When the sunrise flushed the earth,
I would have given bim all a-y heart.
Whatever the heart was worth.
If he nad come at the noontide hour.
He would not have come too late;
I would have given him patient faith.
For then I bad learned to wait.
If he had come in the after-glow,
In the peaoe of the eventide,
I would have given him hands and brain.
And worked for him till I died.
If he comernnw the sun has set.
And the light has died away,

MEU MERBILES.
How C'linrloM Vnahmstn Mstilo tbo
(linrtkcteir Painons,
Tbe history of the great nctresa with
the piirt of "Meg Merriles" is thus told
of herself: "Her assumption of this
part happened while she was filling the
rjosition of walking lady at the Park
Theater, New York, in the season of
1837- 38, and was the result of pure ac
cident. John Braham, the great Lon
don tenor, was peforming an engage
ment at the time, and u Beries of light
English operas had been put upon the
boards. Guy Mannering, which was
originnlly produced as a musical drama,
was one of these. The greater part of
the play was spoken, but melodies and
set pieces were interspersed which called
into requisition the part of the vocalist.
The character of ' Henry Bertram' was
assumed bv Braham. while Miss Cush-
man was cast for the humble part of
the young GypBy Mane. As the busi
ness of the play was then arranged, it fell
tothelotof'Marie' to sing tbe cradle song
in the scene where '.Meg' recalls to the
recollection of Bertram by means of the
ballad with which she used to soothe him
to sleep in his childhood. Acting upon
the supposition that her voice was broken
by age, and unequal to the task, it was
her custom to summon tbe young ' Gyp
sy ' to revive the song for her. One day
after rehearsal the leading lady of the
theater was suddenly seized with isdis
position. In the dilemma that arose,
the manager begged Miss Cushman to
go on and read the part ot ' Meg Mer
riles' that evening. Miss Cushman
obligingly consented, but with ao inten
tion of reading the part. She took the
lines to her room, and had them at her
tongue's end by nightfall. 'I had never
paid any consideration to that Charac
ter,' said Miss Cushman;" it was always
my habit to attend studiously to ray own
business, and give no heed to the per
formances of others. When stars were
on the stage, I watched them closely to
learn whatever was possible. At- other
times I confined myself to my in
dividual work. Thus it came about
that I had little idea how 'Meg
Merriles' was dressed or played, and
never having rehearsed the part, was en
tirely iguorant of the business. While
I was conning my lines, and walking
back and forth behind the scenes, wait
ing for the curtain to rise on the play,
the manager came to me again in dis
tress. ' I have forgotten to provide a
singer in the part of the young "gipsy," '
he exclaimed. 'What shall we do?'.
'I don't know, I am sure,' replied I.
But afier thinking a moment, I added:
' Perhaps, when I come to the place, I
can manage to introduce the song my
self I will try,' and thus relieved, the
manager left me. In much trepidation,
I listened at the wings trying to catch
some inspiration from the progress of
the play, when I overheard the closing
words in the dialogue ' Hatteraick ' and
the ' Gipsy V-just preceding the appear
ance of ' Meg' on the scene when one
says of her, 'Oh, she dotes, to which
the other replies, ' but she rules tbe
tribe.' These sentences gave me a sod
den clue to the situation of tbe decrepit
but still powerful queen, and a full
conception of the character flashed
upon me.. I immediately sprang
before the footlights in the
altitude I have ever since taken.
The pose was so novel and striking that
the audience manifested a good deal of
emotion, and whan Braham turned and
discovered me he gave an unad'ected
start of astonishment. This assured me
somewhat, and I went on with the part,
giving it in all important particulars the
interpretation and action which I have
always retained. I saw that Mr. Bra
ham was puzzled throughout the even
LAHOE8T CITY
MEMPHIS, TENN.: THURSDAY
ing; that I was continually surprising
him, but whether pleasantly or not, I
could not tell. As we had not rehearsed
together, and I was consequently igno
rant of the stage business,! had to trust
wholly to mv intuitions, and naturally
occasioned him considerable perplexity.
When I came to tbe cradle song, which
I managed to bring in successfully, Ber
tram fairly glared at me in amazement.
My nerves were sorely tired, but I poured
out in the song, and as I gradually drew
near and bent down over Bertram, slowly
dropping my band on his he&d, I saw
the big tears rolling down his
cheeks. Then I knew I had made
a hit, and felt encouraged to go through
the piece. After the play was over, and
I had gone to my room quivering with
excitement, the call boy rapped at my
door, saying, Mis) Cushman, Mr. Bra
ham wishes to speak with you.1 I arose
in affright, feeling sure he must mean to
reprove me for my inadequate acting.
As I went to the door I framed in words
the excuse that, as I bad not enjoyed
the advantage of a rehearsal, it could
not be expected that 1 should satisfy the
demands of the part. But Mr. Braham
met me with extended hand, saying,
' Miss Cushman, I have come to thank
you for a genuine gratification. If you
had played " Meg Merriles" in London as
you Lave played it here to night, your
fortune would have been made. " Miss
Cushman was bora July 23, 1816, and is
consequently 58 years of age in July
next.
A SEATING SCENE.
Prinrea sml Pr I on tbe Ico
In St. petcrabnrtT.
On the evening of February 11th the
English Skating Club gave a fete at St.
Petersburg on tbe Neva. The grounds,
if one may apply such a word to several
acres of enclosed ice, are nearly oppo
site the English Church, and the club
had converted the usually unadorned
level of their winter freehold into an
Elysian field of ice temples, magnesium
lights, colored lamps, and fires, pavil
ions, and buffets. All round the en
closed space, writes the correspondent
of tbe London Times, were hung chains
of lantps, red and blue and green, fes
tooned in pretty patterns. At one side
was the royal pavilion, with a small
supper room behind, built on the ice.
Opposite to this were two kiosks for
military bands, while at either end of
the skating field were cloak and refresh
ment rooms for the general company.
In the center of the enclosure rose a
castle of frozen-water., a trophy of ice
masonry, converted into a chapolle ar
denteby a blaze of fires and lanterns
burning at its windows and battlements.
Small citadels were also built at the
corners of the enclosed space, their
mimic architecture flushed with Bangal
lights burning within; but the most
beautiful decoration of all was the soft
sunshine streaming from electric or
magnesium lamps fixed at' intervals
round the enclosure.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, the
Duke and Duchess ofEdiuburgh, Prince
Arthur, the Crown Prince of Denmark,
the Czarevitch, Czarevna, and the Grand
Dukes Vladimir and Alexis were pres
ent, and each and all entered heartily
into the skating, seeming thoroughly to
enjoy themselves. It was, indeed, a
welcome contrast and relief amid the
never-ending succession of balls and
dinners, which offer nothing half so
joyous as gliding to and fro over smooth
ice, to tbe sound of music, in the (lash
iag light of magnesium lanterns, and by
the rainbows of ten thousand colored
lamps. Then, also, one had the pleas
ure of seeing princes and princesses in
the flesh as it were, not sitting at high
tables or walking in marshalled pro
cessions, transfigured with stars and
ribands and jewels and long trains, and
taking their pleasure with the rest, as
ordinary mortals, onjoying no special
exemption even from collisions and
tumbles. The Grand Dukes are good
go-a bend skaters, very Jehus in their
furious driving of ladies' chairs, and the
Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edin
burgh, the Crown Prince of Denmark
and Prince Arthur, can bold their own
with the beat. The Princess of Wales
and Czarevna kept their skates on for a
very long time, and it was pretty to
watcn me Bisters gnuing aiong iiaim iu
band, or in a chair with three or four
gentlemen. Sometimes a ring would
form round the great American skater,
Mr. Jackson Haines, watching him exe
cute his marvellously dexterous and
graceful gyrations and gymnastics, ut
terly astonishing to the ordinary skater.
All the while the music played, and it
was near one o'clock before a crowd of
skaters gathered near the pavilion gave
a farewell cheer to the royal and impe
rial skaUrs.
A Polltlrlstn Baacly Deceived.
A Rochester paper reports that a
candidate for a local cflice called the
other day at s saloon kept by a woman
in that city to obtain, if possible, tbe
influence of her husband in his behalf.
Unfortunately, however, the husband
had been dead for six months; but, hav
ing an eye to business tlie woman took
good care not to inform him of the fact,
but simply remarked that her husband
was not in. The candidate stopped
round there for somo time, "setting
them up for the boys," until his patience
became exhausted. Before leaving,
,however, he left a nete with the- widow
to give her husband as soon as she saw
him. This the lady promised faithfully
to do, but at the same time remarked
to a bystander that she was not ambi
tious to see ber husband for some time
to come.
A dog died at Lansingburg, N. T., the
other day, at the age of 21 years. The
old (ellow bad haidiy stirred from his
rug for some days; he arose stiffly, crawl
ed with some diificulty up stairs, visited
every room in the house, seemed to bid
a last farewell to all familiar objects.
' came back to his master's feet and died
without a struggle.
CHICULATION.
EVENING, MARCH 12, 1874.
DUM0XDS ABE TRUXFS.
Tbe Go rp of She Wire of MIL
lionaire Dlasnoad shew,
Mrs. Astor, the wife of the hundred
millionaire of New York, appeared at
the party which she gave at her filth
avenue residence one evening last ween
in a style 'which would justify any re
porter in saying that she "literally
blazed all over with diamonds." On
each of her shoulders she had four stars
the size of silver half dollars made of dia
monds. Her hair was set very thickly
with diamonds, and her head seemed
aflame with them. There was a dia
mond bandeau npon her brow. She bad
diamond ear-rings and a diamond
necklace of magnificent proportions,
Upon tbe two sides of her chest
were two circles of diamonds,
about the size of the palm of the band.
From them deepened lines and curves
of diamonds reaching to her waist, round
which she wore a diamond girdle. On
the skirts of her dress in front were two
large peacocks wrought of lines of dia
monds. There wi;re rosettes of dia
monds on ber slippers. There were dia
monds large or small, bat in every variety
of form, all over ber dress and person,
wherever they could be artistically
placed. She presented an extraordi
nary and dazzling spectacle, as she
moved languidly through the dance
among her friends. One of tbe ladies
present, a connoisseur in precious stones,
who kept cool enough to take practical
observations, says the diamonds she
wore conld not have cost less than a mil
lion dollars, and must have represented
her husband's income lor at least a quar
ter of a year. This same lady, who is
familiar with court life in Europe, says
that the largest collection of diamonds
in possession of any European Empress
or Queen, belongs to the present Ger
man Empress, but she adds that even
Augusta herself could not make a dia
mond show which would begin to com-
?are with that made by Mrs. Astor on
'hufciduy evening of last week. 1
these hard times, the Astors are occa
sionally liberal in their benefactions.
For instance, there was a banquet for
twenty-four given at the Astor mansion
the other day, and in front of each lady's
rjlate there was a gift for her of costly
bonbonniere, exquisitely wrought with
precious stones, and about tbe size of
an ordinary snuff-box, and each lady
was also presented with a bouquet, got
ten up in fashion not to be described.
