WANDERERS IN THE ICY NORTH. BY AI.MO. Lone wanderers of that unknown sea, That marks the Northern pole, Each icy wind that wanders fr^e, Your solemn knell doth toll; I see the glacier’s towering hight, The chasm wide and deep. And polar snows forever white Their ceaseless circles sweep. Lone wanderers of that unknown sea, Ah! who shall tell the tale, How hopelessness and misery Have caused the cheek to pale ? Shut out from hope of human aid By walls of glittering ice, Ye watched the daylight dawn and fade Within those Northern skies. The reddening North-light sheds its glare O’er wastes of circling snows, And spreads its fiery pinions where Day’s golden beams repose. But from those realms the North wind’s breath Brings no responsive tone, And only the deep hush of death Dwells in the frozen zone. The only paeans to your fame Shall be the North wind’s sigh ; Your monuments the icy vane That pierces to the sky. Rest till the sens give up their dead And earth shall be no more, Then shall ye meet again o’erhead Life’s fitful fever o’er. Tuftonborough, N. H. OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY. ENGRAVINGS AND BIOGRAPHIES OF DISTINGUISHED MEN AND WOMEN. EOWIN BOOTH. We give an excellent likeness this week of Edwin Booth, who is now the most distinguished tragedian in America, and who has recently been brought more prominently before the public by the recent attempt of a crazy man in Chicago to assassinate him on the stage. But though an actor of unusual dignity and rare accomplishments, we have never l* *en able to accord to Mr. Booth such transcendent genius as bis more enthusiastic admirers claim for him. We have failed to discern in his actings that magnetic stage power which is so essential in the dramatic make-up of a great actor. His name alone, we have often thought, was a great help to him. His father, the world-renowned tragedian, and his brother, the world-renowned assassin, have made the Booth name famous for all time. It is unnecessary to give any biographical sketch, as all are familiar with the leading incidents in the family history. The recent attempt upon the life of Mr. Edwin Booth has added a fresh interest to the name, and we give our readers a good portrait of him. He has written a private letter from Chi cago to a friend in Richmond, Va., in which he says: “Your very kind and welcome letter of con gratulation reached me in due time, but the nervous shock [referring to the shooting] has been so severe to both Mrs. Booth and myself that we have been unable to do much more than play nurse to each other since the event. The poor fool that commit ted the outrage is in safe keeping, and I hope he will be confined in an asylum for the rest of his life. He is a dangerous lunatic—nothing more.” OTHELLO AND DESDEMONA. A New Version. (Cincinnati .'inquirer.) “AnothW interestin’ character in bUakstare,” re marked Grandfather Linckshingle, “is Othello, the Moor of Vinice, an’ perhaps I can spare the time to tell you a little somethin’ about him. ” One of the family said they were dying to hear about “Othello,” but thought it would be nothing more than fair to postpone the recital until the next family reunion which would occur in about ten or fifteen years. Grandfather said he would repeal it then by request, and started in: “ ‘Othello’ was a colored coachman who eloped with ‘Desdemonia,’ his employer’s youngest daugh ter, beautiful, gifted an’ accomplished, an’ the ac knowledged belle of the towu. They fled to Jersey City, where they were married with great Pomp and Circumstance. 1 can’t say positively, but I think great Pomp was a big niggar, also a coach man, an’a friend to ‘Othello, who had perhaps ru* away with his employer’s daughter. Any liow they were all married together. ‘Othello’ and ‘Desdemonia’ lived happily together until they made the acquaintance of ‘Iago,’ a scheming villian of an undertaker who was always maneuvenn around to get somebody killed and get a job. ‘Iago concocted and poured into 'Othello’s’ ear the wicked lie that ‘Desdemonia’ had grown tired of him an^ was carryin’ on a desperate flirtation with ‘Cassio, a book agent.” , “What kind of flirtation !” demanded ‘Othello, growing white about the gills. “Well, I suppose you would call it a handkerchief flirtation,’ replied ‘Iago,’ ‘as a delicately wrought handkerchief, which thou didst purchase and give unto ‘Desdemonia,’ is now in the possession of Cas- “My first gift to the wench,’ exclaimed ‘Othello,’ strugglin’ to catch his breath, ‘an’ doth he blow his Plebeian nose upon it r “No good, my Lord, he doth use it to knock the dust offen his boots.’ , “It is here that ‘Othello’ speaks the famous lmes: “ ‘Then, by my soul she dies ! Arise black vengeance from thy Hollow cell, an’numph thyself e’en now ! Oh ! blood, Iago, a bucket full of blood ! “To this the deceitful ‘Iago’ suggested'that it would be well to go slow, and perhaps ‘Othello would change his mind. The jealous Moor made reply: “Never, Iago. Like to the Pontic sea, Whose icy current an’ impulsive course Ne’er feeis returning ebb, but keeps due on To the Propontie an’ the Hellspont, Or a politician hot on the scent of an office, E’en so my bloody thoughts, with violent pace. Shall ne’er look back until I sweep To my revenge-e-e!’ “And going right up to ‘Desdemonia’s’ room he hammered her over the head with a boot-jack until she was quite dead. He then threw the body into the well, remarkin’ that he would teach her to give away a handkerchief that cost him good money earned bv hard licks as coachman for her father, who paid the smallest salary and set the poorest table of any man in town.” After wiping the tears from his eyes, grandfather concluded: “The moral is that there is nothin’ gained by be in’ an onery cuss, as we see in the case of ‘lego,’ the schemin’ undertaker. Although he succeeded in creatin’ a death in the family, the body was thrown into the well, an’ he, therefore, got no or der fori'a funeral. While virtue was not exactly re warded. vice received a terrible rebuke.” The friends and relatives of Mr. John T. Cox, were startled with the intelligence that he was struck by lightning and instantly killed, last Thursday, while on his farm near Albany, Ga. Mr; Cox only left our neighborhood last winter, and had been in Southwestern Georgia but a few months. He was widely known throughout the State, and even in many other States, as one of the most popular Railroad Conductors, a few years ago, and after that as a member of the firm of Pollard, Cox & Lo. He was farming at the time of his death and had been for the last four or five years.

Immediately before making or using any such a synopsis, one ought to read the play and have it fresh in the mind, in order that the naming of the scenes may be signifleent instantly. The merchant of Venice will hardly grow dull under a hundred successive readings, if the readings be careful. For it is as the stars that shine brighter after long gaz ing. Studying the play by some such method of analysis as this, as dull as it may seem at first, will surely reveal the true greatness of Shakspere’s work. Clusters of the most prominent pictures are thus brought to view. Only the most prominent pictures, however, are seen in this way. The fill- mgs out and the delicate shadings cannot be tabu lated. nor paraphrased nor epitomized. Every speech presents some deii *ate touch that fades away with any attempt to tell of it, and the effort brings to the mind of the most powerful critic the wide world of power between himself and the inspired master. In the first scene, the deep friendship between Antonio and Basanio is shown. In the second we have a pictvre of Portia; and in these few lines we gain the knowledge of as much of a versatile and brilliant woman’s character as most men are able to find out for themselves by a life-time’s observa tion and study. In the third scene, in hold contrast with the friendly picture of the first, we see the deadly hatred of Shylock for the Christian Antonio, and the contempt of Antonio for Shylock. Thus the first act introduces us to the three main charac ters of the play, and gives the whole situation. The plot remains now to be developed. Already, too, we have come to know Gratiano thoroughly, who is the fool of the comedy. He is a sort of parady on Bassanio, as Nerissa is on Portia. It is noticea ble that the scene giving us an introduction to Por- tio, (sc. 2) comes between the scenes given to An tonia and Bassanio (sc. 1&3.) Thus the story of the caskets alternates with the story of the bond, and no possible monotony can occur. In act 11. the characters of Shylock and Portia are given us in full; and how skillfully ! The first scene gives the particulars about the caskets. Then the next five give us indirectly a minute descrip tion of Shylock—his character and his habits of life. No other man ever worked so skilfully by in directness as Shakspere. We are not wearied with a dry account of Shylock’s domestic life from a point of view whence Shylock himself appears with direct prominence. But the center of attraction is first, the servant-jester, Launcelot; and then the lonely little Jessica and her boy lover. While by means of these we are gaining the very clearest in sight into the character of the old Jew, behold, we are imagining all the while that we are entertained with Launcelot, Lorenzo and Jessica for their own sakes ! And for their own sakes they are sure- enough well worthy to entertain us. But, for all that, the real work they do in the development of the play is to fill up the outline of the drawing of the Jew’s character. But this ‘lyrical’ episode of Lorenzo and Jessica, as Mr. Dowden calls it, gives a good subject of study in contrast with the more serious couple, Bassanio and Portia. See here, too, the alteration: the two princely suitors are not made to draw in two successive scenes (sc. ^&g). Through the whole second act, Antonio does not oc cur except incidentaly in the sixth scene; and there he is engaged, as usual, in doing a service for his friend. In act III, since we now know fully the main actors in the play, the fuller development of the nlot is given: the exasperated cruelty of Shylock, the maririage of Bassanio and Portia, (of Portia and BassaDio, I should rather say, for Portia is of lesser importance nowhere, not even m marrying), the imprisonment of Antonio, Portia’s bold strate- «sm for his acquittal. The last scene of the act is merely episodic—the chat of the boy-and-girl lovers as the temporary proprietors of Belmont. The crisis comes in act IV.—The solemn court- scene Antonio's acquittal and the giving away of the wedding rings. The trick of the rings keeps the interest up alter the trial is over. Then the beautiful and musical act V the recon ciliation of the two lawyer-wives with their hus bands, the pleasant news of Antonio s ships, the money of old Shylock given to his Christian son-in law, and the whole company happy, all with the moonlight at Belmont and Portica‘s music. Three happy couples i How lonely poor Antonio must OFF-HAND TALKS. By Sljm Jim.r N° 3. i Advice to Young wfo. Get married. Stick a boquet in your buttonhole, part your hair in the middle, cram your number nine bands into a pair of number seven white kids, and get married. There’s nothing like it. Why, where would you be now, you idiot, if your father had lived an old bachelor all his days ? Will you hang back, and let your children be or phans, because you refuse to become a parent ? Don’t waste your time serenading your girl, and getting chased out of the yard by the faithful watch-dog, but go to her and say : “ Amelia, my darling, I am the recipient of eight dollars per week, and abundantly able to support a wife. Wilt thou be miue i” And if she looks at the matter in the same light that you do, she will hang her ear on the point of your piccadilly, and say : “Orlando, I wilt.” Of course she wilt. But there is a possibility that you will be the first to wilt after the marriage. No matter; bristle up, take unto yourself a wife, and have some style about you. A man never knows what domestic bliss is till he has been kicked out of bed once or twice by an en ergetic wife, who takes an honest pride in letting him know that she is proprietor of that particular portion of the globe. Almost everybody gets married, and it is a good joke. But the joke soon wears out. Some marry in haste, and then sit down and think it carefully over. Some think it carefully over first, and then sit down and marry. Both ways are right, if you hit the mark. If you are addicted to feelings of loneliness, mar riage will cure you of that. If you are of an independent spirit, and accus tomed to have your own way, marriage will cure you of that, also. Perhaps you will find it hard at first to realize that you are actually a married man. But the first time you stay out till midnight, the reality of the thing will be forced upon you so ah- ruptly that you will feel as if you had been knocked down with a footstool. And maybe you have—I don’t know. Women are economical beings, and will make your money go farther than you can. They will make it go so far, in fact, that none of it will ever find its way back. A wife’s instinct of economy enables her to buy her husband a whole suit of clothes for fifteen dol lars, and herself a sacque for thirty. Perhaps you have been in the habit of paying from seventy-five cents to a dollar and a half for a single undershirt. Your wife will buy you one for twenty-five cents. To be sure, the twenty-five cent shirt, when washed, looks like a set of fiddle strings; but it shouldn’t be washed. You don’t want to be too clean. Thus you will see that you cannot possibly get along without a wife. The sooner you get one, the sooner you will be ad mitted to the paradise of conjugal felicity, and learn how to hold a squalliing baby, while your wife hangs over the back fence and tells Mrs. Smith what a handy husband she’s got. When your clothes get ragged, your wife will re pair them—maybe—if her time is not too much taken up with other things. Even if she doesn’t, you have the consolation of pins. Before you were married you never could find a pin when you wanted it; now they are every where —all over the dressing-table, in the hash, on the floor, and sometimes you make the painful discov ery that they are even on the chairs. A pin is an insignificant affair in itself, but when you sit down on its point you feel as if a telegraph pole had penetrated your existence. Married men make the best soldiers. Not because they are the best fighters, perhaps, but because they can do a better job of retreating. They learn to dodge flying missiles with great nicety, and practice this sport so much at home that they can get out cf the way of anything, from a gridiron to a bombshell. Napoleon Bonaparte was a married man, and I have no doubt he would dive under the bed as quick as any other man, wheii his wife gritted her teeth and made a grab for an argument that could be thrown clear across the room. Young man, get married. Don’t hesitate. Winter is coming on, and you will need some one to get up in the morning and make the fires, while you take your morning nap. A wife is what you want. She will make herself useful in a variety of ways —.sweeping, scrubbing, and keeping the house in order—and will unnoubtedly be as happy as you are miserable. But then there’s one thing woman does That makes man mighty mad : She leaves enough hair in the comb To fill a saddle-pad. Movements in Southern Society. Dr. H. J.
