RACHEL AND HER SISTER.

Many years ago the Felix family be-
longed to the class known as salIlm-
banques, or jugglers, tumblers and
traders Of the country fairs. One day
Sarah and Rachel Felix, aged respect
lively four and three years, were left to-
gether by the roadside while their
parents were engaged at the fair. The
little Rachel saw a lot Of cakes. and at
onco felt hungry. She began to cry for
them, and Sarah tried to calm her.
When the people stopped to inquire
| what was the matter tney were reas-
| sured by the smiles of the two children.
Suddenly an idea came into Sarah's
mind. She began to sing, and her In
| fantile voice at once attracted crowd.
Little Rachel adopted her role instinct
lively. Sne too sang, aud demurely
passed round her apron to receive the
| sous that poured in upon her.
The two ran off to buy cakes, and were
SO delighted with their success that they
| tried it again and again, gOrging them;
selves WIN gingerbread every day. At
length Father Felix caught them at the
trick, and from that moment the two
children were taken into his service,
and forced TO perform for his benetlt.
This was the beginning OF RachePs
dramatic career.
When the family came to Paris, Ra-
chel pursued her studies, and Sarah
he PED the mother tend home that was
poorly provided, aud was often without
sufficient bread. Sarah performed the
same duties when her sister became
rich ana famous, and was noted as a
| rare housewife. She accompanied her
sister, taking the ADMIRERS oil her hands
when there was supertility, aud at
tending in the role Of a lady's compan-
ion the gay dinners and suppers Wnlcn
Princes gave to the great actress.
Rachel died young, as every one knows,
| leaving young children to be cared for,
and, when Mother Felix died, Sarah be-
came the mother OF TIE family. She
had, besides, her younger sister, Lila Fe-
| lix, now famous arLISLe in the tragic
drama, And Sarah did so well Tor this
numerous family tnaJ she became uni
| yersaIly respected. Whom money be-
came scarce she bravely went into trade,
and brought out her famous Fairy
| Water,n winch is the most prominent
cos metic OF the day. Sne gained cor
siderable fortune by il, and, alter pro-
vIding for the numerous Felix family F.,
built home for herself.
The other night she was at the thea
ter, and ON gong out cUul not lind her

her coachlnan drunk. On ringing Ger
bell she got no response, the porter be-
ing in the same condition; anu on going
upstairs she found the Kerosene lamps
extinguished, and the room full OF bad
odors. She flew Into rage at this spec
tacle, as any woman would, perhaps,
and began to reproach her chamber.
