 Others wear costumes appropriate for forty years ago. 
 
 Time of Performance — 20 minutes. 
 
 STA GE DIRECTIONS. 
 
 In the curtain cut two oval holes large enough to show 
 the head and waist of portraits ; over these holes put two 
 pieces of paper, pasted at tlie sides so they can be opened 
 and closed like the opposite leaves of a book. On one of 
 these leaves or covers, print date of present year, on the 
 other that of forty years previous. The actors are all 
 back of curtain ; only one leaf is opened at a time and 
 while that portrait is being shown the next takes position; 
 as quick as verse describing picture is read, close that 
 leaf, giving time for the next picture on that side to pose; 
 variety in posture is necessary and gives opportunity for 
 display of artistic taste ; profiles, upward glances, down- 
 ward caste of head, all these postures must be studied to 
 produce the desired effect. 
 
 No. 16 is not shown until the Reader closes the last 
 verse, then as he bows he opens the leaf and shows the 
 words "good night," which have been printed in black on 
 cardboard. 
 
 Eeader stands in front of curtain and may read or re- 
 cite the description, the latter is preferable.

Cousin John's Album. 
 
 Beade7\ 
 
 Most people have a fancy for albums, 
 
 For faces familiar or strange, 
 So I'll show you the poi*traits I prize most, 
 
 Though all have seen many a change. 
 Pictures of friends, schoolmates and sweethearts, 
 
 You think they're not much of a show? 
 Perhaps not, but I thought them the finest 
 
 They were new forty odd years ago. 
 {opens leaf) 
 
 Here's one! Well, that's my first sweetheart! 
 
 I loved her devotedly once; 
 I sighed and wooed like an old time knight, 
 
 'Tis true! I was just such a dunce. 
 But I got my eyes opened; I tell you, 
 
 I found she was dreadfully cross. 
 So when she jilted me for Sam Thomas, 
 
 I thought it no very great loss. 
 
 {opens leaf) 
 
 And here's Sam himself ! Ah, you poor fellow! 
 
 He's seen pretty tough times, I guess; 
 Been ship- wrecked, failed twice and is hen-pecked, 
 
 The last is the worst, he'll confess! 
 That thick, glossy hair has now vanished, 
 
 He's bald as a pumpkin, they say; 
 With wrinkles all over the once smooth cheeks; 
 
 Yes, yes, Sam's getting old and gray!

 Look! There's a face for an artist to paint! 
 
 Such eyebrows and such a fine nose, 
 Cheeks round and soft as a lily fair, 
 
 She's living yet, I suppose. 
 The last I heard she was in far off lands, 
 
 On a mission to heathens bent, 
 A pious, self-sacrificing young girl. 
 
 Her life to a good cause was lent. 
 
 (ope7is leaf) 
 
 And this was a merry, jolly young lad. 
 
 So full of his fun and gay mirth. 
 In all kinds of mischief and yet wasn't bad, 
 
 Good hearted as any on earth. 
 Went with a circus a couple of years, 
 
 An acrobat, good, I was told; 
 Limp as a rag, swift as a dart. 
 
 He saved up a heap of good gold. 
 
 [opens leaf) 
 
 Here is she that was Samantha Jane Brown, 
 
 Old Brown's eldest daughter, you know; 
 She was once the great belle of Mapleville town 
 
 But that's forty odd years ago. 
 Was spoony myself in that quarter, once. 
 
 But quickly relinquished the dream 
 At the end of the first summer season, 
 
 For oh, how she ate the ice cream! 
 A very fine looking woman, 'tis true! 
 
 Among the best you may rank her. 
 Her home is now on Canadian soil. 
 
 Husband, you know, was a banker! 
 
 [opens leaf) 
 
 And this little face with it's charming smile, I 
 
 A beauty was she, I declare! I 
 
 Such lips as those you don't see every day, ] 
 
 Nor such beautiful curly hair. \ 
 
 She loved me truly, I know that she did; 
 
 "It might have been!" Ah, who can tell? \ 
 
 Fate sent us apart, as fate sometimes does ^ - 
 
COUSIN JOHN S ALBUM. ,5 
 
 Who knows whether wisely and well! 
 Ah, me! I've searched the world over for her, 
 
 From the mountain peak to the shore; 
 If I find her and she's unmarried still, 
 
 A bachelor I'll be no more. ' 
 
 (opens leaf) 
 
 I said 'twas fate, but no! 'twas this girl; 
 
 That quarrel — she made it — I know! 
 A flirt she was, ever ready to plague, 
 
 And I wasn't wise years ago. 
 So she pulled the wool quite over my eyes, 
 
 Pretending to be such a saint — — 
 But she wore false hair and had a glass eye, 
 
 And loaded her face full of paint. 
 
 (opens leaf) 
 
 This fellow is grave enough for a judge. 
 
 Looks some like a parson, you see! 
 But long years ago his shingle swung out 
 
 With the golden letters, M. D. 
 His plasters and pills are famous, I hear; 
 
 They reap him a harvest of gold; 
 But he spends it all as quick as it comes. 
 
 In betting on horses, I'm told! 
 
 (opens leaf) 
 
 Here is his brother and partner as well. 
 
 Another M. D.? Not at all! 
 An undertaker, embalmer is he ; 
 
 I saw him, poor fellow, last fall. 
 
 (opens leaf) 
 
 That was his wife, but now they're divorced! 
 
 The silliest couple I know! 
 Quarrelled over trifles, refused to relent, 
 
 And now live in sadness and woe. 
 
 (oj)ens leaf) 
 
 A schoolmarm, this, you can tell by the lips, 
 The face is determined but true , 
 
 Her trusty rattan she holds in one hand, 
 In the other a text book or two.

 She was once engaged to an English lord 
 
 But gave him the mitten one day, 
 iFor it pained her ears and shocked her nerves 
 That "h" he never could say. 
 
 (opens leaf) 
 
 A famous woman — you have heard of her, 
 
 A speaker of national note; 
 Our country's evils and everyone's needs 
 
 And duty, she knows it by rote. 
 
 {opens leaf) 
 
 Senator Windbag, I now introduce, 
 
 State senator for the year; 
 Too much mouth has he for one of his tribe, 
 
 And scarcely quite enough ear. 
 He lords it about with important airs, 
 
 Thinks we are all blind as bats; 
 He's at State House now, defending the bill 
 
 To protect all the Maltese cats. 
 
 {opens leaf) 
 
 A group of beauties, these four merry girls, 
 
 They certainly posed very well. 
 The brightest maids, with the prettiest bangs 
 
 Floss, Genevieve, Kitty and Nell. 
 A club they organized one summer day, 
 
 And signed a strict pledge not to ride, 
 Walk, talk, flirt or chat with any young man, 
 
 Who, pledge 'gainst tobacco defied. 
 {opG7is leaf) 
 
 A commotion was there, laughable, too! 
 
 These young men would not be outdone, 
 So they quickly formed another queer club. 
 
 A pledge they signed too, just for fun. 
 They promised each other not to invite, 
 
 'Neath penalty of being hanged. 
 For walk, talk, rides or other escort, 
 
 A naaiden who wore here hair banged. 
 The girls were thus left quite out in the cold. 
 
 As the young men had been before, 
 They pouted awhile, vowed never to speak. 
 
 And the pledges were heard of no more. 
 
COUSIN JOHN S ALBUM. 
 
 (opens leaf) 
 
 These pictures all very highly I prize, 
 
 My boyhood history they tell, 
 Of fond hopes unfulfiled, of lover's fears, 
 
 And of strong old friendships as well. 
 Forty odd years! It seems but a day 
 
 Since this album was fresh and new. 
 But it's worn with time and dimmed by dust, 
 
 And it's owner is wearing out, too!
