Lecture Date Changed.

The date of the Chaplin entertain
ment hassbeen changed from Friday,
Nov. 10th, to Wednesday. Nov. 10TH
Mr.. Chaplin will impersonate the
characters of Rip Van Wrinkle, the
fine old; legend of the Catskllls.
Washington Irving conceived the
character of Rip, outlining the figure
in the Sketch Book. Boucicault,
who was a wonderful dramatist, add
ed the color and Jefferson immorta-
lized the play upon the stage. Thus
we have the fruits of the best labor
of three of the greatest masters IN
their several lines. 1t is Rips lnno-
cence that wins our love. His every
purpose is good; his weakness there
fore excites compassion. 1t is heal
thy, wholesome, honest character.
Mr.. Chaplin presents his own arrange
ment of the BoucicauIt version by
express permission of Mr.. Jefferson,
for whcm it was written. The play
has proven during the past season to
be one of the pronounced favorites III
Mr.. Chapin's repertoire.

quietly.
They were about to join the dancers

midnight moment had almost arrived,
and those who cared to do SO were to go
to the open windows and on the door

wait for the solemn peal that was to
mark the annual recommencement.
Briarley got wrap to throw over his
cousins shoulders, and then they went
to the further corner of the long bal
cony.
1t was clear, frosty night, and the
stars and the moon were shining with a
brightness that, reflected in the hoar
frost on the grass and trees, illurni-
mated the dark hour with soft, poetic
light. Cecil stood silently by Sybil's

A HARMLESS EARTHQUAKE,
How the Recently Arrived Schmidt
Family tshercd In the
New Year.

In the St. Nicholas, Helen \. Hawley
tells the story of harmless, unneccs-
sary earthquake. 1t was five minutes
to II on the Last night of the old year.
One would suppose that at five minutes
to II every sma!! boy and every small
girl would be in bed and. what is more,
asleep hours ego. Here were Mr..
Schmidt and Mrs. Schmidt, who were
grown up, so that was well enough;
but here were nine little Schmidts, and
they were all wide awake at this late
hour. Peter Schmidt and Hans Schmidt
were twins. There was Greta Schmidt.
there was Louise Schmidt-but dear
me! 1t is too much to give ali their
names. Two pairs of twins make four,
and five who weren't twins-four and
five make nine little Schmidts. And
Papa and Mamma Schmidt, and there
were II in the family. Why were they
all up and dressed at so late an. hour?
To explain, they were just from Ger
many-not that very day, but only a
few weeks from the "Faderland;" and
now they lived in tenement house in
a great city. 1t was not one of the very,
very poor tenements but fairly com
Portable. They had not learned new
ways yet, but did everything as they
had done in the home land.
1t was funny to see them at five min
utes to u on the last night of the old
year. Papa Schmidt and Mamma
Schmidt and all the little Schmidts
stood each one on chair, each one
bent over ready to spring, but with
chin raised, and every eye on the clock.
1t seemed as if that minute hand never
would get over the last five minutes.
When the clock struck IL, they Jumped
to the floor all together, as hard as
ever they could, and shouted: "GIuck-
liches Neu Jahr." as loud as ever they
could. They called ii dumping into
the New \ ear 1t was what they used
to do in Germany. Now, Papa Schmidt
and Mamma Schmidt were really heavy,
and the little Schmidts We're by no
means thin. The tenement house,
though comfortable, was by no means
new. and when they all came down hard
it made things shake.

In the spendor Of the morning, e'er the
stars have vanished quite.
When the earth awaits her bridal in her
robes of spotleSS white
And the millions watch impatient while
the holy bells they hear,
From the orient, old in story, comes again
the glad New Year.
The old year passes slowly, like vision
of the night.
With its eVer-shaded sorrows nd its pleas
ures dimly bright,
In its footsteps all around US lie a peoples
tears impearPd,
And it's dark and silent passage Is the JOY
of all the world;
Let the bells that ring its going greet the
infant New Years birth,
May its dawn proclaim an era that shall
brighten all the earth;
Let every land beneath the sun from trou-
bic find release.
And read upon its brow the sign Of uni
versal peace.
Columbia greets the New Year with a well
come fair to see.
And brighter glow the stars that gem the
banner of the free;
TO the future that 1t brings US, to the days
that come apace,
We trust the mighty destiny that doth in
vest our race;
In the fiushes of its dawning we can see
a grander fame
Than that whose halo gilds to-day our coun-
try's deathless name;
In the brightness and the beauty of the
years initial morn
Beneath the flag our fathers gave a newer
%
Hail the years auspicious dawning! let all
strife and cavil cease,
May every sword be buried meath the
blended bloom Of peace,
May every son of freedom stand erect to-
dav and hear
With lifted soul the chimes that ring the
morning of the wear.

ness, and he wore, also, an air Of deter
muation that suited him very well. It
displaced the appearance of inditfer-
cnce and listlessness which usually
make the hereditary Legislator look limp

As Cecil BriarIey watched the re-
treating figure of the wealthy and cor

with unsought affections, and didn't
know which of the two maidens he
really loved, he summed up the situa-
ton in one word, which he muttered
very bw. and with heartfelt sincerity.
No one heard it, but It is safe to CON
lecture that it was a syllable of most
emphatic disapproval.
Lady Nivyan's rooms presented gay
and brilliant scene that evening. TO
welcome the new year with dancing
and revelry, with music and mirth, was
perhaps typical of the giddy social
whirl in which hostess and guests re-
volved in their more or less important
positions; but, after all, every day,
every hour, sta:t new year, and it is
only sentiment and commercial cOnven-

How often have they shown mistakes OF
theirs,
Which they had made when in their
youthful days;
Thus warned their hearers. lest they'd not
beware.
So, fall into the error of their ways.
How often have these words gone unre-
called,
Til death came staring at the open door;
Then hearts have stood in terror, and, APP
palled,
Too late repented of the sins Of yore.
Bright youth afar from us may long have
fled;
Old eyes may be our only guides and
charts;
But still another year has softly sped,
And finds us weak, with lowly contrite
hearts.
But now before us lies a snow-white path,
For us to tarnish, trample, blacken as we
will;
oh, give us strength. so when the year has
passed,
The road behind shall be the white path
still.
