Gossip About celebrated Artists.

Carlotta Grisi was noted for highly
poetical habit, which revealed her
sensitive nature. When behind the
scenes, she used to have a nosegay Of
fragrant flowers, roses being her especial
favorites. She would eagerly inhale
their perfume up to the last mo nent,
and then hurriedly throw them TO her
maid when she had to appear on the
stage. While dressing, Fanny Ellsler
was subject to the deepest melancholy,
which disappeared, as though by magic,
at the sound of the music. When dane
ing, she was, as 1t were, electrified by
feverish delight, which sometimes be-
came actually convulsive. Maria Malib-
ran used to draw for half an hour in her
dressing room previous to going before
the public. Dressed as Desdemona or
Arsace she ate mutton-cutlets, sent in
from the neighboring Cafe Anglais, and
invariably yeshed them down with half
a bottle of rare ssuterne. She would
then light cigarette, which she did not
throw away till she was called. Rosini
Stolz. who created" the part of the
heroine ii the grand opera in La Fav--
orita." was fond of chatting behind the
scenes with those around her. She was
one Of the most fearless artists that ever
lived. Stage-fright was something &C.
tually unknown to her, aud she would
break off her conversation to advance
with the utmost self-possession toward
the fat.

A Truthful sketch.

Let man fail in business and what q
wonderful effect it has on his former
friends and creditors. Men who had
taken him by the arm, and chatted with
him by the hour, shrug up their shoul
ders and pass him by with chilling
"how do you do2" Every trihe of bill
is hunted up and presented that would
not have been seen for months to come
but for the debtors. If it is paid, well
and good; if not, the scowl Of the sheriff
meets him at the corner. A man that
has never failed knows but little of hu.
man nature. In prosperity he sails
along gently, waited by the favorite
smiles and kind words of everybody
He prides himself on his good name and
spotless character, and makes a boast
that he has not an enemy in the world
Alas the change. he looks upon the
world in different light when reverses
come upon him. He reads suspicion
in every brow. He hardly knows how to
move or whether to do this thing or the
otber-for there are spies about him and a
writ is ready for his back. To under
stand what kind of stuff the world is
made of, a person must be unfortunate
and stop payment once in his lifetime.
If he has kind friends then, they are
made manifest. A failure is a moral
seive; it brings out the wheat and leaves
the chaff. A man thus learns that words
and pretended goodwill do not con-
stitute real friendship.
