Master Ralph Brigham, ''The Boy
Orator." will give one of his inlmlta-
Bile entertainments at the Town-Hall
in Morrisville. on Monday evening,
Feb. 8. Master Ralph is the wonder
of the continent, if not of the world,
to-day in oratory elocution and per-
sonation of character. This power
with him is not the result of human
teaching, or teachers, but the direct
gift of God. At the early age of six
years it became so clearly manifest in
him that he was put upon the platform
in the city of Richmond, Va, to ad-
dress six thousand people, who went
away amazed at such wonderful power
in a child. What is true with the
people of Richmond has been true
with the citizens of all the cities and
towns he has visited east, south, west
and as far north as he has reached, in
many places giving from ten to sixty
different entertainments, with crowd
ed halls every night. Note wha
some among the many eminent cler
gymen say after hearing him: Rev
DR.. Baldwin, the most popular paste
10 Troy, n. Y, tor the last half cen
tury, says: "That he should develo
such rare ability is, to me, simpl,
wonderful" Rev. DR.. Cuyler, c
BROOKLYN, n. Y, says: ''Too muc
cannot be said in favor of the DO
Ralph. He is more than wonderful.
The Rev. DIR. j. P. Newman, the ia
,yorite minister of our late believe
General U. S. Grant: "What other
have labored all through life's journe
to acquire, this child has caught up
the Hayside on the morn of that jou
new" Prof Murdoch, the distil
,guished elocutionist, of New York
EsHe stands alone in the world, wit
out an equal as a natural elocutlonls
and that it would be absolutely impo
sible for the ablest elocutionist in Il
country to teach him what nature hi
taught him better" For further sa
ings of men and the press, see bill
which will be duly circulated. III
entertainment will be of the highe
order in it's moral tone. Rememb
that it is only about once in ce
tury that God gives such charact
to the world, hence, if any lose tt
chance to see and hear the prodigy
this century, the loss will be everlas
ing with them. Let all govern thel
selves accordingly.
