« Poor Sophy ! And yet , with all her trouble , all her perplexities—yes , I will say it although her thoughts have been crimes , I am not So Sure that hers is the worst life known in many il quiet home . Did y ou ever know what it is to have a life wasted P" She covered her face with her hands , and the poor , feeble , helpless Miss Selby , flushing with a sort of reckless anger , and _relieving a long up straig ht into my eyes , lips , and a _hectic cheek : " Sophy has fallen , her thoughts are crimes , and yet that is not so bad as—to see others live , and only to see others . Have we had no life within us , no feeling ? I tell you that the life within us , when it is stifled , can kill . Stop ; sir—I must confess all . When I spoke this morning , harshly , bitterly , malignantly , of that poor wretched girl , wishing to ensure and to increase the injury to her , was it not because I , who have never dared to live , but have awaited a permission which never came—was it not because I envied her . Now , despise me if you like ; but , O my God , forgive us all , for we are very miserable !" Despise her ! Do you suppose , Giorgio , that I did so ; or that I did not peremptorily soothe down the hysterical eloquence of the poor lady . I detained her ; reasoned with her ; showed her , as I best could , where the real crime lay ; encouraged her to abide by the laws higher than those of Parliament or man ; undertook that poor Sophy a visit , " and that the unbidden guest should mother would not contemn ; in all of which I Edwardes , whom I felt to be equal to any generous task , however difficult jor hazardous , and ultimately , upon your permission , to let the little human being share our own home . To describe Miss Selby's gratitude might be possible ; but to describe the wonderful change in the poor lady , from a helpless , downcast , colourless shred of humanity _* to a breathing , hopeful , courageous woman , would be impossible . She was stirring , using her courage , living . Again I remind you , that , in material deviations excepted , I am not telling you fiction , but fact . Go down any main street in London , and point your finger at any one of the houses , and you may be wrong if you say that there is a house of sin , of secret law-breaking , of conformity covering crime . But if you say of the whole , that amongst them will be found many a respectable family like the Johnsons , with more than one skeleton in it , then you will be unerringly right . Whether all " society" is so , I do not know : I have as yet seen only sections ; but they are various sections , far apart ; and I have no reason to believe them bad specimens of their class . pent heArt by its first outbreak , again looked speaking resolutely , with clenched teeth , pale should be taken off " on find a home such as the counted on help from Mrs .

Indian Superstitions.—The Indians Beheve...
Indian Superstitions . —The Indians beheve that the thunder is a huge bird , with green back and grey breast , and that the flapping of his wings causes the thunder ( some faint resemblance to the mythological birds of Jove , who carried the thunder in their claws ) They imagine that the heavens are supported by four large poles , resembling large trees ; that the big bird lives in the west , and is only heard when flying east . This is easily accounted for by _* tho fact , of their storms almost invariably coming from the west . They have
a superstitious fear of the aurora borealis , which they call the " medieine fire . " They believe that it has tho power of rendering them good shots , ( an idea arising , I imag ine , from the manner in which the rays of light of an aurora dart about in the heavens , ) and consequently worship it . Of meteors and falling stars they have a great dread ; they believe that they are sent hy the great warriors who aro in the " happy huntinggrounds , " to warn them of danger . —Sui . mvan's Rambles in America .

Shakspeare Und Kein Ende! " Shaespbabe ^...
SHAKSPEARE UND KEIN ENDE ! " Shaespbabe _^ and for ever Shakspeare ! " is the title of an essay by old Eather Goethe , as the Germans affectionately call him ; and it reall y seems one never will hear the last of that " talented writer ; " for if Charles Eean and " great American Tragedians" banish the " bard" from London , and render his " divine productions" insupportable to men , who , like the audience in the prologue to Faust , have not indeed heen accustomed to see the best , but have nevertheless read a great deal too much—Zwar sind sie an das Beste nicht gewohnt , Allein sie hdben schreklich viel gelesen—If , I say , to men like these , Shakspeare ' s plays on the stage are not immensely amusing , what then ? Shakspeare is in our blood : he " breaks out" in various places ! cause !) Islington will . Lear attracts the Islingtonians , not to mention the denizens of Hackney , and Newington Butts ; nay , even the inhabitants of the Strand , Pall Mall , Regent ' s Park , as far as Baj _^ swater , take heroic resolutions , and journey to Sadler ' s Wells to see liow Phelps has disciplined his troupe . Not only there does the Shakspearian humour break out . The Provinces—as you saw some weeks ago—are also occasionally great in this way . And now , a correspondent from Bonn writes to tell me of an English Company starring it in the Rhenish Provinces ! They played Macbeth the other night in Bonn . " Would I had been there . Indeed , indeed , sirs , but this troubles me ! " A German company playing Mantlet in London , and an English company playing Macbeth in Bonn , " must give us pause . " This is what Kossuth would call the solidarity of Peoples ! Unhappily , my informant does not tell me the names of these wandering stars . " Who plays Macbeth ? Is it Mr . John Cooper , T . R . D . L . P Is Binge the Banquo , and Diddear , the Macduff '? One would like to know , in order sympathetically to appreciate the enjoyment of the Germans : " a nation of critics , and of thinkers , sir ! " In common justice—lex talionis — as Germany sent over Emil Devrient to us , we ought to have sent Charles Kean to them ! Apropos , Charles Kean opens the Princess ' s Theatre to-night—and with delicate consideration , which a generous public ought to appreciate—does not open with King John or Macbeth , or any other more ambitious work than the Corsiean Brothers , in which he is excellent . Walter Lacy , who has gone to the Princess ' s to replace Wigan , will have a severe task of it , for he plays in three pieces . A young lady , who has only played in private , makes her debut with Walter Lacy . But where is Bourcicault ? Vivian . If London won't delight in him just now ( et pour Sadler ' s Wells still flourishes upon his works .
