mother will take acting so much to heart, she mnst not bo allowed to come to the wings." Upon this, Marion's ma sat up. " It isn't always, nor yet often, that I lalco on so," said slio : " but that play hfii' ; ;s up : bout my sou George, who went away to sea, and whom I shall never see again." Aud then she told her story. George was on the ship Palconia. The men mutinied, and George among them. The captain seized the ringleaders and had them shot. George, who was a mere boy, was left 'with two others on an island in theP'' {'ic. Then his father died at home ; an.J/'lvhmother was left in destitution and •'< F/q6. " Until she," said Marion's ma, v/ie&iae to my aid like an angel, as she is, and saved me from starvation. And if," said Marion's ma, suddenly flaming up, " I could ketch hold of that critic of The Daily Investigator, which Marion was crying over yesterday, I'd let him know what the Bible says about them as judges others, and considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye."

With this somewhat ruixed sentence, Marion's ma concluded. Wo one laughed •. for the story she told was a sad one ; and she told it as one who had suffered, and not like a repeater of bare facts. But, after this time there was a vague report that Marion's ma was not the real article, but a substitute. Still Marion's ma, aud Marion herself had by this time grown to be so much liked by the other members of the company, that even Miss St. Maur refrained from unpleasant remarks. The mild behaviour of Miss St. Maur though, may perhaps be explained by the facttlafc she now reigned undisputed in the position of leading lady ; Miss I)e Vere having taken umbrage and departed. My story must now leap over the winter into the spring. Business was light, except on the benefit nights ; and Marion fell into the habit of glancing over the partially filled house night after night to see whom she knew there. This habit caused her to notice aman of some twenly fire years of age with bronzed face and fall brown beard, who wildly applauded hor, and seemed completely absorbed in watching her movements. One night he appeared, with an enormous bouquet, which he essayed to throw two or three times ; but then his courage failed him, and, after flourishing it before the eyes of the audience, he held it placidly in his lap during the rest of the evening. Marion found herself,as it were, fasinated by him. She saw that she pleased him; and yet he was modest and abashed—a sort of be haviour that was new to Miss Mortimer, both on and off the stage. One night in April, Marion's ma com plained of a toothache, and declined to accompany Marion to the theatre. Marion was perfectly contented a*; this, and de termined to take an omnibus home after the performance. In doing so, an adven ture with a drunken man fell to her lot.

I am now going, by a bold and unvar nished narration of facts, to sacrifice an opportunity of making fame and fortune as a writer. With my knowledge of the exquisite humor of the farce-writers of the dqy, I might fill several pages with descriptions of the person and behaviour of this drunken man. His language, too, might flow from this fertile pen with fine effect, it is so easy, by dropping every al ternate vowel and every third consonant, to transfer to paper the drunken dialect of fiction and the drama. But I will not. With a sigh, I simply record that the drunken man asked Marion for a kiss, and Marion told him to " go away ;" that the drunken man then moved forward, and some one behind him knocked him down into the gutter, where he lay peaceably. Here, again, I nip my description in the bud, and briefly state that Marion im mediately recognised in her defender her modest admirer with the full beard.

"I am very much obliged to you, sir," said she.

" Not as much as I am to you," he re turned. Then in a disconnected manner, he broke forth :—" Oh, Miss Mortimer ! I think you are the greatest actress I ever saw."

Marion laughed, " Then you can't have seen many," said she; " but I cannot stop here any longer. I shall be pleased if you would call on me next Sunday evening, that I may more fully thank you." Need I say that the invitation was ac cepted with effusion; that he went one way perfectly silent for joy, and that she hummed comic songs to herself all the way home. Sunday came in its time, and Marion sat waiting for her visitor. She did not have to wait long. As soon as it could possibly be called evening, the bell rang, and ho appeared. Marion and Marion's ma both rose.

"lam so glad to see you!" said iVlariori, taking his hat; " this is my ma, Mr.—do you know, I forgot to ask your name ?" "My name," said the stranger, "is Bullington—George Bullington." " George Bullington," said Marion's

ma. He looked at her an instant; aud then. With onp tremendous cry of " Mother I" he caught her to his breast. Marion's ma did not die—she did not even faint; she cried, aud he cried ; and Marion herself had just presence of mind enough left to go out of the room and cry and laugh.finally winding up her perform ance by giving three small piping cheers to herself, and indulging in a sort of war dance. Then she went back, and heard George Bullington tell how he had worked his way around the world hack home, and how he grew rich by luck in Australia, and how he came back and hunted vainly for the mother be supposed he had lost for ever. " That was all owing to me," said Marion, remorsfully." "I forgive you," said George Bulling ton.

Of course, Marion cotildn't do without her ma; and, of course George Bullington Wasn't going to be deprived of his natural '"(parent without a struggle. Then, on sub sequent visits, instead of Marion leaving the room, as at first, Marion's ma herself disappeared. The result of all this has •been that Marion Mo.timer has left a vacancy in the position of soubrette to be filled at the Phcenix, This summer will witness the departure of .Viarion and Marion's ma to Liverpool, where Mr. Bullington's business headquarters are to be. This information I gather from a letter to my friend, the mtn&ger; to which letter

a postscript was attached, which, us it is decidedly misty to the manager, and ob scure to myself, I place before the eyes ol an intelligent public :— P.S.—I desire to say a word or two myself, before shaking your dust .off my feet for ever. When I used to get in the way, why don't you blame your attachers; for clumsy they were, and clumsy are, and ever will be, unless changed. In conclusion I would remark that I regard myself as merely a means to an ond ; and as such, trust you will favour ably remember she who now signs herself playfully, " Marion's Ma."

[advertisement.] To the Editor of the Morning News, per favor of Evening Stab. Sir, —I beg to contradict a statement made in the Morning News with regard to Martha Nicholson. She k not au old offender in tbe Police Court; it was her first offence in that Court. It was spite of Mrs. Lamb towards her mother. Had the case gone, there was a respectable witness in Court to prove that the child had no boots. But Mra. Lamb beat the child, and she was afraid that the mother would bring her before Court. That is the reason that Mrs. Lamb charged the child with stealing the boots.—l am, &c, I'a.ik Play.
