Recollections off an Actressi
BY JIISS CHARLOTTE CUSHJIAN.
Poor C-
-! To all who knew him,"
there was something inexpressibly amusing in
the sudden starts, and stealthy frightened glan-J
ces, which so frequently drove the smile from
his face even in moments of the most excitable
hilarity. If you but laid a finger on his shoul
der, ho would shiver like a criminal, when the
deaih dealing sentence proceeds from the wear
er b'f'ihe official ermine, and cast at you a look
of ashy horror; the shutting to, or opening of a
door, seemed to run along his nervous system
with electric power to jar it, and a blufiish-look-ing
personage, especially if sporting a stout
cane, could never catch his eye.
lhad often noticed these peculiarities, and as
often laughed yet, somehow C was
not the man to be made the subject of a jest.
True, he was a miserable actor, but there was
mind about him, and in any other calling he
might have been happy and respected; but he
seemed to have lost all confidence in himself,
to have allowed the iron of some peculiar, and
not-to-be-forgotten sorrow to crush his soul.
He was not intemperate, had an even temper,
and could even be gay; but his demon, what
ever it was, was more than his. mind's master,
so that he passed away al the age of three-and-thirty,
literally broken-hearted, to his grave.
I had always entertained a degree of warm
respect for him, and during the latter stages of
his illness, paid him those attentions which
were demanded by his case, and were in my
power to afford. He was touchingly grateful,
and a few hours before his final denarturo.
1
handed me a roll of papers, which he termed
his dying confession, bidding me do with it, as
suited mc. To the dramatic acquaintances of
the deceased, these posthumous remains wil
A
explain the singularities of one, who whatever
may have been his eccentricities, had no glar
ing faults. I feel lhat I could not better serve
the author, than by transcribing accurately, and
without mutilation, tne papers confided to my
charge. Ihey run thus:
The IJayer Beat.
I die the victim of a bail-piece! I fervent
ly trust that none of my readers have ever ex
perienced, practicably, the terrors of this most
iniquitous cog-wheel of the law. Would lhat
I never had, or could forget what I suffered,
for it has embittered my life, and brought the
head of a score and thirteen years to a welcome
grave. what you will ask is a bail-piece?
Gel in debt be sued execution served pro
cure bail to stay off the execution prove so
unfortunate as not to be able, at the end of the
time, to meet the debt, and seek safety in flight:
lei-your bail find where you arc, and he will
.get a slip of paper from the infernal I beir
their pardon the legal powers, put it in his
pocket, and armed by virtue of this same paper
with the power of an Oriental Caliph, he will
drag you into the district whence 3011 fled and
immure your body in a common jail. Try it
once, all who doubt, and my (lying word for
it, no one who lives through the sufferings con
sequent upon such a state of things, will try it
a second time. 1
It matters not where he may find you, fish
ing in the Kennebeck, or hunting buffalo on
the prairies, Sundays, all days, in church,
or in" bed, your doors triple-locked, ihe result
is ihe same, lou have no city of refuge no
day in which you can face with impunity the
holder of a Bail-Piece. Like a stag at bay,
your attempts at avoidance are unavailing. You
but give notoriety to the matterby personal con
cealment: you are a. rabid animal, as it were;
all join with your persecutor, for they are men,
and when did human naiure rise superior to the
pleasure derived from ihe sight of a fellow's
sufieririgs. The hunt is a game where ihe ter
rors of ihe hunted are fresh incentives to the
hunter.
.Such is, in brief, for I love not jo dwell on
the", materials out of which is composed the
Bail-Piece.. Such the infamy of the Law, re
taining, as it does even yet, a means of oppres
sion worthy of the Court of the Spanish Fer
dinand, or the days of Titus Oates, but all un
worthy of the people and the age presumed to
gavem. by the spirit of equal rights. It has
unmanned me. 1 never see a man with a stick,
lhat my blood does not freeze in the arterios; I
never hear a rougher slep than ordinary, with
out gathering my feet for flight; a tap on the
shoulder makes my heart sink.. away like a
snow-ball. 1 am womaii-Jiearled. I am a mur
dered man, I repeat it. The law has destroyed
me,' through the instrumentaliiy of a bail-piece.
Well, to my confession. I was in Philadel
phia, during the fall and winter of 1835. I
went there to solicit an engagement at the
jTjheatrOi The manager proved inexorabje. He
told me, what 1 knew, that I was a very indif
ferent actor, and th.it he had more "small peo
ple" alredy than he knew what to do with not
knowing what else lo do, I resolved to wait, as
hundreds of others have done bd'forc me, and
as hundreds more will, even nrito ihe end of
time in the vain hope, that fale would cease
persecuting me, and agleam of sunshine, up
matter how insignificanl, rclievei.thp gloom of
myforUines, So; 1- Availfid-but; .there ,came
npthin. Funds J. had none, and I was ,spon
to endure in reality, what I had all along dread
ed in perspective, the freezing looks of mine
host of the. Black Bear, together with the con
sequent decay of my intimacy with "his boar
ders. The storm grew ; blackened, burst in the
shape of a capias, in which I was requested
forthwith lo accompany Timothy Tipstaff, and
before Alderman. Alwise show cause, if I had
any, why I should not pay Benjamin Boniface
a ceriain sum not exceeding one hnndred dol
lars.1 1 was ofcour.se hurried into the pies
ence of magistracy. At once admitting the
claimit would have served no purpose to de
ny it, I' found all appeals for furiher grace in
vain forrI did plead most pileously and the
said Timothy was empowered to hold my per
son in the name of the Commonwealth, until 1
handed overj as saiisfnciion for the suit of Boni
face and the costs accruing thereon, the sum of
twenty-six dollars and forty-one cents. If the
amount had been forty ihousand,-the hopeless
ness of my situation would have been the same.
I had not the smallest coin of the country, and
knew not where to raise one. What to do I
knew not, could not conjecture. Dim presages
of prisons old stories of jail-rules and the Bas
tile were before me, so that when Tipstaff re
quested mo lotaccompany him, I complied me
chanically, although 1 fully noticed lhat the di
rection he look was prison-ward.
A thought,; as 1 then imagined, a most hap
py one at lhat moment, entered my brain. I
would seek a. friend to hail me! I imparled
my views to the officer. He shook his head
increduously, but the tender of a ring it was
my mother's dying gift her all: '---excited the
sympathies of the fellow (ho took the bribe
though,) and I essayed a task which they who
have never tried know nothing about even in
conjecture. I appealed to one, then another,
a third and fourth; but when I was about re
linquishing ihe business in despair, the image
of. Bob. Bennett, my ancient, my old. school
fellow, and most particular chum, came over
my mind s eye like a flash of ethenal charily
to ihe soul in purgatory. I started for his cham
ber Tinstaff was too nolite lo leave me. Bob
was fortunately at homu. I communicated my
errand the jaw of my most particular friend
fell, and a change came over him of most per
ceptible import. But I succeeded! Oh! how
has the remembrance of the humiliating tone
I ihen assumed clogged my memory even till
now still, I succeeded, and in due time the
name of Bennett appeared on the docket of the
Justice, as special bail in the case of Boniface
vs. C , and I found three monthly links
added to ihe chain of personal freedom.
I remained two months of ibis time in the
city, but as yet could find no employment, liv
ing, chameleon-like, and enduring the haunting
enquiries, of Bennett, as to whether I was cer
tain of meeting the claim for which he stood
responsible. I answered him for a time as well
as I could, but when there remained but thirty
days of ihe period of grace still before mc, I
could endure it no longer, and disguises are
over now I resolved to quit Philadelphia, and
in some remote village hide my person and suf
ferings from. the fangs and sneers of mankind.
I quitted the cily, and pursued my way to Beth
lehem; but I did not feel myself safe there, nor.
at Easlon ; so following the windings of the
Delaware, I arrived at last al Stroudsburg, a
primitirc settlement, half Quaker and half lies-
sian. o embowered among me oases 01 me
Kiitatinny, and remote from all connexion wilh
iho great world, that -I felt certain 'of remaining
here free from all molestation.
I was so fortunate as to secure a school.
The compensation, sixteen dollars a month and
"found," was to me the revenue of the Roths
childs, and 1 could have enjoyed a happiness
as unalloyed, in that simple spot as ever filled
the bosom of the owner-of a city's rental. But
it was not to be. ' I had scarce
been five weeks in my new location, when, on
rising ono morning lo make afire in my school
room the month was January and vhile has
tening to ihe farther end of (he villiage for lhat
purpose, I was accosted by a mechanic, who
notwithstanding lie bore but an indifferent rep
utation, was nevertheless a man of a wanh heart,
warmer a thousand fold than Ihe souls of those
that railed at him. "
lie noded to me significantly, and.drew rife
aside, where wo could converse unobserved.
I had a presage of what was (o follow. It
appeared lhat he had entered the village tavern
that momtng, to gel his bitter, as he said ; and
while there, Jicovorhcard a dialogue! between
ihe landlord who;'was my " very particular
friend" bye the bye, and a siaugcr, from which
he gathered enough, although they let him not
into the full pariitiulars, to justify the belief lhat
some evil was rne.dilatgd against my person.
I asked a description of the stranger. It

knew nothing of th nature of such ah Instrument;
but the other went on to show its power, with
such horrible fidelity of detail, until like Niobe,
I could only gaze at him with a look of unut
terable wretchedness. I asked him what I
ought to do. He counselled me to go quietly
back1 to my residence pack up a "few necessa
ries, then make for the- adjacent country, and
remain quiet for a few days, until the stranger
left, or the term of virtue in the power he held
expired. -
I a'cfeil on'thc hint, and stole back lb the
dwelling, but not so secretly but that, jusl as I
was entering, I saw ihe brute of a tavern-keeper
watching me from Ms door sill, while over
his shoulder peered a face that 1 knew' at a
glance to belong to my friend Bcnneis.
I hastened forthwith' 10 my apartment, cram
med a change of linen into my hat, some other
wearables into my pockets, and was proceed
ing down stairs, when .rap came a full com
plement of knuckles against the door, caus
ing me very near to tumble down a flight of
eighteen or twenty steps. The servant an
swered the summons, which proved nothing
more than a rcques't that I would call at the
tavern on my way to he 'school-house.1 " Rich
idea that,'' thought I, 11 I'll see you in Halifax
first," and wilh 'shiveYmg leelh I strained' out,
""we met ; 'twas in a crowd; all eyes were
upon me."
I next proceeded lo take a survey of my po
sition. . The cursed tavern flaukedT bolh the
front and rear entrances of the dwelling, so that
escape from either of these avenues was out of
the question, unless I pleased to make a run of
it, with the certainty of "immediate capture.
I at once called a council of war, consisting of
the lady of the house and her daughters. ' They
were members' of the sqcTely of" Friends, and
had an idea lhat all forms of law had something
to do with'Miliua fines. They proposed sundry
schemes, all of which were rejected as unfeasi
ble, until we hit upon one, which sounded fair
and plausible. The dwelling gabled, so lo
speak, at a facial angle of about fifteen degrees
towards the groggery This gave them a view
of three sides of it, while the extreme gable
overlooked a,valley which, was formed imme
diately under its windows, and reached away
towards the hills something like two miles.
Here it terminated al ihe base of the mountain,
on the level of which numerous farm houses
were scattered. It was a leap of five feet from
the sill to the brim of the valley. . Solat once
started, leaving my amiable friends at the grog
shop (they had now increased to a dozen 0;
more) awaiting with commendable paiien'cc, !
- 1 T . t I
my presence among mem. 11 may do pre
sumed that I tarried not on my way, nor did I
pause until safe at the farther termination of the
gorge. I felt so far secure as to look around
with a view to my further guidance. In' so do
ing, 1 noticed a small tenement, the owner of
which was a transient acquaintance.
It was. tolerably cold in the morning air, so
I hastened thither with the double intention of
warming my limbs and asking his adu'ee.
There were none of the. family at home except
his daughter, a girl of about eighteen, who ev
idently regarded my movements, for 1 stood
but .upon indifferent ceremony with much sus
picion, 'halting between the belief that I was
tipsy or. insane, or a. fi litile o' bolli." I in
quired at what time She .looked for a return, of
her Jalher, and in answer lo her reply that it
might be in an hour of riiorc, I expressed, my
intention of Ye main ing umil he did,;she dvinced
nbismall degree of .embarrassment ' evidently
wishing that I would be ofT at onco. L4tept
my ground, however, and well was it for me.i j
did so, for scarce ten minutes elapsed befdro
Bennett and a village catch-pole swept past
a bloody wilh spurring, fiery hot withf Jiastc,"
evidently having gqtoh ihe right track.1
The owner of the dwelling shortly came in,
and I,,expjained the .facts of my position. He
proved" what I thought. he would, true as steel.
The pursuing party returned after an hour's in
effectual sea'rch,' and stopped with-Badger; so
was my host named. He, painted to aside
room iiito which 1 retreated, while he quietly
smoked Tiis pipe by the fire, as' though so em
ployed for some time. I at first erttertame'd
sonie: doubts misfortune has made me "a. sad
sceptic oh the subject of human, of at least
man's virtue; but how were thess doubts
stenglhened, when I heard him.' after uf prosy
conversation with Bormeit aa to the grounds
of his pursuit, ask him. what sum he would
give to have me iq his power. The iatter na
med a, price equal, lo half of my indebtedness,
after which there was an ominous pause, and
I gave myself up as sold. My fsars however,
were soon removed, fbr Badger expressed ut
ter ignorance of my whereabouts ; (Heaven
will forgive the falsehood, it was perpetrated
in the cause of distressed humanity !) assured
tlio catch-polo that I had not passed by (ibid
was true enough,!) and then turning quietly
lo Bennett, he poured out a string of bitter in
vecliVe, the rude eloquence and stinging force
of which, I have rarely heard equalled. He

pinl.igster'nly to thp entrance ordered, hun
to, passu(iut,, lesl he should,, fprgej, in his, detes
tation of the mani.hunter,ihe respect dueeven
to such a reptile while under his roof. Abash'
edby the violence of the honest hearted fellow,
the subject of it retired with his companion, t
resisted the entreaties of this nAble' mlmled
cottager to remain with him, and proceeded to
scale the mountain, which effected, I had my
choice of a score of farmer's residences spread
along the area before me'. Selectingone which,
from ihe neatness thai characterized its- out
ward appearance; arid ihe solitariness of iw
site, bespoke honesty -within and littles likeli
hood to attract snspicidh;!I'gaiiied the duor, and
solicited permission to rest awhile within. A
cheerful welcome, was given and taking a. chair,
I quickly learned this was-t lie abode of -a wid
ow lady and four daughters the latter busily
engaged in spinning, yet communicative ami
lady-like in their general demeanor I laid ny
case before them; and found what rnaireverha
when trusting to the sympathy of dlar and' in
nocent women.. A mbthcr'eouhl not have hew
kinder, a sister's love exercised itself not in
ministry more soothing, yet imobtrlu'ive. JitC
bless them! one and all. Heaven bless 'it",
sex, for never iri all my wamlerinsv and ihev
have proved wide and various, have I ever had
cause to repent in trusting my dearest .wishes,
or more oppressive cares to influencing tender
ness of the sex. Men have looked cold have
defrauded, oppressed and betrayed me, but woman
has at all times, under all circurjisitanccs, been
my nurse, my solace; and my friend. To return.
I sojourned with these interesting friends nine
days, happy to be domesticated with a circle so
delighful, but the miserable prey of a thousand
fears. Every traveller on the high road was mag
nified by my suspicious fancy into .the dreaded
holder Of the haunting bail-piecel Every sound
at night was deemed the footstep of a. lurking
bailiff. My slumbers were fevered with sickening
fears of capture and ixicarceration; my food was
tasteless. In short, I was utterly, hopelessly mis
erable on the evening of the ninth day, I Stole in
to Stroudsburg. I had no fear of Bennett, for the
period of his power must surely have expired by
this time, but 1 brooked not to encounter the sneer
ing townsman. Intending only to say "God bless
you," to my former hostess, and then cast myself
on the waves of the repelling world. I gained the
steps before the door and knocked. The key
turned for admittance, and my hand was upon the
knob, when a pressure on my shoulder, a "not so
fast" caused me to turn and confront the sneering"
triumphant gaze, and the mastering grasp of Ben
nett The bail peace would have expired at twelve
o'clock IT WAS NOW fISE. "
Enough ! They who wih to know the result
will find it shadoxved forth in the Philadelphia
Journals of July of the same year. It will bq
seen therein, that at that time Ralph C
Comedian, made application from the vrison. to
the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of said
County, as an Insolvent Uebtor, praying the ben
efit' of the laws in such cases made and pro.vided.
