HER FIRST APPEARANCE.
From Household Words
===
The Iluthams were left orphans—the brother
at twon'y two, the sister at twenty-one years of
age—but their desolation wu by no means ex
creme; it was tempered to them, as the Rev
Applepy Swats observed, by a oonsiderable sum
of money in the Three per Cents. Besides, the
girl found in Cecil Hothatn at once a parent an
a brother ; more devoted to her happiness than!
a lover ; for his devotion exceeded that of a woo.:
ing time • it lasted for life
Evt n if one had not been related to her, it
would have been quite possible ta have become
exceedingly fond of Nina Hotham; as Mr Swete,
the curate of Brendan, where she lived, proved
Sw e t t . w as not a strong minded young person,
but be was very honest and well•tneaning, and
the living would be his own as soon RA the ilea
rector [who was eighty-two] should be rentoted
howl what was denominated, more technically
thau literally, his present sphere of usefulness
The old gentleman had indeed been put in at
seventy-four by Mr Swete's father, the patron, j
as a warmingtpan for his son, and be bad already
taken five years longer to keep the place warm
than was expected of him Still, it was plain
that he oould not persist in such annoying eon.
duet much longer, and Mr Applepy Swete'4 ex
pectations were—sinoe the living was a g eki one
—proportionably excellent Nina liked him
well enough . , though not passionately, and her
brother Cecil, seeing that, was, in consequence,
his warm friend and supporter ; for, if her vpin
ion of the young divine had been unfavorable,
be would have been his determined and une Eui
promising foe
It is probable that Nina [she was fair, tall, and
blue-eyed, with a carriage like that of r princess,
and a will of her own to watch] would have be
ootne Mrs Swete, and lived and died the wife
of a country rector, had It not been for a circuit
stance no leas trifling than that of an acting ohs
rade.
It was winter, and at the hall where the old
squire, who was king at Breutfell, lived, a large
party had assembled, among' . whoto were the Hot
hams. Private theatricals were a novelty in
that part of the country, and such acting even as
the gueats attempted, which partook more of the
nature of tableaux vivaots than anything eke,
aroused 'cameose enthusiasm in the locality, atol
attracted more spectators than the double draw •
jug voondeould easily hold Nina Buthauri, mag
nificently attired, and imitating the sili-nee
weil as the attitude of some sublime statue,tuade a
pr.found impression AccustOmeti from her youth
to a country l,te, and knowing nothing of the
world in these vi lames of the unreal, m.sealled
of the iniaginatiou; the poor becau.ie tutoxi
cated with this partial and unreasoning applause
In it, her fancy caught the herald notes of a burst
of triumphant acclaim, which was to sweep per
baps, one day, through the length and br .adth of
England ; of Europe; of the world. The; call
ing of the actress, she had often thought, was a
something little less than divine, and now she
had the exquisite pleasure of persuading herself,
and of being persuaded, that that high privilege
was her own by natural right. Vain, indulged,
and accustomed to no other influence than that
of her own impulses, this young gentlewoman,
brought up in affluence, and imbued with the
usual social prejudices, nevertheless found her.
self stage-struck.
The Revere9d Applepy Swete had not baile , l
very eagerly *IT - appearance of his intended as
Rowena, the Sazon Prinoeu, in a charade ; but
when he discovered that, in consequence of the
success of that Mystery, it had been determined
that the last scene of the play of Othello was to
be represented, the part of Deedemona by Miss
Nina Hotham, the young curate looked cilinust as
black as the Moor himself
" I do trust Nina," he urged, wtth suppressed
feeltug, "that you will think again of this "
I mean to do so," replied the girl, who was
annoyed that the only:eyes which had not beam'
ed admiration, the only hands which 'had no
spoken approval, on the evening of her reoent
triumph, were those of Mr. Applepy Swetc, "the
part requires considerable thought, sir "
" Nina," be said earnestly, "do not answer
me thus. You and I, as I hope and trust with
my 'neart, are, at no very distant period, to be
one, as man and wife Our interests, our gym
pathies, our actions, are to be similar and.united
If I suffered you to take this highly imprudent
and unbecoming step LI cannot apply a term less
strong to your acting In such a scene with such
a man as Colonel Chowler] without reproof, you
alight, in after life, reasonably reproaoh me for
an unwonted harshness ; since, as your husband,
I should not surely—"
"Silence, sir," interrupted the embryo traget
dienne, imperiously, "you are going too fast 1
thank you for the warning you have given me of
what I am to expect as your wife. You have not
a good temper. 'This bloody passion`—that's
what I have to say to the Cllonel—'shakos your
very frame, These are portents, Have mercy
upon me Kill me to morrow, let me live to
day.' Moat reverend signor, you are very ter
rible!"
" If you do act that scene," cried the curate
solemnly, and certainly in a rage, "you and I,
Miss Hotham, never speak cf love again "
That five minutes of irritating conversation
probably altered the whole tenor of a couple of
human lives_ The lady persevered in ber deter.
mioation to play Deademona, and the young
clergyman, upon his part, kept his word.
If the charade was a Success, the play was a
tremendous Hit indeed The gallant colonel
handled the sofa cushion as if he hod all his life
done nothing else but smother people•witti that
implement ; and, as for Desdemona, she, accord.

upon her closing lips, there was not one dry eye
in the double drawing-room.
This second triumph put an end to what few
prudent reflections yet remained to Nina' with
regard to her becoming 60 actress. lier admiring
brother protested, from the bottom of his heart,
'that - she'was the most perfect Desdemona that
ever played, and that she would make her ()Anne
in a fortnight, if she were only to go upon the
sge.
' ta "l am glad to bear you say so much, my dear
est Cecil," was the girl's delighted answer. "I
feel the power within me. It has been slumber
ing long indeed ; but now is all the stronger for
its resit. I have made up my ,mind, dear brother
to become so actress—to immortalise myself—
aye," she added, in her deepest tones; but not
until after* little pause, "and you also, dear Ce
oil,"
Cecil liothatu shuddered. Re had the most
untsouncleill fsith ►u his sister's powers; but all
his instincts rallied round his preconceived °pia_
ions of the stage, ►n arms against this scheme.—
Ile knew his s►eter well enoix i gh to feel that it
was something more than su ;lea of the moment
engendered by excitement and suooess; and he
knew himself too well n tt to doubt his own abil
ity to portals& her t aIASItIOII the resolve
Remember, Nina, whom you shipwreck by
tht, course," he urged; "poor Swats now dreams
that vott are hts—"
' 6 Not now," she cried, "we are not to speak of
love again. lie has told me that I shall not aot
on thu /gage SHALL not! lam glad to think
I have escaped the man. Bat he shall hear of
me, as all the world shall bear; and you, my Co.
oil, brother—now that all familiar faces will be
set against me—you alone,, I look to now for
help."
They two bad Litany more‘convertations of this
nature. There was endless talk. and oceans of
advice, and almost universal moms pouted upon
them from all sides, as well. But the end was,
that Nina had her way. 1,
Their comfortable Brent fell home was let; rod
since it was of course absolutely necessary that
a tragic star of such a magnitude should make
its first appearance in the metropolitanfirmament,
the frothams removed to London.
Nina went through a course of training in eloi
cutinu and deportment, with a patience hardly to
have been expecied of her ; and, to six months'
time, WILY pronounced by her theatrical Coach [a
gentleman at the very top of his profession] as
perfect as art could make her—which indeed was
true.
While she continued to occupy herself in the
study of yellow. characters—each of whioh, how
ever, was the most ambitious in ILA particular
pi‘ce —Cecil set every wheel Within his reach in
W o ion, to provide her a suitable engagement.—
With miney and friends in plesty, her position
was of course a far mere favorable one than that
of many a more gifted debutante. Still she did
not find the thing she sought. More than one
manager of this and that great house had later,
views with the young lady at her private resit
(knee without the expected offer of the position
of first tragedienne being made. They saw her,
and were charmed. Her free, her figure, her
carriage, her action even, delighted them; but
the words themselves were often wanting, and
the aenvi of them it bad been out of the power
of the theatrical Coach [who, perbepaitid not
know it to convey
Nina grew sad and heart sick at the lack of
generous enthusiasm in these personages; whom
she had pictured to herself all eager to secure
her for their own. Cecil was indignant beyond
nvasure at their ignorance and want of taste.
The., pars ins who have the leading thea
tres,'' said he, kissing away her tears, "are given
up to pArti,ular style.; to mechanical and stereo.
typed etis,leter-; to women mere like Isy figured

under an assumed name; and afterwards, when
y , ur .tiecess is proclaimed by the public voice,
these mistrwittful men will be ready enough to
open their doors to my own Nina,"
Aei , irdingly, it was not long before a leaser
monarch of the stage paid a business visit to the
disengaged young lady; approved her speeish*
well as her action, her delineation of passion y ind
her majestic meth td of crossing the room. Fi
nally, in offering her the leading part at his the.
acre during, the ensuing month, he promised to
rpapect the secret of her name until an enthusis
satin public world would be denied the revelation
not longer
'' And now that you have mnde your business
interments with. my future proprietor," said
Nina, with laughing eyes iind radient (mutate
niwee, Ili her brother returned from an interview
with their visitor, "do pray, dear brother, tell me
how much I may be worth pot. week?"
" Well, love," replied Cecil, with hesitation,
l'oon,idcring that you are entirely unknown and
quite inexperienced ; that you have not the great
theatrical lineage which some possess, to give an
interest to your debut; that (I am only quoting
the manager's words you know) you hate no de•
cidedly original readings of any well known—"
" I worth nothing?" interrupted the girl,
passionately. "What does ill this tend to? Was
the man lying to my face ten minutes ago? '
No, Nina, no," stammered her brother; "bat
the offer seemed so small, so insignificant, that I
scarcely liked to come to it Fifteen pounds a
week It would be positively distressing, were
it not is) ridiculous; but the Siddonses, O'Neil's,
and Nina Ilothams must begin, you see, upon a
trifle."
She tossed her head and pouted a little at this
inteliigence ; but presently left the room to put.
sup h. r studies, in her natural high spirits. Cecil
stood looking at the door through which she had
d..p.Atted, with loving but melancholy eyes He
had schooled the manager in the part he bad to
piny with Nina before be saw her, and his sub.
sequent business arrangements 3 with that gentle•
man had been different indeed from that which
he had'represented them,
I think I was right," he mused; "1 trust, I
was right. To have told her the miserable truth
—that I have had to pay fifteen'ponuda a week
for the privilege of her being permitted to act—
would have gone well nigh to kill her After
next month, too, all these things will be thanged.
Such beauty, such grace, such genius, eannot re.
mem long unappreciated by any who have eyes
and ears. '
4t the little tninspontine theatre the effect of
this! pecuniary dramatic arrangement was tre
mendous. The first tragic lady,Who bad to become
the Isecond tragic lady at once, enacted a little
extiosporaneous tragedy upon her own account
by going into hysterics. The second and third
tragio tidies were each proportionally indignant
at being unceremoniously thrust down a peg a
piece in the dramatic scale. The sentiments of
the whole corps of female artists can be only par.
alleled by those of the military, when the high

tested in soothing tones that they would wore to
sot with the interloper, or, if they were obliged
to do so, that they would set exeeedinFly ill.
Accordingly—for to this universal jesloney of
his sister's position, poor Oehil always ascribed
the catastrophe—wben the naineleae tragedienne

The second night was uolpo. completely %Wm.

tragic lady of the theatre roamed her sway.
It would be painful to nitrate, in detail, how,
at this and that inferior thostre, Nina Hotham

of failure at other places, and tinder a feigned

too. were there ; besides at lesit five hundred ,
hands, which, if they did not applaud, ought to •

admitted by orders, and upon that very oondi.
lion.
In the third tier, far back in the darkness of
s private box, sat the Reverend Applepy Swarm, '
now rector or Broaden; who, for all his hasty
words and rigid resolves, had an int.irest in the
fate of theXproine of the night only second to,
that felt t# one another. The ocean of murmur. ,
ous talk/in that vast ooncourse ebbed and flowed
about him, bringing her beloved name upon its
almost every wan. He bad behaved violently
toter, he now thought, and too rigidly. Per
Maps her haughty spirit had been even driven in
to its present oouree by its harsh words. He it
was, not she, who was to blame. He bad need
to offer her reparation as well as forgiveness.
All sounds suddenly died away as the curtain
rose upon the new heath scenery that had been
painted, regardless of expense, for the present
occasion. The witches prophesied:; the Thanes
did everything that was expected of them ; but
Mr. Swet• had neither eyes nor ears for them.
A room within biacbeth's castle at Laverne..
A pause, wherein you might have heard a pia
4drop, and then a roar of applause which shook
the house. Nina llotham was in the centre of
the stage, magnificent, majestic; the object upon
which the eyes of thousands were concentrated.
The letter from Macbeth was in her haw!, from
which she ought to have already spoken the first
sentence. Another roar of applause. still Nina
spoke not one single syllable, nor was she fated
to speak : her faculties were numbered ; her
tongue powerless; her limbs immovable. She
was paralysed by stage fright. Applause, min
gled with disapprobation, sueeeeded: then dtaap
peobatton only. Finally, the curtain desoended
upon the voiceless lady Macbeth in a perfect
storm of hisses.
Even Coot! Hothaux knew that Nina's ehanoe
as a favorite of the public was now gone for ever.
The final opportunity, thui lost—had oost—with
the previous expenses upon her amount—nearly
all their fortune. Neverthelitia, not a word of
sorrow, and far lawn( reproaolodid he ever utter
After paying ever farthing that they owed, he
left his ezpensive residence, and removed with
her to a suburban lodging; their Brentfell house
having been sold. A room was appropriated in
their humble home fur the vast assemblage of
theatrical properties which now seemed to form
hor sole comfort. It was her melancholy delight
to catalogue these relies of what she we woht
to consider her palmy time ; to array herself in
the most gorgeous mimic vestments; to represent
to her own setifitotion still the characters which
she was never destined to perform before others.
The llothems courted obscurity ; and, like all
who have got through their property, and lived
only for themselves or for each other, they easily
obtained it. Only one visitor was ever seen to
enter their door. The Reverend Applepy Swete
came to place his heart at the disposal of Nina,
in spite of all that had come and gone. She re.
oeived him very kindly, and indeed with a great.
er appearance of election than she had at any•
time exhibited towards him; but it was only to
dismiss him for ever. Anxiety, disappointment,
and, more than all, disgrace, had undermined the
poor girl's constitution to an extent that no phy
skies could remedy. She had only a few months
in which to live,--and she hew it. She told
him this, with an earnestness against which he
did not dare to hope.
She found it much harder to persuade her
brother—always anxious to believe pleasant
things about her—that her ease was indeed so
bad; but, at last, even he was brought to believe
it.
"If I had years and years to live, dear Cecil,"
eried ebe, one day when she bad grown very
week sad ill, "they would be all too abort to
prove how grateful my heart feels to you: it has
been a selish, foolish, blinded heart, all along, I
fear."

`.Seems to me you treat that ragged httle brat

just done up three cents' worth of sugar very
neatly, in a brown paper, and tied it carefully.

"I say Wytnau, you are a queer one."
'How queer, (}roes'" asked the grucer,t brow

"Why you treat.all the beggars about h.re

"0, I dou't know; it's queer, that's all, you re

"Well, I'll tell you," said Wysi.to delideri

the string about a package in his hand: "the

Time verified the predietiou of Wyman, the
grocer. There waeu't a shop to the place where
so much small change was spent as in his; for
the children loved to go where they *era n.it

felt themselves safe while milting their little
purchases; they saw that their rights were re

Time passed, and Wyman the grocer, Was the
mo-t popular man in town Hts pLasant face
at forty years was greeted everywhere. Yeulig
men and maidens always patralizoi Wyman.—
It was strange to see the transtirms'i in that took
place so gradually; the little dirty faced juvou_
iles shot up into awkward youths learning trade•,
and then grew to be respectable husintss m n.
Wyman enlirged his shop, and built him a stitch

chance to see, if he remembers those who treated
him with urbanity when he was a obild, and he
will recall his name with a throb of pleasure,'"
Perhaps, too, he will couple some other names
with the epithet of "old mewl!" and "I never
liked that man—l wouldn't have dealings with
him."
It paid the grader to be _polite. The ragged
boy, the drunkard's son, became a great a well

a handsome - residence of her own, and sent in

admiring tongues, praised by men of wisdom and
sterling worth, it was no idle boast for him to

We pluck from remenisoeuces about town, the
following little episode in human life which
needs no embellishment from our pen to find its
way to every heart. We suppress names, but
give the hosts as they mime to us, from a soured,
which we did not question.
Some years since a young German of laicism
ting persons.' appearance, intellectual sad res•
pectable, but front the rather humble walks of
life, married a °harming little actress, which the
St Luis Theater goers have often encored
Por 00030 time they lived on happily—he indus
trious, she unrepining for the exciting life she
had hitherto led, till a little girl, their only
child, was five years old. About this time the
husband was led off into the most 'wicked and
ceaseless dissipation by the malicious efforts of a
rejeoted suitor of Mdlle. Actress, till from 0023,
perative independence they were reduced to the
lowest depths of poverty. At this crisis the de
graded husband, no doubt at the suggestion of
his tempter, declared his intention of placing the
chill upon the stage, a step to which the wife,
actress though she tied been, had snob an invini
Bible repugnance , that she declared she had rath•
er he would slay the phild outright. Persistence
on his part wrung reproaches from her, and re
erimination, till what bad been a happy home
became the scene of fieroe contest and bitter.
roes, in the midst of weieh the husband daily
forced the little one from her unhappy mother,
to receive lessons is dancing, and at length au
flounced that he had made an engagement for
her to appear on the following evening; at the
same time producing the gauzy tinselled attire,
which he 2ad purchased for her "debut."
The outraged mother glared tigerlike upon
the gay trappings, suggestive to her only of re•
moist). noes which were evidently too sad to be
recalled without into. '
and had not her husband
restrained tier, would have rent-them in a thou
,and pieces. The little girl siding entirely with
her mother, declared she would never put them
on, and clung sobbing to her dress. The follow
tog day the bills announcing her appearance
were playearded all over the city, and when the
father, doggedly resolute, entered at four o'clock
to take her to rebeersal, excitement, with a nat
orally delicate frame, had so enfeebled her that
she was unable to rise from her °ouch. This
wretch, however, was not so to be deterred from
his purpose, and dragging her forth, he himself
robed her in the tinselled dress, sod throwing s
oloak around her, lifted her in his arms prepara
tory to conveying her to the theatre, which he
did, despite the mother's tears and entreaties.—
Before another hour had passed, he stole back a
"guilty, cowering thing, to ley in /ear erase a little
form bruised sod blesaing—flowers upon its
brow, and blood upon its garments. Too much
under the influence of stimulus to direct his steps
aright, he had been nearly run over, and the
child was dying there before her now sobered pa.
rent. She died, and in that moment the wife
cursed the husband, and bade the departing spir.
it of the little one witness the curse, and thus,
.ilirsys thus, to haunt him.
N )11 comes the story: The child was buried,
and the wretched mother left the more wretched
husband to bide his curse, and departed, no one
knew whither.- It wu generally supposed that
she bad thrown herself into the river. .He re•
mairied in his wretched cellar hovel, striving to
drown care in drink, literally soaked; but never
so under its influence but that the most profound
horror dwelt in his eyes, which had a look as
though he saw sights that other men wet not of.
His hair grew perfectly white and his form bow.
ed with premature age, while a °mutant shiver
crept to and fro over his deerepid form. He
mumbled strangelyz—dropped now and then a
word, whose ghastly import struck a chill of fear
to many a heart;. and there were some who pre
tended to have heard sounds from the miller that
caused their blood to curdle. Finally, the poor
wretch became ton weak to leave his miserable
pallet, and half from pity, more out of curiosity,
the oeighbors succeeded in wstehing with him.
.Vo oue ever, by any means, could be induced to
repeat the vigils, each of which seemed more ter
rible; but as yet only vague hints and surmises
were abroad. One was frightened by the man's
groans, starts and looks, another fancied be
heard stealthy steps approaching, and still an.
uther saw a shadow oast across the door sill, and
all fled precipitately without seeing the right,
which all c9nourred was nightly to be seen by
brave enough eyes •
p )11 the fourth night of the German's ills
the police having become aware of the es•
citeineut prevailing, were hovering round, silent
n.l wstchful..The man was dying, sod besought
to rot,ou. tones that a clergyman might attend
him A reverend of this city, no lees 'Watered
ht• scholastic attainments than beloved for
his deep toned piety and silent ebarities, obeyed
the sunnaons; at the maws earnest entreaties,
retu4ining through the last moments that might
be vouchsafed to him, whom his superstitious
friends would haveleft to die.
.\. midnight approached, the sick man grew
more nervous and wild, casting fearful looks
about him, and clutching his companion's arm
with shuddering terror. The good minister re'
tt.iurod and toothedhim, praying and reading
aloud pasiages of Scripture, till the wand of
light steps on the stairs sent a nervous thrill all
over him; but he read on, affecting not to hear,
though his patient became frenzied at the first
noise Suddenly a loud shriek forced him to
look up, and what a sight presented itself ! With
in three feet of him, stood a form whose biasing
eyes gleamed from darkly sunken sockets, whose
'unkempt" `docks streamed in tangled dampness
over its attenuated proportions, whose bony arms
extended the mangled bleeding form of a little
child.
The German, roused to preternatural saera
by the agony of the sight, crawled from his pal•
let to the furtherast corner of the room, seeming
sa if he would shrink into the wall, sad crying,
"Leave me, Marie, for God'i saltl, leave me to
die in peaee. The curse has worked. Your curse
is killing me. Go, go 1" sad be' fairly bowled
with impotent agony.
The figure advanced a step; but the minister
was a man of nerve, Placing a fins bead upon
her shoulder, he - gently forced the manias, for
such she was, into a seat. The " which
had represented her dead And from her
nerveless grasp, as the husband s o pped

never spoke. • For safflokot reasons the matter
