This region, which has been immortalized by Washington Irving in ''Rip Van Winkle," "Legend of Sleepy Hollow," and other tales, will be picturized in all its beauty and magnificence, and those who have never trod the shores of old Nip and his fellows, or of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman, cannot fail to attend. Mr. Bruce comes well recommended; is a Yale man, and descends from a long line of public speakers. Admission 50 cents to those not holding season tickets. To A Friend. What is a friend? A something more than kin: Dearer than whom the accident of birth Joins to us in enforced love; whose worth, Sterling as gold, unto his friend flows in As flows a mountain burn into a turbid stream And washes it pure; the one in all the earth Whose heart-strings vibrate to our own, in mirth Or bitter woe, the sad heart's gladd'ning beam.
