The eecond act, entitled “The Boetfcher Fam-' ily, or the Anduction,” commences with the ar- rival of the Boctlcher family from Germauy. It corsists of the mother, Johanna Boelicher, son, _Anton Boelicher, daughter, Maria Boelicher, and the daughters’ lover, Carl Assman, a young artist. The mother looks very eick, and can hardly bold herself up. She tells her family that she had formerly lived in Chicago, buv this could not be the same city, a3 everything was g0 ch ehianeed. Sho fol that shio wonld not lise long, and therefore she would impart to them A BECEET. In this clty, she'says, she had been born, and, mauny years' ugo, b was married to Ludwig Boettckier, wiro <is o devoted husbsnd, and thoy lived very happily together until Father Anfonio entered thcir-family. The priest succeeded in making ber huzband s blind tool of the Church. He sinally got sick, and the pricst never Jeft his bedside. Ono day she was sent for, sud when ahe como into the room ber husband ¥as d¥ing. He cast o last loving glanco at her, and then looked longingly upon focked tin-box, but diad without beiog eblo to speak. After his doath the Jesuits prasented a will, in which he lad bequeathed -his entire fortune to them, leaving nothiag to his”wifa and ‘¢hildren, réducing them 1o ebject ‘poverty. Sho want to Germany, and the tin-box she took zlong as the only memento of her departed husbaad. After forty-five years she opeued the boz, 2nd in it found TEE REAL WILD - of her husband, in which_his entire fortune was bequeatbed to heraud her children, the will which the Jesuits produced heving baou a for- gery. If thero-existed n just God, they were The possesdor of millions of morey. Now if they would swear that the moneywould "hever bb ai- Jowed to go into strange hands, she would die hsppy ond coutented. : - The children swear, ond. just as they conclude their outh, in comes Falier Josephus, who greets them with somo sanctifiod phrascs, assur- ing them of the lova of Jesus Christ, and that Lo bad come in the namo of the Courch to give blessings. and todo good. Afrs. Boclicher to- fused to let him come near her, eayiug thst she could die just as happy without the md of the Church. e At -this moment. the -cry of fire- profusion of red light fails on the stage’: peo- plo run hither and thither, aud Licks, the saloon-keeper, rans fhrough 'the house with s big hose, looking for his Lisi. Daring the con- fusion the Jesmt telis JMrs. Boeticher to give him tho docament, or he wouid take it forcibly. Bho recognizes in him Father Antonio, sud crios for help, but she is not hourd, sll being off to the fire. The pricst then wrangles with the sick lady. antil she dies, and he flies without having secared the document. When the family come back, and find their mother dead, they go into great lamentations, aud the curtain falls. THE MUCKERS. The third act, ** A Mucker’ Meeting,” opens FIRT. i s, and B “with & scena’in ' convent, the monks sitting arotind a talile on which there ars several light- ed wax candles. Faler Josephus folds his Lauds and sines Gloria w excelsis Deo, and the monks drowsily ging ** Amen.” A speech isthen made by Father Josephus, in which he soya that the Church must win back Leretio America. The Lord would forgive them for the many dak poths they bad to travel, for it was all for the glnry ol the Church. * Amen,” shout the monks. “ather Josephus.then tellsthomof the Boeticher affair, end how they must got possession. of - the real 'will evén it the: whole ' famil should perish. * [*Amen™ by. tho monks., Ho . goes, _on to ' tell .. them. .of a French 1ndy who'had recently arrived with a Iarge fortune, which by right belonged to the Charch, and of which titey must get possession. The moaks are chea blesead by Father Jos and they leave, one by one, chanting Lal bymaos. ! THE LOVEES. Aftor they re gone, salcon-keeper Zicks, who bad been hiding behind the door, comes in, dressed 83 & monk, remarking, * What a st of scoundrels! and Father Josephus the worst of them,” Ho gays that hacame Liere in that garb, because ho belioves bis Lisi is with Father Josephus, Lisi comes i, dressed as & nun, singing, **Ave Maria victorin, reginn virgin domino,” Licks; who did not' recognize hor, says he docs not care for Victoria Regins, of Yirginia ; all he wanted was his Lisi. She requesta Licks, whom sho supposes to be a real monk, to bless hor ; aud he complies with her request, blessing Ler as follows : i % 0 haldes ‘Weibelein, # Auf gradem Wegejein, Watdle mit deimen-Beinelein, Dann beirath du ein Xxcuelein, . . Leeruta, Larum, Loeffeleiu, She then rises and replies that elio would ever remember hus kind prayer, and, looking straight in his face, BOE RECOGNIZLS ML *Where did ycu get that gown ?

Ho tolls her that bo lost ell he haa iu the firo, and his boarders had all ran away, and he come to find out why sho slso has tled. *‘De- cause I knew you were » ruined man,” was her reply, *and therefore I concluded it would bo better to become the brido of Heaven than youra.” At this declaration he begins to Jement &nd bewail bis iil-luck and misfortune,, and do- clares that he would bring fortawifh a suit ageinst her for breach of promise, aud, if the Judge was not a regular jackass, he would get aticast $10,000 dameges. He again implores her to come back to him, but she lesves without Listening to his entreatics. After having made eome stale;jokes sbout bis paper-muslin’ gown, bo also leaves the room. : KILL ME QUICK. Father Josephus énters with Maria Boeficher. Bhe tells Lim :if he meant to kill Ler to do it quickly..Sho was mck of ber lifo, and did nop aesire to live any longer. Sho scolds him, and cells him a church robber and & hypocrite. - His religion was hy- pocrigy and their holy mission was bat a shoam ; they would commit murderif nccessary to ob- tain their object. Father Josephus implores hr to' forgive him, bo also had a Leart, and loves her decply. 40 God! how unhappy I am,” she cries. “ You do not know what unheppidiess i3, my dear ™ ho replies. “ Unhappinesa s tobo & priest and love 2 lovely girl.” . “Scoundrel, I hate you; do mot approach me,” sbo retorts.

Ho begs her to rclease him, end &hio complies with hia request by knoclting in tho door wiik a chair. He comes out of 1t black, and thaoks her for releasing him.

Ho hsd becen to Dr. Pfusher, who had boea. s larbor in Germnny, ana the son of Allculaping treated him for cholers. But ho would not cars for all that, if he only could eeo his Lisi again. He hears steps, aud Lides under the table. Cecilia de la Croiz and the young artist Carl Assman enter, and sho tells him that she seat for him because tho wauted to have her picture taken. She wants Lim to sit besido her on tha sofa, and look at heralbnm, He complics, and, while opening the album, be observes thac sho was tiying to hido it from bim, but ho finally succeeds in persaading her to lot him look at it, and ho is surpriced to find bis own picture.

She used to have the finest character in Cbicago, but lost it in the fire. Judge Banyon now enters and pompously takes his seat. The first caxo called is Bridjet ' Connoliy, drunk and disorderly. She gets up toplead her own case, commencing by sayinz, “Bupposing I was drunk, yer Honor: it is nous of yer damued business, yer Honor.” Bhe then goes on to kny that ehie was not drunk, Lut thay sho bad & complaint to make szaiust & dirty lit- tle Dutchman who had prowised to marry her and now refused.

Bhe thore- foro gives him &_thorough thrashing, and goss for tho Judge, lawyer, reporter, policemen, and overybody elso in tha room, and it is useless to 2dd that sho came oug victorious. (This scene was immensely eajoged Dby the audience.) : Order being lfiain restored, the case of Licks for murder is ealled.

In Jooking over tho life of a city, as it appears in its inhebitants, ono is ctruck with wonder 8% the number of persons who scem to have no oc- cupation, or s6 little as to urge involuntarily upon the mind the question, *How does ho live?” Manyof .them seom to be contented; they talk in a jovial way; they eeem to'have no caro ou their minda; they alwags have leisare to look a4 & dog-fight, or to take 3 driuk,—at some ono else’s expenso. In fect, fo somo they ap- pear ag the mogt light-hearted and successful of peoplo, living in’the world without ' soming into contact with its sharp cdges, and sbrugging their ghonlders at misfortune, which seems to have no torrors for them. Theso persons are vagabonds in a more or less successful or forlorn condition. Thére f3a cer- tain charm nbout vagabondage’ which sometime or other fn s man's 1ife &ppeara in such allwing , ; gulsossto givohim o hsd elrugglo fo over- como it. Tt would boa mistake to think tnat thia discase, for it can Ecarcely bo called anyihing else, attacks only tho young man. On tho con- trary, many men have lived to thelr fortieth or fiftioth years 2s staid and industrious citizens, and then have fallen into shiftless woys. ftis not unfrequently the result of a sudden misfor- tune; or the blight of some life-long droam. Others will come to it f:om afliction, and still mors from wealth—though this Jetter class aro shielded from the nime yot bave all the charac- teristic traits of the vagabond, Dut probably the ega 2t which s person often- est drifts intd the mod6 of Life which is properly detcribed under this titlo is during his vonth, ‘Chere is an inflnite varioty of - cironmstavcoes of condution, training, ond .surrounding influence that go far towards determining the young man tothis careor, but asa goneral ralo it will be obeerved that his form of characer is that which predisposes him to adventure nnd variety, and ig ot curbed by wise parental authority. This s a gpirit which is greatly fostered in the Americgi race, and espezially in our citics, by !r).\o exciting events that are always on the sur- ace. 5 Ho starts out probably with some innocent ad- venture which brinzsauew joy to bim, or he reads 2 novel of the Dick Turpin kind, wiich in- flames Ins mind with o desire to dist:ugnisn him- gelf, and ther follows neglect of humdrum and wearisome dutres, a growing vanityin bis strength or skill, a leaning toward aseaciates of the Stable and the Btreat, the Sporting or Theatrical circles, diztingnishied members of which fraternity bo- como “bis heroes; Ho roon comos to have s ecornfnl contempt for resectsblo people and respectable - otcupations, devotes much time to sporting mattess, begins to depend upon his wita for 8 living, as tho necessity of getting a living enforces” itself, and gradually becomes more and mora ehiftlefs and demoralized until settled labor of any kind becomes an impossi- bility, and a golden dream of some troke of gocd Inclk spréada itzclf always before his im- agination as & possible relicf Irom his pecuniary embarrassments, and the acme of his ardent as- piration for wealth aud display. “I'ie result of the neglect of a prenaratory basis of character i8 that, 85 Le grows old, he is driven huiher apd (Lither by every chance occu- Emm becomes dirsoluto from desgair at what o {eyms big, “ bard Iycl”, tod finally betomes & cotftirmed” Yaga{Foil with & only a eort of etultificd intétlect wliich complaing at eversthing but sets notlhung to rights, whils his personal Labits fall to the lowesc level of sensaality, and he floats around from pillar to post, 2 mere hulk of bumanity, whisky logged, debanched, and nseless-to hmeelf; #nd a curse ltju his relatives and tho community in which ha ives, . P Beforo coming to this state, however, the great claes of vugabonds break 1:to s myniad of forms and idosyucracies, pursuing for the time Leing some wethod of lazy oecupation, that most easily harmonizes with their preconceived theo- ries, orinto which they natarally drop.. As scen 1 this condition they are sometimes fctitiously brilliant, sometimes gloomuly depraved. A sketch of & fow of the shapes assumed Ly the downward tending character und the confirmed victim of ‘wrong ideas, or ivherent laziness, may bs apro- pos. ) - Among them'wo find THE FAST YOUNG AN, The young man about town is generally a gemblér or sharp, His wits aro as keen ot mukivg the mast out of an opportunity as_ they are subtle at eluding the law. Hix occupation is multifarious. Tho various ways of betting offer Ium a thousnnd chances for gain. Ho deals in patents sometimes, acd sells out to some farmer or greeny st a big profit: Very froquently, when Lo gets money eucuzh thgether, he will start a cigar-store or sample-room, ruuning it by proxy, having a showy gizl to deal out the Havanas, or » pattner to-dispenso the liquids, whil o o does the outside work of roping in tha customers. In appearance he ia.well dressed, as ho has early learned that good clothes go far towards eatabhishing reep2¢t and croating opportunitied, In manner he is gas 2nd taking. Hé knowsa scoro or two of choico slang phrases that pass for very good wit. He is iways perfectly seli-possessed, and shines 1n any society but that of ladies nay gentlemen. As o consequence, although be is frequently well connected and the doors of polite eociety are open to him, b avoids going in, buf prefers the adventare zod life of the gay world wvitbout, He is au admirer of tho fair sex from his seat in the theatre, and dizcusses their “points™ with much relish vhile leaning against the bar at Chapin & Gore's. He also *‘takes them in " as they pass the street cornors. Ho passes very readily for a gay, careless fellow who ** has bis faults " but promisos wall, Lis hopeful parents think, not knowing the name of the wiquity that their sou knows by heart, Oceasionaily he makes o striko, or reforms, and becomes a steadv-going citizen, reeretting for the rest of his Ifo tho senseless folliea of his youth ; genarally, howeser, his is the emb: typo of the stcady drinker of middlo life, the confirmed end_bardened loafer—than which 10 sight is more pitiful—of old ago. THE BILLIALD LOUNGER. A Tho guest of the billiard-room is a ioafer of the most undeniable stamp. There is no one who can wear out a s0fa covering in the cause of Iaziness witn more aystematic persoverance than he. Ha will eit for hours upon hours, motion- Icss, apprenty lifcless, looking with damb va- ty upoa the players. The rocurring season of -time, with its goawing demauds, is the only A5 the hour me; thing that rouscs him to action. appronches, he will tarn bis eyes to save tho ex- tra labor of turning bis bead, and if the clock indicates that be must burry or go without, Lo gathers ap Lis eloepil joints and shambles out of the back-door, preferring thealley to the street from some unknown cavee, probably traceable to an ncknowlodgment on his own part that it 18 more in harmony with his instincts. In oute ward garb, though there is & differoncs, yet thora is o similarity between all the members of this class of vagabonds. Their strong point is eecdiness, - They have all goue to secd. ~ As o general thing thero 18 a BaR- gestion of flash days in some part of their appar- —dszs when, by eomo of the luck st i cident to the tribe, but which no oaeccaa necount for on any reasopable -hypothesis, thev wers fluel, and laid themselves out for a ehow of watch-chain,—2 most barefaced pretension,—or o ploid vest, a ecal ring that ought to cause ita ownper's arrest for weering brees-knucklee, or some other articlo indicalive of whit direction their taste would takieif it had a financial baex- ing. . This appearance goes far in the ealoon-keep- er’s mind 1 pdvocating leniency towards thom, They aro past customers and pogeibly futuro ones. He knows to what lwihtdgjeéolntoap- Fearanco becomes o damage to his place, aud Lo thereforo keepa out thoss who'fail to csine up to the standard. Thoy,thue attain to consid- eradlo ingennity in disgaising their failings in gasb. Tk back parts of the Lreeches and boots ith g m:'%'\;p:\:iun, angd | #re frequently ragzed, but the front passes mas-- tor. As they.are not alloowed io sloep in the billiard-rooms, thetr pleasures.of this nature are cut off. 'The tablo-boys make no scruple of calling out Change cars for refreshments ! or *No lodge:s wantea!” if they eatch one of the “rogulars” dropping into the srms of or- pheus. Thie, being one of the jokes which are s etandard as the make of tables, is submitted 1o as conveying no elight. I Althonglh the bitliard loafer is a stolid charac- ter, and is not to be roused into showing an in- terest in the ordinary stock witticisms or eventa of the billiard-room, yet ho has been kvown to riee up in his seat and even becomo startled with & feeling, by sceing & acientific_run or & marvel- cus carom exccuted. Aa tho summer i3 ap- roaching, he will soon transport himeelf to the - EL‘.c-bLXI prounds, and bloom in that field. Ho profers out-door sporis, as they enabio him to it in tho sun and fall asleep when he choozes. SIDEWALK INSPECTORS. b The -inspeciors of sidewalks and. public im- provements are ancther largoeclass, These | 1tinerants ars devoured with a morbid curiosity. No matter how trivial the inducement may ba, whother it is a sight of some workmen engaged in shoveling out & cartload of dirt or_planting & corner-stone to some new building, or a peddler eoiling Lia wares on the streot-corue or dealing out magic pens ot 25 cenrs apicee’th s crowd of easily cajolod customers, the sight 1s onough to transfix their intorest -and enchain them to the ! tpot for howrs. ~ What tho thoughts of one of ti:em may be in'all this time, itia difficult to con- jeeture, ‘but no doubt ho revolyes in his mind a i Beries of ‘insane specilations as to tho beet motiods of doing this or that, and is quito quic ! $0 notica when a mistaka ismsdo or,the work- men loiter about their work, which he mentally ; says is o fraud on thoir emplogers. * Onc of his favorite regorts in mild weather, isat the bridges, when vessels are passing and repasa- ing. This activity affords him much gratification, as ha can turn to ook at tire river whenevor there is o lall, and watch the objeats, floating about.
