tform is to be two feet high and four feet square;
on this is placed a large chair, with a canopy over the top, all of
which must be trimmed with crimson cloth, and decorated with gold
paper. On each side of the throne, place seats to accommodate twelve
persons; those in front can be seated, while others, in the
background, should be standing; they must assume various positions; a
few may be engaged in conversation, while others are looking at David.
Saul is seated on the throne, with the right hand resting on the arm
of the chair, his body slightly bent forward, and eyes fixed on
David. His countenance expresses pleasure. David is seated on a low
ottoman in the foreground of the picture. The harp rests on the floor.
Position so that a side view is had of the body. His head is thrown
back; eyes cast upward; face expresses pleasure. The light for this
picture should come from the front and the left side of the stage, and
must be quite brilliant. The harp can be made of wood, covered with
gold paper, and strung with yellow cord. The music should be of a
sacred and inspiring style.

To arms, to arms, ye brave!
The avenging sword unsheathe!
March on, march on, all hearts resolved
On victory or death."

Seven Female and Six Male Figures.

This tableau is an ideal representation of Liberty, and is represented
by thirteen persons--seven young ladies and six young gentlemen. In
the background of the picture a platform is raised, on which stands
the Goddess of Liberty. This platform is three feet high and four
feet square. The front is covered with blue cambric, with a border of
red, decorated with gilt stars. In the centre is placed a gilt eagle;
on each end of the platform is a small American shield. The background
is draped with American flags. On each side of the platforms are
placed inclined planes, extending from the corners of the platform to
the front corners of the stage; the height of these at the front
should be six inches, and three feet high at the background. They are
to be covered with white cloth, and ornamented with a border o
