      « poor Sophy ! And yet , with all her trouble , all her perplexities—yes , I ivill say it—although her thoughts have been crimes , I am not so sure that hers is the worst life known in many a quiet home . Did you ever know what it is to have a life wasted ? " She covered her face with her hands , and the poor , feeble , helpless Miss Selby , flushing with a sort of reckless anger , and relieving a long pent heart by its first outbreak , again looked up straight into my eyes , speaking resolutely , with clenched teeth , pale lips , arid a hectic cheek : " Sophy has fallen , her thoughts are crimes , and

      yet that is not so bad as—to see others live , and only to see others . Have we had no life within us , no feeling ? I tell you that the life within us , when it is- stifled , can kill . Stop , sir—I must confess all . When I spoke this morning , harshly , bitterly , malignantly , of that poor wretched girl , wishing to ensure and to increase the injury to her , was it not because I , who have . never dared to live , but have awaited a permission which never came—was it not because I envied her . Now , despise me if you like ; but , O my God , forgive us all , for we are very miserable !"

      Despise her ! Do you suppose , Giorgio , that [ did so ; or that I did not peremptorily soothe down the hysterical eloquence of the poor lady . I detained her ; reasoned with her ; showed her , as I best could , where the real crime lay ; encouraged her to abide by the laws higher than those of Parliament or man ; undertook that poor Sophy should be taken off " a visit , " and that the unbidden guest should find a home such as the mother would not contemn ; in all of which I counted on help from Mrs . Edwardes , whom I felt to be equal to any generous task , however difficult or hazardous , and ultimately , upon your permission , to let the little human being share our own home . To describe Miss Selby ' s gratitude might be

      possible ; but to describe the wonderful change m the poor lady , from a helpless , downcast , colourless shred of humanity , to a breathing , hopeful , courageous woman , would be impossible . She was stirring , using her courage , living . Again I remind you , that , in material deviations excepted , I am not telling you fiction , but fact . Go down any main street in London , and point your finger at any one of the houses , and you may be wrong if you say that there is a house of sin , of secret law-breaking , of conformity covering crime . But if you say of the whole , that amongst them will be found many a respectable family like the Johnsons , with more than one skeleton in it , then you will be unerringly right .

      Whether all " society" is so , I do not know : I have as yet seen only sections ; but they are various sections , far apart ; and I have no reason to believe them bad specimens of their class .

      SHAKSPEARE UND KEIN ENDE ! " Shakspeaee , and for ever Shakspeare ! " is the title of an essay by old Father Goetlie , as the Germans affectionately call him ; and it really seems one never will hear the last of that " talented writer ; " for if Charles Kean and " great American Tragedians" banish the " bard" from London , and render his " divine productions" insupportable to men , who , like the audience in the prologue to Faust , have not indeed been accustomed to see tlie best , but have nevertheless read a great deal too much . — Zwar sincl sie an das Beste nicht gewohnt , Allein sie liaben . scJireJclich viel gelesen—If , I say , to men like these , Shakspeare ' s plays on the stage are not immensely amusing , what then ? Shakspeare is in our blood : lie " breaks out" in various places ! If London won't delight in him . just now ( et pour cause I ) Islington will . Sadler ' s Wells still flourishes upon his works . Lear attracts the Islingtonians , not to mention the denizens of Hackney , and Newington Butts ; nay , even the inhabitants of the Strand , Pall Mall , Hegent's Park , as far as Bayswater , take heroic resolutions , and journey to Sadler ' s Wells to see how Phelps has disciplined his troupe . Not only there does the Shakspearian humour break out . The Provinces—as you saw some weeks ago—are also occasionally great in this way . And now , a correspondent from Bonn writes to tell me of an English Company starring it in the lilienish . Provinces ! They played Macbeth the other night in Bonn . " Would I had been there . Indeed , indeed , sirs , but this troubles me I" A German company playing Hamlet in London , and an English company playing MacbetJi in Bonn , " must give us pause . " This is what Kossuth would call the solidarity of Peoples I Unhappily , my informant does not tell me the names of these wandering stars . Who plays Macbeth ? Is it Mr . John Cooper , T . R . I ) . L . ? Is Binge the JBanquo , and Diddear , the Macduff ? One would like to know , in order sympathetically to appreciate the enjoyment of the Germans : " a nation of critics , and of thinkers , sir ! " In common justice- —lex talionis — as Germany sent over Emil Devrient to us , we ought to have sent Charles Kean to them ! Apropos , Charles Kean opens the Princess ' s Theatreto-night—and with delicate consideration , which a generous public ought to appreciate—does not open with King John or Macbeth , or any other more ambitious work than the Corsican Brothers , in which he is excellent . Walter Lacy , who has gone to the Princess ' s to replace Wigan , will have a severe task of it , for he plays in three pieces . A young ladv , who has only played in private , makes her debut with Walter Lacy . iBut where is Bourcicault ? Vivian .
