CHARLOTTE BRONTE*
BX MISS E. B. CHEESEBOROUGH.
The novels of Charlotte Bronte
contain no pathos more mournful
than that which we find in her own
life. A sad drama greets us from the
rising to the falling of the curtain ;
the notes of her life were all in a
minor key; she sings one song of joy,
beautiful as brief, then dies-dies
with the nuptial strain still on her
lips. And as we stand mournful,
awe-struck, by the still form of the
happy xcife, and gaze npon the pale,
dead lips on which linger the smile
of happy love, wo thank Heaven that
she knew, at least, one short year of
of bliss, the purest, the deepest, the
bliss of wedded Ufe. This was her
earthly reward for the long years of
sorrow which had been her portion.
In a low, oblong, stone honse, al?
most surrounded by a gloomy church?
yard, and with wild, desolate moors
stretching beyond, dwelt the child
Charlotte Bronte. All the associations
of this period were sad beyond con?
ception; a sick mother, a stern, self
engrossed father, a solemn stillness
in the honse, "the dreary, dreary
moorlands," and the dank, dismal
church-yard without. Where were
the sunbeams, that they could not
?lay around the home of the little
lharlotte, and throw their lustre into
the dark corners of the house? Cold,
dreary days, that wrapped the young
child in its mantle of gloom! With
most of us lhere is a golden chain
that links us to the days of childhood;
there are bright moments in which
dwelleth no shadow; there is laugh?
ter, love, light, music; and few, very
few of us, do not look back with a
* thrill of pleasure to "the days that
are no more," the happy days of
childhood.
Not so with Charlotte Bronte. We
can see the six young children walk?
ing out, hand in nana, over the bleak,
black moors, six grave, quiet chil?
dren. Un at ural sight! Mirth be?
longs to childhood; bot these chil?
dren had learned to speak softly by a
sick mother's bed, to check the gay
laugh, to tread gently through the
hushed house. We can very well
imagino the timid little things shrink?
ing from a father, into whose pre?
sence they were rarely called; a father
whose wrath was demonstrated, not
by words, but by a rapid succession
of pistol shots, fired from the back
door; who thought it a slight matter,
when angry, to stuff the hearth-rug
up the chimney. Misfortune tamed
?he fire of the Rev. Mr. Bronte in
K-ier years, and we then see him a
crushed, broken-hearted man, to pro?
mote whose happiness and comfort
was the cheif thought of his only re?
maining child, Charlotte.
The sick mother dies; still the
gloom rests on their young hearts;
their steps are as quiet as ever; it has
now become their nature to be still.
Again Death gives another wide sweep
of his wings through the house, then
another, and the two little girls,
Maria and Elizabeth, are laid beside
their mother in the quiet church?
yard. In a school, where these chil?
dren endured not only privation, but
actual MoeHjY they sickened, were
^cM?gWwme/?*?n?l ??ath \eruiinated.
the scene. We can see the three re?
maining girl?, Charlotte, Emily and
Annie, with this fresh grief on their
hearts, pacing the dreary room, when
their household work was over, pon?
dering mournfully on their present,
and sending their glances into the
future. They talk and walk in dark
rn?s?; for the sake "of economy, the
light han been extinguished, for not
tho least of the dark shadows that
rested on the pur-soiiage house was
that of poverty. They turn their
thoughts U) tho uncertain path of
literature. No doubt these girls, shut
oat from all the world, left alone with
their own dreams, their own hopes,
looked forward with pleasurable emo?
tion to a Kterary career. Manya girl
has done so before; thorc is nothing
more alluring in the distance, hut
there ?re few tilings less satisfactory
when realized. The road has boen
found thorny, the rosea scentless, the
beautiful bine lakes only a mirage.
Disappointment tracks even the most
successful literary career, and fate
determined that the Misses Bronte
were not to be any exception to this
rule. They wrote to Southey fer his
advice; no answer came for a length
of time; when it did, it was anything
but encouraging to their hopes. Thus
disappointment attended their first
I step; their pinn? for adding to their
? small hoard were frustrated, and they
j must look for some other way of en?
riching themselves than by literature.
! Then came their first bitter expe?
rience of the world. Heretofore,
they had moved only in the little
arena of home; now they must learn
what it is to battle outside of its pro?
tecting walls, to grapple with a cold,
hard world for a living. In the ca?
pacity of a nursery governess, Char?
lotte commenced to drudge away her
life, serving steadily day by day,
teaching the same lessons over ami
over to heedless and dull children,
and compelled to constant and close
intercourse with a race of beings with
whom she had no sympathy, and for
whom she felt no natural love. Fresh
from the solitude of home, whore, if
not very happy, they were at least
protected from insult, we can fancy
the indignant blush that must have
mounted to the cheek of one of the
Bronte's at the mother's response to
the child, who declared that he "loved
Miss Bronte." "Love the governess,
! my dear!" Anti-climax of impro?
priety! so denounced bj* hard?
hearted ignorance. No wonder that
Charlotte Bronte, with her whole
heart set on a literary career, pined
like a caged eagle for tho precious
J sunlight of liberty. We eau under?
stand that "vehement impatience of
restraint" of which she speaks: "The
strong wish for wings, such as wealth
can furnish; a thirst to see, to know,
to learn." Charlotte Bronte was pur?
suing a career w Inch, from the very
depths of her heart, she utterly de?
spised. This state of feeling was not
calculated to moke her task any
easier. Day by day,, the burden
seemed to grow heavier, and yet the
adamantine chains of necessity held
her fast to the loathed occupation.
It was not merely teaching the chil?
dren of whom she had the supervi?
sion, but all the time not thus occu?
pied was given up to the needle. Ah!
that needle, it is a cruel bondage
when one has no talent or leve for
the useful little implement.
! At twenty, Charlotte Bronte goes
to tho continent to perfect herself in
French. A vision of a school of theil
owu dances in the heads of the Misses
Bronte. This once accomplished,
they can be happy, for then there
would be no more weary separations;
the duties of the day over, they could
sympathize with each other, and take
"sweet counsel together." There is
a magic souud in that word together,
which none but tho long-separated
and yearning heart can fully appre?
ciate. In the home of strangers, fai
away fr. m each other, there was nc
tender, loving heart into which tc
pour the tale of weariness and sor
row; love must be locked in the bo
som until it froze there; cold, unan
swering faces met the tearful eye jam?
mere civility-not always that-was
all the poor wanderer from home hac
to greet a heart sick for affection,
and pining for sympathizing compa
nionship.
At school, Charlotte Bronte per
fected herself in the language io:
which she had left her native conn
try. Lpon the whole, this seems tc
have been a happy period of her life
though even theu she had her dis
quietudes. All the while that thes<
remarkable girls were toiling ns go
vernesses, and studying themselves
a heavy grief was settling on thei
hearts-an only brother was running
a swift race to destruction. Thei
wails and cries of sisterly affection
as they saw him day by day Mingin;
himself more madly into the fear tu
vortex, is most pathetic. Anxiet;
for him seemed crushing the very lit
out of their hearts. So handsome
so gifted, possessing such genial qua
lities of head and heart, they co uh
not look on unmoved at the harrow
iug spectacle. Entreaties, prayers
tears, were all in vain, as they gem
rally are in such cases; crime dark
ened upon the brow of the infatuate,
young man, and amidst cries of rc
morse for his gu'lty deed and cries c
baffled affection, his spirit passe
away. Tho lust sad tragedy of hi
miserable lifo was over, and thothre
sisters, whose loving hearts ho ha
well nigh broken, had no word wit
which to comfort their wretche
father or each other. Such a stor
I as Branwell Bronte's preaches a ft;
more< eloquent. .temp?rance lecture
than ever uimc from the lips of
-Father'Mat?hew. It TS a story? alnat .
which many ?* smitten household can
echo; und tho worst of it is, we can?
not hope that there is any good time
corni Tig, when tho demon that crushed
i lum, and is now crashing thousands,
, will bo slain and trampled out of
I being forever.
Difigeutly devoting themselves to
their domestic duties, and at every
spare interval working with their
petts-shut in hy .the dreary moor?
land*-thus passed tho lifo of tho
Brontes. They were still dreaming
their dream o? authorship, which no
rude awakening could quite destroy.
But two huge shadows were gradually
approaching-Mr. Bronte'? blindness
and tho death of Emily. "When the '
father found this terrible disaster j
coming on him, he prepared t<> meet
it-if not with actual courage, with a
calm patience that looked verv much !
like it.
In tho meantime. Charlotte's novel I
of the "Professor" was going the j
rounds of London, looking for a j
publisher; and the very day on which
an operation was to be performed
upon her fathers eyes, tho raauu
I script WHS returned to her-it could
I find no publisher. Many of ns, at
j what we esteem a rebuff, are apt to :
i shrink iuto ourselves, and to retire i
from the conflict after the first defeat.
! But Charlotte Bronte liad no such j
I cowardly element in lier; she would i
not be beaten back from her purpose;
sim felt the stirrings of a genius that
I must be heard, and even with the
I returned manuscript of tho "Pro
I fessor" in sight, she worked ont lier
I novel of '-Jane Eyre." Brave, strong
I heart, it met its reward. The weird,
! wonderful production blazed out, an?!
! the name of Correr Bell rang through
j the literary world. Her strong wings
had borne her aloft in a most success
I ful ilifcht. Curiosity was on the tip?
toe, but curiosity could see nothing
i save a perfectly original work, full of
! pathos aud power-a story almost
1 impossible in the main, yet very pos
j sible in many of its details, told with
i force and fervor, a half-smothered
! passion, bearing the unmistakable
j marks of genius, and telling not liing
else save that it was written by Correr
Bell. Cariosity had nothing to satisfy
' its cravings with, and could only spe
, enlate and wonder, while the writer,
I shut up in the close retirement ot the
j parsonage, could hear, afar off, the
! din made by her magie pen. The
j noisy shouts seemed to come up to
I her very door, but they moved her
not to any expression of gratified
triumph.
One of the great shadows was now
j beginning to pass away; the father's
, sight was in u measure restored, but
! the other deepened the nearer it ap
i proached. Emily became ill; but
' with the resolution and energy which
were a part of her not altogether
' lovely character, sin* bravely fought
j against the universal conqueror. ?She
I would riot think herself ill, even when
, fierce pains were lacking her body;
I one refused medical a? I vice, rejected
? all sympathy, and in silence the brave
; spirit, which had battled with the
: fierce bull-dog, and subduing it, made
it ever after her loving friend, fought
: with equal bravely that foe which bus
but ono conqueror, ll?; who holds
' the keys of heiland death. She died
i fighting -died with a fierce determi
! nation not to be overcome, and we
stand awe-struck in the presence of
this unequal contest; a weak woman,
! who had no shield to hold up against
1 the unerring darts of the destroyer,
; and a foe who hus never known but
, one conqueror, and that one a God.
: Generally, humanity, knowing that it
1 is powerless, succumbs without a
I struggle, when it sees the approach
I of death. But not so with Emily
Bronte; she'd die, if die she must;
but ?die would battle against, oppose,
resist the foe to the very lust. But it
was over; the shocking warfare had
?ceased; the proud spirit was at rest;
, aud as the sisters pressed a kiss upon
I the cold, dead brow, they ohing the
> closer to each other in loving and
; tender sympathy.
! But another link has to be severed
: from the chain of love, and Charlotte
! Bronte was to be left sisterless. Annie
? faded away; she did uot. like Emily,
j die fiercely fighting ugainsi her fate.
I but, gently yielding herself into the
! arms of death, sweetly sh?' f .11 asleep,
j ss calmly as the afternoon passes
into the hush of evening, murmur?
ing, "take courage. Charlotte, take
courage." Courage! well .night she
bid that son ly bereaved heart to taki
courage, f?>r if required courage tc
face the lonely future. "Oh!" ev
claims the heart-broken sinter, as sin
! gazes around the desolate house, '-t<
j sit in a lonely room-the clock tick
' ing loud throng}) a still roma -ant
? have open, before the mimi's eye, th?
i r?'i ord ?>f the last year, with it:
j shocks, sufferings, losses is a trial.'
It was no common affection tba
bound these two sisters inn lovinj
; union; and the grief with which Char
lotte mourned her hived one, tel?
fearfully upon ber delicate frame; ill
, ness ensued, and it was many month:
j before sh?, could rally again.
' Curiosity was new somewhat satis
I fled with regard to the authorship o
I Jane Eyre, and it -as generali;
known that the writer of that won
derfnl fiction was nothing more o
\ less than i woman a woman utter]
i unknown to fame and tho fashionabl
i worhl of London. We can very we]
I fancy tho consternation of Charlott
1 Bronte, by nature painfully timid
and broil in deep seclusion, when, fi
ouo of Thaekery's lectures in Loudon
she found hers<-lf the object of gent
rai attention, the crowd forming a
linQ on either aide, to gaze at her, as
she pawed throng]L. Natural curiosi?
ty, but scarcely commendable or po?
lite; and timid and shrinking aa shu
was, Charlotte Bronte suffered keen?
ly from the investigation.
; Now approached a happy era in the
life of this suffering and gifted wo?
man. Tenderly beloved by ber
father's carat?, and tenderly loving
him in return, she yet, in obedience
to her father's wishes, rejects his
offer. A worse desolation of heart
n?w oppressed lier; happiness vus
within her grasp, yet she must throw
it from her, and resign the sympathy
and companionship for which she
pined. Was Charlotte Bronte never
to have one draught from the golden
chalice of happiness? were her lips
never to touch its jeweled brim? Yes;
compensation comes even in this life,
and God gives us sometimes for all
the misery we have endured a bliss
BO exquisite, so full, so rich, that the
great mists of sorrow roll back at the
appearance of this sun of happiness.
Mr. Bronte became reconciled to the
marriage;, and now Charlotte was to
rind in wedded love a solace for all
thc misery of her past life. She hails j
the dawning day with gratitude, and
after her marriage gives vent to her
happiness in quiet, but fervent re-1
joicings. The dark past makes her
cling with more of thankfulness to
her present bliss; the poor wearied
wings have been folded, at length,
beside the peaceful streams of domes?
tic bliss. See was united to one
worthy of her deepest affections, one
who appreciated the lofty beauty of
her character, and who bestowed
upon her a love as fond, as
trKe, as deep, as ever man gave to
woman. She was fortunate in win?
ning such love, and she knew well
how to prize the priceless treasure.
But this fond union of hearts was i
soon to end; death stole in ut the I
festal scene; the lights went out, the j
flowers died, the music expired in j
one long wail. With a heart bursting
with agony, the new ly-made husband
stood by the death-bed of his wife
and prayed silently, with blanched
lips, for life-only life! But it was1
not to be; the fiat h : id gone forth
love's golden chord was to be snapped
by the strong ringers of death. "Oh !"
exclaimed the dying wife, "1 am not
going to die, nm TV He will not
separate ns-wi- have been so happy." j
What a piteous cry was that which
went up from tho heart, of Charlotte
Bronte! But life was not for her,
love was not for her, but a greater
happiness, exceeding all that life and ?
love cnn give, awaited her trusting i
spirit beyond the grave. She breathed
ont her last sigh in the arms of love;
that ono delicious quaff from tho i
fountain of affliction had proved
more satisfying than all the plaudits
of an admiring world. The black
curtain of death dropped upon the
sud scene; the last act was over, and
thc genius und the wife sleep where
love can weep over her grave, but
where sorrow can never reach her
more.
