THE TWILIGHT SONG.

Passing by an humble dwelling
Hidden in the foliage deep;
There heard mother singing
AS IS she rocked her babe to sleep:
Soft and low the notes were blended.
by an unseen choir led:
"H-t-sh, my dear, Lie Still and s-lu-m-
Der,
Holy angels GUARD thy b-e-d!'
Soft the cooling baby answered,
with the happy signs OF love,
While adown the moonbeams Quivered
watchers from the world above.
But the mother sung unheeding,
Lips pressed to the downy head:
'H-u-s-h my dear, lie Still and s-l-u-m-
be-r,
Holly angels guard thy b-e-dr'
When passed again at nightfaH,
Closed and dark the easement there.
And above the humble threshold
Hung the black flag of despair.
But in music soft the mother
Sung beside her baby dead:
"H-u-s-h my dear, lie still and s-u-m-
b-e-r,
Holly angels GUARD thy b-e-d!"
Soon my restless footsteps wandered
In graveyards tranquil space,
There, IN the dark garb of sorrow,
Saw that familiar face,
And the tear-choked voice was singing
BY grave with roses spread:
H-us-h, my dear, lie s-t-i-l-l and s-lu-m-
Holly angels guard thy b-e-d!''
Yesterday walked in sadness
By that home where grief had been,
But the mothers voice was silent,
And in death her face serene:
Far away l heard the whisper
Of a song that Heavenward sped:
Hush, my, dear, lie s-t---l and s-l-u-m-
Holy angels guard thy b-e-d!'

The hours glided by, the city rose in
to view, passengers came on deck with
sachels and umbrellas, prepared fol
going ashore, but still that particular
cabin-door remained closed. They
were at the wharf, the staging was run
out, and dozen or more citizens
rushed across with that strange eager
ness so inexplicable to the voyager,
whose eagerness impels him in the OBJ
posite direction. Julius still maintain
ing his watch st the companion way,
felt himself gently put aside by tail,

coat, who went with a careful haste
down the brass steps. He heard little
cry, and peering through sky-light he
saw Miss Elton in the arms of the gray
haired gentleman, her head pressed
against the brown coat, and her ewes
upturned to meet his Specialized gaze.
''Her uncle!'f he muttered, peevishly;
''who the dickens is he anyhow"
He moved discontentedly to the side
and looked at the people hurrying
ashore.

samples Of goods piled in front of their

"Romany Rye"

Had another fine audience last night, quite
as large as tbs previous evening, and it is
safe to say that the attendance was more
than satisfied with the rendition of the
piece and the splendid scenic and mechan-
ical effects, which are embraced IN so elab-
crate a presentation. Every member OF
the company of over thirty people is thor
oughly up to the text, and the smooth, sys-
tem'tic manner in which everything moved
along, the absence of the prompter's voice
or the failure of single move in all the
splendid scenery--in fact, the perfect syS'
TEN with which the minutest detail was
surrounded, were source OF pleasure to the
audience, aud constitute the keynote of
the great success which has attended the
play throughout the country. Miss Baker
as Gertie won the hearts of her hearers be-
fore she had been on the stage moment.
Her sweet face, graceful bearing, perfectly
mOdulated voice, with an utter absence of
maunerisms which so often handicap the
best talent, combined with "a most simple
and becoming costume, could not well do
otherwise than carry the large audience by
storm. The little lady was evidently the
prime favorite of the evening. Miss Good
rich as Lurs Lee was well received. With
voice of considerable power, thorough
understanding Of the requirements Of the
character, she at times displayed a force
and pathos that won the greatest applause.
Too much cannot be SAID of the Mother
Shipton Of Madame Melville. We regard
it as the most perfect piece of acting that
has been rendered here 10 many years, In
the cellar scene, where the old bag appears
as the eccomplice of trio Of murderous
scoundrcls, her croakings, her "Yoa, my
dearie," actually made ones blood chill, 50
realistic was the character portrayed Fur
ther on when the mother love makes her
woman's heart assert itself as she is in the
very act of administering poison to the
handsome prisoner, and she determines to
save his life at the risk of her own she
rises to point of dramatic power rarely
reached except by talent of a very high
order. We were constantly reminded of
the grand and powerful Mrs. Wa Ter in her
palmy days when her rendition of the great
of Meg Merrelies was pronounced
by many intelligent critics to be superior
to that of Charlotte Cushman. Mr.. Han
dyside as JACK Hearne, the gypsy gentle
man, was success throughout, while Maui
rice Drew portrayed the villainous Philip
Royston with such effect that he was heart
lily despised by the audience-the true test
of an actors ability. James P. Conyers as
Boss Kulvett scored q decided hit. HIS
makeup, dialect, ETC., were applauded to
the letter. There is not a gle stick in
the company, which is saying good deal
for combination of this magnitude.
"Romany Rye" will always receive
warm welcome from q Cairo audience, and
We out echo general wish in expressing a
hope that they may be induced to return
here at some future time.
