DRAMA IL SIENE IN RIAL LII L.
A very Interesting scene IN real life, IN
reference TO one of the mus, popular actors
in New York, was lately related 10 Us, which
is too good to be lost. The gentleman, Who
is the subject of the sketch, has for many
wears occupied an important situation 10 the
Park Theatre but lately took leave OF the
stage, aud freed himself from what Calf
calls the waters, scars and schackies, OF an
actors life, by committing maiHmony.
The LADY who inspired the tender emotions
10 his breast, IS represented as young aud
handsome and moreover, as enjoying good
fortune.-The gentleman no sooner saw her
than hs loved her-snd the lady beheid hin
husband at sight, and exhibited by that
language of the heart Love for love-
He had been so severely pierced by CUPID
dart thai he soon discovered that hts only
remedy for A cure for the heart ache,
would be by Popping the question: He
did so and received for answer Yes
which vas followed BY Lovers Vows, and
finally by Cisndestlne marriage that IS,
SO far as to keep the father ofthe young girl
Al 10 the dark as 1t was reasonably sup
posed that be would be opposed to his daugh-
ier's committing matrmony with and actor.
The marriage kRol Was tied, and the
Love chase being flushed, the BRIDE and
bridegroom were retiring to Comfortable
lod gings, when they experienced Disa-
greeabIe surprise, BY loud knocking at the
door. Il was thrown open and the servant
entered.
What DO you want cried the astonished
bridegroom.
Sir, gentleman IS waiting below 10 see
you replied the servant.
Tell him am just retiring and can't see
him.
The servant went below and coDmunica-
ted the answer TO the unweIcome visitor.
But must see him 7 said the stranger,
20 up and tell your master Gu-i see hun ?
The servant again went up stairs and re.
turned the answer.
Go dawn again, said the bridegroom,
and ask h,n if he comes as a friend or a
foe
The servan, again tripped down stairs
and made the desired i0qmry.
A friend was the ansAer.
THIS was made know q TO the Bridegroom !;
he dressed himself and went below, and 70
his CONSERVATION discovered 10 his unseason.
able visitor, no other than the father Of hiss
bride.
Your name is---p asked the vIsi
tor.
II 8 replied The bridegroom.
You've married my daoshterF
have
d. sou love herr
Il do.
And she loves you Of course, or you
would no, have married her,
She does
What is your busiaessl'
I'm an actor.
Where do you act |!

How much do YOU get for payingr
Twenty. five dollars week
I'm give you thousand dollars 10 play at
home Come, here $ a carnage a, the door,

and I IN furnish lodgings at my house-get
vour wife and 90 home with me-
This was an agreeable surprise to the
bridegroom, who remained for some time
as,ouished, and was at loss what TO say or
do. The tide IN the a.ieirs of men seemed
to be fas, rising upon him--on one side was
exhibited to his mind the paternal reof of
his bride with doors opened to receive him,
and fortune at his control, il he would give
I'D all the pride, pomp and circumstance, OF
his calling. On the other side was the
Park Theatre, and his engagement TO be
FORTE tied only at thousand dollars damages.
He reyolyed the subject for moment IN his
mind.
To be or ne, TO be- that is the question
Whether It's nobler in the mind to suffer
The stings and arrows Of outrageous fortune,
Or 10 take arms against sea OF trouble
And by opposing, end them
The thought was OF but shoi, duration.-
he did not say with Mercurio, u plague on
both your houses but plague on one
/ of them, aud that one was the Pafk house.
The bridegroom acceded TO the request OF
/ his father in law, aud, with the bride, accom
panied him hon..
The next day the father in.law OF the
actor called on the manager of the Park
/ Theatre, aud the following dialogue ensued
Does Mc.--aci here 7
He does says the manager.
i What IS his salary 2
Twenty five dollars a week
We'll, SIR. he has married my daughter
and I'll give him SO, 600 TO play a. home
What is the damage IT he bfeaks his en-
gagement with You
'0ne thousand dollars.
Here's the money said the father, ten
deung to the mauager a check 10 that a
mount.
Il shani take the money, wish TO Sc
Mr.
You had better take the money, for ne
done playing
No, wish to see Mir.
The father left the manager, and soon a
ter Mr.--came 10 the Theatre, aud wei
on the stage.
Mr.-l congratulate you, SAID th
manager here are the articles your e'
:. gagemeBt-they are yours.
The bridegroom returned 10 his dwelhp
TO play at home, according TO the wlsh'
Of his father 10 law, and the FIRST perform
ance was the honey moon with Tire iayo
tie piece Of AIS well that ends wei
o aud the happlest days OF my iie.'
