holding the pink ribbons and whip, which is made of a
long, slender branch of the willow, with a few leaves on the extreme
end. The countenance expresses pleasure and animation.

Seven small misses personate the fairies, and their costume consists
of a short white dress, decorated with silver spangles. Strips of blue
ribbon, one inch wide, should be placed around the skirt, running from
the waist to the bottom of the skirt; these must be three inches
apart. The waist is made of blue silk, and trimmed with silver paper
and spangles. The hose are flesh color; shoes, white satin; the head
is encircled with a wreath of flowers; the hair should be arranged in
short curls, and small wings formed out of wire, covered with gauze,
and ornamented with silver spangles, are fastened to the back of the
waist. The fairies should stand in double files, one couple standing
on the first platform, one on the second, and one on the third; they
should be three feet apart, standing in the form of a half circle, so
that each will be seen. One hand should grasp the pink ribbon, while
the other is raised, holding a small bunch of flowers. The fairy
footman's costume is like the others, and the position is on the back
of the car, both hands upon the back of the seat, and at the same time
holding the ends of a long wreath, which arches over the head of
Flora.

The light should come from the side of the stage where the fairies
stand, where should be burned a small quantity of the whitish-blue
fire. Music lively.

THE SPECTRE BRIDE.

But, soft; behold! lo, where it comes again!
I'll cross it, though it blast me.--Stay, illusion!
If thou hast any sound, or use of voice,
Speak to me:
If there be any good thing to be done,
That may to thee do ease, and grace to me,
Speak to me;
If thou art privy to thy country's fate,
Which, happily foreknowing, may avoid,
O, speak!
Or, if thou hast uphoarded in thy life
Extorted treasures in the womb of earth,
For which, they say, you spirits oft walk in death,
Speak of it. Stay and speak!

SHAKSPEARE.

Twelve Female and Twelve Male Figures.

This interesting and imposing tableau is taken from a legend, which
has been handed down from generation to generation among the villagers
living in the neighborhood of Glenburne Castle, England. The story,
probably as authentic as many which are often heard of in those
districts,
