THE FEMALE TOPPER.

In the recently published correspon-
dence of the countess Of Suffolk and her
friends, is letter written by Gay, the
poet, in which he mentions young lady,
the peculiarities of whose character ex-
cite mixed feeling, in which compass
sion and contempt are so closely blend
ed, that it is difficult to decide which
predominates. His letter is dated from
Tonbridge, July 20, 1923, and is follows:
+" We have young lady here that is We
ny particular in her desires. have known
some ladies, who, if ever they pray
ed, and were sure their prayers would
prevail, would ask an equipage, title,
husband, or matadores but this lady,
who is worth thirty thousand pounds,

MUSIC AND DANCING,

Music, which holds middle rank between the
exercises Of the body and the qualifications of the
mind, was carefully cultivated by the Greeks, and
considered as necessary and polite accomplish
ment. The ancients indeed, ascrbed to this art
the most wonderful effects, believing that it had
charms to soothe the passions, to soften the man
ners, and even to humanize barbarous and savage
dispositions.
On this account, Socrates himself was not asham-
ed, when pretty far advanced in years, to learn to
play on musical instrument. And Themistocles,

otherwise so well accomplished, was thought def
Gent in merit because he could not touch the Tyre.
Even Plato, the gravest philosopher of antiquity.
deemed music Of such Importance, that in his book
OF laws he took much pains to prescribe proper
rules for the regulation of it.
Dancing too reckoned an essential part in
the education of the ancient Greeks. Its principal
aim with them was to bestow on the body an I'M
constrained and easy motion, and a graceful air
Hence even Epaminondas one of the most perfect
characters Greece ever produced, was praised for
dancing gracefully, and for playing skillfully on
the hute.--[ F2ozveys Of ancient History

FEMALE ACTRESSES.

It's not little remarkable that the use
OF scenes and decorations, and the still
greater improvement of assigning to fe-
males their proper characters, were intro
duced at the same time, and that at a pc
Rod much later than is generally sup
posed. Sir William Davenant first in
troduced scenes at the Dukes Old Thea
tire, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, upon the res
toration of Charles the Second, and they
were soon after introduced into the Thea
tire Royal, Drury Lane. About this pc
rlod women were taught to act their part
in plays which had hitherto been acted bv
men personating women, but that acting
could neither be natural nor excellent
There are several traits peculiar to the
female character which no man can com
pletely personate.
There is ludicrous anecdote related,
which happened when Charles the Second
visited the Theatre. The performance
not commencing at the appointed time,
the Monarch sent to inquire what was
the cause of the delay. I he play for that
evening was, "The Merry Monarch,
Scandalous and Poor" The manager
came forward, and begged the indulgence
of His Majesty for few moments, as the
queen was not yet shaved.
The first female actress upon the Lon
don stage was Mrs. Hughes, who acted
Desdemona at Drury Lane in 1868.

ILL LIZA D1Ao
But the walls of the Mansion, (Which had once
been sort Of castle were thick and massy, and the
evening passedhappy along within. while the thun-
der, and the woods, and the torrents, and the blasts
were all raging without in united and dismal
howl. These ladies had not passed all their lives
i'll IIighland glen, and they conversed with their
guest about foreign countries which they had all vi
sited. The harp was touched, and the wild Gaelic
airs sounded still more wildly among the ftful pau
ses of the storm. She who played and sung was
no sorceress inhabting an enchanted castle; but
she was young, graceful and beautiful girl of
nineteen, innocent beautiful, and therefore
more powerful sorceress than any that ever wound
the invisible lines of her spell round Knight of
Romance. Atthe conclusion of one air, Cheftain's
Lament, the mother heaved deep sigh; and in
the silence that ensued, the artless girl said to the
stranger who was standing beside her enranced by
the waking strain, Only poor dead brother uccd to
love that airI ought not to have sung it." But that
mood passed away; and before retiring to rest the
stranger said gaily--" Your wandering guests name
is Ashton "We are stuarts,' was the reply s.
and in an hour the house was buried in sleep
The stranger alone was wakeful Not for seve-
raj years had he been so happy as during this day
and evenings and the image of that lovely girl be-
side her harp, sweetly singing, while the wild
night was roaring in the glen, could not leave his
thoughts. Even when, towards morning, he fell
asleep, she was in his dreams; and then it seemed
as if they had long been frends-as if they were
betrothed-and had fixed their marriage-day From
these visions he awoke, and heard the sound of the
mountain torrent roaring itself to rest and the trees
swinging less fercely in the weakened blast He
then recollected where he was-his real condition
returned upon him-and that sweet maiden was
then to him only phantom once seen, and to
smile upon him no more, He rose at sunrise, and
from the window, contemplated the gradual dying
away of the storm-the subsiding of torrent that
became vsiby less and less every mnute-the calm
that slowly settled on the woods-the white mists
rolling up the mountains side--tll, at last, beau.
tiful, calm serene, and sunny day, took possession
of the sky, and Glen Cleran lay below, in smiling
and joyful beauty-a wild paradise, where the
world might be forgotten, and human life pass away
like dream.

of time teach different lessons, all equally
ry and wholesome perhaps to different hearts but
before human nature has been sorey afflicted, tried
deceived, its temper is open to kindness and to
Joys and attracted by the sympathies of a common
nature, why may not those who strangers to-day,
be friends tomorrow Nor does the deepest attic
ton always close up the fountain of love in the hui
man soul The saddest turn often is sudden resto-
ration to the gay and joyful; like light streamingin
upon prisoner through the bars of his dungeon, is
the smile on faces not yet bedimmed by grief to
the man of many miseres; and he who hugs his
sorrow close to his soul, will often at once lay down
that rueful burthen to which he has so long chung
with infatuated despair, at the sight of youth, beau
ty, and innocence, rejoicing before him in untamed,
fearless, and triumphant bliss There are often, al
so, sudden revelations of sympathy made between
human beings BY word, tone, a look, or a smile;
truth is then conveyed suddenly and easily into their
spirits, and from that moment they rest assured OF
each others affection, and each others worth, as
much as if they had been mutually known for
years. If there not these strong and prevail
ing tendencies in nature, the paths of human
life would be barren indeed the friendship that
springs up over them would in general be sown by
the hand of interest or selflove But nature follows
other processes, and love and friendship at first
sight often spring up necessarily as flowers ex
pand from bud into blossom in the Of few
sunny and dewy hours of one vernal morning.
The young English stranger felt this when the
hour of his departure come, and when the Mo-
ther and Daughter accompanied him down the vale
in the dusk of the evening on his way from Glen
Ceran, never more to return. Little said
they walked along, and they who, few hours be-
fore had not known of each others existence, were
now about to say farewell with sghs, and almost
with tears At length the stranger paused and said,
"Never will forget this day, this glen, and those
from whom now part. l will remember them all
when nv soul is sad, which it ever must be as long
as live. Take the blessing of wounded heart
Ladies, farewell" And his eyes, dim with emo
ton, at that moment met those Of that beautiful
maiden, turned upon him with heavenly express
sion of pity, and at last stained with rrepress
bic tears. black scow was in the heavens, and
darkened the green mount which they stood a
long, dreary sigh of wind came rustng down the
vale, and there low muttering of distant thun-
der. "Ths will be night Of storms,' said the la
dy, looking kindly towards the stranger. "I is not

house $" and huge thunderous cloud, that oversha-
dowed half the vale, argument not to be re-
