NIGHT AND DAY.

The night seems long, my Father. Shadows rise.
~, And dark across my pathway fall;
mere ls no light of dawn in Orient skies,
And sorrow shrouds me like pall
The stars of Faith and Hope so dim have grown;
Oh! rift the gloom and send their radiance down
The morn was fair seen with glad childhoOd's eyes
world Of sunshine, love and flowers;
Not sweeter was the bliss OF Paradise,
AS onward fed the swift-winged hours;
AT noon reveed in the sunshine still,
And felt no prescience of the twilight chill
am SO tired, my Father. The rough path
Is stIswn with wrecks of joys long gone;
scarce can lift my dim and weary gaze
To watch the coming of the dawn:
On let me lean and rest against Thy Heart
Til glorious day shall break aud night depart

Ways to Become Attractive.
(Pall Mall Gazette

|
 A Parisian newspaper has been teach Ing its lady readers "how to be attractive" Surely the readers of the Vle Pa,fsienss ought to be in no need of advice such as the following: "Lo k confident and in- different :; express yoursel: simply and with voice as sweet as possible. Be keenly alive to everything that passes, yet appear absent minded know as much as possible, yet please by asking ques tions. Having read everything, appear ignorant; heard all, always express sur prise; desiring everything, ask for noth- ing. Be light-hearted to preserve your beauty be indulgent to attract sym pathy"-and so on. These laws-some evidently anti-blue.stocking laws-are laid down as absolute, with one exception Blush neither for shame nor for pleas ure," to which is added eff you can help it." Verify, the good old saying holds good still Ill fau, souffrir pour etre belle" There are, however, some clauses which might with equal advan- tage be applied to both sexes. For in- stance: Do not force wit; always listen attentivcly be charitable for your own satisfaction: be frank and you need never be afraid of the truth see things at a glance judge quickly and think more quickly still in order to keep a cool head <" But wise as these saws are, and however much the world might be benefited by a mere general application of them, they belong decidedly to the category of pre- cepts more easily preached than prac. ticed

An American Audience.

tHenTy Irving. in Fortnightly Review.l
 The dominant characteristic of the American audience seems to be impar- tiality. They do not sit in judgment, re- senting as positive offenses lack of power to convey meaning or divergence of in- depreciation of a particular character or scene. l understand that when they do not like performance they simply go away, 90 that at the close of the evening the silence of a deserted house gives to the management a verdict more potent than audible condemnation. This does not apply to questions of morals, which can be, and are, as quickly judged here as elsewhere. On thls subject give en- tirely the evidence of o,hers, for it has been my good fortune to see our aud- fences seated till the final falling of the curtain. Again, there is kindly feeling on the part of the audience toward the actor as an individual, especially if he be not complete stranger, which is, 1 presume, part of that recognition of individuality which is so striking a char. acteristic in American life and customs. Many an actor draws habitually portion vf his audience, not in conse quence of artistic merit, not from capacity to arouse or excite emotion, but simply because there is something ia his personality which they like. This spirit forcibly re- minds me of the story told of the man. ager of one of the old "circuits," who gave as a reason for the continued en- gagement of an impossibly bad actor, that "he was kind to his mother" The thorough enjoyment of the audience is another point to be noticed. Not only are they quick to understand and appre. ci ste, but there seems to be genuine pleasure in the expression of approval. American audiences are not surpassed in quickness and completeness of compre. hension by any that have yet seen, and no actor need fear to make his strongest or his most subtle effort, for such is sure to receive instant and fulb acknowledge ment at their hands. There is little more than this to be said of the American audience. But short though the record is, the impression upon the player him. self is profound and abiding. To de- scribe what one sees and hears over the footliPhts is infinitely easier than to con- vey an idea of the mental disposition and feeling of the spectators. The house is ample and comfortable, and the audience is well disposed to be pleased. Ladies and gentlemen alike are mostly in morn- ing dress, distinguished in appearance. and guided in every respect by a refined decorum. The sight is generally pict- uresque. Even in winter flowers abound, and the majority of ladies have bouquets, either carried in the hand ar fasfen ed m the shoulder or corsage. At matinee performances especially, where the larger proportion of the audience is composed of ladies, the effect is not less pleasing to the olfactoy senses than to the eye Courteous, patient, enthusiastic, the American audience is worthy of any effort which the actor can make on its behalf, and he who has had experience of them would be an untrustworthy chronicler if he failed, or even hesitated, to bear witness to their intelligence, their taste, and their generosity.
