Wishing.

So very cheap as wishing"
A very choice diversion, too,
If we but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it, and abuse it.
wish-a common wish, indeed
My purse were somewhat fatter,
That l might cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to flatter;
That l might make oppression reel,
AS only gold can make it,
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
As only gold can break it.
l wish that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
That had it's origin above
Would come and keep in fashion;
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of ocean.
| wish that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
| wish the good were not so few,
| wish the bad were fewer;
| wish that persons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching;
wish that practicing were not
So different from preaching!
wish that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
wish that innocence were free
From treachery and SANDER;
| wish that men their VOWS would
mind;
That women ne'er were rOvers;
wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers!
| wish--in fine-hat joy and mirth,
And every good ideal,
May come erewhile throughout the
earth,
To be the glorious real;
Till GOO shall every creature bless
With his supremest blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing in possessing!

In Mrs. Madge Carr Cook, with
whom a contract has been made for
next season. Messrs Liebler & Co.,
of New York, believe they have
found the ideal Mrs. Wigs for their
forthcoming production of Mrs. Con-
stance Flexner's dramatization of
Mrs. Alice Hogan Rice's captivating
story of MRS. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" and, in fact, it was the rec
ognitiOn of this supreme fitness
which was chiefly instrumental in
persuading Mr.. Tyler to contract for
the dramatization. Mrs. Cook, who
has been with Miss Amelia Bingham
for the past three seasons, has scored
csuccess after success in line of
characters of which Mrs. Wigs is
fair type, and if she does not add
to her well earned fame in this role
it will surprise all who know her and
are familiar with her capabilities. In
Mrs. FleXners dramatization the
characters in Mrs. Rice's other de
lightful story, 'Lovey Mary" have
been embodied, and Miss Mabel Ia
liaferro will impersonate this second
important role, "Lovey Mary" q
character. in book and play, second
only to that of Mrs. Wigs herself
The support and production, it car
be readily understood. will be thor
oughly adequate, and there are good
grounds for the belief that Mrs
Wigs" will be one of the notable
plays of the coming season. The ini
tial presentation will be in Louisville
KY, where THE Cabbage Patch" is
located, and where both Mrs. Rice
and Mrs. Flexner reside. Naturally
Mrs. Rice is lending her personal aid
to Mrs. FleXner's work, and such
portions of the play as have already
been received leave little to be de
sired. 1t will prove comedy, it is
hoped, that will be regarded as Who'll
ly delightful.
