The writer is blassed, becauan lie was bound to the delightful children's pantomime by cords of the most tender acntiment; prob- aby no other theatre or play in the world will ever create in his heart emotions that were stirred by that charming little effort of the happy children. But it is, something- different to the idea of a comparison that is in the writer's mind just now. It is a desire to express gratitude; and always is difficult to do that without appearing either boorish or fulisome. But there in something fice in the thought that in this litile Colony there are men who will freely
