Repeatedly must tho hero' make his acknowledgments to his en? chanted admirers; and as ho did so, his fine, mauly face seemed to be suffused' .with intense joy; and well it might/for, it was the first time that he had ever taken tho chief part in tho play as Othel? lo himself. For many years I had known him inti? mately, jh/et I never knew his history; that was his own. My first feelings were to rush behind tho scenes and con-! grat?late' him on his grand success. ? . "What!" 6aid I, "aro you not happy, too?" and ? gazed almost thunder-struck upon him as he stood in ' dark, deep thought, and then wiped his hand across his great high forehead, as if he would drive away some troublous memory. He did not appear to notice-' my remark at first, but gradually he recovered his com? posure, and addressed me in his usual friendly manner. "Do not be offended," said ho, laugh? ingly, "at my strange . conduct. You know we actors aro sometimes strange people. Our best friends themselves do not know our inner lifo. Nobody ima? gines that wo have suffering and deep smarts, which we must always conceal from the world. We must often laugh when our hearts would break, and tho plaudits of the publio appear like death knells to us. Tho public believe that we only play with suffering; that we only represent foreign misfortune, only givo them a role which we have learned, with moro or less feeling, and that we only feign love and jealousy, hate and de? spair. But ho who hos seen behind the scenes, as I have, knows full well that under tho assumed appearance there is the deepest earnestness, the most fearful truth concealed. They do not think that tho laughing, fun-making comedian can feel the pain of his Bick child within his own heart, or think upon his wife whom . he must leave upon her dying bed. Yes, we often represent our own life upon tho stage; wo repeat nearly word for word our own thoughts; we feel the same an? guish, tho same pain, which wo must ut? ter in brilliant words of poetry. And I will tell you myself the truth of what I have just spoken, which took place in my own experience. I was once an eye? witness to a scene which I can never for? get. An actor played the part of a ten r*. der, father, who related tho death of his beloved child; and he becamo so con? vulsed that he sank upon the stage dead. Ho had, in truth, lost his only daughter but a few weeks before. Tho public thought ho acted magnificently, and the curtain fell amid tho thunders of ap? plause, on a corpse." "It is terrible," I cried, convulsively. "I eau now imagine your own emotion that seized you in Othello. But havo you the jealousy in your own heart that - you act out on the boards?" Ho did not answer. Gently ho took mo by tho arm, and wo walked silently to his room. We sat down to supper, but hardly a word was uttered. At last he turned again to the subject which we ! had previously spoken of. "I do not know," said he, "if I know i tho history of my youth. I will.try and remember. I havo told you, I 'think, that I am descended from poor parents, and I grew up surrounded 011I3' by po verty and distress. Like the Moor, I, : too, bolong to a foreign anti despised mee. Perhaps that may have enabled nie to assume Othello's character easier. ; I know not. ?But I becamo au actor. ? My ambition has been gratified to night. ? But I did not make myself. It was Othello. Othello is a part of my life- ! my existence-his love, his jealousy, his light and shade aro my own. You tell j mo to relate my lifo. I will. "After many carly years of wandering , in nearly all parts of tho. country, I foun? a regular engagement in the city of -, where I became introduced to a splendid society of distinguished fol- ? low-actors, who had also engagements there. It was both a joy and a fortune j to belong to such an establishment, and .> to bo a worker among such representa? tions tis vo had there. Every actor ap? peared to be inspired with zeal to do his best, and tho public rewarded us by full houses and almost contiuued applauso. For mc it was really tho school of my education, and I niado such important progress in a very short time, that great? er roles wero entrusted to me, nlthougli I was only a yoting beginner, and had not won tho name which afterward brought misfortune. "Our director was an excellent charac fe^player, und he interested himself for ?fet much as ho could, giving mo every ^?ajgAtb? enrich my repertoire and to develop wy talent?. The other mem? bers all snowed themselves friendly and companionable. Especially did I feel drawn toward our manager, who was moro distinguished for his oulture and goodness of heart than for any brilliancy as an actor. Still I WUH foud of him, and ho used to call mo his son. He had a daughter also) who resembled her father in these qualities; and I was at? tracted to her more by her intellect and amiability than by her beauty and ta? lent, and she loved me with all the pnre inclination of a tender sister. Tho fa? mily beenmo dearer to me every day, and many a time I thought real earnestly of taking the good Bertha homo with me as my wife, although I hod then but lit? tle real love toward her, and not so much ns she deserved. "Thus did I live, quiet and contented, in a circle of honored friends, busying myself in my.profcssion, and fiuding.my self, for the first time af ter-?ny vagahoud actor's life, in orderly relationship, amdng educated companions and good, amiable mon. Those Were happy days, and eveu to-day I oftcu think of that beaut ifni, joyous time. But all vanished. "Ono day a now actress was introduced to our company. I saw her for tho first time at relienrsul. I stood near her, and received an impression for my whole life. Auguste, for that was ber name, com? bined tho greatest beauty with nn en? chanting pleasantness of mnuncr and rare gifts. She spoke to tho actresses of God's graco to her, and impressed us nil by her spirit. Tho first evening of her appearance was an event for tho theatre. Tho public revelod^nud I fell,in love with tho genial 'artiste, nud thought that Xi had *really fotf?d-' my ideal. I'was .much.chgnged then,' 'and often played in tho samo piece with ber. and did not fail to c?mo near her as often as possible. My ^advances were friendly received. I soon'flattered mj'self that I possessed her heart, and soon, she allowed mo to ac? company her to her homo and visit her. "Day by day our relations became closer and more intimate, and after a few weeks I considered myself the happiest man in tho world, as I received a kiss from her ravishing lips for tho first time, ahd.*'h?ard tho confession of her love. My'happiness needed nothing but thc blessing of the church, but Auguste put off the desired .day under different pre-, texts. "Our intended union, however, re? mained no secret. I received tho con? gratulations of my colleagues, who ap-, peared to envy mo of my brilliant con? quest, and tho director wished rilo'tlre1 greatest happiness, and not only renewed my contract, but essentially improved my relations. Only my good old friend, the manager, was not pleased with my choice, although ho appeared just as kind as ever. But in spite of this, a certain coldness had sprung up betweeu us, and of course I did not visit his family so often, as every free moment I gave to Auguste. "But Auguste became constantly dearer to me, and my heart felt as if it could never attach itself to another. I loved her with a warmth which I had never before known; it was boundless, and I trusted her implicitly. A doubt as to her purity appeared to mo ns cri mi nal, and my belief in her innocence was as perfect as in my own existence. And in that light sho was looked on by all, for she had never given to tho world any? thing which might be seized upon to her dishonor. The only opinion over heard of her was one of the purest morality and modesty, and her beautifully sad eyes and child-like smile helped to in? crease tho trust in her." A deep heart-sigh came from the actor; a deep shadow of fierceness swept over his noble face; ho paused awhile as if to regain composure, und then continued: "At last Augusto appointed our mar? riage day. My feelings then cannot be expressed now. I procured a house in readiness for us both, and felt a childish joy as I watched every article of furni? ture brought in, and was perfectly beside myself when I pictured my leading my own Augusto to her homo and- making her the proud mistress of all. But iu spite of all these preparations for our marriage, I did not neglect my own duties nt tho theatre. On the contrary, I surprised both tho public and tho di? rector with extraordinary progress that I made. My love only seemed to increase my inspiration, and I felt an intense de? light in even the most difficult rofe. Ono day, one of our hero-players was taken suddenly sick, and I was surprised by receiving a note from tho manager, re? questing me to toko tho sick actor's part as the chief role in "Othello," in which Auguste played tho part of Desdemona. "Although I felt highly honored by this selection, yet I undertook tho ap? pointed part willi: a -certain reluctance. Tho character of tho Moor was far from me thin, and agreed neither with my voice nor myself. I knew no jealousy; I had never found the pangs of deceived love. And, indeed, when I 'cuino.tb thc rehearsal of my part before the .director, I saw that ho. was ?jot perfectly pleased, and looked forward to linly o' modest re? ception on tho boards. Augusto played ber part of Desdemona enchantingly; but my own part was cold and lifeless in comparison. In the course of the re? hearsal, she encouraged me more than once to give more lire and passion, and especially in the celebrated death scene, while she laughingly told mo that I then must, really believe her untrue. But the way in which she said this put nie quito ont of tune, and first nwakened my discontent. "I was tilled with dark forebodings as I I entered upon my task in the evening, j The first scene closed without the least I applause. I longed for tho conclusion, 1 for I felt deeply my own un.sticcess. The fourth act came tediously ulong to my impatience, and at its conclusion Au? guste carno to mo in order to give me on encouraging word. While she was speaking to rae, she laid down her writ j ten role which she held in her hand, upon the table, where mino was also I placed. "When the signal was given, she loft me very quickly iu order to attire herself Eropcrly for the death scone, and in her unto obanged both .oar roles. I ob? served the mistake, and wonld rectify it, bat u pieoo of paper which fell out of her manuscript held me back. I picked it off the floor, and threw a hasty glance at the, to me, strang" . nd writing. ? fearful suspicion pierced through roy soul. I read the open lotter. Now I could no longer doubt the unfaithfulness of my affianced. She hud deceived rae in tho most shameless manner, aud wa? expecting a well-known infamous fellow to meet her at au appointed rendezvous after tho theatre wns over. "lean hardly describe my thoughts. Tho Moor's nature seized me. Revenge was my uppermost thought, and I felt that I could act tho Moor's part now, perfectly. The thought came to take deep, certain revenge upon tho shame? less being, and with this feeling I step? ped upon the stage for tho li nal act. I uttered the fearful monologue of Othel? lo's, new, with truth; I felt a wild glow, and hardly heard tho rapturous applause that fell. Indeed, I heard nothing; a bloody mist hovered before my eyes; roy brain was tired, and I know neither what I would say or what I would do. I ap? proached the bed. "I seo that beautiful form still, an em? bodied ideal of all beauty and loveliness; sho reolined comfortably upon a silk cushion. A nature so glorious and en? chanting it was, os God could only once make so beautiful, I thought. But my passion now swayed my reason. I had no longer control over my actions. "Tho view of the unfaithful one in? flamed mo anew, and unconsciously I clutched my dagger, which wus no com- ! mon theatrical one. Mechanically I closed the curtains after roo, in order that tho public, might not see til o horrid tragedy. I was.alone with her? and no? thing hindered me in carrying out my design. I had already seized tho sharp weapon, neared tho couch, and lifted up my arm to strike tho murderous blow, but I felt it suddenly arrested. Before | mo stood my true friend, the manager, who snatched quickly away tho dagger from my uplifted baud before Desdemo? na, or rather Augusto, had a present?' ment of her threatened fate. Ho had observed mo narrowly, my altered mien, my sudden passion, my unusual wild? ness-tho chango in my neting had been remarked by the experienced man. Hu had" sympathizingly followed nry move monte, and as I drew my dagger in order I to'stab Desdemona before tho time writ? ten by the dramatist, he believed I hat it was a mistake on my part, and therefore ho sprang to hiuder mo from a supposed failure. He little thought that his un? expected appearance between us saved mo from becoming a criminal, and, per? haps, saved mo from tho scaffold." "And what of Auguste? Whero is she?" I asked. "Sho went, like many others, to ruiu. Her moral power totally failed; sho sank dooper and deeper, and at last, in conse? quence of her irregular life, died a con? sumptive. I never saw her afterwards, und I do not think sho ever knew tho danger to which sho was once exposed. My only reveuge consisted in sending the letter with my card to her the follow? ing morning. My love was cured, but at tho cost of my dearest hopes and my most beautiful illusions. Othello is still my favorito vole. I lovo it as a mother loves her child. My misfortune deve? loped my talents, and through Othello I becamo au ador. As often as I play that purl, however, I am ?cized with tho old feelings. Tho picture of that fearful evening stands before my soul. I feel tho same inspiration of that dread jea? lousy, and tho curtain falls amid gio rions, rapturous applause. INGENIOUS CHAUADES.-A novel plan of drawing-room charades is thus de? scribed by a participator: The curtain of tho back drawing-room was drawn aside, aud we were rather sur? prised to see nothing buta wooden rock? ing-horse on tho temporary stage. Wo were told to guess au island in tho Greek Archipolago. After some demur, one individual, brighter than the rest, ex? claimed "Dolos-deal horse." Bight. Tho curtain fell, and, after a pause, rose again, displaying to tho astonished look? ers-on the very identical, irrepressible rocking-horse, with his head iu tho con? trary direction. We were told to guess auother island in tho Greek Archipela? go/ 'There was a dead silence. Some ?no vainly suggested "Chios," mispro? nounced "shy horse," but that would not do, for tho "deal horso" was as steady as Old time. At length a small boy, late from school, exclaimed "Sumos," and it was tho "same horse." Tho curtain fell amidst roms of laughter. The next, scone was a portly gentleman of middle age. who'was - met hy n young girl, who said."Doctor,T am glad to meetyou." A word of-live syllabics. Give it up. "Metaphysician-met a physician." The curtain fell, and was again div .ru up-t ?nly to exhibit tho samo portly gentle? man and tho girl*raecting again. A word of tinco syllables'.' "Metaphor-met afore" was tho sol ti f ion. To CLEAN WniTE Kins*.-A lady friend gives us a suggestion thai will save thou? sands, and is especially valuable to those whoso circumstances in life demand eco? nomy. To clean white or colored kid gloves, put thom on aud rub ihem well with corn meal. This persisted in for a few minutes will render them nearly as good as new. Try it, young miss, before throwing away a pair after the lirst wear? ing. A PuzziiER.- A married lady lately consulted her lawyer ou the following question, namely: "As I wedded Mr. Smith for his wealth, and that wealth is now spent, am I not, to all intents and purposes, a widow, and at liberty to marry again?" A philosopher has discovered that mon don't object to be over-rated, except by assessors. "That Gough will Kill you!" Try "COSTAR'S" Cough Remedy. "Colds and Hoarseness lead to death," Try "COSTAn*!"
