Fito2ll STONY OF DOO1R•" BY JEAN INGEtOW In Pre-gs by' Jean Ingelow OL'ENING OF BOOK V. And when two days were over, Japhet said, • "Mother, so please you, get a wife for.ine." The Mother answered, "post thou mockine,son? 'Tie not the manner of our kin to wed -80 young. Thou knowcst it; art thou not ashamed? 'Thou carest not for a wife." And the youth .....:,...blushed • And' made for answer: "This, my father, saith The doont is nigh; now therefore find a maid, Orelse shall I be wifeless all my days. And•as for me, I care not; but the lands Are parted, and the goodliest share is mine. • And lo! my brethren are betrothed; their maids , Are with thee in the house. Then why not mine? Didst thou not diligently search for these, ' Among the noblest born of all the earth, And bring them up? My sisters, dwell they not With women that bespake them for their eons? Now, therefore, let a wife be found for me, Fair as the day, and gentle to my Will As thou are to my father's." When she heard, Niloiva sighed, and answered, "It Is well " And aaphet went out from her presence. • Then Quoth the great .lifaster: "Wherefore sought ye not, ' Woman, these many days, nor tired at all, 'Till ye hadi found, a maiden for my son? In this ye have done iIL" Niloiva said: "Let not my lord be angry. All my soul Is sad: my lord bath walked afar so long, That some despise thee; yea, our servants fall Lately to bring their stint 01 corn and wood. And, sir, thy household slaves do steal away To thygreat father, and our lands lie waste,— None till them: therefore think the women scorn Togive me—whatsoever gems I send, And - goodly - raiment - (yea;l seek-afar, And sue with-all desire and hniubleness Through every master's house, but no one -. gives) A daughter for my eon." With that she ceased. Thei said the Master; "Soule thou haet with thee, Brought up among thy children, dutiful And fair; thy father gave them for thy slaves,— Children of them whom he brought captive forth From their own heritage." And she replied, Right seornfullv:. '"Shall Japhet wed a slave?" Then said the Master: "He shall wed: look thou ,To that. I say not he shall wed a slave; But, by the might of One that made him mine, I will not quit thee for my doomdd way Until thou wilt betroth him. Therefore, haste, Beautiful woman, loved of me and' mine, - To bring a maiden, and say, 'Behold A wife for Japhet.'" Then she answered. "Sir, It shall be done." Awl forth Niloiya sped; She gathered dl her jewels,—all she held Of costly or of rich,—and went and spake With some few slaves that yet abode with her, For daily they were fewer; and went forth, With fair and flattering words, among 116 r Peres, ~And fain had wrought with them: and she had hdpe That made her sick, it was so faint; and then She had fear, and after she had certainty, . For all did scorn her. "Nay," they cried, "0 fool! V.f this be so, and on a watery world Ye think to rock, what matters if a wife Be free or bond? There shall be none to rule, If she have freedom: if she have it not, ' None shall there be to serve." .• . . And she alit, The time being done, desponding at her door, And went behind a -screen, where should have wrought The daughters of the captives, but _there wrought One only, and this rose from off the floor, Where she the river rush, full deftly wove," And made obeisance. Then Niloiya said, "Where are, thy fellows?" And the maid replied, • "Let not Niloiya; this my lady loved; Be angry; they are fled since yesternight." Then said Niloiya, "Amarant, my slave; . - Whenlave I called thee by thy name before?" ~ She answered, "Lady, mover";. and she took And spread her broidered robe before her face. Niloiya spoke thus: "I am come to woe, And thou to honor." Saying this, she wept Passionate tears; and all the damsel's soul Was full of yearning wonder, and her robe Slipped from her hand, and her right innocent face • , Was seen betwixt her locks of tawny hair That dropped about her knees, and her two eyes, Blue as the much-loved, flower that rims the 'beck, Looked sweetly on Niloiya; but she knew ' No meaning in her words; and she drew nigh, And kneeled and said, " Will this my lady speak? Her damsel is desirous of her words." ' Then saidNiloiya, "I, thy mistress, sought, . ~., A wife for Jnphet, and no wife is found.'` - And yet again she wept with grief of hoirt, Saying, "Alt me, miserable! I must give A wife—the Master willethit,—u wife, h-meLunto the high-born. He will scorn t, .- , 'His mother and reproach me. I must give— None else have Ito give—a slaNce—even thee." This further spoke Niloiya: "I was good,-.„ Had rue on thee, a tender sucking child, When they did tear thee from thy mother's breast; I fed thee, gave thee shelter, and I taught Thy hands all cunning arts that women prize. But out on me! my. good is turned to ill. O Japhet, 'ell beloved!" And she rose up, And did train herself, saying, "Host thou heed? ti ir Behold, s thing shall be." The damsel sighed, • "Lady, I do." Then went Niloiya forth,. ~_ . .„ LITERARY AND ART ITEMS ' Stage \ (i'ront the Cornhill Magazfue.} Now and then instances have. occurred in which the mispronnnciation of a word has given ita meaning - so incongruous as to cover thflltetor, who had been involuntarily guilty of it, with confusion.'.Audiences, or rather portions of audiences, not overburdened with refinement, have generally- 'hailed 'these awkward slips with uproarious hilarity; the other portion has remained discreetly silent, as if it bad lacked ears whereby to receive offence, or tongues to resent it. Downes, the old prompter of Charles IL's days, has recorded one of these misfortunes. It occurred to a lady, Mistress Holden, a kinswoman or the great Betterton. She was playing in Romeo and Juliet, when a fatal word fell unintentionally from her lips; and as she hap pened at the moment to give it "vehement action," says Downes, "it put the house into such a laughter that London Bridge at low water was silence to it." Charles liemble once slipped in a like direction; but the most amusing instance of an error committed by him, against text and author was • when he was once playing •Shyloek, and instead of asking,' "Shall I lay perjury upon my - soul?" Overturned the text-by exclaiming, "Shall. I lay surgery upon my poll?" This .is said to be—what Miss Edgeworth used to eniphati cally affirm of incidents in her stories— " Fact!" Less faith, we think, can be assigned to almost a better and better-known story, which made the soldier, who levels his halberd to prevent Richard from impeding the progress of Heriry'il%fune rfd, with the remark, "My lord, stand back, and let the coffin pass exclaim, in his hurry and confusion, f 'My lord, stand back, and let the parson cough! Such a mistake, however, has many a parallel: On the French stage a young actor- having , to shout, "Swi ne; trompettes!" knocked all the majesty out of the command by his shout of, "Trompez, sonnettes !" And, indeed, the French stage can furnish a parallel to the story of the error -of Mrs. Holden which made a full house so hilarious. The story Its told in the correspon denee of' the princess Palatine, ttuder the date of She was then at Dunkirk, where the,players acted in the presence of the Court: One of them,performingMithridatcB,, hapPened, by unlucky change of 'a letter, to address to Mori iffie a -word that conveyed great offence in the utterance.:-Th e unlucky actor, in his Confusion, made matters worse by turn ing to tlifi royal box, in which the Dauphiness was, the Most conspicuous personage, and saying with great contritioni"Madam, I most humbly ask your pardon; my tongue tripped me up)" The Dauphin was • so tickled, by. this incident- that he not only fell - into an uncontrollable fit of laughter, but fell backward om his seat. To save bun self he , graspar at the cord which ' ept the curtain.up, and the curtain coming down by the run, struck against the lamps, and caught fire.. The flames were immediately estin guished, but the eurtain could not be raised, and the .play peas ,acted out, the audience looking at• the performers through the gap' caused by the fire. • , One of the pleasantest incidents of the French court stage, however, occurred When the Emperor Napoleon jokingly hissed the Empress Josephine, Who was acting a little operatic part in the theatre in the palace at' St. Cloud. She demurely stepped forward and remarked that any one of the audience who wa.§ dissatisfied with the performance' ,might retire, and have his money returned to him at the doors. Tice consequent laughter wasuproarious. There are other slips on the stage- than those made by words. At the beginning of the last century, on the French stage, the slipping of Baron's garter led to ft' traditional action 'observed in the kart by every succeed ing player; and the other night only,, at the Varietes, - the slipping of Mdlle. Chaumont's petticoat produced nn amusing unrehearsed effect. In the first case, the great French ac tor was performing the Earl of Essex, and his garter slipped from below his knee, in the scene where only he and the traitor Cecil were on the stage. Such a personage Essex might treat with indifference or contempt; and accordingly he replaced the dropped band round his leg, while he continued to address Cecil in a disdainful tone. The effect was so' successful that succeeding actors adopted the inettletiroThffecting-tp-tighteit-the-garter-as-a good "bit of business;" and the tradition con tinued to be observed as long as Le Compte d'.Essex continued to be acted. Chaumont's slip was of another eliaracter. It taxed her readiness in an emergency, and did not .find her wanting. She was playing a sozibrette in . Nos (Atm, and was engaged in running to and fro to .collect and burn the presents of various old lovers. In the very middle of her action she was impeded by her petticoat' suddenly falling about her legs. Of Course it was a very pretty article of its sort, and she got out of it, and of the embarrass ment‘which had come with it, by describing it as a tribute of admiration from one of her old admirers, which must be sacrificed like alrthe rest; and she tl.suSt it into the stage lire accordingly, with -a -merry -lanot and' amid the general hilarity of the house. • The Baron -mentioned above - was one of the greatest actors of his time; but when he grew old, the cruel French audiences of the period, forgetting his past greatness, be gan to insult him, and as he was one night playing .2N'i ro, they even hissed him! The 'aged monarch of the stage folded his arms, walked sternly down to the footlights, and exclaimed, " Ungrateful , pit! 'twits I who taught you !" It was a slip of the tongue, he used to say; but he was nettled that they who had been made by him judges of good acting should have turned their knowledge against their instructor. • An incident not allogether . dissimilar to this once occurred to Edmund Kean, but in his early days.. The Guernsey people could not e'omptehend his sensible and natural action; which implied that the audience part of the house was to the player as-aimply the fourth side of the room, or other imaginary locality, in - which the poet had placed him. Richard, turning his back on the Guernsey pit, as if the performer ignored them, appeared to one-half an insult, to the other an absurdity; and they hissed and laughed at him accordingly, till chafed and chaffed into ungovarnable rage, he pointed to them with his sword, which flashed less fire than darted from those then peerless eyes, and exclaimed, with fierce ap plication of the line to the pit, "Unmannered dogs! stand ye when I command !" The pit resented the offence, as they construed it, with the utmost: vociferation, and demanded an apology. Kean, dropped his; 'sword, put himself in an apologetier attitude, assumed a low voice, and said in his deep yet soft and penetrating tones, that he had been in error— he had thought them to be without under standing, but he was mistaken; he added, since they had made a . proper application of the few words he had just uttered ! One of the singular slips cited in connec- tion with the French stage was made hy Mon gozzi, an actor of the old Varlet 69. The fareo to be performed was called The Picric 117ith- mit an A (Phee .c.ens A). The author had written it without once using that letter, a feat which presents numerous difficulties ,in French, similar to that which has now and then been attempted and accomplished in English of writing a song without a sibilant, or . without • the•-detter - w, which: i 8; after all, something more difficult thari (lancing a hornpipe in fetters. To see the French piece a consideMble number of spectators had assembled ; the audience did not expect a play. of any merit, but they were curious to find how one of any length could be•carried on without' any use'of what is in constant use in French phrases, the letter a. At the rising of the curtain, Duval and Mongozzi entered from different sides of the -stage, and the latter, on seeing the former, greeted him with Monsieur, votes mild:" While thii.house broke into a roar of laughter, Mongozzi was corrected by- the prompter, and he recommenced more cor- rectly with "Eh, Monsieur, votes VOiCa" Certainly, in a piece which boasted o having no a in it, !the ilctor slipped drolly when he exclaimed, "Ah, sir, here you are!" instead of "Eh; 'sir, you here, then ?" This was the slip of a careless, not of a for ' getful man. Very few actorsdevehad mem ! ()ries; some are of extraordinary uick study. Not long since, in A) be sudden • discovered absence of an actress in a farce,—the curtain was just about to rise,—a young lady, who had nc:(rer played' the part was, asked to "go on," aril she readily consented. She took the book in her hand, learned a few lines at the wings, .carried them with her on to the stage, learned a few more as she went to the - back, busying herself apparently with what was on the chimney-piece, , and came down to the front with what her memory gathered. The 'afidience were unaware of the that which was being pirformed, and it was accomplished with only one poor slip. Very numerous are the stories of the slips, 'mistakeS, transpositions and willful variations made tiom the author's true reading, by pro vincial actors. Many of thqse, however, are, merely , b,en trovato stories; they at all events are notto be repeated with warrant; of au thenticity. At the same time the audacity or .indilfeience of some country 'players has un doubtedly led to .very exceptional sayings, and doings on provincial stages. Whether the rural actor does not belong rather to romance than to reality, who is said to . have mali ciously spoilt a point which Mr. Macready used to make in Eieha ra, by not only ex claiming:. "My lord, the • Duke of Buckingham is taken!' but, adding the further information, "and we've . ' cut off his head !" cannot now be ' deter mined. . 'There is; however, some war rant for another stray story in connection' with this passage: . Two 'strolling players were acting Richard and C, 'atesby, at the Bullock-Smithy, or sonic, equally elegant theatre, CatcBb,y, ever 'eager to do well, went wrong,. and missed MS text. "My lord,-" be said, "the Duke of Richmond is taken!"' Upon which, Richard, with ht morons gravity upon his face, stepped for ward and intimated to the' house: "If what THE DAILY EVENING} BULLETIN:- MS fellow says be strictly true, and Rich mond now be held in durance vile, the - 'play you see comes suddenly to " end!" And nothing could be'trner than that fact, although it was delivered in blank verse, t,in fashion which is to the actor sport: But we will not guarantee the genuineness of thisi -,atory. • The actors invent them as readily - as the members of the Stock Exchange • do:, Conun drums. Among the traits of stupidity ptit to the account of actors, by which dull, unrehearsed - effects have been produced on lbe stage, there is none that is supposed to convey greater proof of stupidity than 04 which distinguished the actor who originally repre sented Lord Burghley in "JYw Critic." The names of several players are mentioned, each as being the hero of this story,' , but the original Lord Burghley, or Burleigh, was Irish MOody,. far too acute an actor to be sus pected for a fool. When Sheridan selected him for the part,the manager declared that Moody would be sure to commit some ridiculous error,,and ruin the effect. The author protested . that such a result was impossible,and accord ing to the fashion of the time a wager was laid, and Sheridan hurried to the performer of the part to give him such instructions as should render any mistake beyond possibility. Lord Burghley has nothing to say, merely to sit a while, and then, as the stage-directions in formed him, and Sheridan impressed it on his mind, "Lord Burghley conies forward, pauses near Dangle, shakes his head • and exit." The actor thoroughly understood the direction, he said, and could not err. At night he came forward, did pass near Dangle, shook his (Dangle's) head, and went solemnly off! 'Now, if this version of the-sto - -be_correct,Moody must have been instructed by the manager so to act as to win the wager for him; he having backed Moody on the strength of his stupidity. •On the other hand, if the story be really historical, the incident must have happened at rehersal, and Moody have been substitUted for some inefficient player originally cast for the character. The Home of Charles Dickens. [From "Hours at Homo" for July.l It was in a quiet street,near Huge:nes „Park, in the West End of London—a neighborhood . sought by people, of cultivated taste and moderate means.' The neat brick house of two-and-a-half stories, with a . curved front, was one of a row of residences of the same size and appeintments,. Which-were only not Clegant_for want of size. A velvety. little_ grass-plat lay like a large green mat between the house and the street, from which last it was separated by a solid wall pierced by a well-locked•gate. Nothing so much strikes an American in England as these ever-present, tiresome stone wallwid hatred gates, which vigilantly guard every, even the meanest house; as a banker's safe the valuables of its proprietor. These homes, thus intrenched, are literal epitomes of English law—the "castles" where the owner may, but the king may not, 'enter— domestic towers, begirt with significant warn ings of privacy. Ifere,.sliut in• from.-intru sion or reach, are the richest treastifes of an Englishman; amid which he retires and holds • his court, whence all who are unbidden are kept far on; and where those who are invited share a welcome and cheer unknown in any other country, our own excepted—epitomes, too, are these—emphasized compendiums of English_life,inside_ aglow with -all the-coo forts which wealth can converge around itself —kept from the grasp and seizure of hungry, wolf-like need and crime, which prowl out side around the inclosure. This neat cottage-like house was Dickens's first home—then bright with the presence of a wife whom he had Married after the first full butst of literary applause had come 'up from all England, as The AS'ketches by Boz and The Pickwick Papers appeared—the first home that he had made for himself. He had come up to London as a lad from his father's house at Portsmouth, that seaport where he had made the acquaintance of the Captain Cuttles, Jack Bunsbys, and other sailor characters, that move in his hooks with such vivid flesh-and-blood • reality. In London he had lived as a law student in va rious places, in such chambers and stow away places as boys straggle into, who, alone in a large city, are left to them selves with_ little money, and with _as little liking, perhaps, for the studies they are put to: Quitting, after a time, these stud ies, to him so uncongenial, and which were not quite wholly profitless, because they en abled him subsequently to carry on the great suit of Bartlett vs. Pickwick; he betook him self to reporting'police matters for the daily True ,S'un and Morn . ing Chronicle, during Which period be. bestowed hit - itself' in suet' aerial places and quarters as those ill-paid scavengers and purveyors grope nightly to in London.
