Playini a here in minor characters for two months, Mr. si Pope joined a dramatic company and after travel. sam* nto through the principal towns of New York . tate, went to Washington City where he entered q ona" . pcn a winter's engagement at the Adelphi, then B onder Geo. F. Browne's management. In the F winter of 1,49 we find him in New York.at Castle L fore (;arden, and later in the season at the Astor Pia-'e A Opera House, where Hiackett was then playing. T I an 'r. 'Pope remained in New York three seasons F after this. playing alternately at the Broadway and H the (Old Bowery, until in 1"-4 3, he was engaged to by Manager Waldron for the leading business at the latter theater. He subseqnently played at -the the Metropolitan with Miss Julia Dean for one b r'onth-and then for the first time came to this city, where for two seasons he was leading ti 1 B. manm Ben IteBar's dramatic company. But a desire for travel combined with advany w the tageons opportunity to again change Mr. Pope's 8l scene of action, for in May, 1F.5;, he was secured by Julia Dean to accompany her upon what I, Is proved to be a profitable starring tour of a year's duration, through the mountain towns of Califor- Il at a nia. Returning, he played in different Western i cities, among others in Cinocinnati. with Charlotte Cushman, and in laid rejoining Mr. l)eSar in St. pass Louis. remained with him either in that or in this city until 1"61, when he again sailed for the Pa and chic coast, visiting, and with success, (?regon and Nevada and Washington territories. For a while et Mr. Pope turned miner, on Reese river, and in this hing avocation is said to have been as successful as he at had been upon the stage. liunt the rough, outdoor, tl Sa ilfe in the diggings could not long satisfy his edu- to cited tastes, for in evidence of this we find him to agaio playing in Shakspearean characters in 1it%2 al im- at Maguire's Opera House.

We andl the public auticipate t a keen, enjoyment in witnessing the play with such a cast of characters. to Undtme. P. Who is Undine : What is Undine ? These are a ques ions we hear asked at every corner. The uil answer is somewhat thus: I ,-ile. a wa.er 6li nyr.ph, having become enamored of a young n- knight of Lorchausen, surnamed Ile,-Pi t',e I r. D,,itle.., determines to lore him within her toils, a, and for this purpose sends one of her emmie ad saries, disguised as a holy pilgrim, to his castle. 0, where he discovers Sir Hubert, and his boon com c- panions making merry over the last flagon of tr wine left in the old castle. The knight here in- v s, forms his comrades that his father's gold is all j in gone, and announces his determination to destroy it Min-self by ,Jbmpinr into the Rhine. The pilgrim is i,,forms him of an old legend connected with that e- river. in which it is said : "Any knight, being L e- both handsome and brave, who will visitithe dark se waters of the Rhine and gain the love of th In water spirits, may return with wealth and honor '' 13 1: I it, it termines the knight at once. In company v Saith his faihful squire, b;', tist , he visits the to Lurlicberg at midnight when tLudine is said tohold "I her vigils, and beholds the beautiful vision that '- I-res him beceeth the fllwicg waters. The faith t- ful squire determines to follow his master at all bd zsrds, and leans into the water after him. Un- 1 is daie leads .ir Hubert tiirou:h the hoautful st.l. a. actite caverns, and showing him vast treasures of a, which she is mis:resa. receives from the knight a C. promise thlt: if she w:ll pcrc:it Lima to takel bac r e to earth enough wealth to refit his cast!i he will t a. return in three months and make her his bride. Site consents, and he returns, laden with gold and sr jewels. Three months pass, but " Hubert re. P d turns not.' Undaoe becomes melancholy, and k e scnds her demon lKb,,i,,o, n, to disc iver the h w cause of his ahbsence. He die overs Sir II:cbrt . in the very act of marrying the Lady I ;,r. his 1- tirst love.

It had been belt with an aye to the comfortet i1 inhabitants ve rarely founead in thin tenat4bmsd city of ours, whlk plainly evinced that the planm ner of it intended to eecupy a well uas build. I have never sees a mere derable house in any city, and wondering at my gead lack i obtaining such a gem, I took it on a lease rewable at pleasure, for as long a time as I might desire. The agent was uncommonly accommodating anad put the whole place, house and garule, it perfect order, and as I went over its spacius halls and rooms, and wandered through the gar den fragrant with a thousand blended odors of heliotrope, violet, rose and jasmine, and maw where the tube-rose and mignonette, hyacinath and jonquil would in their time pertfhm the air. the alleys shaded with pecau, nd ofange, I was delighted with my bargain and deeply regretted that I could not purchase such a paradise as it seemed to be. I was quite busy for several days getting the house settled to the routinae of daily household duties, and kept every one as busy as bees put ting down carpets, puttinag up urtains and ar ranging the furaiture in the rooms being some what prim.: and ,precise in my notions, at last. I had everything completed to my satisfaction and the menoge worked smoothy once more. There was a beautiful south room that opened upon the prettiest parterre of the garden. This I se lected for my library and maggery. It had bees ltted up originally as a library, and the book cases were as much a part of the room as the Bre mentles were, while at intervals there were niches and brackets for the esatnettes, buts and vases. These were all still there, and were a beautiful collection of copies from world renowned statuary. I determinedjthis should be my own aectum and that here I rwould reign supreme au d um puted evereig In my reelm. I 8tted it up In oak with cushiois, curtains sad carpets, a rioch dark green and only a golden hoed or red cush ion here and there to brighten a little the some what somber tint. In it I put the softest, lowest and moat comfortable chairs, divas and lounges I could procure, and made my den a nest of com fort the homur in Paradise might envy. It has long been the estom in our family to se lect one of the best bedrooms in the house, and far nishing It handsomely, give it the name of "Guest Chamber," and reserve it exclusively for the uo of those friends who favored us with remaining as guests for the night; and I selected the room above my library as the guest chamber of our new house, and furnished intto match in grea eand oak. Although it opened on the grand corridor of the boilding up stairs, there was a circular flight of steps that led from the balcony attached to it down into the garden, so that if the guests chose they could come and go without entering the main corridor of the house at all. When there was no one there the room was locked up and the key kept in a cabinet In my library. November had nearly glided by; the weather was one of those bright balmy spells like Indlia m,,,er we often have here, cool and bracing, and yet not cold. I had been out alil day shopping and making calle., and retormed home somewhat fatigued, and after the family circle had broken up lor the night, sought my own particular sec tuom, and prepared to rest and enjoy a few hourm mental recreation. But tempted by the broad, soft lounge drawn up before the glowing fire that had burned down into that state when there are little flickers of flame Illummsting the bright glowing coals that peep through the white ashes in a thcousand fantastio forms, enabling you to trace all sorts of scenes and pictures in them, I sank upon it and began making castles in the fire. a pastime 1 olten indulge in-and books, pea aad Saper wooed in vain. It must have been near one o'clock when I was roused by plainly bearing steps overhead in the guest chamber, as though some one was slowly pacing over the floor. Startled at the sound, I rose up and listened, wondering if it were possible that some friend had come through the day and had retired before my return home. I could not think it probable. Yet I plainly heard the regular step of some one slowly walking to and fro over head in that room. Getting up and going over to the cabinet, I opened it and foond the key of the chamber quietly resting there, and as I had locked it myself, I felt confident that it had not been left open through mistake. Throwing open the door, I took a lamp from a table near by, and passing through the hall and up the staires ate the grand corridor and on to the door of the guest chamber, I stopped a moment to listen. Not a sound; the whole house seemed buried in sleep, or as though Death held his court there, all was so still. I unlocked the door, and opening it, entered. Neither fire nor light betokened the presence of a guest. On closely scanning the room, I found the windows closed. Those on the balcony were well fastened, and the certains drawn. Locking the door again, I returned to my room beneath anad estened. Again I heard the regular step ti the room above. Looking towards the garden at that moment I was astonished to see, as3ending the circular stairs, a female who was unknown to me. The moon shbone as clear as day, fooding the garden, and her features were plainly visible. I walked to the window and spoke to her, asking her who she was and what was her errand there at that hour, but as I spoke she seemed to fade from view, and the step on whlch she had stood was plainly visible. " Funny, take It all together, ain't it ?" aid I to myself. " At any rate I shall return to the quiet chamber and pas the night with whoever it is now walking there." Going to my bed room I gathered my toilette articles, and taking some wine and a book, made my way there at once. Opennlag a little wood closet In the wail I sooa had a sparkliag fare burning on the hearth, for the back logs and fore sticks were already laid, and it only needed the smaller wood in the closet to make a bright warm fare. While standing before it 1 looked around the room and was more than ever pleased with its pretty dainty appearance. The soft light of the wood fire cast a mellow glow over the oaken furnitore, giving it here a goldea haus, there a bronae tinge, and enlivening the somber tone of the rich dark green of the cushions and cur;tains that swept the floor. Drawing a large armchair near the fire, and yet so placed as to command a view of the whole room. I placed a table near by it, and on it put my lamp tad book. and prepared to read tf left undisturbed. Not a sound, not even a whisper or a sigh fell upon the air, end concluding my imagnation h a been r work I soa became absorbed in my book. My attention was attracted by hearing a drawer i the toilette acrees the room open and shot. tbhen steps pproaced me, ead the sharp rnobstle of a woman's lskirts sweping over the carpet; a chilly, damp air seemed to ill the room and I felt upon my brow and near my mouth the pressuro of lips thabt were Icy sad clammy in their touch, and my flesh shoddered and crawled at the con tact. For the moment I was motionless, but fear could not conquer my cariosity long, and risig from myv chair I slowly and calmly asked, " Who are you-what do you wish I ausk it in the name of Most High." e rusting uno oeasec, thme lght eppeemr e4 that gradualiy asenm4ed the haman form until I could dimly trae the shadowy fgure of a woman. Young and lovely, clothed tin the eatume o the last centuory, sadly she gaed Is my face sa pointed to a spot in the wall near the left had corner of the hearth,just behnlod the wanlscot. "Ah ' I understand, you want me to look there ad find the cause of your onrest." She bowed her head gently. " I will do so us soon as the urorning breaks and willU leave nothinog undoane in my power to soothe your troubled spirit," I said; and as I gazed upon her lovely but mournful face, she faded from my view jst as a wreanth of smoke might do--and I was alon. The first thing in the morning, I senat for a car penter, and taking him to the room bade him re move the wanscotting and ae if there was any way to prevent rats from gnawing there. Idid not choose to tell him that I had any other motives. I stood by whilheh removed the whole and made a thorough search for any place whren the rats could have gnaswed, but neither rats nor anything else did be finad. "Oh! I gsom whoever told yes they heard rate here, was sared at 'Tbhe Darkt Lady' and thought it rats," remarked the ma u b aveo up the search ad commenced replacing the boards. "What doyou mea " I Uked. "Why, madua, aaskin yor parde for ayin It, but ary e about hers kows this room in haunteod by a 'Dark Lady;' but sh don't com but twice a year, and only for a few hobaen them.
