 Unalloyed merriment is in store for the patrons of the New Haven Opera House in the appearance of those irresistible comedi- ans. Messrs. Barry and Fay, which will occur Friday and Saturday evenings of next week. It is impossible to convey in print any idea of the rare fun produced by these clever actors. It is not in certain scenes or situa- tions in the performance that they cause up roarious laughter. Their very appearance does that. Barry, short and stout, with a face beaming with good nature and ex- pressive of jollity, whose every movement of body and limb is intensely ludicrous, although unstudied and perfectly natural, and Fay, tall and slender, whose face is 8 study, always grave yet sparkling with drol- Iery, whose sober earnestness and quiet de. meanor under the most Imaginable eircum stances keep his auditors constantly cons vulsed, these are the geriuses whose appear ances are calculated to set New Haven laugh- ing. They will have the support of 8 care fully selected company, and the enconiums pronounced upon the comedy, ssMcKenns's Filtration, ]" throughout the country make ab- solutely certain an entertainment meriting the widest patronage. The sale of seats will begin Tuesday morning.

1t is my impression that farm without a
boy would soon come to grief What boy
does is the life of the farm He is the facto-
tum, always in demand, and always expected
to do the thousand and one things that no
body else will do. Upon him falls the odds
and ends the most difficult things After
everybody else is through he is to finish up
His work is like woman's, perpetually
waiting on others. Everybody knows how
much easier it is to cook q good dinner than
TO wash the dishes afterward. Consider
what boy on farm is required to do,
things that must be done, or life would
actually stop. 1t is understood, in the first
place, that he is to do all the errands, to go
to the store, to the postoffice and to carry
all sorts of messages. If he had as many
legs as the centipede they would tire before
night.
He is the one who spreads the grass as the
men cut it; he slows it away in the barn; he
rides the horse to cultivate the corn up and
down the hot, weary rows; he picks up the
potatoes when they are dug; he brings wood
and water and splits kindling; he gets up the
horse and turns out the horse. Whether he Is
in the house or out of the house, there is al
ways something to do. Just before school in
the winter he shovels paths; in the summer
he turns the grindstone. And yet, with his
mind full of schemes of what he would like
to do, and his hands full of occupation, he is
an idle boy who has nothing TO busy himself
with but schools and chores He would
gladly do all the work if somebody else would
do all the chores, he thinks; and yet, doubt
if any boy ever amounted to anything in the
world, or was of much use as a man, who did
not enjoy the advantages of liberal ednca-
ton in the way of chores.-Charles Dudley

For hours this lamentation, with its chorus
of "Hoya ALA goes on the mouIners
getting more and more excited until posi-

often do themselves serious harm did not the

fire is made and water heated and the body
washed, clothed in n white shirt with hood

cover Che fingers, and then in pair Of white
drawers that similarly conceal the feet. The
praying scarf is wrapped over all, and the
