TREE ISINGVLA.Ia MAN. There was a young man, you may think very strange, But sometime or other a little deranged; .And if it be true, then as I have been told, He was once 'a mere infant, btit age made him old. His face -was the oddest that ever was • - known, • His month stood across 'twixt his nose and his chin, And whenever he spoke, it was with his • voice, -And in talking he always made some sort of noise.. He'd an arm on each side to use when he'd please, He never worked hard, when he lived at tis ease; Two legs he had got to make him him com plete, But what was most strange,' at each end were his feet. MB legs, as folks say, he could use at his And when he was walking, he never stood still; If you had but seen him, you'd laugh till you burst, For oneleg or Vother would always go first. Another strange thing as e'er I did meet, Was when he was hungry, he always did' eat; He drank when he was dry, and then, if you'd note Whatever he drank always went down his throat; If this whimsical fellow had a river to Cross, if he couldn't get over, be staid where he was; And although he never went off the dry ground, $o great was his luck -that he never was drown d. Another strange thing abbut him I'll tell, For when he was sick he was always un well; He gave a deep sigh, then oped his mouth wide, And some how or other, this odd fellow died. But the reason he died, and the cause of his death, Was,Simply, poor soul, for the want of more breath. And. now he is left in the cold earth to moulder, If he had lived a day longer, he'd have been a day older. —Portlas3 Tr . amkript. ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTER. Charles Dickens's Acconnt of Her Early Literary Efforts. [From the London Athenaeum, Dec. 9.] The following tribute to the memory of Barry Cornwall's gifted daughter, the late Adelaide Anne Proctor, is prefixed to the newly published illustrated edition of her Lyrics, and is from the pen of Mr. Charles Dickens: In the spring of the year 1853 I observed, as conductor of the weekly journal House hold Words, a short poem among the prof fered contributions, very different, as I thought, from the shoalof verses perpetu ally setting through the office of such a periodical, and possessing much more merit. Its authoress was quite unknown to me. She was one Miss Mary Berwick, whom I had never heard of; and she was to be addressed by letter, if addressed at all, at a circulating library in the western dis trict of London. Through this channel Miss Berwick was informed that her poem was accepted, and was invited to send another. She complied, and becamearegular and fre quent contributor. Many letters passed be tween the journal and Miss B erwick, but Miss Berwick herself was never seen. How we came gradually to establish, at the office of Household Words, that we knew all about Miss Berwick, I have never discovered. But we settled somehow, to our complete satisfaetion, that she was governess in a family, that she went to Italy in that capa city and returned; and that she had long been in the same family. We really knew nothing whatever of her,except thatshe was remarkably business-like, punctual, self reliant and reliable; so I suppose we insen sibly invented the rest. For myself, my mother was not a more real personage to me than Miss Berwick the governess became. 'This went on until December,lBs4, when the Christmas number, entitled "The Seven Poor Travellers," was sent to press. Hap pening to be going to dine that day with an old and dear friend, distinguished in Mem-- ture as Barry Cornwall, I took with me an early proof of that number, and remarked, as I laid it on the drawing room table, that it contained a - very pretty poem, written by a certain Miss Berwick. Next day brought me the dis closure that - I had so spoken of the poem to the mother of its writer, in its writer's pre sence; that I had no such correspondent in existence as Miss Berwick, and that the name- had been assumed by Barry Corn wall's eldest daughter, Miss Adelaide Anne Proctor. The anecdote I have here noted down, besides serving to explain why the parents of the late Miss Proctor have looked to me for these poor words of remembrance of their lamented child, strikingly illus trates the , honesty, independence and quiet dignity of the lady's character. I had known -her when she was very young ; bad been honored with her fathers friend ship when I was myself a young aspirant; and she had said at home, "If I send him, in my own name, verses that he does not honestly like, either it will be very painful to him to return them, or he will print them for papa's sake, and not for their own. So I have made up my mind to tkke my chance fairly with the unkn own volunteers." Perhaps it requires an editor's experience •of the profoundly unreasonable grounds on which he is often urged to accept unsuitable articles—such as having been to school with the writer's husband's brother-in-law, or having lent an alpenstock in Switzerland •to the writer's wife's nephew; when the in teresting stranger, had broken his own -fully to appreciate 'the delicacy and self respect of this resolution. a * She was ' exceedingly humorous, and had a great •delight in humor. Cheerfulness was ka bitual with her; she y, was very ready at a sally or reply, and in her laugh (as I re member well) there was an unusual vivacity, enjoyment, and sense of drollery. She was perfectly unconstrained and un affected, -as miadestly , silent about her productions as she, was generous with their pecuniary results. • * No •claim can be set up for her, thank God, - to the possession:of any of the conventional poetical qualities. She never by, any, means held the opinion that she was_ among. the -greatestolhuman beings: she never sus pected the existence of a conspiracy on the part, of mankind against her; she never recognized in her 'best friends her `worst .enemies; she never cultivated the luxury of being misunderstood and unappreciated: she would far rather have ,died without see dug a line of her composition in print than. that I should have. meandered about her here as -"the Poet" or "the Poetess." a Always impelled by an intense conviction that her life must not be dreamedaway.and that her indulgence hi her favorite pursuits must be bahuiced by action in the real world around —her, ehe was indefatigable in' her endeavors to do some good. NaturallY euthusiastic,..tuid conscientiously impressed wittundeep sense of her Christian duty to herneighbor,she devoted herself to a variety , cf benevolent objects. Now it was the visi• tation of the sick that had possession of her; now it was the sheltering of the houseless; now, it was the , elementary teaching of the densely, ; ignorant;, now it wae.the raising up of those who hi. Wandered and got trodden under foot;. now it was the wider employment of her own sex in the general business of life; now it was all these things at-once. Perfectly un selfish, swift to sympathize and eager to relieve, she wrought at such designs with!a flushed earnestness that disregarded season, weather, time of day or night, food, rest. Under such a hurry'of the spirits, and sucn incessant occupation, the strongest consti tution will commonly go down. Hens, neither of the strongest nor the weakest, yielded to the burden, and began to sink. To have saved her life, then, by taking action'on the warningthat shone in her eyes and sounded in her voice, would have been impossible, without changing her nature. As long as the power of moving - about ha the old way ; was left to her,, she: Mutt exercise it, or be killed by the re straint. And so the time came when she could move no longer, and took to herbed. ' All the'restlessness' gone then, and all the sweet patience or her natural disposition purified by the resigna tion of her soul, slid lay upon her -bed through the whole round of changes of the seasons. She lay upon her bed through fifteen months. • In all that time her old cheerfulness never quitted her. In all that time, not an impatient or a querulous minute can be remembered. ,At length at' midnight, on the 2d of February, 1864, she turned down a leaf of a little; took she was reading, and shut it up. The ministering hand that had copied the Verses into the tiny album was soon around:;her neck, and she quietly asked, as the clock was on the stroke of one, - "Do you think...l;ani•dying, mamma?" '"I 'think. you are *ery, very ill to-night, Lily - dean"- "Send for my sister, My feet are so cold. Lift me iv!" Herr sister entering as they raised, her, she said' "It has come at last!" and with a bright an ; happy smile, looked forward and departed, Death of a Famous French Aetreos. _ "Spiridion" writes,A froth 'Paris: The obituary columns of our newspapers contained this line t'other day: "Mme.' Carmouche; 67 years, Rne des Carridres 15." Like many another fellow coun tryman, this actress who so long charmed us never knew father or mother. The, actress, therefore, unperplexed byfamily name, boldly took this: Jenny Vertpre (Jenny Greenmeadow) and made it famous. I am sure you are familiar with it. She did not become famous at once, although she appeared on the stage before she appeared on the street. Such people commonly have to leap from their cradle and begin to earn their bread, if. they can, or at least the salt in their bread, before less unfortunate children have quit gnawing the ivory teething ring. She "walked" Cupids, the "First Child" of distressed mothers, and other mute characters, before she could prattle distinctly, and the moment her tongue could talk she rose a step in the profes sion and became a precocious child. She was already possessed of such witchery, that when Napoleon's orders came to organize a theatrical company which was to relieve the dull hours of camp life in Russia, little Jenny Vertore was selected. Alison has made you familiar with that page of history; so I need not tell you of the hurried flight (too slow at its greatest speed!) of that army of seven hundred thousand men which left about five hundred thousand corpses under under Russian snow. In these fearful hours a kind hearted officer watched over the little orphan girl; he placed her in an ammunition wagon filled with wounded vivaudieres, which, Heaven aiding, brought her safely back to France. Success received her with open arms; for the moment she returned the Seine Cailler (a great man in his day, whose name provokes smiles now, as I think wrongly) gave her a d same which you have often seen at the Museum, "The Thieving Magpie" (La Gazza Ladra). She played the wronged maiden's part, and 'this sp effectively she drew crowded audiences for two hundred and fifty nights. She had the art of giving such sweetness to tears! In those days the means of publicity and the "claque" which at present ena ble almost any piece to run its hundred nights were unknown; the street had bight's obscurity increased by dim lan terns swinging at great distances apart; the police were few and badly organized; steam did only coquette with the kettle top and sing the delights of cosy homes —for Stephenson had not married steam and the rail. Therefore the talents which could draw people from home under such circumstances and the saw people (who traveled by diligence but Wandering Jews of business?) may well be called extraordinary.— Mars and Rachel alone in modern times have accomplished like mire- Pies. 'Twas said Jeney Vertpre was Mars seen through an opera glass re versed. Hersuccess increased when she changed her theatre: "The Thieving Magpie" was played at the Porte St. Martin, which is one of the largest thee . tres of Paris, and the delicacy and pu rity and exquisite petulance of her play tng lost their- essence in that immense building. 'Twas a harp in a church where an organ alone. seems powerful enough to fill choir and aisle. She had the good sense or the good fortune to get an engagement at the Varieties, which was just the size suited with comedy; in it not a glance was lost, not a smile, be it as evanescent as the summer evening's lightning,"escaped attention, the slight est hesitation, the least quiverof the lip told. Her excellence lay in the, exquis ite manner in which she would utter a phrase and accompany it With a spark ling eye. The way she said in Le Ma siege de Raison: "Twas in my day," would bring down the house and is still re membered by old play-goers with some thing of the delight gray beards feel when they recall "in the stilly night" the ac cent of her first love as she pledged her troth. When I remember the tone which gave such effect' to these words I feel I ought to lay down my pen., How can I hope to make you conceive that this rough stick and this begrimed paste board tube once scaled heaven with ef -fulgent wake and glittered in stars of a thousand cOloes at heaven's gate? For your best- actors are- but rockets which dazzle a moment and leave nothing be hind them to attest the height they scaled and the -lustre with which they shone but a red and an'empty cartridge? Her whole career at the Varieti6 was one constant' success. Every piece she appeared in showed her more' gifted. She almost ran Scribe crazy. You: knoW , he was obliged by contract under seal-to; write;only for the GYmnase, and though he had LeOntine,FaY to give lustre to his Piee,es, she was as nothing. so long as, Jenny Vertpre was on ' everybody's' liPs and in . everybody's eye. So, Scribe tormented , ihe- manager' 'of the Gymnase, who persisted in saying he had-actresses enough;' but. Scribe Was such a plague (he was the most pertina cious of men when he had a point to carry) . that he worried the manager into engaging, Jenny Vertpre, and then THE DAILY . EVEN ING:B Scribe, having Leontine Fay and Jenny Vertpre, in hand, amply rewarded the manager for his docility by producing- a long series of his best plays.. How suc cessful they were with these enchanting girls! It was for this same Jenny Vert pre Scribe wrote "The Cat Metamor phosed into a- - Woman;" he said her looks and carriage reminded him so much of a cat that he never saw her but he thought she must have once been a cat. So she went on in her brilliant ca reer until a painful disease, scirrhus, attacked her. She struggled against it as long as she could, but it overmastered and drove her from the stage. Fortu nately she had married in the meridian of her. career Mona. earmouche, the dramatic author, who had written some of her best parts for her. They were married just after his piece, La Niege, which fell opportunely to ice their wed ding cake., Religion, too, had ministered comfort to her.
