That Office Bow.

In one of the biggest law offices in this city
there is employed a little pale faced boy,
whose bright eyes are forever on the alert to
detect something. He doesn't care much
what it is so that it violates some of the rules
laid down by his employers or seems to him
TO be wrong and needful of correction. His
contempt for wealth and power is unsur-
passed, and he will detect some slight tract
ure of the rules by a famous man and chide
him as quickly as though he were the poorest
client on the list of his employers. His little
desk is near the entrance. and here he sits
throughout the day with his pointed chin in
his hands and his eyes fixed upon some bloody
tale of hairbreadth escapes But his wits
are always on edge and the fall of the light
est footstep without causes him TO prick up
his ears and listen with every fiber OF his
body. When the person enters he asks:
Who did you wish to seer
"Mr ="
'What did you wish to see him aboutr
Il viii tell him."
Every we'll
Then the boy resumes his reading, and the
visitor, after puzzled glance at the row OF
Little Offices. says:
Please tell Mr. - that Mr. Smith is out
here and would ike to see him
w nat aboutT'
Bless your inpude ice, what's that &c
Four'
The boy returns YEARLY TO his book, and
pays no further attention 10 anything outside
Of it until Mr.. Smith weakeus and says:
Tell him / want TO sse him ABOUT the
Blank ulstter."
Then the hoy locks up and says with an air
Of renewed interest IN life

Dear Mr.. Editor,

| had the pleasure Oh Monday night
of being among the large audience which
witnessed the Entertainment given by
the Amateurs of the PI9nix Dramatic
Association, at the School House, and
though l do not intend by this TO eulogize
the efforts OF these young ladies & gentle.
men, still, l cannot forbear cOngratulating
them on the very fair manner in which
each character was sustained, all things
considered.
II was much to be regretted, however.
that at lines, especially during the patIe.
tic and sentimental parts of the Drama,
when the acting was meant to be most
effective, to observe and hear some of the
Ladies, from whom one would expect much
better conduct, giving vent to OutburSts Of
laughter and giggling, producing as yon
may imagine, two evils-One, to dampeR
the spirits of the Amateurs and auOIhet
still more telliDg,-causiDg m~iSbehaviOur
among the back seats.
This must necessarily have been much
to the annoyance Of the more thoughtful
and sensible, and for ali that the matter
being brought so far may not have any
effect, still I feel sure that I voice the
opinion of several who were present.
Trusting soon again to see our young
friends on the boards, and thanking you
Mr.. Editor, for space allowed,
/ am Sir,
Your Obdt. Servt.,
VERITAS.
