THE GHOST OF HAMLET
A Pleasing Musical Comedy credltabIy
Presented BY Local Talent.

A large audience at the opera
house last night gave the approval
of hearty applause and manifestly
genuine enjoyment to the produo-
ton Of that pleasing little musical
comedy or operetta, THE Ghost OF
Hamlet" presented by local tai
ent. The play is a cleverly ar
ranged burlesque on two of Shakes
peare's tragedies, Romeo and
Juliet" and Hamlet" With a
part Of the original text Of the two
plays is blended in a most unex-
pected way bits of humor, popular
present day expressions and local
hits, these boldly interpolating
even Hamlet's solilloquy.
The first act presents the balco-
ny scene from Romeo and Juliet,
and Mr.. Sam McConnico and Miss
Jessie Garth were cast for the title
roles and sustained them most
creditably. Miss Garth in the
balcony was a vision of loneliness,
and Mr.. McConnico's fine, clear
voice was brought out all the ex-
quisite sentiment in his solo,
Goodnight, Beloved Goodnight.
The second and third acts intro
duced the garden of Kronberg cas-
tie and the graveyard Of Elsinore

three leading roles were assigned to |
Mr.. o. +. Saunders as "the mel

Minfcr Decorations.

1t is an easy matter for the home florist
to have attractive bits OF green in her
rooms during the winter season at little
expense and trouble by the exercise of a
moderate amount of ingenuity.
For instance, by taking a good-sized
carrot Or sweet potato, removing portion
OF the inside, and leaving a wall about an
inch thick, filling the cavity with water
and suspending the vegetable with cords,
upturning sprays of green will sprout
from the bottom and cover the sides
within short period. These can be made
more attractive by placing any convenient
blossoms in the natural basket, the whole
forming floral decoration that is very
unique and pretty.
Something equally pretty can be made
by suspending an acorn by thread
within half an inch of the water in hya-
cinth glass. The acorn will open within a
few months, throwing out a root and
shooting upward with Straight and taper
ing stems, on which green leaves will
shortly appear.
These decorations need not necessarily
be confined to acorns, carrots and sweet
pots toes. Experiments OF this kind with
other vegetables will produce results quite
as satisfactory.

ficient in the several Classes should have
their said deficient sums added to the tax
granted at this meeting, ano those Persons
who have oyerdone their said Proportions

AT an adjourned meeting held Septem-
Der 6, 1872, it was 'Voted, Covings of the
meeting house to have what is called a
double Cornish only the weather boards

frames to be made of thicl; boards with a

There is nothing in the record to show

Cheerfulness of Great Men.

Cheerfulness is an excellent wearing
quality. 1t has been called the bright
weather of the heart. 1t gives harmony
of soul, and is a perpetual song without
words. Ii is tantamount to repvse. 1t
enables nature to recruit its strength;
whereas worry and discomfort debilitate
it, involving constant wear and tear.
How is it, asks the Washington Star,
that we see such men as Lord Palmerston
growing old in harness, working on Wig
orously to the end? Mainly through
equanimity of temper and habitual cheer
fulness. They have educated themselves
in the habit of endurance, Of not being
easily provoked, OF bearing and forebear-
ing, of hearing harsh and even unjust
things said Of them without INDUCING in
due resentment, and avoiding worrying,
petty and self-tormenting cares.
An intimate friend of Lord Palmerston,
who observed him closely fer twenty
years, has said that he never saw him
angry, with perhaps one exception, and
that was when the ministry responsible
for the calamity in Afghanistsn, of which
he was one, was unjustly accused by their
opponents of falsehood, perjury and will
full mutilation Of public documents. So
far as can be learned from biography, men
of the greatest genius have been for the
most part cheerful, contented men not
eager for reputation, money or power
but relishing life, and keenly susceptible
of enjoyment, as we find reflected in their
works.
Such seem to have been Homer, Horace,
Virgil, Montague, Shakespeare and Ger
vantes. Healthy, serene cheerfulness is
apparent in their great creations. Among
the same class of cheerful minded men
may also be mentioned Luther, Moore,
Bacon, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and
Michael Angelo. Perhaps they were
happy because constantly occupied, and
in the pleasantest of all work-that of
creating out of the fullness and richness
of their great minds.

use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and

Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
