Unfortunately, hewerer, it did’et happen to meet the eye of whoever may be in authority over the locality referred to, and who is, there- fore, clearly re:porsible for the existence of the eye- sores complained of. At least the admonition dves‘nt, appear to have borne iruit visible tothe naked eye.

Miss Kate Field will tell you that now. She knows how it is herself, es the boys say. She learned it by experience. For nigh on to forty years this young woman bas been going up and down the earth finding fault in a pert, snippy- sbappy cort of way with the manner in which the plan of creation wes carried out. "Most everytatng came under her ban; bat in an especiul manner did she feel moved to tell how books ought to be written, pictures painted, apd sculptures cbiseled,—or rather how they oughin't. These were her specialties. But not her best suit. The one particular sabject that she was perfectly at home upou,—that she was eaturaced with, and just reveled in, so to speak,—was how actors on the stage should play their parts; or, to speak more correct!y again, how they shouldn’ play them. That was her pet theme. What she didn’t know about it could be put in a very small beok,—eo small, indeed, that nobody would want it. And there seemed to be some warrant fer her assumption. Her father before ber showed cleverness as both actor and writer, and it was rather taken for granted that she inherited something of hie genius in both callings. it was all right, there fore, £0 long rs she kept *) her original role of fault-tinder. Withont questioning, everybody thought she knew what she was al out, and she was a power,accordingly. But in ai | m: ment she c yed to build, instead of teardow and here she met here fate, #3 peopie of her temperament have been meeting it trom time out of mind, and as they will keep on meeting it tothe end of time. It was the old story of Icarus over again. Her giddy ambition tempted he~ to coar too high; her wings melted away, anddown she came!

No Sunday operas and such like wicked Cevices for her! She listens, however, with calm complacency and even with marke of delight to “sacred Sunday evening con- certs,” which include on their programma pop- ular operatic gems and such religious melodies as ‘Kory O'Moore” and ‘Charley over the Water.” It is thus that frigid gentility an} low desire are wedded at the Hab. a MapeiaGE or Rerggsentative LOPLaNp's ONLY DAvGHTER,—At Miiford, Delaware, Thursday, Mr. Joseph E.

To the Editar of The Star All acquainted with our political history will remember the celebrated combination (under the leadership of Henry Clay, of Ky.,) of Clay, Webster and Cathoan and their friends, against Andrew Jackson, President of the United States.

Jackson, therefore, threw back a bold dei ance, and the war on both sides was waged with great bitterness.

Of course they were all in a sad looking plight; concemned sure enough. The expert paused a’ong down the line matking such as would do to bidon.

After making e end of the line, he remarked to his friend, ‘There's & borse back yonder I want to look agair’ So he begins again to sutvey the same old horse, bere Is something remarkable about this orse,” suid the examiner. “Surely you would rot bave me to bidon him?” seid the purchaser “No, but there’s something about him I don't underst rd,” and continued to examine ver; minutely.
