 ARGUMENT. 
 
 The Flowers meet in a secluded dell in the forest, to choose their 
 Queen. A person discontented with the world, seeks, in the same place, 
 retirement from its cares and disappointments. The Flowers tell of love 
 and duty ; and the Recluse— learnin<? that, to fill well the station allotted 
 by Providence, is to be happy— resolves to return again to usefulness and 
 contentment among her fellow creatures. 
 
 N. B.— The Stratford Juvenile Select Choir will be supplemented by 
 a number of adult voices, special reference beinyf made of Mrs. Hove, of 
 Brar.tford, late of London, England, who will be heard in Stratford for 
 the first thne. The above is an accomplished professional vocalist. The 
 Children's Operetta is replete with charminj^ numbers andj||k F.eeland 
 asks for the same liberal patrona*(e for his Choir as in formei'^ars.
