Keep an Engagement

| sued by Manager Stevens for Failing to
Keep an Engagement
NEW YORK, May 16.-The suit of
John A. Stevens, proprietor of the
New Park theatre, of this city. against
Mrs. Emile Charlotte Langtry, for
alleged breach of contract, was begun
before Judge Haines, in the city court,
this afternoon. Mrs. Langtry, accom-
panied by Mr.. Boucicault, was in
court. There was a large crowd
present. The plaintiff charged that
Mrs. Langtry agreed to play at his
theatre during the week between Feb
ruary 20 and March /, 1884. two matt
nees to be included. When Mrs.
Langtry found that one of the matt.
nees would have to be played on Ash
Wednesday, she objected, and the
day was changed to Tuesday
of that week. When Tuesday
came she refused to act, claiming
to be ill. The plaintiffs testimony
showed that several hundred dollars
worth of tickets had been sold for
Tuesday and the money had to be re-
funded. Mr.. Stevens claimed to have
been damaged to the extent of ST.
500.
DIR. Chas. McBurney, for Mrs. Lang
try, testified that that lady had been
working too hard and he had insisted |
upon her giving up the Tuesday mat |
lnee performance. He said that Mrs. |
Langtry was woman of great ener-
gy and firmness and was always anx-
ious to fulfill her engagements.
Mrs. Langtry in her testimony gave |
a detailed account of her engagements |
between last October and March. She |
said she was constantly playing and |
upon three or four occasions had to |
forego performances on account of |
illness. She said she notified Mr.. |
Stevens agent that she could not |
play on the Tuesday referred to and |
believed that her notification was
timely and satisfactory until her prop
erty was attached by Mr.. Stevens.

RY Lnya,s Decree

All, yes, the days are fair and bright.
The winds are low and sweet
And fast along the wastes of night
Fly sorrows restless feet;
The bees among the clover boom,
The poppy'S crimson hood
FlusheS the fields with royal bloom
Whsre late the wheat-sheaYes stood.
The bills that rise towards the west
Are rich with purple haze;
The woodland paths are full Of rest
Through all their shaded ways;
And where the valley fronts the sea
7 here glimmers, like star
Amid the green of slope and tree,
Tie white foam on the bar.
All, dear. how like dream the past,
With all its toll and pain,
When fiercely ragged the bitter blast
Across the weary plainl
For then faced the world alone,
There was no clingihg hand
That would for lonely hours atone,
Nor love to light the land.
The earth is glad with Joyous song.
Now you are by my side,
And changing rays Of sunlight thrOng
Through all the ripping tide;
And rich the freightS that laden ships
Bring from hopes radiant shore,
Whose haven is the fragrant lips,
Mine, mine forevermorei

Many -innocent-sounding express

the other hand many strong-sounding
expressions are perfectly innocent. If

no harm in the phrase, except, of
course, that "don't care" came to a
bad end. A dam" is small Indian

Loves Face.

Love has turned his face away
Weep, sad eyesl
Love is now of yesterday:
Time that flies,
Bringing glad and grievOus things,
Bears no more Loves shining wings.
Love was not all glad, you say;
Tears and signs
In the midst of kisses lay.
Were it wise,
If yOn could, 10 bid him come,
Making with US once more home?
Little doubts that sting and prey,
Hurt relieves;
Words for which a life should pay
None denies
These OF love were very part
ThOrns that hurt the roses heart.
Yet should we beseech love stay,
Sorrow dies;
And II love will but delay
Joy may rise
Since, with all its thorns, the rose
Is more than any flower that blows.

for him to maintain by proof the al

of the offense charged in the com:

which he stands convicted.
