The struggles of nm Actress for Title-An
AmOrOus Lord Fairly Run Down by nm
EnEIish TraGedienne.
The London correspondent Of the New Or
leans Delta, speaking of the British noble
men who had married actresses says:
One Countess out of the many who have
advanced from the ranks, fought her way
manfully--or rather womanly--to the honor
and beset the poor Earl in a dozen different
ways after he had in his inmost aristocratic
heart determined, though he loved the lady,
not to give way to his attachment, and
quarter the family arms with the "busk."
The noble Lord was frightened aud timid of
the danger that beset his heart and kept
aloof; he rushed down to his mothers seat
for a month, but the clever actress was re-
solved to be near him and not let love cool.
She engaged herself to lady of title as a
lady's maid, who was on a visit to the cha
teau, and where my Lord was reading some-
thing philosophic and calming to love; she
appeared rs dimpering, simpering servant,
with note which had Just been written by
herself to him, and delivered it herself. The
nobleman was overcome, begged and en-
treated of the fair lady's maid who naively
expressed her surprise at the observation of
the intellect Of the noble Lord, and thus she
kept up the game for a month, the patrician

the theater Immediately the next night, but
the next night Kitty was there, too, acting
as before, after long and serious illness-as
the bills stated-and certainly she did look

But he resolved to set out for she Continent
to Paris. He was safe there.
No sooner, however, had he, after weeks
recess, made his debut in the salons of Quar-
tier st. Germans family, than the inevitable
actress was there as the Baroness Hechtel, q
German lady, who was introduced by the
same lady who was at his mothers, and
evidently in the plot and who had owned
her as a waiting-woman. The poor lords
head was turned, and he was away per dill

There was no one in the interior of the We
hicle but himself and young man elegantly
dressed, and two old country people, return
ing home. The noble lord soon dropped off
into the land of Nod. They were fifty miles
away from Paris; the night was dark, and
only little ray, dirty-oil streak of illumi-
nation, lighted the interior of the diligence,
as he woke up to his uncomfortable position,

not escape her this time, whether it was her
perseverance, her tears, or the enjambement,
that touched him. it is not for me or the re-

Centipede's Courtship, to say-suffice it that
they were married shortly after, and, better
still, it was happy marriage.
