THOSE LIPS.
A BALLAD.

Impusively my heart will throb
when thoughts return OF thy sweet face
The day-dreams thy ripe lips inspire
Yield pleasures nothing can eface
Such lips as lead the bee astrsy,
Mistaken for the opening rose;
Induce the humm bird to seek
The sweets their tint seems TO disclose.
In days gone by we met and loved;
With love Inspired in realms beyond
Our faith we plighted: hearts and souls
Enioined to one loye-theme respond.
parted and with tokens vowed
Again our sacred troth to keep.
One to the Indies went with fate.
The other wanders DER the deep.
Though long gone save from memory
Thy gracious lips yield sweetness still.
Their young bloom seems to-day as fresh
AS when they spoke thy LOVING will.
Sad face so loved Sweet lips so bessedl
Endow them with some magic power,
Oh bring them ever to my heart;
Sweet fate be thou my cOniuror.

The Stage This Week.


Few plays ever graced the dramatic
stage that introduced more happy and
original characters than did Mr.. William
Gillette's domestic comedy The Private
Secretary. The tutor, as presented, is
clerical-looking individual, tall and slen-
der, nervous in temperament. with a
smooth, stealthy movement as he crosses
fashion Of expressing himself by odd ex-
"d'you know" with long drawl,
spoken in an upper registration (as
musician would explain it) at introduc-
ton, or on the entrance OF the secretary
to his new home, where he is engaged
to instruct the young ladies in their
studies. One is inclined to doubt any
great amount of fun in such looking
individual, but that alone is the secret
OF the plays remarkable success. This
absurd and droll character, like all the
rest, through the differ ent scenes, grad
ually grows in the light OF absurdity and
the panoramic confusion of incidents
and accidents that befall this quaint in
dividual, so excites the risibility of
the attentive auditor. that before the
curtain falls on the first act, the poor,
care-worn secretary and his tittering
audience are the best of friends and in
harmony and sympathy with each other.
The collusions, errors and impediments
that befall him in the following two acts
give rise to the greatest confusion, and
all concede at the finish that the secre-
tary is by far the funniest individual
they have ever seen.
