Kissing Casuistry? ; When Sarah Jane, the moral miss Declares ' 'tis very wrong to kiss,' I really think I see through it; The lady, fairly understood, Feels just as any Christian should She'd 'rather suffer wrong than do it!' DOESTICKS SEES A "MODERN CLASSIC DRAMA." New York, December 29, 1854. Not many nights ago, having an entire evening at my own disposal, I held a great consultation with my inseparable friends, on the moot feasible and agreeable method of sacrificing the great horological enemy. After mature deliberation we resolved to visit the lately established, "truly gorgeous temple of the muses," and witness the redemption of one of the pledges of the directors, who had promised us the restoration of the legitimate classio Drama. We believed that there we should find true artistic taste, displayed in the adornment and decoration of the building, and that we should see stilling plays acted by performers of the highest merit; where every attention would be paid to propriety and elegance of costume, and splendor, and magnificence of stage ' appointments. . We took a stage and navigated up Broadway until we came to the place, where a big canvass sign marks the entrance to the " Grand Thespian Wigwam, and Head- Quarters of Modern Orpheus." Through a wedge-shaped green baize door down a crooked pair of stairs under an overhanging arch and we stood in the parquettc took a front seat, and immediately had occasion to commend the economy of the managers, in not lighting the gas in the upper boxes then proceed to admire in detail the many beauties of this superb edifice, which, at first glance, reminded me of an overgrown steamboat cabin looked for a long time at the indefinite Indian over the stage, trying to fix the gender to my satisfaction, and decide whether it is a squw or an individual of masculinity hard to tell, for it has the face, form, and anatomical developments of the former, and the position, and hunting implements of the latter I concludad that it must be an original Woman's Rights female, who, in the lack of breeches, had taken possession of the "traps" of her coppercolored lord and master, and, getting tired of the unusual playthings, had laid down to take a snooze. Admiring the easy and graceful drapery painted on the "drop," which looks as if it was whittled out of a pine shingle took a perplexed view of the assorted landscape depicted thereon endeavored to reconcile the Turkish ruins, with the Swiss Mountains, or thegothic castle with the Arab slaves wanted to harmonize the camels and other tropical quadrupeds on the right, with the frozen mill-pond on the left couldn't understand why the man on the other side of the same, among the distant mountains, should be so much larger than the individual close to the shore, who is supposed to be nearer by several miles. Tried to make out what the man in a turban is doing with his legs crossed under him, on a raft, but gave it up admired exceedingly the two rows of private boxes, which look like windows in a martin-house, but could not perceive the propriety of having them supported by plaster-pans ladies, without any arms, and their bodies covered up in patent metalic burial-cases, (I was informed that the artist calls them Caryatides,) was impressed with the admirable proportions of the stage; a hundred and eleven feet wide, by four feet ten inches deep reminding me forcibly of an empty seidlitz-powder box, turned up edgeways censured the indelicacy of the managers in permitting the immodest little cupids, who tacitly perform on the impassable flutes and fiddles, to appear before so refined an audience, "all in their bare" )my friend says the drapery was "omitted by particular request") was much chagrined about a mistake I made concerning a picture on one of the proscenium flats, which I mistook for a Kentucky backwoods girl, with a bowie-knife in one hand, and a glass of cornwhisky in the other; but I was told that it represents the tragic muse, with the dagger and poisonRowl resolved not to be deceived about the match picture on the other side, and after an attentive scrutiny, I determined that it is either a female rag-picker, with a scoop-shovel, or a Virginia wench with a hoe-cake in her hand; and I made up my mind that any one disposed to heathenism might safely worship the same, and transgress no Scriptural command, for it certainly is a likeness of "nothing in the Heavens above, the Earth beneath, or the Waters under the Earth." The multitudinous orchestra came out in a crowd the big fiddle man took the emerald epidermis from off his high-shouldered instrument,and after a half hour preparatory tuning, and forty-one pages of excrutiating overture, the little be didn't ring, (they never rang a bell at this aristocratic establishment it smacks of the kitchen,) but with a cracking of pullies, a trampling of feet, a rattling of ropes, and a noise like a full grown thunderstorm, the curtain went up. Magnificent forest scene two blue looking trees on one side a green baize carpet to represent grass blue calico borders overhead to suggest sky a bower, so low the hero thrice knocked his hat off going under to see his "lady love," and a mossy bank in one corner, made of canvas stretched over a basawood plank, and painted mud-color audience all silent, waiting the comingvof the "Evening Star," the love-lorn heroine of the ju'ece at length she came with a hop, step, and a jump, she blushingly alights in the middle of the stage applause she teeters cheering she teeters lower yet prolonged clapping of hands boquet hits her on the head; she picks it up and teeters lower still a dozen or so more fall at her feet, or are scattered indiscriminately over the fiddlers, and the boys in the front row somebody throws a laurel wreath she again teeters to the very earth, so low that I think she will have to sit flat down and pick herself up by degrees at her leisure but she ultimately comes up all right melodramatic villain comes on with a black dress and a blacker scowl on his intellectual visage has some hard words with the heroine she calls him "a cowardly wretch," a "vile thing," defies him to his teeth, tells him to do his worst, and finishes in an exhausted mutter, in which I could only distinguish disconnected words, such as "poison," "vengeance," "heaven," "justice," "blood," "true love," and "death." Despairing lover appears in the background; remarkable principally for his spangled

dress and dirty tights, at sight of whom the defiant maid immediately changes her tune, and prays powerful villain to spare her beloved Adolpheus powerful villain scowls blacker, and turns up his lip till it looks like an exaggerated angleworm heroine gets more distracted than before scowly villain won't relent suffering young lady piles on the agony, and implores him to "save my father from a dungeon, and take this wretched hand" powerful villain evidently going to do it, when heroic lover comes down on a run, throws one arm around his lady love, draws his sword with the other, strikes a grand attitude, and makes a terrific face at powerful villain, who disappears incontiently lover drops his bloodthirsty weapon, slaps his hand on his breast, and the interesting pair poke their heads over each each other's shoulders, and embrace in the orthodox stage fashion. Scene closes. Magnificent chamber, furnished with a square legged table, two chairs and carpets whose shortcomings are distinctly visible to the naked eye triumphal march, large dose of trumpet, admin

istered in a flourish supposed to portend the ad vent of royalty enter procession of badly scared "supes" with cork whiskers, wooden spears, pasteboard helmets, tin shields resplendent with Dutch metal, and sandals of ingenious construc tion and variety they march in, in single file, treading on each other's heels, keeping step with the majestic regularity of a crowd of frightened sheep escaping from a pursuing bull-dog, and forms a line which looks like a rainbow with a broken back. King swaggers in, looking very wild distracted heroine enters all in tears, her hair all down her back, her sleeves rolled up, (evidently being convinced that "Jerdon is a hard road") and her general appearance expressive of great agony of mind she makes a tearing speech to the king, during which she rolls up her eyes, throws her arms about, wrings her hands, pitches about m a certain and unreliable manner, like galvanized frog sinks on her knees, rumples her hair, yells, cries, whispers, screams, squirms. begs, entreats, dances, wriggles, shakes her fist at powerful villain stretches forth her hand to Heaven throws her train around as if she was cracking a coach whip slides about like a small boy on skates, and at length, when she has exerted herself till she is hoarse, she faints into the arms of heroic lover, who stands convenient; her body from the waist up, being in a deep swoon, while her locomotive apparatus attains its usual action and walks off without assistance, although the inanimate part of her is born away in the careful arms of the enamored swain in the dirtv tights. A succession of scenes follows, in all of which the heroic lover, the dark villain, and the despairing maiden, figure conspicuously, and the scenic resources of this magnificent establishment are displayed to the utmost advantage the omnipresent, square legged table, being equal to any emergency being an ornament of elegant proportions . in the palace, then an appropriate fixture in the lowly cot of the "poor, but honest parents" of heroic lovers. It is used by the King to sign a death-warrant on, and is then transfer red to the kitchen, where it makes a convenient platform upon which the low-comedy servant dances a hornpipe it then re-appers in the country house of a powerful villain, who uses it by night for bedstead and it then makes its final appearance in the King's private library, prior to its eventual resurrection in the farce, where bar maid has it covered with pewter beer-mugs and platters of cold victuals. And the same two ubiquitous chairs go through every graduation of fortune, turn up in all sorts of unexpected places, are always forthcoming when we least expect to see them are chairs of state, humble stools, as occasion may require are put to all sorts of uses appear in varied unexpected capacities, and finally, when we think their protean transforma tions are at last exhausted, they re-appear, covered with flannel ermine and Turkey red calico, doing duty as thrones for the King and Queen, and we are expected to honor them accordingly. The end draws nigh brigands begin to appear in every other scene dark lanterns, long swords, and broad cloaks arc in the ascendant. Terrible thunder-storm prevails the dashing rain is imitated as closely as dried peas and number one shot can be expected to do it the pendant sheetiron does its duty nobly, and the home-made thunder is a first rate article. The plot thickens, so does the weather heroic young lover is in a peck of troubles has a clandestine moonlight, midnight meeting with injured damsel, and they resolve to kill themselves and take the chances of something -'turning up" in another world. Comic servant eats whole mince pies, drinks innumerable bottles of wine, and devours countless legs of mutton and plum puddings at a sitting. Villain is triumphant blood and murder seem to be victorious over innocence and virtue when suddenly "a change comes o'er the spirit of their dreams" heroic lover resolves not to die but to distinguish himself fights a singlehanded combat with seven robbers stabs three, kicks one into a mill-pond, and throws the rest over a precipice distressed maid is pursued by bandit chief is rescued by heroic lover, . who catches her in his arms and jumps with her through a trap-door over a picket jfence. Hero is unexpectedly discovered to be a Prince, which fact is made known to the world by his old nurse, who comes from some unknown region, and whose word every body seems to set down as gospel. Despairing lady proves to be a princess King summons all hands to appear before him heroic lover plucks up courage, runs at big villain with his sword fight, with all the usual stamps by the combatants, and appropriate music by the orchestra big villain is stabbed falls with his head close to the wing prompter slaps red paint in his left eye looks very bloody acts very malicious spits at heroic lover -squirms about a good deal kicks his boots off soils his stockings, and after a prolonged spasmodic flourish with both legs, his wig comes off, he subsides into an extensive calm, and dies all over the stage. Everybody is reconciled to everybody else. King comes down from his throne to join the hands of the loving pair, and immediately abdicates in favor of persevering lover people all satisfied young husband kisses his bride, leaving part of his painted moustache on her forehead, and she, in return, wipes the Venetian red from her cheeks upon his white satin scarf Grand Tableau triumph of virtue (painted young man and woman) over vice (big dead rascal ) Everybody cries "hooray" curtain goes down. The" appreciating audience congratulate themselves on having done their part to encourage and sustain the "Modern Classic Drama." Had I not been informed by the advertisement of the "Grand Thespian Wigwam" that this was a specimen of a sterling "legitimate Classic Drama," I should have supposed it to be a blood and thunder splurge of another stock transplanted here for the declaration of "upper-tendom" from the rustic shades of the unmentionable Bowery.

Early Character. "There is nothing I despise so much as to see

a boy with a cigar in his mouth." , Thus remarked one of the wealthy and most respected business men of East Boston, standing at the door of the Postoffice waiting for the distribution of letters, as a boy walked in puffing a cigar. Sympathizing somewhat with the gentleman, we fell into the following reflection: ' ' We imagined that in the course of human events, this boy might be induced to apply at the gentleman's counting room for employment. The merchant s remembrance of his act of youthful dissipation would probably not be to the benefit of the applicant. The merchant would be likely to judge unfavorably of the young man's char- 1 acter as to temperance and sobriety, and would think himself justified in doubting the independence and stamina of one who evidently for no better reason than because others do so, and probably because he thought it would give him a manly air, contracted the offensive and unnatural habit of smoking in boyhood. ' The very act would seem to argue mental or moral deficiency, and perhaps both. Little things are sometimes attended with great results. Tire merchant (like a majority of well-bred people) is exceedingly annoyed with the smell of cigar smoke. He despises the practice of smoking, and cannot help noticing the boy who exhibits it, 01 thinking, in such case, what the mental manifestation is. With the boy the act was a trifle, nothing to the man it was" a revelation which told him something of a youth of whom he knew nothing before, and that something was to his discredit. How different would have been the result, if the first act of this buy, noticed by the merchant, had been one that as plainly spoke of integrity and good sense, as thi act of smoking did of weakness and frivolity of character. The man would have remarked that boy, and if it should ever have come in his way to render him a service, no testimony would be needed to secure his favor. I We would fain impress upon the young the great importance of forming good habits. One may forsake his boyhood's errors when he becomes a man; but the chance is that instead of being forsaken they will be aggravated, and take on a rigidity which is like second nature to the individual, as he advances ; into manhood. Knowing this, people judge of young men by what they knew of them when boys unless a subsequent acquaintance gives them better ground for the formation of an opinion. East Boston Ledger. , I Women and Matrimony. Most women possess a talent, and by no, means an uneducated one, for matrimony. At first, with commonminded girls, it evaporates in flirtations; when that does not do, they sijik into the sentimental, quote poetry, and catch vulgar coldsin their heads by 'baying at the mood,' though, if they can help it, not in 'sequestered solitude.' We have known the sentimental continue after thirty; but generally speaking, ladies assume a different character at that antiquated-maidenly period; they become geologists, or conchologists, or moralists, or sectarians, or anything but rationalists! An unmarried woman feels herself desperately circumstanced between thirty and forty she does not consider any of the lords of creation too young or too old she catches at all, and should be especially avoided by minors as well as majors she grows absolutely dangerous when nearing forty, though when once that awful number is passed, we have known the most indefatigable husband-hunter throw up her forlorn hope, and become, even among men. a tolerably safe, and a very agreeable companion There are exceptions: Poor Miss Maxwell was one certainly; for she hunted on, until hunted down by Death. A Smart Dog. A friend of ours has a dog, which used to be very smart. He says . " 1 here wasen t anything in Kentuck that could begin with him, 'cept one. One day we started a bar, a regular snorer. He put right straight off, and the dog after, and I brought up the rear. They wer soon out of sight, but I followed on for a mile or so, and came out at last on a clearing, whare a log hut was, and a feller setting down a smokin' his pipe, as comfortable as possible." " Did you see anything of a dog and a bar goin' by here ?" sez I , "Yes " sez he. ' , " Wal, how was it ?" sez I. " Wal, sez he, taking his pipe out, and drawing his coat sleave across his face, it wer about nip and tuk, though I think the dog had the advantage," "How was that ?" sez I. "Wal, he was 1 trifle ahead !" Characteristic End of a Miser A Mr L., in the neighborhood of Strawsburg, who in addi tion to a constitutional love of money, was a little disordered in mind, went one morning to a rope maker's at the end of the village and bargained for a piece of roap ten feet long. The rope ma ker demanded for it one franc and fifty centimes. This price seemed to Mr. L. to be too high, and he offerd fjr it one france and twentyfive centimes. They could not agree, and Mr. L. went off, returning the next morning to haggle anew for the rope. The rope maker was inexorable, and Mr. L. again retired, but repeated his visit on several successive days. This went on for a month, the same offers and refusals. Finally, one Sunday the rope maker was away, and an apprentice took his place. Will you tnaly consent to let me have this rope for one franc twenty five centum? . The apprentice who did not know what had passed coiled up the rope and put itjinto the hands of the purchaser. An hour after Mr. L. was found suspended on a tree. He had hung himself with this rope .on which he had saved twenty five centimes. , JETKA INSURANCE CO., OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT. CHARTERED ,1819. Cash Capital, - - - - $300,000.
