The Death OF an Enthusiast.

The destinations Of the stage are powerful over
the minds Of youth and especially the impcrfectly
educated IL is truth that but few persons who
receive in carly life the clements Of a good educa-
ton are ever known 10 become enamored of the
theatrical profession. While the English and Ame-
can theatres have had many great upon their
boards, nearly all Of them have risen by untaught
efforts to positions Of pre- cminencc In all our cities
there are thousands Of hard working apprentice
boys aspiring 20 hisrionic fame, or at least TO strut
their brief hour and often have their little by wa
arenas which 10 try their mimic powers. And
while many thus waste what would be the most
profitable Of their iives IL given to useful
pursuits, few attain TO some cleverness aud enter
the life Of the actor, bosct il is with temptations
and yicissitudes.
We End in a ST. Louis paper, of the 29th May,
the following article, which serves 10 illustrate the
intensity Of the nfatuaton Of the victims Of such
aspirations;
"a sad tragedy occurred in this city a few days
since. young lady, who had scarcely counted
seventeen summers, and who was the pride Of n
widowed mother, well as the delight Of a circle
Of admiring friends. committed suicide by taking
arsenic. She survived the administration of the
poIson about twelve hours, and every effort was
made 10 save her, but in vain. With singular re-
solution she refused to divulge the cause Of her
illness, nor was the character Of the poison known
until her death. II was then asccrtained that she
had taken an ounce and n half Of the deeierous
article.
This young creature, who was both beautiful
and highly accomplished, fell victim (strange as
" may seem) 70 private thcatricals. For several
ycars past she had INDUCED passion for the stage,
induced by the practice at her fathers house Of
evening entertainments of a scenic and histrionic
nature. Her father, who died about eighteen
months since on his death bed denied an oft re-
peated request that the dramatic asprant might
adopt the stage az a profession. From the effects
he ncvcr hui cH
melancholy and detected until the day on which
she committed the fatal act. On that morning she
addressed letters 10 her friends, divugng her in
tention and stating the cause. She said that life
had no longer charms for her. and that she feared
not death. One of her requests characteristic
OF her devotion IL was, that copy Of Shakespeare
might be placed upon her bosom in her coffin :
The poor girl was followed 10 the grave by unu-
sually large number Of mourning friends, and
many cheek was bedcwcd that day for the fate of
one go young and 30 full Of promise"

MODERN LEAR.-An eminent trader of LYONS
France, who acquired competency, had two
handsome daughters, between whom on their mar
ragc he divided all his property, condition that
he should pass the summer with one and the winter
with the other. Before the end of the first year he
found sufficient ground oconcude that he was not
an acceptable guest to either. OF this, however,
he took no notice, but hired handsome lodgings,
where he resided few weeks. He then applied To
friend, and told him Of the matter, desiring the
gift of two hundred livres, and the loan of fifty
thousand in ready money for a few hours. His
friend readily complied with his request, and the
next day the old gentleman gave splendid enter
tainment, to which his daughters and husbands
were invited. just dinner was over his friend
was in great hurry, and told of unexpected de-
mand upon him, and desired TO know whether he
could lend him fifty thousand hvres The old man
told him, without any emotion. that twice the
amount was at his service, If he wanted IT, and eo-
ing into the next room, brought him the money.
After this he not suffered 10 remain any longer
in lodgings; and his daughters jealous IL he
stayed day longer in one house than the other Al
the expiration of three four years. spent in com
parative comfort, he died. Upon examining his
bureau, instead Of livres found a note contain
ing these words: che who has suffered by his vir-
tues has right TO avail himself Of the vices Of those
by whom he has been injured; and father ought
never 10 be fond of his children 10 forget what
is due To himself"
