Anecdote Of Edmund Kean.

Mr.. Howard Paul, the London corres-
pondent Of the New York Illustrated Neus,
relates, in recent letter, the followin 9
anecdote:
Mr.. Lewis, who has been connected with
Drury Lane for many years. told me char
acterlstic anecdote of Edmund Kean, which
has never appeared in print, and which you
shall have. 1t seems that the great trage-
dian, and Charles Incledon, the popular
singer, were one day walking in Bond street,
when they were met by Lord Essex, who
bowed distinctly to Kean, albeit they were
on terms of intimate friendship. The next
day kean found note at the theatre from
my lord, desiring him to call at his house.
He went, and, contrary to the usual custom,
was ushered into the library, where Lord
Essex received him. The usual formalities
over, the nobleman said to the tragedian,
MY dear Kean, you will pardon me. You
know how greatly admire your genius, but
[ was startled yesterday to find you on pro-
menade, arm in arm with that singing man.
mcledon"
MY lord" Kean began, with flashing
eye.
Pray don't excite yourself-now don't,
my dear kean," pursued my lord "but
the respect-I may say reverence-I bear
for your wonderful genius prompts me to
this explanation"
Lord Essex !'' cried Kean, rising, draw
ing himself up, and casting a withering
glance at his noble patron, twelve years
ago my family were in want of bread
Charles 1ncledon, my friend, supplied the
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1861-12-19

O, THERE'S A JOY.

O, THERE'S A JOY.
o, there's a joy more sweetly fair;
More beautiful and bright,
Than fortunes gilded treasures are,
Or fame's enhancing light!
When o'er life's calm and tranquil str cam
The rays of gladness shine,
And beauty's bloom and fortunes beam
Their fairest wreaths cntwinc,
This, herald of sweeter peace
Than earth OF time bestows,
Inspires the heart to seek its bliss
Where heavenly pleasure glows.
But, oh when waves of sorrow roll
Their inky floods o'er life,
And grief o'erwhelms the bur den'd soul,
With restless care and strife.
When adverse storms and lurid CLEANS
OF dread misfortune come,
And brightest hopes and fondest dreams
Sink sadly in the gloom:
This,-offspring of deathless trust
In the Almighty arm,
That lifts the soul from gloom and dust,
And soothes its wild ALARM
Doth glow with sweet and cheering power,
Unchanged by earthly ill,
And say, though dark Affections low'r,
t<He doeth all things well.''
Then seek this joy more sweetly fair,
More beautiful and bright,
Than fortunes gilded treasures are,
Or fame's enhancing light.
