There are few actresses on the stage

best instances of the support being the

Of Mr.. Douglas, and the Ramsay OF

as Obermuller, though that character
loses heavily by being transplanted

Bubbles.

Wide and deep is the river of life.
Are the lives of IL mighty multitude
Lost in the ebb and flow.
Only a bubble; some for an hour;
Others drift on for Il day;
While ever the thronging host behind
There's one bright track where thu
waters shine,
And the Slittering bubbles float on
In harmony. love and joyous sway,
And life GIBBS out with a song
But look beyond. at the whirlpool there :
Where the waters Shrek and moan,
Inc countless millions, struggling
On the crest of the snow white foam
On! many are lost in the giddy whirl,
For, the yellow gold shines there,
And the swaying throng, as they madiy
clutch
The strongest win, as the weak grow
And are lost without a sigh;
Only n bubble! and what of that?
1T might have been you or /.
But the time will come when you, too,
And tell me then of the cost;
The hearts YOU have trampled beneath
The .asspai.:inig souls which were lost
Wihc and deep is the river of life
And the bubbles that come and go
Are the lives of mighty multitude
Lost in the ebb and flow.

But if this act was horrid, what
