The eldest laughter has already sc-
quired q ute perfect acquaintance with
the German and French languages, and
with the literature Of her own English.
She has translated and written out the
Don Carloe" OF Schiller. and is busy
at all hours with books. music. or ram
bles. The popu)a, Barrett does not
make his home a stage. There are
clergymen who seem always preaching
and so there are actors who always seem
treading the boards, but MIR. Barrett
packs his art away in vacation with his
wardrobe. 1t was with difficulty that
We could induce him to read aloud O
few simple verses, q night or two since,
and then he read with the modesty OF
o parlor, instead of with the enthusiasm
Of the stage. I find that the mind OF
such an actor. in its book relations. in.
clines to history and biograhy. The
library in this cottage is rich with the
records of the past. As the lawyer is
partial to works on jurisprudence and
philosophy. and as the naturalist de-
lights in Button and Audubon, so, ra-
tionally, the true actor loves most that
history in which parade the men and
women whom he must recall to life.
Mr.. Barrett's shelves are laden with the
best accounts of the worlds yesterday,
from the men of Shakspere to the men
of Sophocles. All these volumes have
been read, for the speech of the owner
shows that he is not one of those mental
beings who buy wooden books by the
square foot. This fact learned in the
cool air of Cohasset; that the actors
profession compasses the preachers
calling in developing the memory.
The many professions called learned
can depend much upon notes and books
of reference, but the actor must make
his memory carry heavy load. Such
brains as Barrett's and Booths are com
PEELED to know by heart vast quantities
Of prose and verse.
