filled the wuditorium of the school

best Sudies we have ever seen on
the stage. And last, but not
legat among these talents, is our
friend, the guthor of the play,
Sam A. Fackler, who appeared
upon the scene as Silas. Sam is
a natural born actor, and when
it comes to minstrel sketches,
Sam is there with the goods.
The play is written by Editor
Fackler, and does great credit
to him, and was highly entertain
ing.
The play presented a great
many sad fegtures, which are
true lessons of life, and inter
spersed along with jokes.comedy
etc., made a great deal of fun ; in
truth, Silas before the audience,
kept up laughter during the
whole evening. We have heard
a number of compliments passed
upon this performance, which be
speaks for it a fine sdecess, and
we hope very much that we may
have the pleasure of having this
play repeated in the near future.
The writer does not attempt to
do the play justice in this short
sketch, but it gives us. pleasure
to speak in these terms, “and we
have heard rumbers speak so
complimentary of it, and it is the
hope ot the writer that each and
every one of the performers will
see it to their interest, and to the
interest of the town, to give us
this play again in the near future.

— Bhe Knew Qh& Pax- Well,
A poor little faded woman had djen
brought into court as witnoss in i Juge
involving very important izsues. 'A\;
entire case depended on the fact that
a paper had been signed on a ceetiin
gay, anc this the forlorn litile wonag
was prepared to prove.
“yYou saw the paper signed? asked
the opposing counsel in cross exawmina
tion. .
“Yes, #ir.” '
“And you take your:oath that it was
the 13th of August?* ¢
“1 know it was, slr.”
The lawyer, who thougit another
date could be proved, assil}.med an ex
asperating smile and repeated her
words. ‘
“You know it was? Ang now be so

The poor little creature looked from
one countenance to another with wide,
sorrowful eyes, as it she sought under
standing and sympathy; then her gaze
rested on the kindly face of the judge.
“I know,” she said, as if speaking to
him alone, “because that was the day
my baby died.”—Pearson’'s Wegkly.
Opportunity. !
In one ¢f the old Greek cities there
gtood long ago a stytue. Every trace
of it has vanished now, but there is
still in existence an epigram which
gives us an excellent description of it,
and as we read the words wa ¢can sure
ly discover the Jesson whick those wise
old Greeks magnt that thg statne
should teach to every passerby. The
opigram 1s in the form of a conversa
tion between a traveler and the statue:
“What is thy name, O statue?’
“I am called Opportunity.”
“Who made thee?’ -
“Lysippus.” ®r
“Why art thou on thy toes?”
“To show that I stay but a moment.”
“Why hast thou wings on thy feet?”
7o show how quickly I pass by.”
“But why is thy bair so long on thy
forehead?”’
“That men may seize me when they
meet me.”
“Why, then, 18 thy bead so bald be
hind ?"
‘To show that when I have once
passed I cannot be caught.”
Dropping the Curtain.
“No, Mr. Slowun,” said the fair pos
gessor of the square chin, I must re
spectfully decline to become your othi
er half.”
“But, why?” asked the astonished
young man, who bad believed that he
was the favored one.
“Because,” replied the female gx
tender of the frosty digit, *thd man 1
marry must be brave and feabless.
Tonight you let out the information
that you bave loved me for five long,
weary years, but have not dared men
tiom it until the present meeting. A
man who has no more nerve than thht
would: Hide under the bed while his
wife went downstairs to interview a
burglar who was making a raid on the
family larder. Therefore, Mr. Slowun,
I will work the piano for a little slow
music while the curtain'drops on the
farewell scene. You will ind your hat
