THE SEDAUA WEEKLY BAZOO. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1882. THE FATE OF A FAST YOUNG MAN The following verses were written by a young man confined in the Illinois state prison , and the same sad story is told by hundreds of young men whose downfall is traceable to the evil practices described below : It's curious, isn't it Billy, The change twelve months may bring; Last year I was in Saratoga, As happy and rich as a king ; I was raking in pools on the races, And feeing the waiters with "Ten," And sippiug mint juleps by twilight. And to-day I am here in the "pen." "What led me to do it ?" What always Leads men to destruction and crime? The prodigal son. whom you've read of, Has altered somewhat is his time; He spends his substance as freely As the Biblical fellow of old, But when it is pone, he fancies The husks will turn into gold. Chrmpagne, a bor at the opera. High steps while the fortune is flush, The passionate kisses of women Whose cheeks hae forgotten to blush ; The old, old story, Billy, Of pleasure that ends in ears, The froth that foams for an hour, The dregs that are tasted for years. Last night as I sat here and pondered On the end of my evil ways, There Arose like a phantom before me The vision of boyhood's davg I thought of my old home, Billy, The school house that stood on the hill, The brook that flowed thro' the meadow, I can e'en hear its music still. Again I thought of my mother, Of tbe mother who taught me to pray; Whose love was a precious treasure That I heedlessly cast away ; I saw again in my visions The fresh-lipped, careless boy, T whom the future was boundless, And the world but a mighty toy. I thought of all this a I sat here, Of my ruined and wasted life, And the pangs of remorse were bitter, They pierced my heart like a knife; It takes some courage, Billy, To laugh in'tbe face of fate, When the yearning ambitions of manhood Are blasted at twenty-eight. THE. HENRY V. KISS. Osculation Extraordinary the Passion's Slave Company. Miss Oarlyon Frees Her Mind on John A. Stevens Style of Bnssinff. Post-Dispatch. "Do you know why Miss Carlyon left the John A. Stevens company, which has just closed at the People's?" asked a play actor man of a Post-Dispatch reporter this morning. "No." "Wi-il, it was all owing to the way in which Mr. Stevens insisted on kissing her in 'Passion's Slave.' Miss Carlyon's hus band, Mr. Melville, is exceedingly jealous, and he insisted that hereafter his wife should be kissed on the ear or behind it, instead of on the lips, and out of this fuss the trouble began, which ended in the di vision ef the company. Miss Carlyon, whose name off the stage is Mrs. Melville, was found at the Southern hotel. She is a particularly pretty little lady, with the goldest of golden hair, dark eyebrows and a smile that would melt wax. Likewise she observes the Biblical maxim: "If your foot is pretty, show it," and throughout the interview the scribe some times found himself enthralled with the curves of a pair of joyous gaiters, and then with the curves o1 an exhilerating pair of lips. He told Lis story, and the lrdy pouted very perceptibly when it came to the statement that her husband wanted her kissed on the ear, but laughingly declared there was nothing in it. "Of course I have left Mr. Stevens," said she, "but it was because I did not like him or that exceedingly flat melo-drama, "Passion slave.' " "Aud then it was not a question of kiss ing?" "I must admit that I did not like the way he kissed me. You see Mr. Stevens always used the Henry V. kiss, and it was decidedly unpleasant, as he was neither a husband, a relation or a lover." "That is a kiss that has not reached us yet?" "Oh, it is the kiss Rignold uss in Henry V. As he does it it is not so bad, but Mr. Stevens is not the actor that Rignold is, and the consequence is that every time he uses the kiss the whole house titters, and there is a suggestion of indelicacy about it that is very annoying. Now, don't im agine that I am a prude, for I am not. I delight in love scenes on the stage, but there is art and there is awkwardness." "What is the Henry V. kiss ?" "Well." she blushed and laughed, "what we call the Henry V. kiss in England is this. The gentleman comes behind where the lady is standing and puts both his hands over her shoulders on her cheeks, so that the fingers of both meet just beneath her chin. Then he pulls her head back to his shoulder and kisses her fairly on the lips, keeping his mouth to hers fully two minutes. After he kissed me that way once I always afterwards moved my mouth so that he kissed me on the chin and not on the lips, but it was unpleasant in tbe ex treme. As I say, I am not at all prudish, but I am an artist, and I do not want to use stage business that has descended to the low vari.ety theaters. It is stage etiquette that no gentleman should kiss a lady on the lips. Mr. Stevens has violated this rule over and over again " "Did your husband tell Stevens that he must kiss you on tbe ear?" "On my honor, no. My husband never spoke to him about it, and it wonld be ab surd to ask him to kiss my ear or to kiss me behind the ear. My husband never spoke to Stevens on the matter at all. Of course he didn't like it, and I didn't like it, but I had made up my mind to get away from Mr. Stevens' company as soon asj c uld, and so we resolved to say nothing about the kiss. It would only put me in a most rediculous attitude. All the other mem feere of the company spoke to me ?bout it, but I made up my mind to let it go and get away as soon as I could." "And what will you do now?" "We intend to rest here for a few days, and then I shall put a company of my own on the road in which, by the way, the Henry Y- kiss will not go. I intend to produce English comedy. We have all the funds we need, and I have no doubt we will succeed very well. I don't know what to do about this absurd report about the k:ss of course you must deny it for me The reason I left Mr. Stevens was that his play was very poor awfully poor he in sistid on nine and ten performances in the A-eek, and there were other reaaons ThutV enough for you to say isn't it?' and tin. dainty gaiter tapped imploringly ou the floor. "Of course," said she, "I wouldn't mind aboutjthe liss if it didn't put me in such au absurd light. The idea of wanting to be kissed on the ear is positively dreadful. I don't know how people can imagine such things." THE JERSEY LILY. Mesdames Langtry and La , bouchere Part Company. The Quarrel that Led to the Sep arationSociety's Refusal to Recognize the Star Said to be the Principal Reason Globe-Democrat, New York, December 4. There were rumors of war yesterday, in the neighbor hood of the Albemarle hotel, and also at Wallack'8 theater. No . one knew just what was the matter, and yet every one was sure that something was the matter. It finally transpired that a deep and direful qnarrel had taken place between Mrs Langtry and Mrs Labouchere. No one knew why there had been a quarrel. If any one did know he did not distribute his knowledge gratuitously. The only facts which could be ascertained, were that Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Labouchere had indulg ed in some very elevated and tragic language, but had refrained from taking any undue liberties with each other's hair or eyes, and that Mrs. Labouchere had subsequently picked up her possessions in several large trunks and departed sudden ly, mysteriously but emphatically from the Albemarle hotel It was also stated very definitely that Mk. Labouchere would not go to Boston with Mrs. Langtry to-morrow, but would go to Richmond, Va., to visit a friend. Where Mrs. Labouchere went to-day was not even a matter of con jecture ; every one gave it up at once, and in Wallack's theater there is a great and A GLOOMY SILENCE in regard to all that might, could, would or should have taken place. The members of the management smiled very compla cently and looked as if they had never heard of any disturbance in their lives. Two or three young men, with eye-glasses and elevated collars, inquired at the Al bemarle hotel as to whether any of Mrs Langtry's hair had been pulled out, as they wanted to secure a few locks, but they vent away sadly disappointed in heart aad as empty handed as they came. The explan ation of the quarrel was given to-night by a gentleman acquainted with both ladies, and it may be the correct one. It seems that Mrs. Langtry has been greatly exer cised oyer the fact that she has not been received in society, and she has attributed that fact to the close association with Mrs. Labouchere. The latter lady, it will be re membered, was, before she assumed Mr. La bouchere's name, an actress in England, and the certificate of her marriage to that gentleman has not been exhibited. In ad dition to this, Mrs. Langtry, it is said, has been guilty of the indiscretion ot accepting invitations to late suppers at JDelmonico s and other places, where she and Mrs. La bouchere were the only ladies present. This has raked a storm in society circles. and Mrs. Langtry FEELS HER POSITION KEENLY. It is said that a determination to free her self from entanglements, in the hope of eing ultimately "received," led to the quarrel with her companion. The en gagement of Mrs. Langtry at Wallack's theater having been one of unusual inter est, your correspondent called upon Mr Abbey this evening and asked hiu if he was satisfied with the result. "I should think I ought to be," said the manager. "Mrs. Langtry has played what I believe to be the largest engagement ever played by a theatrical star m this country. Bernhardt took in more mouey. the total receipts for her four weeks being $86,453, while Mrs. Langtry's amount to $61,803.13 But Mdile. Bernhardt played in Booth' theater, which is more than a third larger than Wallack's, and her prices were one third hisrher. I am thoroughly satisfied with the engagement To have equalled Mrs. Langtrj's engagement in actual trans action, Bernhardt should have played to $120,000. The largest night's receipts were those of the first performance, when the seats and boxes were sold at auction, the total being $6,549.75. Next to this came the benefit matinee for the sufferers by the Park theatre fire, whn $2,715.38 was .received. The lowest receipts for any night were those of last Moi.day, $1,400. The largest week was the first, when $t8, 765.25 was taken in " These figures were furnished by James H. Palser, Mr. Abbey's treasurer, who took the trouble to swear to them before a no tary public It was generally understood that the enforcement of the new penal code would not interfere with the trans portation of baggage in express wagons on Sundays. Mr. Abbey, however, was obliged to hire a number ef hacks to con vey the trunks of Mrs. Langtry aild her company to the Grand Central depot to morrow evening. Opinion of Eminent Dr. E. S.

"Clean Gone on the Lily Mr. Fred Gebhart. is How He Followed Her to Boston Jay Gould's Son Presents the Beauty With a $4,000 Diamond. I I Special to the Po;t-Dipa;ch. .New York, Dm:. 6. Ihe young man on account of whom Mrs. Langtry quarreled with Mrs. Labouchere in beyond a doubt Fred Gebhart, a well-known society and club man. He is a handsome blonde, twenty-three years of age, and has, it is said, an income of $80,000 a year, left him bv his father, who was a prominent New York merchant. His father made a great fortune in real estate in this city One half ef his fortune he gave in her own right to his daughter, the beautiful Mrs. Frederick Neilsou. of No. 100 Fifth ave nue, a great society belle at one time, and, like her husband, a familiar figure iu the lohbie? of the opera and theaters on first nights. The other half was bestowed on his son, Frederick Gebhart, at the time of his minority but now turned twenty. His father had great faith in his sou's ability to lake care of the money he left him, and he has not been disappointed, for, notwith standing YOUXQ GEBHART IS JL FREE IiVER, he is ot an economical turn of mind. Mr. Gebhart keeps a stable of racers,owning the Pelham stable, to which belongs the crack colt Eole, said to be the best animal of her years in training in America. He also owns, with Mr. Arthur Hunter, Vampire and other well-known horses. He hay fre quently figured as a rider of his own herses in races for "gentlemen riders" only. He drives a four-in-hand and a tandem, and is the owner of a variety of coaches, carls and carriages. From the first appearance of "The Lily" in this city, some one of the vehicles, with fast trotters and drivers, has been at her command. His sleigh was the first in which the beauty ever rode, and his trotters were the first of America she had ever sat behind. At the Hotel Brunswick it was said that Mr. Gebhart had gone to Boston on Sun day afternoon. Late last evening the clerks at the hostelry announced that he had not returned. His absence and his ad ventarcs were the talk of the clubs to which he belongs, including the Uuion Turf and Coney Island Jockey clubs. Mr. Wright Sauford, in alluding to the adven- ture of his friend, said that Gebhart was a good fellow and he felt sorry that he had made SUCH A FOOL OF HIMSELF in following Mrs. Langtry to Boston. .Pierre Lrorillard was somewhat reticent about the matter. He said that Gebhart had acknowledged to him that he was clean gone on the Lily, but he never supposed that he would have carried things to such an extreme as to follow her to the Hub. At midnight it was reported that Mr. Geo. K. Gould, the son ol Jay Gould, made Mrs. Langtry a present of a $4,000 diamond belore her departure. Don't Die in the House. "Rough on Rats."

"After all, these Virginia City miners have big, generous hearts. The other evening one of them, who was finishing up a week's spree in 'Frisco, stepped out of the Pacific hotel after dinner, and ran against a haggard-looking, shabby-genteel woman, who was weeping on a corner. 'What's the matter, marm ?' said the miner. She told him a sad story poverty, sickness, a large family of children, nothing to do, nothing to wear. 'Is that the best frock you've got?' said the rongh fellow gently. She said it was. He felt in his pocket. It contained just ace $20 piece, which he had intended to devote to wine and wickedness that evening. 'Stop here a moment, marm,' and he dodged around the corner and into a dry goods store. In a few minutes he re turned, and, pressing a small handle into the poor woman's hnd, disappeared with the air of a man who has dose a kind action gracefully. The starving female eagerly undid the package, it contained a pair of embroidered silk stockings."

A modest, pretty looking girl, apparently about eighteen years of age, while riding in a horse-car the other day was greatly annoyed by a well dressed yonng man who was determined to scrape an acquaintance with her. The masher had taken a seat by her side, although there was room enough for him to have maintained a re spectable distance. He tried to engage her in conversation by asking about the resi dences 3s they rode along, but the girl, thoroughly -annoyed and vexed at his fa miliarity, would simply give the name of the owner and relapse into sileuce. But the masher, nothing daunted by the curt answers, kept on with his questions. Fi nally they neared the fine residence which Mr. W. P. Husband purchased a few months ago on Westfield aver tie, and the rude fellow, alter remarking on the beauty of the place, asked the girl if she knew the owner. The girl's eyes sparkled with a mischievous twinkle and ohe blushed prettily as she frankly answered, "Hus b?nd owns it." The masher's face, as he tried to paddle his way out of the dilem ma gracefully, was a picture to gaze at. The idea that this very young girl could have a husband evidently had never en tered his head. The lew passengers who had witnessed the scene enjoyed his con fusion and laughed outright as he hur riedly slid from the car and started tohoof it" up town. There is something in a name after all.

To the countless thousands who have never seen the rare and beautiful drama of Uncle Tom s Cabin the fol lowing: storv of the plot will prove in- structive : Uncle Tom is a white man blacked up and wearing a very bad wig to represent negro wool. He i9 bought bv a small man with a bte voice who is called St. Clair. There is a little girl named Eva, who is al- leged to be iu delicate health, although her physical appearance is robust ; she siniis Bwe t songs about the new Jeru- salem, aud wears bangs. She is the suppositious daughter of Mr. St. Clair and naturally enougn gets masred on Uncle Tom.

She has or rather possesses a blacked up white p.irl called lopsy. This Topsy is as full of deviltry as an egg is full of meat, and she also does some h&d banjo playing and equally had singing. Mr. bt. (Jlan tries to take in ten bar-rooms in one nisht. and is stabbed in the lumbar regions by a bad man in furious side whiskers named Legree. Eva in the meantime has caught cold sitting in a draft and talking about theNew Jerusalem, etc., with Uncle Tom. Therefore she takes to her little chestnut crib, sees angels. and to all intents and purposes dies. 1 his makes two dead people m less than forty minutes. There is a saddle colored lady called Eliza who tries to cross a river, accompanied by her son, wno Happens to be a little girl dressed up in boy's clothes.

In the trouble which ensues, two of the men in cheap wigs are p esumablv killed and Eliza and her little girl in boy's clothes get away. This makes a total of four dead people in sixty minutes.
