The drama was dnt produced at a Harlem theatn duiing the present aeaaon, when the atoiy appeared In theae columns. Hr. Scully haa attempted to weave an InlsresUng story abont the life of a young postman, amid New York (Aty anmundlngi, and In the main haa anc- ceeded In tnmlig ont onlte a well constructed tale, U we allow onr ImaijlnaUon full play regarding what oould befaU the aforesaid young postman. Of conns he lovee a young lady, and, aa naturally fdlown, then la a had man who tries to destroy our hen'a hspplneas, Ihrongh an accusadon of murder, and also by b7log, through the meanest of methods, ta win the hand In marriage ot the girl to whom he la betrothed. The author haa not employed any new methods In plot or de- nouement to ahow us the ilghlfnl triumph of vtttns ever vica, and there an few sltuadons or climaxes to compare even favorably with dramaa oftheUnd. Tbe last scenes are those of the New York Post once and Old Hirlem Bridge by moon- light.
