FAUST.


The rendition last evening of Nor
rison's Faust at Reeds opera house,
was a most credltable event, and
proved a rare variation from most en-
tertainmentsg given here. The Mephis-
to, as presented by Mr.. Roberts, was a
great success. lie without doubt
gives comprehensive Interpretation
of Goethe's great devil. The electri-
cal and other mechanical effects were
superb, and added greatly to the in
terest and intensity of the play. The
character of Faust was weak in COM
parison with that of Mephisto, while
Marguerite wassexceedingly well rem
dered, although Miss Martin is a trifle
too stout to present the ideal fiaxen-
haired heroine. The play as rendered
last evening, gave many Salem people
first opportunity to become famil-
lar with this greatest literary and
dramatic prod uction since the days of
Shakespeare. The Patton Bros. are
entitled to great credit for bringing
to our city this high grade of en-
tertainments.

Dressed IN her famous wedding gown,
To attend the fancy ban.
No wrinkle mars her dear. sweet face,
She looks. with checks aglow.

Seventy years ago!
No wonder she was worshiped then
In al the country side,
No wonder hearts were broken when
She wore this gown a bride!
And O! tonight she's just as fair.
As when she wore it SO.
With girdled waist and powdered hair,
Seventy years age!
The satin. once of spotloss white.
Is yellowed with the years.
The veil that fell in folds OF light
Is stained. but no- with tears;
For graEdmas life was one long May.
Ana free from i'll and woe.
As was her perfect wedding day.
Seventy years ago!
Tonight. in all her youth and grace.
For all to praise that see
The old love-light upon her face.
She comes to dance with me.

with profit to our people. the following
