Never since we left the classic walls of
our alma mater, twenty five years ago,
have we attended more delightful enter
tainment than the lecture by Mrs. Bliss at
Nokes Opera house on Wednesday even
ing. Her review of the character and
writings Of the gifted poet evidenced
thorough acquaintance with them. The
grace of her delivery was inimitable, and
her analysis and glowing eulogy of the
soft and tender beauty of Longfellows
poems gave evidence of high order of
culture, and deep and true appreciation
| of the beauty of poetry. Her recital Of
many of his finest poems was received
with warm applause. her portrayal of the
death Of "Minnehaha" was invested with
| deep pathos, SO was His Lines on the
| Death of his Wife," THE Wooing Of Miles
| Standish." and the 'Answer of the Puritan
| Maiden" why don't you speak for
| yourself, John was exactly of the oppo-
| site nature, and brought down the house.
| The opera house was filled with an in
! telligent and critical audience, and all ex-
pressed themselves as delighted with the
artistic conception and the vivid delinea-
| ton Of the beauty of the great poets writ
| ings.
