A domestic comedy in three acts, entitled
My Best Friend" was presented at The
Alcazar Theater last evening by Miss Mel
lie McHenrYa and her well-selected dramatic
company. Though not a pretentious piece
of work it proved very entertaining to a
very demonstrative audience. Miss Nc
Henry has part in Elva, lovable. frol-
icsome, high spirited young girl,
in which her admirable histrionc
attanments and spontaneity found
ample scope. Some serious business
occurring occasionally in the comedy was
also i'll her way and served to show that she
is something considerably above the or
binary soubrette artistic. Her singing and
dancing met with much appreciation, and
she was called upon to respond to several
encOres. The support was adequate. Mr..
James Macready, as Quack doctor that
has met with many vicissitudes in his
career, was well placed, and he shared the
honors of the evening with the ''star."
Mr.. John Webster got a good deal of fun
out of the part of Robert Melville, BASH
full young man. Miss Clara Baker Rust
deserves word of commentator for the
efficient manner in which she handled the
character of Lena Steele. Miss McHenry's
two handsome canine pets also took part in
the comedy. "My Best Friend" should do
a good weeks business.

Conway sat still moment. Then he
said, in a voice full of tears: " Mac,
dear old Mac, God knows Pm sorry this
has happened. But do love herl"

low, God bless you, and success to your
wooing."
Champ Conway groaned and sat
silent; then, springlng up, he embraced
the man by his side, and cried: Mac,
you always were the noblest fellow on
earth, but l can't accept your sacrifice.
Let each man take his chance, and let
her decide when the war is over. We
will still be friends"
Always friends" echoed the cap
tain, as they turned and strobe back to
the tent. What MacGregor told Rose
Fairchild that night Conway never
knew until long years afterward. He
left the tent as Conway saluted and en-
tered.
"She wants YOU" whispered Mac
Gregor, as he passed him, in voice so
choked and hoarse that Conway in
voluntarily turned to detain him, when
a clear low voice said: " Pray come in,
sergeant"
In an instant Conway had entered
the tent. He saluted, and stood before
the woman he so passionately loved.
Presently she spoke: " Will you do me
a great favor?"
:" will do whatever you ask"
"Don't be rashl 1 want you to take
this letter to lady in Marshall Her
husband is in great danger. Oh! 1t
must go tonight, and whom can trust
but-but your" she added, in tone so
low that he barely caught the sound.
Champ was in an awful predicament.
He had to take charge of detail of the
guard that night, and how could he re-
fuse her? She who trusted him above
the whole army. Mol if he died for it
he would carry that letter. She saw
his emotion, but attributed it to another
cause. He was a gentleman of lineage
and breeding equal to her own, but he
was sergeant only. The barriers of
rank he would not break. She rose
from her seat and went to him, looking
him earnestly in the eye.
&" Here is the letter." she said.
His eyes fell and his breast heaved
as that of a man who had been running
miles to save his life.
" Mr.. Conway" she said, eff this
mission is disagreeable to you"
He stopped her by gesture. She
held out her hand to him. He seized
it, and, falling on one knee, kissed il
rapturously, and, springing to his feet,
was thrilled and transformed by the
look upon her beautiful face. Without
a word he held out his arms. Without
word, but with great sob of relief,
she crept into them, and looking up
into his face she saw there the mighty
desire that famed in his clear, gray
eyes. With gesture that had all of a
maiden's modesty in it and all the
hungry passion of an absorbing love,
she put her arms around his neck, and
as they pressed each others lips they
lived in a paradise which comes only
once to every man and woman in this
world, and that only for few fleeting
seconds.

Sunday the WOrkman's Day.

A few years before the death of Mr..
Mark Lemon, the editor of the London
Punch, he made the following confess
sion to a friend, who vouches for it,
and who was demonstrating with him
for the ridicule which, in that journal,
he had persistently poured upon the
friends of the Lords day. In reply to
a remark that on this subject the work
ing people seemed to be in advance of
Christians, and that if the barriers
which surround the Lords day were
broken down, ultimately they, the
workmen, would have to do seven
days. work for six days pay, Mr..
Lemon said: " Now l will make con-
fession to you which have not made
to others. Some time ago | got up
petition in favor of the opening of the
British Museum on Sundays, and sent
it into our printing office for the men
to sign, when, judge of my astonish-
ment, the foreman came to my room
and said: If you please, sir, do you
press for the signing of this petition?
For, unless you do, the men would
rather not sign it, What in the
world do you mean by that? Why, it
is for their benefit that we want mu-
seums opened on Sundaysp Well,

well as museums would be open on
Sunday, toop Now" added Mr..
Lemon, "that petition was never
signed. The conduct of the men made
a strange impression on my mind, and
/ honestly acknowledge that it furnishes
strong fact for your side of the ques-
ton" The narrator added: " From
the day of this interview until his
death | never heard of Mr.. Lemon
having penned an unkind line against a
better observance of the Lords day"

Manly Christianity.

To be manly is to be strong, and if
we would be really strong we must be
steadfast in the faith, and constantly
watch against all that would lure us
from it, Some people nowadays seem
TO imagine that it is very manly to pa
rade their doubts about the truth of the
Bible and to sit in judgment on the
oracles of God. To do so seems so hon
est, so intelligent, so Independent; but
is it so? Every anxious seeker after
truth is sure to meet with doubts and
difficulties in religion, and they are to
the mind like gymnastic exercises to
the body-a means of expanding our
mental and spiritual energies and de-
veloping our moral strength. But to
be content to live in an atmosphere of
uncertainty about matters of the deep
est moment 10 ourselves and others,
and never TO strive to rise out of it, this
is proof of weakness of character,
while it imperils our eternal safety. In
fact, indecision in religion, whatever
may be its cause, is decidedly unmanly.
"a double-minded man." writes St.
James G:S), sis unstable in all his
ways" One who can not make up his
mind as to what course he will take in
life and which master he will serve,
but is always hating between two opin-
ions, is sure to act feebly and incon-
sistently. Men will have no confidence
in either his judgment or his prin-
ciples. Belonging distinctly to neither
the church nor the world, he is viewed
with suspicion by both. Tossed about
by opposing currents, he is ready to be
carried down by the stream much
farther from the right and safe course
than he ever intended. James the First
of England and the Sixth of Scotland
was a man of this stamp. Though con-
scious of this fatal defect, he is said to
have, on a certain occasion, appointed
minister to preach before him who
was singularly apt in his choice of suit
able texts. The preacher, with the ut
most gravity, announced his text as
from James the first and sixth, " He
that wavereth is like a wave of the sea,
driven with the wind and tossed" The
witty monarch felt the force of the al
fusion, and said aloud, " He is at me
already" What effect the discourse
produced upon his mind we are not
told, but it would be we'll if all waver-
ers would take the warning to them.
