A STARTLED HUSBAND.
How Mr. sIddons saw Izis WIZ Rehears-
fng Lady Macbeth Amer 1nfdafgl,L

Late one night Mr.. Siddons was sitting
by the FIRE in the modest family parior, which, in
that most unasSuming household, served as din
ing room or drawing room, rs the case might be.
lie was smoking calmly his last pipe, and begin
ming TO think about going TO bed, whittier, as this
was not one of her evenings at the theatre, he be-
lievcd his wife had gone already. The house was
sunk In dreamy silence, so was the quiet street out
side; silence only broken aud then by the roll
Of distant wheels The actor had been drawing q
vague picture ofa little holiday trip which he and
Sarah would take next summer, and had fallen
Into half dose in which he was driving down a
country lane all scented with honeysuckle, all
draped with eglantine. Suddenly he was reused,
with start, by hurried footsteps that were flying
rather than running down the passage. Who

wonder, us he jumped up and rubbed his sleep
laden eyes. lie had barely had time 10 let the
question go darting through his BRAIN when the
door Of the room was flung open quickly, as by q
hasty trembling hand and female figure rushed
In. Mr.. Siddous gazed In specchloss astonshment,
not unmIxed with a touch Of fear. There before
| him stood his wife, her fine hair disheycled, her
dress all in disorder, her fce all quivcring with
| strong emotion. In bewildered alarm he asked
her what was the matter, but her only answer was
TO throw herself into his arms and burst into n
torrent OF tears lie sOothed her tenderly, not
knowing what TO think, and gradually she grew
cdlmer Then her words made the mystery plain
enough. Instead Of going to bed, rs he had bade
her do, she had been sitting up studying her part
as Lady Ndc6eLt, and the character had so COM
plctcy absorbed her in itself, she had so entirely
realized the horror of each situation in the play,
had seen II all so distinctly before her eyes, as II
she had been there in the body, that n wild, un.
reasoning terror had seized her. and she had

Crushed by Kc.berVs,

The fate ofthe Jeannette is by this time
in all moral certainty sealed and she is probably
gone the way Of the Sir John Franklin expedition.
The greatest efforts have been made to find some
trace OF her whereabouts, but in vain. All ac-
counts go to prove that last winter was the most
terrible the Arctic regions ever saw within the
memory OF the oldest navigator. The ice barriers
never penetrated so far south, and Commander
Wadeigh, in the Alliance, was unable TO push
further north than zoe of latitude, whereas Hall,
in the Poaris some years ago, went ns high as So.
The Jeanette had an abundant supply of provi-
sons and lacked for nothing In her general equip.

in the event Of being hemmed I'm and crushed by
