In penning the following pages I have endeavored to be truthful. In looking back upon the scenes through which I passed, I have sought to penetrate the veil of glamour Time trails behind him as he flies ,and to see things exactly as they were to see the rough road as well as the smiling landscape, the briers and brambles as well as the green grass and the waving trees. Now, however ,that my task is done, and duty no longer demands that memory should use a telescope, the mellowing haze of distance resumes its sivay, and the Stage again appears the fair, enchanted ground that I once dreamt it. I forget the shadows, and remember but the brightness. The hardships that I suffered seem now but picturesque incidents ;the worry only pleasurable excitement I think of the Stage as of a lost friend. I like to dwell upon its virtues and to ignore its faults. I wish to buiy in obliinon the bad, bold villains and the falsehearted knaves who pjayed a part thereon, and to think only of the gallant heroes, the virtuous maidens, and the good old men.
