expressing serenity and hope. Charity comes next. In her
right hand she holds a silver dish, which is filled with crumbs of
white bread. Two robins stand on the side of the dish, eating the
crumbs. The left hand rests on the side of the body; the eyes are
directed to the birds; the face beams with smiles. Love is standing on
one of the pedestals, holding in her right hand a torch, which is
raised above her head, while the left gracefully holds the side of her
dress. The head should be turned slightly aside, the eyes looking
straight forward; countenance diffused with smiles. A gauze curtain
may be suspended before the statues, covering the entire space inside
of the frame. The light for this scene should be of medium brilliancy,
and come from the front of the stage. The cross and anchor may be
painted black, the torch painted blue, and tipped with gold; the flame
carved in wood, and gilded. Stuffed birds can be fastened with wire
springs, and attached to the silver dish. Music soft and plaintive.

THE DEATH OF GENERAL WARREN.

Thou rising sun, thou blue rejoicing sky,
Yea, every thing that is and will be free,
Bear witness for me, wheresoe'er ye be,
With what deep worship I have still adored
The spirit of divinest Liberty.

COLERIDGE.

Twenty-five Male Figures.

This magnificent tableau represents the scene so well known in the
early history of our country, and contains twenty-five figures,
thirteen of which should be dressed in crimson uniform, to personate
the British soldiers, six in continental costume, three in coarse
homespun suits, three in sailor's costume. The stage must be formed to
represent a hill, which can be done by using boxes and boards, and
covering them with green cloth. The hill should rise from the
footlights to within four feet of the ceiling in the background. The
first and principal figure is General Warren. He is lying on the
ground, a few feet from the foot of the hill, supported by one of his
officers, who holds his head with his right hand, while with the left
he grasps the musket of a British soldier, which is pointed at the
breast of Warren. Warren's position is, facing the audience, eyes
closed, arms hanging carelessly at his side; costume, continental;
side arms, sash, sword, and chapeau lying in front of the body. The
figure who supports Warren is dressed in blue breeches, white hose,
white shirt, and black belt. Position, kneeling back of War
