...results of long meditation upon subjects of actual and faithful investigation. From the contrast between the two kinds of instruction we have received, the belief must come that the Freshman year is only a period of initiation, during which you receive the contempt of all, from the highest official to the goody, in order that you may afterward enjoy their greater favor...
...haste to be rich, the dishonest inclination to live beyond one's means, to equal or outshine others, - these all excite to that demoniacal spirit of evil which leads downwards to destruction, and makes only the difference of a crooked "s" between peculation and speculation, both despoilers of the highest attributes of our nature.

The principal character of the piece, Fra Diavolo, was played by Mr. Goodwin, and his acting deserves the highest praise; all his songs were encored, and his "business" throughout the play was carefully elaborated. Zerlina, the "pretty little dear," was capital, and Mr. French's scene in the bed-chamber was perhaps the most amusing bit of acting in the whole piece. Mr. Mackintosh's make-up as Lady Allcash...
