Drama Followed by TabIeaux.

Following the drama the time was
very entertainingly taken up with four
tableaux. The characters were all we'll
taken, the costumes i'll keeping with
the scenes, and the posing brought
forth the applause of the audience.
The first was a supper scene from
''Vanity Fair" The characters who
posed were Beckey Sharp Miss Flor
ence Foster); Lord Steyne (Mr. John
Anthony, and Rawdon Crawley
Clarence RaymOnd.) The second
tableaux was scene from Janice
Meredith. Miss Eba Wilds repre-
sented 'Janice," Mr. Hirons Denney
''Lieut. Jack BreretOn; "and "Old
Dina" the colored woman was taken by
Miss Mary LeFevre. The third tab
leaux was from "Alice of Old Vincen-
ness, p" the recovery of the locket. Miss
Marie Estlin represented "Alice Rous-
sillien"; John LeFevre, ,"Long Hair,
the Indian, and Henry Janney, "Lit-
tie Jean," the hunch back. The last
tableaux was from the Little Minis
ter" in two scenes. The ''Little
Minister" was taken by Cummins
Speakman, and "Babbie" was imper-
sonated by A. Lee Clifton. During
the burlesque acting, a number of
heads composing the deacons and elders
were peeping over garden fence Of
the manse. AS the scenes were rem

MRS. ELIZABETH FRY
(By Mrs, FIorence P. Dearth.)

(By Mrs Florence P. Dearth.) }
Youth IS the time for facts; princi-
pies must tarry for the age of maturity
and discrimination. The female mis-
sionary who leaves her childhood 5
home, the home of riDer years" for
an ocean voyage and foreign lands, en-
lists the spirit of romance which glows
in every youthful mind; while the
home missionary, perhaps even more
laborious and self-denying, awakens
comparatively little sympathy and ad
miration. But it is our present inten-
tion to detail the history of one, who
without leaving her native shores,
stopped to the lowest heather in
Christian land. one whose labors, and
their results were so unique and vast,
that romance fades before reality and
truth exceeds the largest fiction. l in
troduce to YOU this afternoon, the
character and labOrs of Mrs. Elizabeth
Fry, a minister of the Society of
Friends. One whose name will be held
in remembrance so long as the noble
traits of Christian heroism and love
are honorel among men. Elizabeth
Fry was the third daughter of John
Gurney, ESD, of Earlham Hall, near
Norwich, England. Her active an un-
firing eXertiOns in the cause of suffer-
ing humanity unparalleled in one OF
her sex, acquired for her in her lifetime
the name of the Female Howard :"
She enjoyed every advantage of socie-
ty and cultivation; also possessed in an
eminent degree those minor qualifica-
tion5 of form and voice, which though
nothing in themselves are, when sane
titled by the grace OF God, no slight
element in the success of those who
are called to such appeal TO others.
When a child she early learned the les
son of enhancing the happiness and
soothing the cares and sorrows of all
around her. As she grew uD philan-
thropy became q marked and settled
feature of her character. and she took
great delight in forming a school on
her fathers premises for the poor chill
dren of Earlham and all the surround
ing parishes. At the age of eighteen
she experienced change OF heart.
She became more than ever the JOY
and comfort of the home circle. At
the ace of twenty she married Joseph
Fry, Of London. who was then engaged
with his brother in an extensive COM
mercial business. Like her own fam

REBECCA SHARP
(By Mrs. E. E. Phillips. }


l never was hero-worshiper, much
less perhaps an adorer of heroines.
When asked for ten minute paper on
my favorite heroine how easy to have
said-ah, yes-it is Penelope or Des-
demona, or the divine Beatrice, whom
Dante adored. or the Gretchen of
Faust, or one of the fair maids of Ten
nyson. But none of these seemed to
meet my ideal of a heroine. They were
either too oerfect and not human en-
ough or too human and lacking in per-
fection. Some time since the thought
occurred to me, we read too many new
books and we re-read too few of the
ord, and with this thought came back
the memory of certain day years ago
paSesd alone in a strange city. Chance
threw into my hands a copy of Van
ity Fair-and 10! the dismal rain with

was filled with interesting peo-
ple-the dreary day was but too short

George, the sweet-faced Amelia, the

and wicked, wicked Rebecca. They
all lived, they all talked-Ask me for a
hero and Major Dobbin shall walk in
forthwith-But Rebecca Sharp-de-
hghtful, wicked, consistent through
every page of the book-In memory
of this day l re-read Vanity Fair-and
yes, it Is She. Rebecca Sharp shall be
my heroine-Her wickedness is always
clothed with cleverness. her selfish
ness sometimes frightened by gener-
osity-but from first to last she lives
She never ceases to be interesting, she
never ceases to scheme for money and
position.
We first meet her in company with
Amelia as thev are leaving the aristo-
cratic school of Miss Pinkerton Here

lily that Of Mr.. Fry was of an old
Quaker stock This marriage re-
moved her to London. and opened be
fore her a wide field of usefulness; but
at the same time exposed her to severe
and perilous temptations. In entering
upon the former and resisting the lat
ter, she exhibited the true strength of
her character Mr.. Fry was a noble
man. He was of kindred spirit with
his wife, and encouraged her Ibenevo-
lent labors. After the death of her ex-
cellent father, Mrs. Fry was deeply ex-
ercised in spirit, and pressed still more
to the 2ublic exercise of her gifts in
the name of the Lord Jesus. With
trembling she took I'D the cross, and
her word was one of power 20 the
hearts of the people; was soon recog-
nized by the Society of Friends as a
minister among them. Mrs. Fry was
one of those rare women who combine
with a natural courtliness great simpli-
city of manner together with a certain
depth of sympathy, that at once at
tracted the people toward her and gave
her unwonted power over them.
Soon she began to cooperate with
her two brothers-in-law in their eff
forts to improve the moral and sani-
tary conditions of the prisons. The
condition of the females in Newgate at
this time was deolorable in the ex-
treme. Ignorant, brutalized, squalid
in dress, ferocious in countenance,
they were herded together like wild
beasts. Their conduct and language
was obscene and revolving to the last
degree. Some of them were yet young
women-the sad appalling wrecks Of
youth and beauty, many of them were
mothers, and. sad to tell, their chill
dren were along with them, breathing
the putrid air and witnessing all these
loathsome and demoralizing scenes.
In many instances the males and fe-
males were crowded together promis-
cuously, without work. in the deepest
destitution and want, and without re-
straint. These prisons were aDtly de-
scribed as "hells upon earth" The
Governor Of Newgate tried to persuade
her from entering this abode of iniqui-
ty and shame, which he himself scarce
ly dared enter. even when attended Ny
an officer as guard. She remained
firm in her purpose, believing it to
be the c2ll of God to fulfill this duty
She was shown into an apartment
which contained about one hundred
and sixty of those unhappy women,
who gazed upon her with amazement
as she entered. by the majesty of heI

wherever she goes. At last she de-
scends to the level of gambling, cos
metios and brandy, when accident
brings her in contact with Amelia,
Dobbin and Joseph Sedley.
She winds the poor old Joseph about
her finger and he can never again es-
cape. If she ever had tender spot
for anyone perhaps it was for Amelia
and she tells her of Georges unfaith- :
fulness, in order that dear. devoted
Major Dobbin may at last have his re-
ward. Mr.. Joseph dies after while and
Rebecca some how has become a wom-
an of property-she lives at Bath and

NO said his wife, who sat by win,
dow looking out into the wet twilight.
Nm cold too,' md she shivered. Some
body is walking over my grave she
said, and half laughed at her own fool
ishness, even while her shoulders shook
So the farmer brought in an armful
ofdry wood; pine for kindlings and rock
maple for body stock, and laid fire in
the brick fireplace in the sitting room,
and lighted it. Up to which drew his
wife, the tinker. the hired man and
woman, and neighbor who had drop
ped in for an hour.
Last of all came the famsly cat, big
brown tiger cat, who twisted his sup
pie body between the chairs, stretched
himself before the blaze aud lay down
upon rug.
"A cat and Whitsun night. said the
Norwegian by and by, when all had
been still for time, each thinking his
or her own thoughts.
Nm my country he went on, There is
a story Of cats and Whitsun night
What was it, tinker the hired wom-
an asked.
But the tinker looked into the fire
and said nothing until the farmer said.
What was the story, Nils. Tell it to
u.s.
Then the travelling man began: ut
is told in my country. in Norway, that
once there was wealthy miller whose
mill had twice been burned down on
Whitsun night. To him there came the
next Whitsun, the mill having been re-
built during the year, a travelling tailor,
offering to keep watch.
The tailor chalked a circle on the
floor, wrote the Lords Prayer around
it, and then standing inside the circle,
waited.
Just when the clock struck midnight
a troop Of cats rushed in and hung a
great kettle of pitch over the fire place.
Again and again they tried to overturn
the pitch into the fire but every time
the tailor frightened them away.
And when tle leader of the troop
stealthly tried to draw the tailor out Of
his magic circle, he cut off her paw with
his sharp knife.
Then they all few bowling out into
the night, and the next morning the
miller saw with joy that his mill was
standing whole and unframed.
But the miller's wife was covering
under the bed clothes, and when the
tailor went to see her, she held out to
him her left hand, for HIM to shake and
tried to hide as best che could her right
arms bleeding stump
What horrid story; I wish hadn't
asked you to tell it, said the hired wom-
an, when the tinker had finished.
The farmer said nothing for little
time and when he did speak it was to
ask his neighbor if his spring crops were
likely to suffer from the wet
But the farmers wife, when the half
circle of chairs was pushed back an hour
later and the tinker had said goodnight,
still kept her right hand hidden beneath
her apron.
