AN ACTOR'S ROMANCE.

Nobody unacustomed to facing an audience knows the distinctness with which every upturned face is visible to the actor Hpeaker, singer, or public per-

former. Kvery ripple of mirth, every wave of dissatisfaction, can be traced in the sea of faces, as many anunfortunate candidate for stage honors knows to his or her cost. Here, among the auditors, the eyo detects a sneer, there smil®, alternately encouraging and discouraging thoso who are treading tho boards, and dependent uponu shifting public favor for lame and daily bread.

Will Harper, the "juvenile man of «the Arcadian Dramatic Constellation, was thinking of this as he was going through his part before an audience in 8t. Louis, one night. In fact, Will .Harper was apt to be thinking too much of something else, and too little 'of his part, else he might have made better progress in his profession lor the Arcadian Dramatic Constellation did not embrace many lnininious stars, and was a travelling company of rather mediocre merit. This was the lirst night of its two weeks' season at one of the St. Louis theaters, and the audience was large and Will, when not actively engaged in the business of the jilay, covertly Btudied the faces before

"There's a man," he thought to hlm- $ self, "who couldn't be made to laugh by unus himself—his faco looks as solemn as a tombstone and there a jollyfaced woman who would laugh without knowing why, Just for pure good nature. And, by jingo! there the prettLr est laco I evor saw!"

Of course, tho faco that so excited Will Harper's admiration was that of a woman. She WHS young—scarcely lwenty—with light golden hair, and features delicately regular. Tho heat of the crowded house added a feverish glow to her fair complexion, and her neat, daintly stylish dress was in perfeet taste. No wonder that Will, wCllnigh ontranced by the lovely face, almost missed his "cue," or that he playfeed better when once he got fulrly startled, knowing what eyes were upon him.

Will was only a tolerable actor, not so much from inability as from carele-s-ness but the interest which he road in the girl's face whenever ho co&ld catch a glimpse of it, and a sudden, strange deslro to pleuso bur, Inspired him to unwonted effort. His character in the play was full of loTO-making, and WHS /what ho ttrtned "devilish spooney but, as ho now playod, he made oi it something quite respectable.

That night Will dreamed of the pret'%ty face, whlob was rather remarkable, seeing that he was no ladies' man, and 0infliied his (liningand love-making to his stave assumptions. During the iVinoxt day he sauntered aimlessly about tho streets, which wore new and strange to Liim, with a shadowy hope ofseelngthe 'at esouiowhero, but in vain.

On 1 no following night, however, ?thoro was aehango of bill, and as Will's ,eyes searched tho house his heart suddenly gave a big bound. There sat the olijoot of his interest, just where she had sat IK*lore, and looking moro beSwitching. Ho noticed this timo that a 'man, somewhat her senior, sat at her ^pldo, and he promptly conceived for that man the deepwt dislike.

I suppose, though,'* ho said to him-

5'v'solf.

"he's her undo, or older brother,

t*or something of that sort. O, what ^wouldn't I gave to know her. Rut I .mustn't got spooney over a girl that 1 don't and never shall know."

Tho next day,w ith his mind still filled with tho haunting face, Will Har-

wouldn't be any use in ine tag-

"glng her about the street, and she'd 'take mo for a simpleton it she caught .me at it. I'll let her go— no I won't either."

Tho last sentiment prevailed, and he started on.keeping her Muttering skirts In sight. To do this he was obliged to "lesson the distance between them, for 41t was already getting dark. He had nearly caught up with her, and was again cursing bis folly, when an occur renco—a very ordinary and unromantio '—•threw the fair one plump into his .arms. A slip, an effort to save herself from a fall, a dexterous (possibly stagelearned) movement by Will, and she lav for an instant supported in Ms em-

squarely on her feet again, blushing like a school-girl and Will stood rather awkardly bowing. He knew that the proper thing for him to do waa to accept the ladyv thanks, and pass oa but be also saw, or hojped, that the incident afforded a possible peg whereon tohangan acquaintance.

The walk is very slippy," he rentured, which wsui not the case as he in* sUntly saw. He turned red, and stammered, "that is, it's so dark, I mean, one cannot—"

I am obliged to TOO for saving me jfrom a fall,"said the girl, coming to Skis relief wtth a good-natured smile.

She started on, and Will, astonished at his own audacity, kept at her side. Then he surprised himself and her by offering her his arm, taking advantage •f the last deepening darkness.

And she took it, after giving him a look halt qnlssioal, half wondering. Tho truth waa that ahe at onoe recognised him as the actor whom she had Men at the theatre, and who had sines been in her mind quite aa much aa ahe had been in hia. "You 1. re doing a very audacious thing, and I a very fbolish one." ahe •aid. oalf disengaging her little glovtd hand fro at his arm.

Dont say that," he replied, earueei-

ly. "I own that lhax0 dqato aa Ungggttl minly act, but, b«ieve me, you sirfgr no disrespect when you do not resgnt the affront I hat«i given inaddQessing you. I ha^e atf* yotr fa»e twice before, aord—Conscious that he must stop or 8m something absurd, he did the latter.

For a half dolen blocks they walked, during which the conversation had not flagged. At this point the girl released his arm. ,,

Here you must Ieav6 me, Mr. Harper," she said. "It is too late f6# me to be alone in the street, and I will take a street car."

And shall I never see you again be said, and his tone seemed to convince her of his respectful sincerity.

She hesitated befcre answering, and there was evidently a struggle between propriety and strong desire.

It I can meet you without my motires being misconstrued,"—and her eyes more than her lips explaiued her meaning—"I will do so."

Thank you," and Will, growing assurance, gently pressed her arm in his.

And they did meet again and again, bnt always with secresy. She explained that being seen with Will would compromise her, and he attribute it to his profession.

Addie Grey, he had learned from her lips, was her name, and in the rapture ot his sudden love for her, he inquired nothing more. That she was well-to-do her richness of clothing showed that she was educated and refined was equally evident that she was honest and pure in thought he hsd no reason to doubt, and that she was madly in in love with him he drew from her own SW66t lipS»

The two weeks of Will Harper's stay in St. Louis flew fast, and the lovers found themselves compelled to bid each other adieu.

But why need we do so?" said Will, as he drew the fair girl to his breast. "We love each other, why need we part at all If you would only share my poor fortunes, Addie

A sudden pallor overspreading her features, a convulsive sob, stopped them.

Oh, Will! I was so happy I hadn't thought of parting. I can't live without you, Will. I will follow you anywhere."

But your father, your relatives?" I have none." And the man who was with you at the theatre?"

He is my husband!" Will Harper turned as pale as death, and almost staggered from her.

Is this true?" he gasped.

Will Harper did not realize the heroism of his reply. No, my darling," he said, with a forced steadiness in his voice "I must not let your love for ine ruin you. Be an honest wile, Addie, and don't see me again. Good-by."

He pressed a kiss upon her lips and was gone. The company left the next day, and Will Harper with it. Frrquently Addie read or him in the prints, and she took a sorrowful pleasure in following his professional movements but her love for him never relaxed, nor her gratitude for his self-sacrifice.

Five years passed, during which his parting advice never quit her miud. Be an honest wife," she would often repeat to hersolf. Will said so, and I will do it 1"

When her husband sickened she nursed him with a wifely tenderness, and when ho finally diea, she bad no accusation to make against herself for failure in the performance of duty.

For more than a year after her husband'j death she did not see her lover, and then by chance in a Chicago theatre. His eyo singled her out in the audience, and he instantly interpreted the mourning dress aright. The next day he sought her out, and although he offered 110 words of mock condolence ho did not insult a possible grief by hurriedly pressing his suit. A few evenings in each other's 'Society, however, convinced both that tho old love had lost none of its intensity.

And I am so glad, Will," said Addie, "that I followed your advice, that I romained an honest wlfo even to an unloved husband."

For by having remained honestly his," added Will," "you havo at last become honestty mine."

A LITTLE MORE CIDER, IOO.

How They Did Thirty Years Ayo.

Recalling some memories of the Harrison campaign of 1840, the Missouri Democrat says:

A Whig demonstration was conducted in the following manner: Several days before the appointed time the local committees would oall for volunteer teams and wood-choppers to go to the woods to cut and haul buckeye logs. Enough of these to build a good sized cabin would be piled in the place selected for the big meeting. A thorough canvass of the the town and neighborhood would then be made to ascertain how many visitors each Whig family could gratuitously accommodate with bed and board for a day and night, there being a general understanding that everybody was to keep "the lalchstring out," and houses dispensing hospitalities were designated by flags displayed from the Windows. Immense delegations from neighboring towns would oegin to pour in the night before the meeting, many of them making a two days' journey to reach the place, and these were lodged and fed gratuitously at the villages on the way. The ceremonies of the next day would begin with the inauguration ot aloe cabin built from the green buckeye Riga, in which exercises the multitudes bore an active part, singing songs and drinking barrels of elder. This waa followed by apeechea In some convenient grove, ana at night the crowd would atart on their homeward journey, or to the next meeting, where the name scenes wonld here-enacted. Frantic Whigs ate buckeyes, and men, women and children seemed for weeks together to give them tie business of politics. The excitement waa kept up after the

MOTHER EVE'S SERVANT GIRL. "Can any one tell why, when Eve was manufactured from one of Adam's ribs, a hired girl wasn't made at the same time to wait on her?"

Becauso Adam never came whining to Eve with ragged stockings to be darned, a collar-string to be sewed on, or glove to be mended "right away, quick, now!" Because he never read the newspaper until the sun goes down behind the palm trees, and then, stretching himself, yawned out, "Ain't supper most ready, my dear?" Not he. He made the fire, and hung over the tea-kettle himself, we'll venture, and pulled the radishes, peeled the bananas, and did everything else that he'd ought to. He milked tho cow, fed the chickees, and looked after the pigs himself. He never brought home half a dozen friends to dinner, when Eve hadn't any fresh pomgranates, and the mango season was over. He never stayed out until eleven o'clock to a "ward meeting," hurrahing for an out and out candidate, and then scolded because poor dear Eve was sitting up and crying inside the gates.

At the first stroke his courage failed, and from that time until the whole twenty-five lashes had been administered, he kept up a continuous scream of agony, occasionally crying, "Have mercy, doctor, I'm being murdered."

The second victim was a young follow twenty years ol age, named John Talbout, who, at Maidstone, on the 22d of July, held a laboring man named Pritchard by the throat, whilst two other men robbed him of a few half pence, etc. The sentence in his case was thirty lashes and seven years penal servitude.

Ladies and geutieman, at the request ot the principal performers in the play of this evening, I am to inform you that the person absent is Mr. Emry."

The 'he house received this explanation without any disapprobation or otherwise. (Emery at this period, although a very pathetic actor, had not arrived at tbe summit of excellence, and on this evening the part of the sentinel was given to him.) Scarcely had Mr. Kemble quitted the stage, when, dressed in a great coat, dirty boots, and a face red with haste and wqt with perspiration—on rushed the culprit. Emery stayed some moments before the audience, apparently much agitated, and at length delivered himself to this effect: "Ladiesand gentleman, this is the first time I have ever had to appear before you as an apologist. As I have been the sole cause of the delay in your entertainment, allow me shortly to offer you my excuse, when, I am sure, I shall obtain an acquittal, especially from tbe fair part of this brilliant audience. Ladies—for you I must particularly address—my wife—and I—thunders of applause interrupted the apolo gy and ran for the doctor—"

You've said enough 1" exclaimed a thousand tongues. I could not leave her, ladies, until I knew that sbe was safe—" "Bravo, Emery, you've said enough!" was re-echoed from all parts ol the house.

Emery was completely overpowered and, after making another ineffectua tlcmpt to proceed. laceu his hand on his heart and bow-

attempt to proceed, retired, having first laceu his hand on his heart and bowgratefully to all parts of tho house.

Tlie play proceeded without interruption but .it appeared Emery had not forgotten his obligation to Kemble for in that scene, before the prison scene, in which Rolla tries to corrupt the sentinel by money, the following strange interpolation occurred in tho dialogue "T

ments about us, tbe gorgeous sky, tho imperial sun, are not too good for tbe human race. Elegance fits man. But do we not value tbeso tools of housekeeping a little more than they are worth, and sometimes mortgage a home for tho mabogony we would bring into it I bad rather eat tny dinner off the head of a barrel, or dress aftpr tbe fashion of John the wilderness or sit on a block all my life, than cousUiqi all myself before I g«t to a home and take io much pains with the outside that the inside was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is a

reat thing, but beauty of garments, and uirnlture, is a very tawdry ofnameBt WstnpaTed with domestic love. All the elegance In tho world will not make a home, and I would give more for a spoonful of real hearty love than for whole ship loads of furniture, and all the gcrrgeousness that all the upholeterers of the world could gather together.—[Theodore Parker.
