OLD IfEWSPAPEES.
ANI) SOME llAXnOM P.EFLECTIONS TIIEllKIN ANI) THEKEOX.
We believe we li.ive seeu it staled on sevenil occasions, that the term News liail ils origin in tlie initials of the four (¦aiiiiual jioiuls of tlie Mariner's Com- jiass,—tbnt is, from Korth, East, West und South; and, therefore, that tho, term implies intelligence from these points, or intermediate points, without leganl to the age of that Iutelligence. Aeeordiiij; to thia theory, then, oWricHs is not so ]iarado.Kical as ou a superlieial view it luialit seem, wlien viewed under dill'ereiit ciiciinistaiiues ; aud Iherefore, inlelligencoof the discovery of Sir Johu i^'rankliu would ba news, although the story of llis perishmeut is very old; and liy the same rule, a paper, record¬ ing what transpired one or more hun- tlred years ago, would still be 7!c«'S—or a neu'-Viapcr. Moreover, if iutelligeuce is a t/iousantl years old, it would be Jiciw to the persou who liad uol seen or heard of it before—or iu other words, one who b.id heard or .seen it for lhi first time iu his life.
JSut, without further s/iandgism, we will eome baek to the subject of "old iien'.si)apers," ami spin out a discourse oil the "old file" now before ns. At the present moment we absolutely know no more of its history than if it Itad uo Iiistory at all ; sullice it to say, that it came literally inlo our custody ubout a week ago—and not only litcrallt/, but also Icgallg. The only clue to tbe orig¬ iual owuef.ship of this old file consists iu the name of William Bailsman, im- ])rcssed in capital letters on the first page of it. lis title is " T/ie Inlelligen- i:er und Wec/.-lg Advertiser," published bv William and Robert I>ixon, at their "Printing OIBce and Bookstore, North Queeu Slreet, Lancaster," and its lir.st number is dated Wednesdav. July 31, 1701) ; begiuiiing at Ko. 1, Volume I., aud continuing to Ko. iH, Yol. II.— " price six ceuts." It is a folio of six pages—four columns to the page—and is eighteen iuches in leugth and twelve inches wide; priuted ou substantial ])ai>er, darkened by age.
,!,-o much for its pateruity, its locality, and its 2^!i!/siiuc, but we regard these _ as the leiust iiiterestiug of the peculiar fcalures whicii are conneeted with its origin, aud iis continued existence,from (hat day down to the present time.— This old lile of newspapers constitutes the cni6r,yo—the very origin of the pre¬ sent  liancaster  Intelligencer,  and  its coutents rellect some of  the jieculiar oircuraslauees, and also tho dijicultics, which  characterized its feeble  begin¬ ning, and whieli accompanied the rise of thei;c»70(;ra<(Cj)c»Y.yin thiscountry, ukliough that name, except as an epi¬ thet of reproach, is uot to be found in its columns ; iudeed, in its third num¬ lier, iu a loug article signed Citizen, it "glories in the name of Bepublican," and labors hard and earnestly to prove that it isno( Dejiocratic, ?jo< Jacobin, and no< Anti-federal in ita political character  and   tendencies.      It must bave originated under uufavorable aus¬ pices, and with feeble patronage, for in ils earlier numbers we lind but three advertisements, ouly oue of which was from a resident of Lancaster, and ho a Mr. Lewis Ve  CrcriT-probably a de¬ scendant of " Hans Graff," wbo opened a " circus " and school to teach "Horse¬ manship, Sword and I'istol exercise, in .   lhc new aud improved method." Even in the introductory of its publishers— for uo one assumed the responsibilities of its editorship—no special allusion is maile to ils political character, allhough in .snbscquent numhers its columns are employed in advocating the  claims of Thomas JIoICeax, (o the gubern.atorial chair of renusylvania.   Thatold in/ro- dtictorij, by-the-liye,  contained many old-fasiiioned  truisms, some of which may possibly have been departed from in the subsequent career of the paper. "II is therefore incumbent on us to avoid, as mueh as possible, the dissemi¬ nation of error, cither in news or policu; to discourage such imrty representations as are calculated, merely, to inflame the publicniind, and to exclude as toe laovtd a viper, all personal catumng"—haa a golden gingle lo us, wliatever may be its "ring" in olher ear.s. Although the publibhei-s iuvite "original es.say3, liter¬ ary,  moral, or politieal,  in sliort all conimunicatious subservient to general utility," and avow " not a diverging wish," that their paper shonld in  auy manner he subservient to other than ils -avowed   aim   and  end—the public good   yet so feebly was this respond¬ ed to, that none appeared in the earlier number.^ aud  they were compelled to liir up with anecdotes and witticisms- such for inslHiice,  ns   the following— "Parable addrc-ised to Beport-catchcs" which mag apply to the present times" —" Upon the credit of a clerical sports¬ man, the following reieept was lately given for cateliiug wild-geese"—" Tie a cord to llie tail of an eel, aud throwit in seas, where tliese fowls haunt.   One of tliese swallowing this slippery bait, it ruus through him, and is swallowed by a second, a third, aud so on till the string  is quite lilled.   A person once caught so mauy geese. In tbis manner, that they absolutely flew away with him."   lr we had time to digress, we inight ask if there are not geese, at the present day, wbo are caught by baits less unctuous tliana "slippery eel." But to resume the thread of ourcoagitations we are struck with thesingular absence of domestic nnd local news, in all the old papers wc have receutly examined —uut eveu an editorial column, or an editorial eouiinent or opinion, on any subject.   It is true,  that  in  1799 the Ilepublican party had   not  yet  como iuto power, aud it might not have been safe (or Editors to express such  "radi¬ cal" opiniona as that party entertained; but this was also the case with papers ou the otlier side, at least as  late as 1810; but then "the boot being on the otlier foot," might have made all tho difference seen in them.   At the advent of this first number of the Old Intelli¬ gencer, .Washington had retired to tbe  rural shades  ofMount Vernon; John Adasis  was  Preaident  of   the United States;,Thomas Mifflin was Governor of Pennsyl vania, and Mejcico, and nearly all of Boath' Aineiics, was
still untler the indisputed dominion of Spain. . Eing Qeorge III. was on the throne of England, and the Dibe(3tory was the ruling puwer in France, but the ultimate ascendency of the " Little Corporal," was rapidly looming up into view, and hence the first and sub¬ sequent numbers of this old file of pa¬ pers, were largely occupied with the "news frora France." In "a chronolog¬ ical list of the principal occurrences of the year 1898," talftn from a "London paper," we flnd the greater nnmber of the items relate tn the "Bebellion in Ireland," the M Bevolution InFranee," and the rigorous measures recommend¬ ed against the latter country, by our ruling President, and the appointment of 'Washington, to the Chieftainship of the American army. Ireland sympa¬ thised with revolutionary France, and so did the Eepubliean party, in the Uui¬ ted States; and in consequence of this sympathy of the latter, the epithets of ""Democrat" and "Jacobin" were thrust upon tbem. It was wouderfui that a name originating as a reproach, should subsequently have become such a tnlis- inau of power in the land. Wheu the politic.ll backbone of the Federal party was once broken, itis astonishing with what facility the members of that graud old party glided oirte into Ui'ini- hlicanism, aud finally into Demoeraev. Not many years thereafter, there were such politieal organizations as Demo¬ cratic Uepublicans, Independent Eepub¬ licans and Federal Ecbublicans—iaileei\ a hitherto Federal Journal, h.ad for ils motlo—"We are aliall Bepublicaus — Weare all I''eder.ali3ls.—We have yet gained little, if we countenance a poli¬ lical intolerance, as despotic as wicked, and capable of bitter aud bloody perse- cutiou,"—(Jeffekson,)—and when the great presidential coutest of lS2i Su¬ pervened, there was not a prominent man in thecountry, who would go be¬ fore tlie people, under the n.ame of/'edcr- alist, as acandidate; for John Quincy Ad¬ ams, William H. Crawford, Henry Clay and Andrew Jack.son, were all, either Democrats originally, or converts to Democracy. There is certainly "some- tiling in a name"—in polilics at least— whether names become popular, or are rendered odious. But to return to 1799 and the old Intelligencer, tliere is much in Us columns uuder the heads of "Do¬ mestic Occurences," "Selected Jfatler," "Foreigu Intelligencer," "Anecdotes," aud "Political Kews," as well as "Bus¬ iness Enterprises," that would no doubt be interesting to mauy an antiquated reader, hut we must forbear, eveu the mosl general allusions to lliem,as to their import. Iu the 13th uumber, October Itjth, sullicient eleclion returns are pub¬ lisheil lo indicale that Thomas McKeaii was elecled Governor by a majority of 7-lSI) over James Ross. In Lancaster county. Boss' majorily was 1073, and in Berks, MuKeaii's majority was 3.iU;i, —aud iu uumber 2i, December IS. irilil, is a proclamation by Gov. McICean, continuing all appointees iu office for three months.
All the pages of Ko. 23, December 25, 1791), are surrounded with the usual beavy niaiginal lines of mouruing, for the recent death of Washinglon the great and the good; and the third page is taken up with " General Orders," " Proclamations," " Announeemems," " Odes," and " Complimentary Koti- ces," having reference to bis dealh and burial. The following Message was Irasniittcd to Cougress. tben in session, by the President—" Gentlemen of the Senale—'Vhc letter herewilb transmit¬ ted will iuform you, that it has pleased Divine Providence to remove from this life, our excellent fellow citizen, George Wasliington, liy the purity of his char¬ acter, and a loug series of services to his country, rendered illustrious through¬ out the world. It remains for au allec- tionate aud greatful poeple, iu whose hearts he cau never die, to pay suitable houor to his memory.
John Adams.
Perhaps, there was no uame iu mod¬ ern history more widely known, and universally respected—and eveu rever¬ ed—than Ihe name of Washington.— However shining bis virtues may ha%'e been, whilst living, yet, it is a fact- hut a fact not more remarkable in his case than iu a hundred olhers—that many of those virlucs were not discov¬ ered, unlil he was out of ollice, aud bis body, subsequently laid in the tomb. Comparatively "great and good" as Washington was,—we uever deemed him a God—he, nevertheless, had his enemies and traducers. Iu all ages of the world there have been men who lind itutterly impossible for llicm lo elevate themselves aliove llieirmvu sordid aud prevcrtcd plaus, in couleinplatiug men aud things arouud them, and separate from themselves. The.se men reason thus: 'I hunger and thirst, I eat and drink, I feel pleiLsure and pain, I love aud bale, Ilie aud steal.' Washington, also, hungers and thirsts, he eats aud drinks, ho feels pleasure and pain, Iherefore, he also loves and bates, he lies and steals. Any beiug that has a pbj'sical faculty iu commou !('M tbeir own, caunot possibly have a mental or moral faculty above tbem. These are the moral and social levelers of our race, butthey never level Ihemselves up lo any standard, because tbey are only iutent ou leveling other people down. Araong them were the enemies .and the traducers of wasliington, aud many of them are living at thepre.ieiitday—aud not Washington only, but of ang one whom they may deem aiming at great¬ ness andgooduess. But let tliicr victim once die, and be no louger in their way, and eveu if he never had a character, tbey will vie with each other in making one for him, aud bestowing upou him fulsome, aud eveu unmerited praise- praise thnt might have assisted him, while living, iu his struggles with the world, but whieh uow is only an idle wind, aud cosla them nothing, or, per¬ haps, eveu this poor pittance to tbe memory of tbe dead, would uever be given.
These are moral, social aud polilical paradoxes that we have been trying lo probe and harmonize these forty years, without sucess. We confess we caunot comprehend how a man can be a tyrant, a perjured knave, a liar, a tliief, a de- frauder, and a common scoundrel, as a politici.au, anda" public functionary;" and yet be humane, coucientious, hou¬ orable, fair-dealing, moral, and a genial companion, ns a christiau aud a fellow citizen. Yet those vices are said to characterize their acts while living, and tbose virtues embellish their eulo¬ gies when dead—and these alligations oflen Issue frora the same human throat.
The second volume of the "Intelli¬ gencer and Advertiser," is not as free from those " iiillammalory appeals to passion," as it proposed to slart out with, in its lirst mimber. The triumph of tlie Republican party, in the elec¬ tion of Jefl'ersou aud Burr, perhaps made the dillerence. In publisbingthe tables of "relurns," the columus nre respectfully headed Bepublican and Monarchial. As a set-oil' lo this Jeffer- Riiti was ileuomiuated an Atheist, and liurr a Ilell-Cat. Wliatever the bit¬ terness which has characterized polit¬ ical eleclious from that day down lo the present, maj' have been, it is ex¬ ceedingly doublful whelher any oue has been more bitter than tbat which ushered in the advent of the Bepubli¬ can parly of ISOU. Still, the Republi¬ can party, in its collective capacity, professed to revere the name of Wash¬ ington ; for, among their toasts at the celebration of their trium|)h, held in Harrisburg, ou the 1st day of January ISOl, we llnd the following— " T/ie mcmorg of Qen. George Washington; the pattern of due subordination to civil authoritg*¦.—a'mecheers;   and aftera
•Perhaps llils w.as after all onlv a "nine" at the .admiuislration of.lohn Adams and tho Federal pnrty, who, it was alleged, hnd iiL- templed lo render the military superior lo the civil power, anii Had origlnaled and proinul- gateo the "alien nnd sedition laws." We aro qulle cortain, that when wo* were a boy. and subsequently, these terms of political re¬ proach, as won as many others, were as lillle understood by tholargernumbBr of those who used them, as the problems of Euclid are by tho Hottentots or Patagoniaus.
solemn pause—Boslin Castle." With all the asperities, and the bitterness which characterized that famous con¬ test, it is said, that before his death, John Adams became a convert to tbe political doctrines of Jefferson, aud his aon, John Qulncy Adams, also, who held the position of Secretary of Slate, under the Democratic Republican Pres¬ idency, of James Monroe.
There are some things in this staunch old radicaiJi^ Republican journal, which would look, and sound very odd at the present day, if indeed they ever could have been in harmouy with real Dem¬ ocratic principles. Such for instance DS this:—" For Sale, a healthy, active Mulatto Girl, about23 years of age. In¬ quire of the Printers."
Here Is an other item, that no doubt will .be interesting to those who are the advoeates of "female suffrage," and we confess it'1ia8''BUiBcient an<iaiit(y as ¦ piecedent. to give U aome weight at
the present da.v. " Letters from Bor¬ dentown K, J. state that a party of forty ladiea went from one house, to exercise the important privilege of vot¬ ing. Of these amiable patriots, only ien voted for the Jacobin ticket"—fol¬ lowed by the editorial remark, that— "These ten have been, we presume the wise virgius." Of course the Jacobin ticket. Was thatheaded by JeflTerson and Burr, the Bepublican candidates, and who were alleged to havo been in sym¬ pathy with the Jacobins aud Demo¬ crats ot France. It might uot bpjm- pertinent; nor insignificant, -toSaKsk, "What political party in our eoiintry now lineally descending from any party of that period, is in sympathy with the French Bepublicaus of the presen t day'?' Bepublicauism, for tbe last seventy years,-has gone Ihrough so mauy feats of "grouud aud lofty lumbling,"—and thatof France has beoome sodubious in its cbaracter, tbat the whole "model Republic,"oBtbiseontinentrecentIy en¬ trapped itself iuto aclive sympathy aud support of a powerful aud consuliilated Germau monarchy, wbicii claims to rule by a Divine right—hy the special "grace of God," iu total contravention of all '\iieBaoti>ox)ularsovreignty, IMuch here might be said of tbe political "llip-ilops," of the "graud old Federal party," siuee the year ISOO also; font bas, by no means, beeu remarkable, for polilical consistency. We are not sure that wliat politicians call "consis¬ tency" is a political virtue. In it are iu-volved the life or death of the ideas of i^i'ogrcss, of reform, of con¬ servatism, of radicalism, or auy other moral, aocial and polilical ism, that may be developed in elevating and advancing the civilization of the age. Would il have been a virtuo for the Britons lo have remained as Julius Cicsar fouml- them to all eternity, or even to the preseut day'? It is some¬ times absolutely amusing, wbeu we look back into Ihe psist, and see how tliese ideas have been tossed about from side to side, by the'polilical parties of our country—for all the world like boys at a game of "hand-ball," eaeh intent upou runniug up his own particular score. We well remember wheu we were an "Old line Whig," how we were snubbed and twilled by our Dem¬ ocratic associates, about our conserva¬ tism ; claiming, as a distinguishing characteristic of Democracy, that it was radical and progressive, and adapted it¬ self to circumstances as tbey occurred. This doubtless may be true, aud may accouut for ils conservatism, aud its op¬ position to radical ideas noio. There is one distinguishing feature about this old jourual before us, and that is, that from its earliest iucipiency down to the present time, ithas uniformly claimed to be the exponent of the party princi¬ ples which have been'arrayed in oppo¬ sition to tbe old Federal party, ami all other parties, which, it alleged, have descended from that ancient slock. Iu this it claims to have been consistent- and perhaps it woff-whatever may have beeu the measures it has advocated from time lo time. There is, perhaps, not a single newspaperin the city aud couuly of Lancaster that can show such an unbroken series of file.-*, from 1799 to 1S71,—and all purjiorling to be on the same political side—as thatof the Intel- liganeer, whatever virtue there may be in that. And furthermore, if 1S71 knows precisely where it stands now, iu its political relations and allinilies to 1709, then it is gifted with powers of discrimiualiou of a vastly higher char¬ acter than we ever expect to attain.—- Weare the niore i upreasetl with this phase, wheu we loiJk upon all the men and lhemea.sures of the two great po litical parties into which our country is divided.
The Democratic ptirty did not imme¬ diately assume that name aa a distinc¬ tive lille. It was one of several terms of reproach, that was applied to it by the then dominant i''edei'al party. Like "Yankee Doodle," wliich became nationalized by adoiuiiui, this name was .i/rafiMn% assumed, for eveu us late as 1819-20 it was onlv a iirelix to the terra Bepublican; nevertheless, " it was a power in the lauil." From the earliest dawn of its polilical ascenden¬ cy, down to ISliO, it would not permit anything moro thau temporary lease of power, by any other party, but then through iuternal disseutioua aloue, the eharm was broken, aud it lias sullered Its political opjionent, under ils own earlier cnguomeu, to rule aud reign tri- umphautly for more than teu years. Are there not lessousof wisdom iu these tilings that muy well bo heeded now by political parlies, whatever their names may bo ? Beware of inlernal dissentions. But we have dilated sulll- cieutly on tliese things, and more than wo at first intended. An old file of newapapers, is, however, too suggestive to resist altogether tbe teaehiuga il fur¬ nishes ou the mutations of men ami measures, in a land ot freedom; and we may safely conclude that thero al¬ ways loill be and ahvays should be Uco parties !it least, iu our couutry, for there is a superior power, above all party, and inherent in tbe people, that we may hope will always develop its jireservative quaiilics, wheu tho con¬ tingency arises. During the period of which we are writing in reference to this old file of the Intelligencer, Laii- etister was theseatof theState Govern¬ ment, aud alLlhe political intrigues and wiae workings euliuiuated here, and that old Jiaper is full of them. We con¬ clude this p.aper by the simple allusion to a peculiarity of that period, iu the uames of voeationa. " Julia Lonan, Jlilliuery and Haberdashery." " 'jolin Biddle, Surgeon, Barber, aud Haber¬ dasher." These lalter terms meant, what now goes by the names of "Ko- tions," " Trimmiugs, &c.," so that we have auy nuniher of Haberdasheries, all aloug Kiug and Queeu sts., iu Lancas¬ ter city at the present day—allhough Surgery, ami Barbery are entirely di¬ vorced.

JOHN'S BAEGAIK.
" I don't like you at all, Maidie Boy¬ al. You are a real naughty little girl, and I won't play with you any more— so!" ,
Maidie looked very much grieved.and began to ory. Mr. Boyal waa aitting at hia desk, writing, hut at John's emphat¬ ic words he glanced up, and aaid to his aon, in a very grave voice :
"John, comehere." ,      ,.   ,
" I wasjust going out into the kilch- en,^<-»tftmmered Jolin, coloring. "I wi(iit'«%peak to Kitty."  . ,
"Butl wish to speak to yon," said Mr, Boyai. So John came alowly up to the desk, with the look of a culprit on his lace.
"Whal, .sir?" ,
" I waut to know bow much you will take for your share iu Maidie?"
John looked up surprised.
"I don't know what you mean," he aaid.
" Wlir," explaiued his father, "since you have done playing with Maidie, I would like to buy your share in her— or your right to her. Kow you may set your own price. How rauch shall I give you for her?"
"How much money, do you mean, papa?"
"Yes."
" I guesa I'll sell her forfifty dollars," said John, afler a few momenta' reflec¬ tion.   " Yea, I will—fifty dollars."
" Very well; that is quJte reasonti- ble," said Mr. Boyal. "Now you must remember that as I am going to huy all your right to Maidie.you have nothiug more to do with her. You must not kiss lier, nor. speak" to her, nor play with her any more. She is her mam¬ ma's little girl and mine, not youra at all.   It is a bargain, is it, Johu ?"
" Can't kiss lier good night, when we go lo bed ?"
" Ko."
"Can't we go out doors together?" John's voice began to sound a liltle un¬ steady. " You kuow our garden, pa¬ pa?"
"Y^ou will have to make another, somewhere elae. I will flud you a place. Y'ou must not work in the same garden auy more."
"I will have to lead her to school, papa; she will get lost if I don't, just as sure as anything."
" I will attend to that, John. You will have to go to sehool by yourself. Is the bargain made?"
" Y-e-s, air, I auppose so." And Johu cast a doubtful look at Maidie, who atood close by, wilh her doll in her arms, and tears on her long eyelashea.
"Very weil," said Mr. Boyal. "When you want the money you can ask forit. Vou may go uow."
"I kuow what I mean to buy," thought John, running to the other end of the room and sittiug on the broad, cushioned window aeat. " I will buy a pony aud a saddle, aud a gold watch and lots of other things I've been a- wauting ever since I was a little boy."
The idea of these splendid acquisi¬ tions waa so pleasant that ho wauled to ahare it with some oue; so he cried out:
" Oh,"Maidie, you como here, and I'll tell you what I'm going to huy with my fifty dollars."
" Stop, stoi)," cried papa; " have you forgotten so soon that you have no right to speak to Maidie? She doea'ut beloug to you at all."
A cloud came over John's face, and ho sat very still for a long time, think¬ ing, and by-aud-bye two or tliree tears fell. Maidie and he had played to¬ gether ever since he could remember— such a long, longtime! and she was the on!j' sister he had in the world; a reol lease sometimes, tb be sure, but then, how could he get along wilhout her? and he looked slyly out from under the window curtains, to aeo what she was doing.
How pretty she looked, sitting iu a high ehair beside her father, wilh a book of colored pictures open before her, aud her sunny curls falliug over her rosy checks aud while neck! Wasn't she better than a sail-boat, or a gold •.vatch, or eveu a pony? "Y'es, iudeed, a thousand million timea!" thought John, " and yet I've gone and sold her for fifty tiollars, and I almost know that papa won't take it back, 'cause, it was a regular bargain. O, dear, dear!"
Here the tears iiegan to How faster and faster, and presently a choking lit¬ tle sob attracted Jlr. Boyal's attention. Then another and another, and then John jumped down from the window seat, runuing up to tlic desk, hid his fsice on his father's arm, and burst into such'a pa.ssion of tears that Maidie was frightened aud began to cry too.
"Why, what is the matter, my son?" asked Mr. Eoyal, kindly.
"I—I—I—dou't wa—waut to—to .sell luy right to Maidie," answered John, as well as he could for weeping.
"Why—not for flfty dollars?" asked papa.
"Oh, no," said John, "no indeed, not for fifty million. Will you let me have her backagain, please, dear papa? and I  don't helieve  I'll   ever be  s
. — be so naughty and erosa again as long as I live."
"Very well," said Mr. Boyal, smil¬ ing, "Since you wish it so mucli, I will give up my jiart of tiie bargain, aud you may have your little sisler back again; but I hope you will think, another time, when you are tempted to speak to her as you did today, how you would feel not lo have Maidie at all."
" I guess I shall," said John, giving her a good hug and kisa. " I love you, Maidie."
"So do I you," eaid Maidie, return¬ ing the caresa. "Kow let's go out in our little garden, John."
So away they ran, hand in hand, as merry as the birda that wero aiuging up among the boughs of the old butter¬ nut tree.

A SIOBT rOB THE IVITLS EOLKS.
niKTS O'^ TABLEA.UX.
I propose to give a few plain direc¬ tions by whioh eft'eetive scenes caiL be arranged in any room with but lUUe trouble or exp°nse. ,    ;-
You will ueed 10 boxes of Tatl0us sizes, 2 hall-length picture-frameil,-': 1; wash-tub and board, 1 broom,'SOtfeet anuealed wire, 2 dozen curtain-rings' 12 large lamps of 20 candles, or ajgaa rod 12.feet long wJtli Jo 5-foi.&;Jajjirners uponrlt, Oyarda black tarlatan muslin, costing 50 cents per yard, and 5 cotton sheets.
If the room has no folding-dnors you must bave a tliick curtain or bed-quilt contrived to draw on a wire across the room at one end, leaving a space about 15 feet deep for the stage. This space must be draped with shawla oreurtuins by stretching wire across the aides aud back of the stage near the ceiling and hanging them by meaus of riugs firmly sewed upon tbe cloth. You will thus bave a square room draped all around, exceptiufront. Tbenproeure4upfight pieces of narrow board ju.st tbo height of the room for posts, screw them upon the back sides of the frames near the edge, so tbat when you raise them up the frames will staud upright 41 feet from tbe lloor. Cover all the space above aud helow the fiamea with cloth of the same color lUi the black wall, so they will appear to the audience as if they were haugius'upon the wall; put up these frames -l feet apart, and nail 4 strips of board 5 inches wide iu the shape of a large frame between tbem, having the top aud bottom strips which form the franie «} feet apart, which when completed will give you a large frame belween tbe two smaller ones. This large frame will be 4 feet.wido aud 6J high outside. A curtain muat be ar¬ ranged to ruu in frout of the frames in order to cover them when not iu uae.
These 3 frames stand at back of the stage (Lbe supporting posts nailed to the floorj 2i feet from tbe wall, so as to give room for the performers behind them.
If gas is available, fasten a rod with burners upou it over tho lop of the cur¬ taiu or folding doors. The best way is to make for it a shelf supported upou two posts about S feet high. Over the buruers and behiud tbem tack sheets of commou tin, beut so as to throw the light dowu. If you cannot get the tiu conveniently, fasten behind the burners a while sheet, which will serve the purpose very well. If the curtain does not come to the ceiling you must put a shawl or thick cloth above it, so that the light cannot show much over the curtaiu iuto the darkened room where the audieuce sit. Wheu gas cannot be had, fasten the candles upon the shelf. If keroseue lamjis are used, holes must be made iu the board to fasten tbem firmly in their places. In a very elab¬ orate performance the stage should be raised to a level witu the eyea of the spectators. Bull have had mauy very flne performances iu a parlor wiiere we did uot begiu work until two hours he¬ fore the curtain rose.
Kext make a veil of hlack tarlatan musliu large enough to cover the space before the foldiug-doors or posts wliich support your curtaiu.
In the programme I am to give you this moutb 1 shall introduce ouly such costumes and appointments aa cau readily be obtained iu any bouse. We will begiu wilh a group of statuary, as this requires more lime for prejiaration than other scenes. Here is a very sim¬ ple oue ¦.—Justice, Mercy, and Peaee.
Justice stauds ou a high pedestal made of two boot boxes covered with a sheet; I'eace on one box ; and Jlercy kneels on two boxes placed eud to end so aa to make a long pcdeatal. They are draped in sheela. Peace must be taken iJy achild dressed in a short frock uf while cotton belted around the waist. Justice must he a larger lady than Mercy, ilercy kneels in attitude bf prayer with clasped handa ; Justice stands erect liuldiug a sword aud scales covered with wliite clotli, and having a bandage over her eyes ; Peace standa ou the right of Justice hubliug a stalk of paper lilies iu her rigbt liaud. The faces muat be whitened with lily-white rubbed on dry.
In all statuea the hands which are ahown arc covered witli while cotton loves, the arms with stocking-legs sewed to tlie gloves, and the lieads wigs made of laiup-wickiug. Bemem¬ ber to turn down your gaa, or to draw a strip of green cambric before your kerosene lamps ; and if your atalues sland slill, llie eU'ect ia wonderful.— Wheu the audieuce havo seen euough of the statues, lower your curtaiu or shut folding doors. The assistants rap¬ idly clear the stage; draw away the curtaiu whicli hides the picture, and in one miuuie the audieuce behold to tbeir aatouishiucut a setof tableaux. luoue frame Milton, at ihe age of 10, by a girl with a rouud face and light, wavy hair falling upon her liuir iu front, fiat-top eap, poiuted paper col lar, velvet basque; iu the other the Pride of the Marlcet,— a dark-haired yOung lady, rustic hat, white waist, bodice cut out of red flan¬ nel ; she holds ou Iter left arm a basket of apples, and in her rigbt haud the largest apple of all. In tbe centre or large frame we will have Dear and Cordelia, Lear sits proudly hy on a soap-box, Cordelia has lierleftarm over bis shoulder. Throw light trom the left side with a common relletjtor.- Turu the liglit on at top, and llie pic¬ tures look as if they wero painted.
Kext we have a comic scene,—ioi'c's Disguises.
A preltj' girl in calico is wa.shiug at a tub at the right side of the stage ; a fop ia looking at her through an enor¬ mous eye-glass; heia dressed showily, with white bat and caue. In the next scene the maiden is sitting on a chair iutheceutie, aud a cunning lillle Cupid aims his great tin bow at the fop from the wash-tub.
In tbe mean time the active assistant has fllled the frames agaiu and without delay the imdieuce hehohl—Catawba, Little Nell and her Grandfather, and Little Iio peep.
Calawba holda a glass half full of vinegar; light flowing hair, white dress, with grape-leaves. Bo-peep,high sugar-loaf hat made of red paper, cali¬ co dress tucked over red petticoat; holds a crooked caue. Kell, calico dre.=s, broad hat. Grandfather leans on ber shoulder, caue iu right hand.  '
And then-'I'he Boman Girls al the Shrine of St. Agnes.
The Saint, iu white, stands in the large frame; before heron thestage two bo-Kes covered wilh a sheet form the shrine, on which stands a cros? raade of unpainted wood 2i feet high ; one dark Boman girl holds a Avreath of fiowera over one arm of the cross, an¬ olher kneels at the other side, passing to her a liasketof llowers, a tliird kneels iu prayer at front of stage telling her beads, a fourth stsinds in the corner of the stage at b.ack holding a sheaf of straw. Dress,—black, hrown, or red skirts; black brelellesover white waists, long, wliile towels on heads, folded 3 times the longest way, and jilaced fiat upon the head leaving Ihe rest to bang dowu behind. Concealed singers slug Ave Sanctissimr..
By this lime the audieuce will be ready for sumething to laugh at, so we will havo—ijT/norancc is Bliss: a French Peasant Scene.
At the left of the stage an old ladyls asleep In a high ehair. She is dressed in black, oriu any plain dress; wears a white apron, and has a white sliawi folded across her slioulders; alsoahigh cap and spectacles, which have fallen upou ber nose. At the right a girl sits at the spinning-wheel. She has on a bright short akirt, white waiat, red or black bodice; on her heatl a cap of lace gathered in a rosette witll very long ribbon? streaming from it; on herarms she has tbree ribbons, one at 2 inches above tbe wrist, next below the elbow the third near the ahoulder. A youtli ia kneeling at her feet holding her left hand. She looka archly at him, regard¬ less of tlie unconseioua grandmother. The youlb has ribbons upon his arms like the girl; he has no coat on, but bright suspenders joiued in front with two bars. In the 2d scene the lovers re¬ main as before, except that the grand¬ mother bas wakened, aud isjnst raising her broom with Ihe intention of wak¬ ing the young man also. In the Sd scene the grandmother holda the lovers apart at arms' length by grasping oue ear of each. The girl is crying at the leftside, and tbe youth at the rightof grandmother looks sheepishly down, with his finger in his mouth. Kext draw away the back curtain again, aud show more pictures which the assistant has had time enough to prepare.
In the centre frame stauds a gleaner. In one amall frame a child with a red cape over her head and a little basket in her liand personates Betl Biding- hood; and inthe other & ¦Aiarcltionete,
Nexttbe-AngeU'Whitper. tatoot- bed two'Uttle «)hUdnn} Me, jBleeplng..
Oneangellifts the quilt at the right corner of the bed; at the head another angel with clasped hands is smiling upon the sleepiuz babies; behind tho bed in the centre of the stage upon a box Btands'a third angel with hands ex¬ tended in blessing; the fourth angel kneels in prayer at the foot of the bed. Ifi: the 2d scene tbe little child who lay ln=;fl:bnt of the Bed is, kneeling, the bighest angel places her left hand upon the child's shoulder and points iip with tlie right.. The'other angels turn and lopk.in same direction. The children are dressed in lilghf-gowns, the" angel iu white muslin; their winga are made of a wire frame 4 feet long, in rough imitaliou of the shape of a bird's wing, and aro covered with coarse muslin; tho two winga are fastened together by a band of liu flve inchea loug pierced with holes for the eUustio which con- hues them to the shoulders.
As by this time the spectators may be tired of stillsceues wu will give them au illuslraled ballad,—"The Mistletoe Bough," "01dBobinGray,"or"Alon- zo the Brave," aud conclude with a burlesque ]Kinlouiime, or "Jarley's Wax worKs." But aa these requirea very full description I shall reserve them for a future article.
From what has beeu said this mouth you will understand how to arrange a very .simple hut. ellective exhibition. I shall hereafter explain how to throw coloied lights wilbout fire smoke, or smell, how to jiaiut scenery aud mi." the paints, how to preseut ship aud boat scenes iu a perfect way, yet so simple thata boy i«f twelve cau"mako aud painl them for himself, and give full accounts of elaborate scenes, pic¬ tures, burlesques, and statuary, inter¬ spersed with many aTnusiug adven¬ tures wiiich have occurred iu the trav¬ els of the writer.—Cliu- Young Folks.
