...Shakespere is a stunner. (I looked at the volumes; they were uncut, and Othello was standing on his head; I sympathetically put him on his feet) "And this set of Marryat's works looks very well on the shelves." (The books certainly did encumber enough space for Thackeray and Jane Austen's works and looked as if they at least had been read.) And so he went on. He had already "ragged" a sign, bearing the inscription "Harvard Laundry," which brilliant witticism he intended to hang over his mantel...
...just finished reading the last chapter of that old, dirty, torn copy of Jane Eyre which belongs to the University Library, and which has been read evidently by thousands of dirty-fingered students, some of whom have greatly enhanced the intrinsic value of the book by wise criticisms and marginal sarcasm. The sombre cast of the tale made me gloomy. I thought of my degree and the chance I had of obtaining it. I hastily reviewed in my mind the three years I had already gone over, and thought how many mistakes I had made. Why had I not chosen...

...mood. The part of Glubb showed no trace of having been "assumed on short notice." Mr. Tinkler displayed more taste in selecting his wife than his clothes, and his mode of treating the household Glubbs reminded one of his patent. In her attempt to calm her fluttering heart, Miss Jane received well-merited applause The quotations of Miss Sarah must have been well appreciated by those in front, although nothing but the poetical cadence of her voice reached the farther seats. Maggie was so natural, so straightforward, that every one was pleased to have her turn out the Cinderella...
Boston Theatre.The return of Miss Maggie Mitchell, one of Boston's favorites, has been received with crowded and enthusiastic houses. The play last week was "Jane Eyre," a play which gives full scope to Miss Mitchell's superior abilities as an actress. Mr. Shewell, another old Boston favorite, furnished a fine support as Lord Rochester, while the rest of the cast was very creditable.
