Grass a-growing in every town;

Banks adjusting and trade heels up,
Labor cramped like a pizened pup;
Homes but prisons of woe and want,
Where wan-faced prisoners. weak and

that time has kept abreast OF the
times In all new methods pertaining
to this art While In Chicago last

who desire 1t, and plays produced
from time to time in which the pupils
of Mrs. Johnson's school will take
part.
On the first Monday evening of
