Fie had during the previous week played at the Louisville Theater, then under the same management and to which place a portion ol the Cincinati ootnpuny had been sent to .support Jiiin.

Amongst these was Sam It—," one of the "respectable utility" people, to whom liacket did not* show, as Sam thought, that amount of respect due from one actor to another.

Hacket seemed to single poor Sam out, as the particular object upon which to ooncentrate all his peevishness and illnature, and though Ham had to grin *nd bear it, he made up his mind to be revenged, and swore it, in the most •v melo-dramatic and stagely style. Accordingly, when Hacket transferred himself and his baggage to Cincinnati,

And Sam received orders from Dave Sarsedas, the stage manager, to return with him, ho chuckled with delight xnd looked unutterable things as lie took hit* parting drink with his brother artist*, at tho bar the fast steamer I'ike, No. IV.

The rehearsal passed oil' in the morning iu Cincinnati, without any demonsration. The star was more exacting than ever with poor Sam, who bore all w.th "a itient s'irug," «u I bided his timewiui all the coolness be could muster.

Night camo, and with it a crowded house, for Hacket at that time was in he zenith of his popularity, and on his uppearance tho audience rose almost 'h Mfli.li', and round aftor round of lioarty, welcoming applause greeted lilm. lie looked splendidly his make-up was admirable, and in his false obesity, be was the living embodiment of the hearty, sly, witty, vagabondizing, fat knight.

The dress he wore was one in which lie took great prido, and was of his own invention. It was constructed on the principle of life-preserver, and after leing put on, it was blown up, by means of a lube, until it assumed the necessary rotundity, and the wearer was surrounded by an immeuso air rhitiubcr.

Thi" made the dress light, cool, and portable, and was in all respects a threat improvement upon the molhod of stuffing.

As the play progressed on the night in question,*the audience grow more and more delighted In front, and Sam was seen by his brother Actors, to grow juore and more cxcltod behind.

At lust a scene came, iu.which Ilackvt had the stage to himself, and the *tarstood in the entrance waiting for his ••ue to go on, and close tiohina stood Sam lookingdaggers, with a carpenter's brad-awl In Ills hand.

The cue was given, and In wont Hacket. But he had not commenced Ills scene, when amid the death-like dlonco of the audience, an audible and prolonged hiss was heard.

Hacket scowled and looked about lilm, into tho pit-box»» and gallery, in search of the vile wretch who had dar•d to hlsg him.

Hut the hiss continued, and Hacket *omuienced Ills linos. Hiss! again! lie stopped and otico more looked about him, but the hiss continued, and grew -'loader every moment. The audience ried "order." Several enthusiastic individuals shouted, "put him out," but still the hissing continued. Again

Hacket commenced his soliloquy but that infernal hiss still rang in his ears, and he could not go on.

The Jaudience now began to titter. The star grew more and more nervous, and walking down to the toot-lights, lie appealed to the audience to know -t he luse of "those marksof disapproval and this ebullition of mirth."

The only tesnonse was burst of 'laughter, and the star stood looking unutterable things, and loxt in wonder ~*'i:»nd amazement at this unaccountable (demonstration.

A a no to a in moment, that abominable hiss again areeted his ear?*, but now it nee men to i-ome troin behind him, aiul as he turn«d half around, another shout of laughter drove him nearly niiui, as he |»er-o-eired that not onlr the audience, but ihe actors who lis connrcgat«d at the vntranws, joined in the mirth, none louder than Nam K~, win we face was IwrlWjtly resplendent with delight.

MOW J'A LHTA FF LOST HIS FA T. Some years ago, when the renowned lUrou lJ*cketrevolved in regular orbit acid was a regular star, instead of the eriatic comet he is now, when he perform* but semi occasionally, and drop* down like a June bug upon some managers in distress, who seize him for "one night only," he commenced an engagement of six nights in the old National Theater, Cincinati, appearing in his favorite character of Falstaff in the Morrv Wives of Windsor,

doned the business to go into the ministry and preach to the heathen. W'ell, the elders of his church got np a Sunday school picnic, it appears, ana, when the people all arrived upon the grounds, it was with pain they perceived that the provisions bad not arrived.

A meeting of the vestry was called, and after a brief consultation it was decided that the only thing which could be done to meet the emergency was to barbecue the minister.

The inducement to this course was all the stronger because his salary was six months in arrears, and the eliurch was entirely out of funds.

So these benighted heathens built a huge fire, and seizins the missionary, they began to strip him and stick him with forks to see if he was tender.

In order to save himself he immediately mesmerized each member of the vestry, and when thev were all '*lxed he called up the Sunday school scholars, class by class, and put them comfortably to sleep.

Having them all completely under his influence, he gave an entire class to each one of the vestrymen, and assured them that the innocent children were the most luscious kind of missionary.

Thereupon the hvpnothized vestry immediately ate up the somnambulistic Sunday school and picked the bones clean.

The missionary was a conscientious man in the performance of his sacredotal functions, so he read the funeral service over each class as it disappeared.

This done, he whispered to the magnetized wardens that their fellow vestrymen were also succulent propagators of the eospel in heathen lands whereupon tne unconscious wardens instaneously fell upon their colleagues, and In a few minutes the whole vestry was in process of assimilation.

There remained now but two wardens, and the missionary, having prevailed upon the younger and more vigorous of the two to eat the other, then seized the slumbering body *f his converted but erring brother, and stood it on its head in the fire,

The missionary went honie from that distressing picnic, and he went with a heavy heart.

When he got home they asked where the rest of the folks were, and he said they were up there in the woods having tun in their untutored way.

And then he packed his truuk, and got over the back fence all of a sudden, and borrowed a canoe, and paddled away to some sunnier clime where the heathen rage loss furiously, and where the popular appetite for warm clergymen is not so intensely vivid.

Ho has written to the United States to advise all tho Divinity Schools to establish a Professorship of Mesmerism, and we think there is a certain amount of judiciousness in the advice. '•f

TELL YOUR WIFE.

If you are in trouble or a quandary tell your wife—that is if you have one —all about it at once. Ten to one her invention will solve the difficulty sooner than all your logic. Tho wit of woman has been praised, but her instincts are quicker and keener than her reason. Counsel with your wife, or your mother or sister, and be assured light will break upon your darkness. Women are too commonly adjudged as verdant in all but purely womanish affairs. Xo philosophical student of the sex thus judges them. Their intuitions, or insights are subtile, and if they cannot see a cat in the meal, there is no cat thore. In counseling a man to toll his troubles to his wite, we would go farther and advise him to keep none of his affairs secret from her. Many a home has been happily savod and "many a fortune retrieved by a man's full confidenco In his "better half."

Woman Is far more a seer and a prophet that a man, if she have a fair chance. As a general rule, wives confide the minutest of their plans and thoughts to their husbands, having no luvolvoments to screen from them. Why not reciprocate, if but for the pleasure ol meeting confidenco with confidence? We aiv certain that no man succeeds so well in the world as he who taking a partner for life, makes her tho partner fur all his purposes and hopes. What is wrong of his impulses or ludgment she will check or sot right with her hlmost universally right instincts. "Helpmeet" was no insignificant title, as app'ied to man's companion. She is a meet help to him in every darkness, difficulty, and sorrow of life. And what she most craves and inost deserves, is confidence—without which love is never free from shadow.

Thr French Assembly is chaos.. Tho Republic is a myth, a splendid possibility, a dream—anything but a present fact. The crime of the Empire consisted in incapacitating the people for governing theiyselves. It educated backward, cultivated imbecility, suppressed statesmanship, put a premium upon sycophancy, and dignified dolts. It spent twenty years in making itself a necessity by unfitting the nation for anything better. Napoleon broke the legs of thirty million Frenchmen that thov should make him their crutch an{ now that the wooden thing has been snatched out of their hanrts and thrown away we behold a nation of cripples! Tliat is the whole story in a nutshell. The National Assembly, chosen to arrange the terms of jwace with (ierinaiiy decree* the Republic, nnd then f'sirs to dinwilve lest other delegate* shall fill its seals. It is honeyooinlxMl with faction, led by incompeI tence, and presided over by a learned and brilliant whim, who tiles into a pet I anJ threaten- i« resign whenever nis caprices are denied.
