JtAVHEL A aIt SOKTAff. The Une? n or the Dr?ma.tiu and Lyric St?gc. [From the Galaxy. Among the half dozen netresses whom I have known, two, who are no longer living? Soiling and Rachel?let! Impressions upon me, as women, that I am sure will never ho ob scured bv lime's attrition. Hoth wore of humble birth, and both were remarkable for the distinguished elegance ot their manners, but with tills difference?that Sonlng, charm ing anil elegant on thestnge, wus more charm ing and Hemmt in private; while Rachel, who behind the footlights, wns the Ideal of n queen or n great Indy of the old school, In private, although courteous and well mannered, show ed the" stamp of her origin and her pro fession?how, 1 cannot tell, but there It wus, unmistakably. Sontag, If she had been born Countess do Rossi, or for that matter, do Monlniorenci, could not have shown In her personal hearing nobility of a higher or sim pler type; but on the Rtage she was surpassed In this respect by tho Jewess, who, as unable In private to conceal her breeding as her nice, showed yet upon the stage tho command and graclousness of those who are born In the purple. Saving this, one day, to the lato eccentric Count (Turowskl, I was pleased and not sur prised to have the curt reply, "Out I Rachel is iheone-^y grand dairio on dthe tay-ahtro." Sontag, when 1 knew her, was a mature wo man,'and my senior by many years; aud yot^ notwithstanding this, and a knowledge of the world besides,' that showed Itself In all she did and mid. and which rivalled that of-her gam bling husband, she seemed to me to diffuse around her all the Influences of voiithfulness and ylvacRx,. A..freshness M delicate, us, the first pe r l'uni es of early spri tig whs hers, an u rj aflectVd 'softness or rndnhPf,'that "trad'the' gratefulness of balm, arid Its fragrant virtue. She had t he tenderness nrrdcrlspncss of youth, without Its greenness. 1 have rarely ' met a girl of Seventeen so young as Bontng was at i he age of forty-live. I have said nothing ol her beauty,-for that was well known to all men; and when I saw it still preserved, I then lirsl recollected that 1 bad heard ol it before 1 was old enough to know what woman's beauty was; luit. I had not heard of her hand, which' was bcautlfld enough to worship, as-we may worship all perfection. I And this woman, BO beautiful, so winning In hor ways, so charming as a sinner and an actress, was -also clover in the most attract Ivo form or female cleverness. She talked well, with sententloii?ness nnd without, learning: she hud humor, us much os becomes a-truly feminine woman. ' ; -. I shall never forget her description of tho pompons dullness of the dinners and the even ings at the ootinl ry ItoilfCB Of English nobli> men and gentlemen to which she was invited, after her marriage with'Count..Rossi and re-. 11 renient from the Stage.! The essays In gal lantry of men who had been fox hunting or shooting all day, and who had come home tired abd hungry to got t Item selves up in fes tive up] inn-I. and to -cat a hearty dinner und drink heavy wine, were not much to hor taste; although If she Were half oS lively under their infliction as sho was in describing it, she must have been a priceless creature amid all- that dullness, only one Indication of her humble origin and of solf-consclousncss escaped' her, I happened to. mention that I had followed n procession, In a largo city, for the purpose of observing the people called out by He passage, and that I. hod found the prettiest women among: those in the lower condition of life, i "Ah,"1 Hlie said, slightly dropping hor eyelids, "It Is always bo." Her sudden death In Mexi co wns generally attributed to polaon, her. hus band, it is said, huving thus ' avenged himself of her love'for a tenor singer who was In their company.. 1 have never believed this etory. Count Rossi may not have been too good a. man thus to relievehlin6clf'of a woman who, by her own exertions, had restored him, I'd a great pleasure at- least, the fortune ho had wasted ; but sho laved, tbo un worthy ' htisfcrind for whom she labored. ... Rachel .talked move, of the stage and of lit erature ' than, Sontag did.' She" made an ad mission1 to mc one cvcnl ng that \vas surprising." She had been playing Pii drc with grandeur and great power over the emotions or her au dience; but ehe epoko.. to me with a nntural mut biic never BXirpaseed on llio stage- of her weariness of French tragedy, of the sentl mentalU,y,;tte proslnes.1 and Its stilted verse. "Oh, that Iliad leariietl English, that I might play Shakespeare ! but now It fs too late." "What, are .you not, satisfied with Raclno, or even Corneille i" "No; Corneille has moments, and one can make something Out of Racine by inneb' h'tiuiv or tho best'parts." I complimented her upon her Phcedro which,' although ah un plcusaiit clluructe'r, seemed to mil ono that gaVo scope for line acting. "Yes, I have an' oppor tunity'.for doing something; but that bov," waiving Ink hands ns If .'Hippolyt!? werfe pre? ent, "what does llo'but sp?iit nonsenBo ! And that old rhun with ' His monster" (referring to Theramene'b description Of the death of Hlp polyte,) "and nil the rest?how stupid (bete) it is !-Gh'o me Sbakespeurot" : ? -. If this wAea dcJIeatocuiupUment, to a maq of Shakespeare 's race, and. a student of his works,.Ii was elaborate ?nd a very siiperlluoiis one. t jam inclined to think i.hat it was not so. but n genuine expression of" the opinion and feeling which Bhe might not have been willing1 to avow in a Frenchman. .She was light ns to her capacity,, To see her play Cleopatra or Lady! .Macbeth', would ' Have'been, worth u voyag? t# Europe.
