Characterization Of the heroine in drama
1t is a pathetic work, and 1t can well be
imagined that Mrs. Bammelsberg did ful
justice TO the role, both unsteady and
dramatically.
In the first act, appearing % q peasant
she worea dress OF light blue and ruby
velvet. The next acts see the heroine ii
Paris in grand palace, the wife OF 4
nobieman. In these scenes she wore &
dress Of shell pink MORE antique with
long, full train. The front was composed
OF aounces Of Duchesse lack, with pink
pearls drapld on the arms and neck. In
the last act she returns 10 the peasant
dress, but tattered and torn, with her hall
flowing loose. In this scene her BEAUTY
alone enhanced, II II could be-, by the
picturesqueness Of the costume must have
added to the artistic features OF her tri.

TUNNEL.
rhe Awful Mistake of a New-Mado Bride
groom.

Ths Awful Mistake OF a NeW-hlauo nii'
groom.
A newly married couple were en- route
to Washington by the Baltimore u
Ohio. There are many tunnels on
this road the other side of the ONO
river. All through Ohio the face OF
the young ma wore occasional looks
ofpain, despite his great JOY. Heseem-
ed to want something. Apparently he
yearned. Over in West Virginia the
train entered a tunnel. Upon emerg-
ing into the light the young man'stace
was seen to wear q studiOus expression.
He was thinking. At first he seemed
perplexed, then interested, then trl-
umphant. He had had q revelation.
Then he smiled with a firm, manly,
continuous smile, and his eyes peered
aheadforthefir first sign of yawningcaV
ern in themountain side. The bride was
happy and demure. Whish-shadows-
rumbles-darkness~ The veil is drawn.
1t is another tunnel. Light again, and
the young man looks happier than
ever. The brides cheek disports a gen
tie blush-a modest inexperienced
blush, discovered only to the initiated
and envi0us. No perpIexity, no anx-
iety now. The revelation has been
tested and found asuceess. There are
many tunnels, but not enough. If the
whole line were a tunnel the bride and
groom would not care how slow the
train proceeded. The man who has
not lived to bless the builders of tun-
nels does not know what happiness is.
He is but little above the brute, which
never. troubled the Creator for passing
clouds over the moon ON prayer-meet-
ing night. But our bridegroom was
not one of these parties. He APP
preGiated all the blessings which man
and nature has bestowed upon him.
Heidi not miss q tunnel.
But all things must nave an end.
Daylight always comes to the newly
married. Strawberries and cream
must be paid for at the cashiers desk.
Within this blissful cucumber hides a
micrObe. Our young husband goesfor
a drink OF water. While on this er-
rand his eager eye catches the signs of
another tunnel. OF course he fears
his birdie will be sore. afraid if left
alone in the darkness. and he hastens
to her side. Quick are his feet, but
faster moves the train. Darkness
gathers while he is yet half a dozen
seats away. But the brave man does
not falter. He gropes along, he reach
es the seat Tor thinks he does) and
slides into it. Deep are.the shadows
and huns the train.
A scream, long and vigorous-a
sound of scuff1ing-a thunNp or two
and the bright light of o May day
breaks upon the scene. The young
husband franticallY endeavors to dis
engage himselffrom thegrasp of an an
cry oolored woman sitting in the seat
just behind the bride. He at length
succeeds and retires suddenly to his
seat, -wiping his mouth and occasion
ally splitting upon the floor as if he
had bitten through a worm in a fig.
The tunnels come and go, but their
shadows are scarcely deeper than
those upon the face of the young
honeymoon.
