An Unrehearsed Act. —An • amusing scene occurred during the performance of Formosa, in the Aberdeen Theatre, on Tuesday night, 'September 24, which is thus decribed by the Globe -It happened when, towards the first act of the drama, Bob Saunders, the dog fancier, comes upon the stage, with sundry fancy puppies stuffed, all except the head, into his coat pockets. Bob had just sailed from the riorht wing of the proscenium, when, glanc ing towards the upper private box opposite according to the custom of some experi enced actors, his eye had probably caught that of one of the two male occupants of the box. At that instant Bob had to speak the catchword of the part, “ Buy a little dorg V’ which, of course, was received with laughter by the audience generally ; but the visible feeling of the audience were quickly turned into aston ishment when one of the gentlemen in the box stood up, and with an excited look and in a very distinct Continental protested that he did not want to buy “one dog,” and stated that he thought it a most unusual proceeding on the part of any actor to ask him “ one so wonderful impertinent question!” The actor used all his tact to stave off awkward interruption with a jest, but the stranger, like Mr. Joskin Tubbs, evidently “felt hurt ” ; and, like him, too, persisted in stating his self-made-grievance until Mr. Gomersal also lost his temper, and ordered the interrupting party to be turned out of the theatre. This had ultimately to be done, and the drop scene was rung down. Hans, however, refused to leave the box without his friend, and the two freuden, doubtless with unusually ruffled feelings, were forcibly ejected, after which the per formance went on smoothly. The Fall of Empires. —Of all the Empires whose rise and fall have been recorded in history, there is not one.that has owed its ruin or decay to checking dhe lust of unmeasured territorial acquisition. The wisest of the Roman Emperors was also the one, who even recalled the boun daries of his dominions from beyond the Danube. Everyone can discern and de nounce the private folly of the farmer who convets more and more land when he has neither capital nor skill to turn to account what he has already got ; though lie does not commonly proceed by covenants taken in the dark lest his landlord should come to know what sort of deed he is signing. But it requires a steady eye and a firm resolution to maintain the good tradition of all our bygone statesmen at a juncture when all tradition is discarded for new fangled or, as Roebuck calls them, “ original” devices, and the mind of folly finds utterance through the voice of authority. England, which has grown so great, may easily become little ; through the effeminate selfishness of luxurious living; through neglecting realities at home to amuse herself everywhere else in stalking phantoms ; through putting again on her resources a strain like that of the great French war, which brought her people to misery, and her Throne to peril ; through that denial of equal rights to others, which taught us so severe a lesson at the epoch of the Armed Neutrality. But she will never lose by the modesty in thought and language, which most of all beseems the greatest of mankind ; never by forwardness to allow, and to assert, the equal rights of all states and nations ; never by refusing to be made the tool of foreign cunning, for ends alien to her principles and feelings ; never by keeping her engagements in due relation to her means, or by husbanding those means for the day of need, and for the noble duty of defending, as occasion offers, the cause of public right, and of relational freedom, over the broad expanse of Christendom.— The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, in the Nineteenth Century;
