, and dispelled at once the cheerfulness of the group. The scientist alone was unmoved. Glancing at his cardS he remarked:
 "Eight minutes: Milan Cathedral, 355; the shoemadoo pagoda at Pegu, 361; St. Paul's, 365; Hotel de Vile, Brussels, 370; Lubeck Cathedral, 395. Here we are, Antwerp Cathedral, 402; Washington monument at present, 40. '" "Oh! oh!" exclaimed the young ladies. springing off the car and getting at once in the way of the workmen.
 The views were, indeed, novel and grand. The peculiarity of the outlook as compared with others from similar height at once became apparent, and i'm pressed every visitor. This is the entire absence of anything to break the preci- pice that falls in one sheer plunge to the ground. It is a test of the nerves to look down over the edge, and we were all thankful for the wide net rigged around the sides.
 All were admiring the scene when the admiring exclamations were broken in upon by the calm voice of the Professor:
 "There are still higher towers," he said, "such as the chimney of the chemical works at Glasgow and the great pyramid, each 450 feet; St. Peter's, 455; and the Cologne Cathedral, 511." ]"
 "Indeed P exclaimed the young ladies, but their attention was now dis tracted by the beauties of nature and the statistics fell on deaf ears. They therefore turned their backs on the mathematician and let the frivolous young men point out the various objects of interest while he retired from the edge and interrupted the busy superin- tendent to ascertain the distance of the horizon and the pressure of the monu- ment per square foot on the base.

HER PICTURE.

 see her now-the fairest thing That ever mocked mans picturing, Ipicture her as one who drew Aside life's curtain and looked through The mists of all life's mystery As from wood to open sea. The soft, wide eyes of wonderment
 That trusting looked you through and
 through; The sweet, arched mouth, a bow new bent,
 That sent love's arrow swift and true. That sweet arehed mouth The Orient
 Hath not such pearls in all her stores !; Not all her storied spice-set shores Have fragrance such as it hath spent picture her as one who knew How rare is truth 10 be untrue As one who knew the awful sign Of death, of life, of the divine Sweet pity, of all loves, all hates, Beneath the iron-footed fatss. s picture her as seeking peace,
 And olive leaves and vine-set land
 While strife stood by on either hand, And wrung her tears like rosaries picture her in passing rhyme
 As of, yet not part of, these- A woman born above her time;
 A woman waiting in her place,
 With patient pity on her face. Her face, her earnest, baby face;
 Her young face, so uncommon wise The tender love-ight in her eyes Two stars of Heaven out of place. Two stars that sang as stars of old
 Their silent eloquence of song, From skies of glory and of gold.
 Where God in purple passed along That patient, baby face of hers That won thousand worshipers That silent, pleading face; among Ten thousand faces just the one still shall love when all is done, And life lies by, harp unstruDg. That face, like shining sheaves among That face half hid, mid sheaves of gold ; That face that never can grow old; And yet has never been quite young.
