From ts crude beginnings when first launch sd on the uncertain sea of stage pop 1Iarity, saThe Old Homestead" has been developed year after year, until E now it sails proudly and triumphantly In the snug fiarbor of perennial favor. Now, however, as in it's earliest career, 1t depends fof that popularity most of all upon the fact that it so truthfuily nlods the mirror up to nature, and in SO doing presents a series of faithful character sketches typifying d1verg- knt phases of city and country life.
