A FRENCH VERSION OF SHAKsPEARE's LIFE.
"William Shakespeare is the title Of new melo
drama in six acts which has been brought out at the
Theater de 10 Porte st. Martin, at Paris. 1t repre-
sents the poet worthless ibertine, who abandons
his wife for actress yet as most aectionate IA
tier as dreaming mystic, yet as splendid swords
man absorbed in the production of his plays, yet
finding time to dabble largely in politics as the
protege, the friend and the enemy of Milford Essex"
statesman, who advises Queen Elizabeth in high
matters of state, and play writer who accepts the
Queens collaboration in the writing of his plays
an humble dependent on her Majesty, and yet,
casion, lecturing her in terms Of insoence which
suredy the iOn-hearted Bess would have submitted to
from no other human being. As the Queen it shows
fawning fondness of spaniel, and at another fly
ing into paroxysms Of rage, and abusing him with
the coarseness of fshfag for loving another As to
Essex, he is at one time represented the magnan
imous patron of the poet and atanother basey Sc
ducing from him the woman he loves.
Then, mixed up with these personages. we have
Queen Elizabeths Prime Minister Milford Winchester
by name, who wants to bride Shakespeare to write
play against Mary Stuart, to get up riots in London
TO betray Essex and to do other sad things. Then
we have "Tom Halfway" Shakspeares brotherin-
law, who, for some unknown reason, is always want
ing to cut the poets throat; and we are introduced
to specimens of the English nobility in the persons of
"Milord Brick and Milford Fastidious,n who de-
clare Romeo and Jueut" pitiabe trash, and get up
clique to hiss it and who afterwards try to run
Shakespeare through the body for presuming to say
these people do through six mortal acts in which they
figure, would be perfectly incomprehensble, for it
is utterly incoherent and without rhyme or reason
Yet to see this arago of nonsense, crowds, we are
told go to the theater nightly. NJ. Ferdinand Dugue

a Lesson to a soold,ng Mother.

A little girl who had witnessed the perplexity of
her mother q certain occasion when her fortitude
gave way under severe trial, said
"Mother, does God ever fret and scold ~
The query was so abrupt and startling that it ar
rested the mothers attention almost with shock
"Why, Lizzie, what makes you ask that ques-
ton 2" sst - p
"why, God is good -you know you used to call
him the Good Man. when was little--and should
like to know il he ever scolded.n
4" No, child no.
"Well, l am glad he don't; for scolding always
makes me feel so bad, if it's not me in fault.
don't think could love God much il he scolded."
The mother felt rebuked before her simple child.
Never had she heard SO foroible lecture on the
evils of scolding The words Of Lizzie sank deep in
her heart, and she turned away from the innocent
face of her little one to hide the tears that gathered
in her eyes Children quick observers; and Liz
zie seeing the effect of her words FASTENED to en-
qnire: SIS IA, ~
"Why do you cry, mother2 Was it naughty for
me to ask so many questions?
1" No, love, it was all right I was only thinking
how bad / have been to scod so much, when my girl
could hear and be troubled by it,
I 40, no, mamma, you are not too bad, you are a
good mamma, only | wish there were not go many
bad things to make you fret and talk like you did just
now 1t makes me feel away from you SO far, like
could not come near you can when you smile and
are kind and oh, sometimes fear shall be put off
SO far never can get back again"
+" Oh, Lizzie, don't say that" said the mother,
unable longer to epress the tears that had been strug-
Cling in her eyes. The child wondered what could
50 affect its parent but instinctiyely feeling it was
case requiring sympathy she reached up and laid her
little arms about her mothers neck, and whispered:
!" Mamma, dear, do make you cry? Do you love
me ?"
80, yes, love you more than can tell, |" replied
the parent, clasping the child to her BOSOM And
will try never to scold again before my little sensitive
girl.n
/" Oh, ] am so glad I can get 80 near to you when
love you so mnch' & 355 I'D
This was an efectua lesson, and the mother felt the
force Of that scripture Out of the mouths
Of babes have ordained strength" She never scold
ed again.
