Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of Time. Some of our readers may think this quotation rather irrelevant to an advertisement regarding a Minstrel Company, but we shall endeavor to prove its entire appropriateneSS' WILL YOU READ ON. Now the sense in which we take the word '•GREAT" Is this ; If a man labors for his country's weal and his country's good, that man is " GREAT." If a man succeeds by mental or physical toil in raising himself to a position of eminence amongst his fellow creatures, that man is " GREAT." If a man succeeds by manly, straightforward conduct in placing himself in a position in which he becomes the ligitimate and honest envy of right-thinking humanity, that man is " GREAT." If a man strikes out a bold, honest course in whatever business he may be in and gains the desired goal, is copied by others as a perfect pattern, and is unanimously applauded by the people, that man is " GREAT." Herein lies the appropriateness of the quotation : We have deviated from the well-known and well-trodden paths of MINSTRELSY, We have adopted a style entirely our own, We have gained the most complete success possible to attain, We have imparted a higher tone to Minstrelic art, We are imitated by others, and we are receiving the highest eulogiums from the entire Press and Public. Most assuredly when we have departed will we have left "Footprints on the sands of Time." Mr Hugo is the first to introduce these prices into the colonies —• Circle, 2s ; Stalls, Is ; Pit, Gd.
