the young man ; and some of his fellows,
looking at' their mistresses, • thought they
could do as much. The father was. on
horseback, apart and sullen, repenting that
he had subjected his daughter even to the

his'twenty lines - soliloquy, about - half way,'
.when. he suddenly stopped, and walking
forward ,to the - foot lights, addressed. the
audience,,w4e, is•will be 'seen, was an old
and intimate.. acquaintance: -

under such eircurnstaneeslhad neither right
or 'inclination to thwart his wishes. The
consideration,' liptverr, could not; "keep.
down the- facetiona -spirit *of the -comedians,'
and, as a .natural .consequence, -the
site tragedy was transformed into about the
richest burlesque that
.was ever enacted
upon any

acts the actors kept within tolerable bounds.
hoping life audiere. ,voulti get sick' and

scarcely a line was spoken that tires not so
perverted-ds-to-fnrnish---glotitius matter 'for
a, book of comicilltisttations. -- A'he 'wag
of an audience abandoned himself heart:

in this thought,. perhaps enough for an
