From Werner's Magazine. .Mr. Livingston Harbour's reading of Dickens' "Christinas Cnrol" at the Na tional Convention of ISlocutionists. New York, June id. ISA-', was one of the few really artistic recitations giv en. He is in the very front rank of our younger readers. From Hon Hugh Vv. Sheffey, Kx .liidge of the Supreme Court of Virginia. He is a cultured gentleman, of high order of attainments in his profession, and certainly one of the most charm ing and entertaining recoiintcrs of poetry and prose I ever heard. ISvory thing lie says is admirable, and the humor of his voice and manner is in imitable. From Cencral (i. W. C. Lee. A. M President, of Washington and Lee I'niversity. Lexington. Va. He is a gentleman of great dignity and simplicity of manner, winning ad dress and earnest purpose. I have formed a high estimate of his native gifts, oT his attainments and of his skill in teaching. His recital here was an education. I trust our students may, have an opportunity of hearing him again. From A. II. Merrill. Professor of IS lo cution, Vnndcrbilt I'niversity. Nashville, Tenn. I have in rely been so pleased and impressed by any reading as in hear ing Mr. IS. 1.. Harbour's rendition of the ISxecution of Sydney Carton, from the Talc of Two Cities, Charles Dick ens, lie read with an nrtistie appre ciation of the dramatic situations and an exquisite refinement of interpre tation.

Dixon Says the Stage is Al ways Itail - No Hope for its Hi pciup tion. Haltiinorc. April V -The Pcv. A. C. Dixon, who is in charge of the I'.ap tist revival meetings which are being conducted at Music Hall., when a re--orter of The Haltiinorc News re marked him yesterday that the stage was not as bad in Haltiinorc as in some places, said; "The stage is vile and bad in'everv place. Instead of saying that you have some bad plays, don't ,ou menu that the management tolerates sonic moral, clean plays in order that it may get the support of the better ele ment in the community and continue to put on immoral plays'.' I do not believe there will ever lie a Christian stage or a orofession of Christian ac tors. Tlie profession of acling is en ervating and jnorally debilitating. It takes away character to act a part. In its vcr essence tragedy is anti- Christian. It is foil ml ol upon revenge. You insult me nnd I'll murder you. That's the plot. It appeals to the ti ger in men. to the animal nature of us all. "The good moral is lost. Hannah Moore believed that the Christian vir tues would flourish on Hie stage and she wrote a play which fell flat. ISd win I tooth said. 'I want a moral stage, and stock in it sold for five cents on the $1. and it is an old ware house now. Henry Irving said, '1 will have n pure stuge.' and the isiliey had to be changed inside of 12 months in order to keep it from ruin. Shel don believes In a moral stage and Christian actors. I used to hope for the rescue of the stage, but I don't, believe in it now. It is bad all through. They send us ministers' tickets when the 'Old Homestead' copied around, but that is put on simply to get our consent to the viler performances w hich n(n the rest of the year. 'The Christian' is an-, other piny which is siUd to appeal to church people. It is the most nn- Christian pluy on the stage. I report!

The theater is largely attended by church people, and -we will have to quit liefore we shnll ever bfcconie able 1 to work for (Jotl. YAUTSEV IMPLI CATES GOV.
