The play is in three acts, the date modern, the scene is laid in Norway and is a story of one day's life, representing morning, noon and night. It is entirely of a domestic character, a true story in real life, which borders mainly upon the actions of a young and innocent wife addicted to telling white lies," and who does not see the sin of it. Not knowing that it is a crime, she forges her father's name to procure money to save the life of her husband. The motive of the play is a strong one, and the plot interesting.

As runs the old son – "There is something within which speaks," so also there is within us a something which serves a purpose, and all animal creation has it. Stages of developments are numerous and uses varied. Fiddle-strings take their peculiar quality from it as developed in one member of the animal creation, while the gentle sausage derives shape from its most happily constituted character as it is brought into perfection in another member of the animal kingdom. Of late its development has become strikingly apparent in sundry species of the human family, and had the well-known western Senator, who, some years ago, made the aristocracy of it the subject of a popular magazine sketch, waited until quite recently, specimens could have been brought to his attention which would have largely added to the interest of his effort. Now would his pen trace gracefully flowing sentences, not of the aristocracy of it, but of the entire absence of aristocracy without it. The it has become the one all-pervading semblance of personale, and the body that once was so familiar and pleasing to the eye is now no more. All it, big it, and while the world may look on and breathlessly exclaim, "for Heaven's sake, what is it? No one but an experienced artist in sausage, or an old-time manufacturer of violins and other stringed instruments could possible solve the conundrum. Being of peculiar construction, and habituated to absorption, as it expands and assumes proportions, all creation itself could not glut it, while everything on earth is viewed as its own to gobble in at pleasure. Any effort on the part of others to seek now and then a little nourishment in form of railway passenger business is met with an emanation which, if such could be, would straightway kill. However, as the man said who unfortunately lived near a soap and glue factory, the atmosphere is not very salubrious if odoriferous, and soap and glue must be made, if for no other purpose than to render the more pleasing and delightful contact with other things. As the B. & O. is not in the fiddle or the sausage business, even figuratively, it has no use for abnormal developments, either in one way or the other, and having no dime museum to sustain is not in the market for curiosities. It will continue business at the old stand. There will be no exactions in the way of making the public pay the fiddler for dancing not done.
