were soon after introduced inIo the Thea

in plays which had hitherto been acted by
men personating women, but that acting
could neither be natural nor excellent
There are several traits peculiar to the

There is ludlcrous anecdote related

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 anclents, indeed, ascribed 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 ashan-
ed, when pretty far advanced in years, to learn to
play on musical instrument And 1hemistocles.

But the walls of the Mansion, (Which had once
been sort Of castle) were thick and massy, and the
evening passed happily along within, while the thun-
der, and the woods and the torrents and the blasts
were all raging without in one united and dismal
howl. These ladies had not passed all their lives
in Highland glen, and they conYersqd with their
guest about foreign countries which they had all ii
s!ted. The harp was touched, and the wild Gaelic
airs sounded still more wildly among the ftful pau
scs OF the storm. She who played and surg was
no sorceress inhabtng an enchanted castle; but
she was young, graceful and beautiful girl of
nineteen, innocent as beautiful, and therefore a
more powerful sorceress than any that ever wound
the invisible lines of her spell round q Knight Of
Romance. Atthe conclusion of one air, Chieftans
Lament, the mother heaved deep sigh and in
the silence that ensucd, the artess girl said to the
stranger who was standing beside her entranced bv
the waking strain, "My poor dead brother used to
love that air., ought not to have sung it But that
mood passed away; and before retiring to rest the
stranger said gaily-" Your wandering guests name

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 friends-as if they we're
betrothed-and had fixed their narriage-dav. From
these visions he awoke, and heard the sound of the
mountain torrent roaring itself to rest and the trees
swinging less hercely i'll the weakened blast. He
then recollected where he was-hs real condition
returned upon him-and that sweet maiden was
then to him only phantom once seen, and ID

from the window, contemplated the gradual dvin,
away OF the storm-the subsiding of torrent that
became visby less and less every mnute-the calm
that slowly settled on the woods-the white mists
rolling up the mountains side-till, at last, beau
tful, 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

Of time teach different lessons, all equally necessa-
n and wholesome perhaps to different hearts; but
before human nature has been sorely afflicted tired
or deceived, its temper is open to kindness and TO
iov; and attracted by the sympathles OF common
nature, why NAV 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 CAV and joyful like light streamngin
upon prisoner through the bars of his dungeon is
the smile on faces not yet bedimmed by grief TO
the man of many mlseries and he who hugs his
sorrow close to his SOUL will often at lay down
that lueful burthen to which he has so long chung
with infatuated despair at the sight of YOUTH beau
w. and innocence, rejoicing before him in untamed,
fearless, and triumphant bliss. There are often, al
50, sudden revelations of sympathy made between
human beings By word, a tone, look, 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 our nature, the paths of human
life would be barren indeed or 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 flowers ex-
pand from bud into blossom, in the course ofa few
sunny and dewy hours Of one vernal morning.
The young English stranger felt this when tie
hour Of his departure was come, and when the Mo-
ther and Daughter accompanied him down the vale
in the dusk of thelevening, on his way from Glen
Cieran, never more to return. Little was said as
,hey walked along, and they who, few hours be-
fore had not known Of each others existence were
now about to say farewell with signs, and almost
with tears. At length the stranger paused and said
Never will forget this day, this glen, and those
t"om whom now part. | will remember them all
When my soul is sad, which It ever must be as long

BY promised joys too long deay'd
BY hopes that only bloom to fade,
BY all that steals the cheeks warm glow,
And wrings the heart withsilent woe,
Damps the gay plumes of Fsncy's wing,
And nips her blossoms ere they spring,
And turns the Ightsome lay of gladness
Fen inits flow to strains ofmadness,
And shades with clouds of care and fear,
The promise of another year.
