father and mother having followed him

storm, the father sat down and penne6
the following verses, which were pub
Hshed in the Kentuckian- Citizen at the
time.
o, cruel day of seYenty-three,
Stern March of twenty-siX,
Poor Richard and his doting ma,
Why dds thou come betwiXt?
Why Westward doom the darling child
To Oregon on the deep.
And leave his mother-O, how, God,
To sigh, to mourn, to weep?
Had st Thou no pity for the one,
No compassion for the other,
That Thou should st rudely serve ties
That bound the two together?
UnfeeIing day-and if TO teach
Thy memory to abhor,
Thou salhedst forth in pomp and pride
And circumstance of war.
ALL Thou contest not with sunbeams,
With smiling and lovely face
To lift the jewel gently
From its precious jewel place.
With clouds and tempest come thou,
And brow with storm 'Oercast,
And bore the tender child away
Mid rain and snow and blast.
Farewell, dear Ma,"-what touching
words
And farewell, my Child"
Mid streaming tears and fond embrace,
farewell, farewell, my child"

Steer, which will be seen here at the

sents an interesting story in a legiti-
mate, dramatic way, bringing out hu-
man character consistently, and follow
ing carefully distinct and ingenious
plot. Mirth, gaiety and absurdity are
but reasonable adjuncts of the scenes
and incidents of the piece. The princi-
pal roles will be assumed by the original
cast that made the piece famous during
it's long run III New York, Maverick
Brander'. the new congressman, being
assumed by James R. Mccain, and the
Minister from Dahomey", by Will H.
Bray, who is inimical in the part. Miss
Florence Rossland plays "Bossy'', the
sweet, lovable, independent daughter of
the congressman, and typical Texas
girl.
Mr.. Mccain and his wife, who is also
with the company, will be given rous-
ing reception by their many friends in

that the interest shown in the coming
