PATTI ON THE BRAIN.

[Madame -AdeIjAIDE Path received 800 guineas for singing " Sweet Home," and three other ballads, at the Liverpool Musical Festival in October last. Mr. Banks, from whose po6ms the Evening Stab's motto is taken, has written upon the fact as follows] :— " Eight hundred guineas for singing four songs," The price of a few moments' fleeting delight I Eight Imndred guineas for ftnir little songs- Yet not such as Sappho could sing or indite. O ! fortunate songster ! with fortunate art^ So to ravage the purse without brealang the heart! There have been mighty poets who died singing lays, Wuich will' live and be famous when Patti's un- They were crowned by the critics and won the world's bays, , Yet scarcely could pick up a crust or a bone; Cruel neglect, from the lap to the sod, Was the only pay known by these singers of God! There have been, too, composers whose glorious airs Fell on raen, as the dew of the mom on the flowers,— Constituting a pait of society's prayers, And gilding with sunrise life's dreariest hours— Who have perished in garrets, and no hand to stay The souls of the singers from passing away. " Eight hundred guineas for singing four songs I" No wonder the poet to grief should be brought, When all the gold coin of the gold getting throngs Is heaped upon one who but echoes his thought! " Eight hundred guineas!" A word, sir, from you— Is the world gone stark mad, or say, is it true ? G. Linn.s;t;s Banks.

TWO ACTORS FOR ONE PART.

A LEGEND OP VIENNA. —BY THEOPHILE

GATJTIER

The Imperial Garden of Vienna was deserted. A sharp wind whirled round the saffron . colored leaves, withered already by the first frost; the branches of the rose-bushes, twisted and broken, trailed in the mud. Sbili the main path, thanks to the sand with which it wa3 covered, was dry and fit for walking. Though devaated by the approach of winter, the Imperial Garden was inofc '. wanting in a certain melancholy charm. The long path, with it 3 red arcades, gave at it 3 extremity a confused idea of a hilly hori zon, now shrouded in blueish vapors and the evening fog; beyond, the eye wandered over the Prater and the Danube. It was a picture which would have satined a poet. A young man was pacing up and down the path with visible signs of impatience. His costume, which was marked by a thea trical elegance, consisted of a black velvet frock coat, with gold brandebourgs trimmed with fur, knitted grey trousers, and soft boots, with tassels reaching to the knee. He was, perhaps, twenty-seven to twenty-eight years of age. His pale and regular features were full of finesse, and iron was discernable in his glance and in the corners of his mouth. At the university, whence he seemed re cently to have come, for he still wore the student's cap and oak-leaves, he must have given the Philistines considerable work, and have shone in the foremost rank of lurchens and "foxes." Tke"very limited space to which he re stricted himself showed that he awaited some one, doubtless a woman, for during the month of November the Imperial Garden of Vienna is not propitious to business ap = pointmeDts. .Aa was supposed, it was not long before a younjy girl appeared at the end of the path ; a black silk head-dress covered her rich blonde hair, out of the long ringlets of which the dampness of the evening air had slightly taken the curl; her complexion, usually white as wax, had from the effects of the cold; assumed the hue of a tea-rose. Bundled, as she was, in her sable-trimmed mantle she bore a perfect resemblance to the statue of "La Frileuse." A black spaniel, a convenient chaperone, on whoße indulgence and secrecy one could depend with safety, accompanied her. ?< Would you believe, Henri," said the pretty Viennese girl as she took the young man's arm, " that I have been dressed and ready to go oat for the past hour, but there was no end to my aunt's sermons on the danger of 'waltzing and receipts for Christ mas cakes. I at length made my escape under tha pretext of.purchasing a pair of grey slippers of which I am not at all in need. It is for your sake, Henri, I tell all these little fibs, which I heartily regret, but always repeat. What possessed you to de vote yourself to the stage? It was worth while for you to study theology at Heidel berg so long! My parents liked you, and by this time we should have been married. Instead of seeing each other by stealth under the leafless tre«s of the Imperial Garden we should be sitting side by side by a good china stove in a well-closed parlor, and ; talking over the future of our children. Would that not be a happy lot, Henri ?" " Yes, Katy, a very happy lot," replied the young man, pressing the dimpled arm, under its wrapping of satin and fur, "but ■what can I do. It is an irresistible fascina tion ; the stag© attracts me ; I dream of it at night and think of it by day; I feel a de »ire to live in a poet's creation; it eeems to me as though I had twenty lives. Each role I assume forms a new existence ; all the pas ■ions 1 express I feel. lam "Hamlet," "Othello," "Charles de Moor." When a man is all these heroes it is difficult to resign himself to the humble condition of a village pastor." "This is very fins, but you know right well that my parents will never consent to have an actorfor.^son-in-law." " Certainly not an^bscure actor, a poor wanderer, the jest of managers and the public; but an artist crowne^wifch glory and greeted with applause, better paid th*^ a minister, however exactia^ they maybe, tfeey will be very happy to accept. When I come to ask your hand in a handsome yel low coach, the varnish of ..which makes it a looking-glass for the staring neighbours, and when a big lacquey in jlivery lets down the

steps, do you think then Katy they 'Will re fuse my offer ?" "I do not think so. But -who can say, Renri, that you will ever reach this point? You have talent, but talent does not suffice ; you must also have luck. .And when you become the great actor you speak of the best part of our youth will have passed ; and then will you be still ready to marry old Katy, having at your command the loves of all the princesses of the stage, so merry and so ■richly attired ?" " The future I allude to," replied Henri, "is nearer at hand than you suppose. I have a profitable engagement at the Karn Theatre, and the manager was so much pleased with the way in which I filled my latest role that he made me a present of two thousand thallers." " Yes," retorted the young lady, with a serious air, " the part of the devil in the new piece ; but I acknowledge, Henri, that I do not like to have a Christian wear the mask of the enemy of mankind, and uttter blasphemous words. The other evening I went to see you at the theatre, and every minute I feared that real fire from the in fernal regions would burst from the trap when you disappeared in a whirlwind of alcoholic flame. I returned home very much disturbed in mind, and had terrible dreams. " That is but imagination, my good Katy. In any event, to-moirow the last represen tation of the piece will occur, and I shall don no more thereafter the black and red costume which causes you so mucli displea sure.'" "So much the better! for I know not what vague uneasiness agitates my mind and I am afraid that the role which adds so much to your reputation will not increase your chances of salvation. I also fear that you will contract bad habits amid these heaven-forsaken players. I am sure you no longer pray, ond will wager you have lost the little cross I gave you." Henri cleared himself of this charge by opening his coat. The little cross still glittered on his breast. ■While conversing thus, the two lovers had reached the Thabor Strasse in the Leopoldstadt, and stood before the shop of a shoemaker, celebrated for the perfection of his grey slippers. After conversing for a few minutes at the door Katy entered, followed by her spaniel, but not without first confi. ding her pretty, tapering fingers to Henri's hand. Henri tried to catch another glimpse of his I sweetheart through the pretty slippers and shoes symmetrically arranged on a brass tri angle in the window; but the mist had coated the glass with its moist breath, and he could only distinguish a vague shadow. Then, taking a bold resolution, he turned on hia heels, and . walked deliberately toward the gasthof of the Double-headed Eagle. 11. THE GASTOF THE DOTJBtE-HEADED EAGLE. That evening there was a numerous com pany at the Eagle; it was a most miscellaneous gathering, and the capriciousness of Callot and of Goya combined could not have formed a stranger amalgamation of characteristic types. The Eagle was one of those happy cellars made famous by Hoffman, of which the steps are so worn, so oily, and so slippery that one cannot place his foot on the first without finding himself immediately at the bottom, with elbows on the table, and a pipe in his month, between a pot of beer on one side, and a measure of new wine on the other. Though the thick cloud of smoke, which at once filled the eyes and throat, were visible, after a few minutes, all sorts of strange figures. There were Wallachians, with their caf tans and Astrachan caps; Servians and Hungarians, with long black moustaches, and caprisoned in dplmas and passementeries; Bohemians, with bronzed complexioned, nar row foreheads, and Koman profiles; honest Germans, in great coats, with brandeiourghs; Tartars, with eyes like those of Chinamen : in brief, representatives of every imaginable nation. The East was typified by a fat Turk, who crouched in a corner, and quietly smoked Lattaca tobacco in a pipe with a stem of the wood of the Moldavian cherry tree, with a red earthen bowl, and a yellow amber mouth-piece. These men, leaning on the tables of the place were eating and drinking. The bever age was strong beer, and| a mixture of a new red wine and rather older white wine. The food consisted of slices of cold veal and ham and of? pastry. Around the table whirled unceasingly one of those long German waltzes, which pro duce the same effect on the Northern imagi nation as hasheesh and opium on the Oriental. Couples pac«d to and fro rapidly, the women almost unconscious with pleasure, in ' the arms of their partners. Waltzers swept about with their skirts, to the sound of fone of Lanners waltzes, the cloud of smoke, and fanned the brews of the drinkers. At the counter some Morlachian improvisaieurs accompanied by a guzla-player, recited a B*>**vof dramatico-descriptive song, which seemeiHq, afford great pleasure to a dozen strange indivl^ls, with heads decked with tarbourchs, and dre]^^ l am bskin. Henri directed his Bte^fcraami the rear of the cellar, and seated himseft •* a table

already occupied by three or four jolly per sons in high spirits. "Why, here is Henri," exclaimed the oldest of the party. "Take care of your selves, friends. Farnvm hahet in cornu. Do you really know that you really had a dia bolical air the other evening ? You almost frightened me. Who would ever have thought that Henri; -who drinks beer as we all do, and does not refuse a slice of cold ham, cculd assume so fearful, wicked and sardonic an appearance, and that one gesture from him sufficed to chiil the whole audi ence ?" " Why ! that is exactly the reason why Henii is a great aitiste, a sublime comedian! There is no glory in portraying a character which comes perfectly natural to the actor ; the triumph of the coquette is to play ad mirably the part of the maiden." Henri took a seat modestly, ordered a large glass of mixed wine, and the conversa tion continued in the same strain. Fioni all sides came compliments. "Ah ! if only the great Wolfgang Goethe could have seen you !" said one. " Show us your feet," eaid the other; " I am sure they are cloven." The remainder of the spectators, startled by theae exclamations, looked earnestly at Henri, only to happy to be able to scan closely such a remarkable man. The young fellows who had formerly met Henri at the University, and whose names were scarcely known to him, came and shook hands cor dially, as though they were his most intim friends. The prettiest waltzers directed toward him, as they rushed pe,st, the softest glances of their blue and velvety eyes. One man, alone, seated at a table near by, did not apparently share the general enthu siasm ; with his head thrown back, he kept drumming on the crown of his hat in an absent-minded manner a military march, and from time to time gave vent to an ejacula tion implying decided doubt, i He was a most extraordinary looking per son, though he was dressed like a respect i able burgher of Vienna, possessed of moderate means. His gray eyes were shaded with green, and threw out phosphorescent gleams like the eyes of a cat. When his pale and flat lips parted they disclosed two rows of very white teeth, very sharp, set very widely apart, and having a most j savage and ferocious look ; his nails, long, glistening, and curved, bore a vague resem blance to claws. This expression of the man, however, was only visible by flashes ; Ito the attentive eye the countenance would resume promptly the burgher-like and good natured cast of that of a retired merchant, and one felt surprised at having suspected for a moment so common and unmeaning a face of rascality and diabolical propensities. Inwardly, Henri was shocked at the un ceremonious manner of this man. His dis dainful silence detracted from the value of the enthusiastic praise with which his friends overwhelmed him. It was the silence indicative of an aged connoisseur not to be deceived by appearances, and who had seen better things in his day. Altmayer, the youngest of the party, and Henri's most ardent admirer, could not tolerate his icy manner, and addressing the stranger as appealing to him in confirmation of the assertion made, said : "la it not true, sir, that the part of 'iMephistopheles' has never been better acted than by my friend ?" • " Humph !" said the stranger, making, his pupils gleam, and bringing his sharp teeth to gether with a clashing sound; •' Herr Henri is a young man of ability, whom I highly esteem" but he stills lacks many qualifica tions to play the devil." And suddenly drawing himself up, he asked: " Have you ever seen the devil, Herr Henri V*. He put the question in such a strange and mocking tone that all present shud dered. " This is very necessary for the truthful ness of your pourtrayal of the character. The other evening I was present at your perform ance at the Kern Theatre, and I was not satisfied with your laugh—it was a mischie vous Jaugh at the very worst. This is the way in which you should laugh, my dear Herr Henri." And as if to give him an idea of his views, he burst into such a shrill, piercing, and sardonic laugh, that the orchestra and dancers stopped short in an instant, and the windows of the gasthof shook. The stranger prolonged for some seconds his pitiless and convulsive laughter, which Henri and his companions, notwithstanding their fright, could not refrain from imitating. When Henri and the party recovered their breath the walls of the gasthof were repeating, as an indistinct echo, the last notes of the weird merriment, and the stranger had vanished. 111. THE KERN THEATRE. Some days after this strange incident, which Henri only remembered as the jest of a frolicsome burgher, he was performing his role of the devil in the new play. gjln the first row of the orchestra seats was the stranger of the gasthof, and at each was ! uttered by Henri, he-shook his hat, winked his eyes, smacked his. tongue against his palate, and gave tokens of his impatience generally. "Bad! bud.l",he muttered in »n under tone. :„■,+.: ?.' h ■ ■'" - ' ■'- '-"': '

His neighbours, astonished and shocked by his manner, fepplanded and said : " This gentleman is very hard to please !" At the end of the first act the stranger rose, as if possessed of a sudden resolution, walked over the big drum arid the cymbals, and disappeared through the snlall door leading from the orchestra on the stage. Henri, waiting for the curtain to rise, was pacing up and down behind the scenes, and when he reached the end of his short walk great was his terror when, ttirniiig, he per ceived before him in the middle of the narrow passage-way a mysterious personage dressed exactly like himself, who gazed on him with eyes, the greenish transparency of which appealed in the darkness to be of marvellous depth. Two rows of sharp, white, wide-set teeth imparted a ferocious tinge to his satiri. cal smile. It was impossible for 'Henri not to recog nise the stranger of the gastliof of the Double-headed Eagle, or, in other words, the devil himself, for it was none other. "Ah, ah ! my little gentleman; so you want to play the devil ! You were only passable in the first act, and if you con tinued you would really convey too bad an impression of me to those good Viennese ; people. You will allow me to take your place this evening, and, as you might inter fere with my movements, I shall send you below." Henri had recognised the Angel of Park ness, and felt thatjj he was lost; laying his hand mechanically on Katy'3 little cross, which he always had about him, he endea voured to call for' help, and to murmur a formula of exorcism; but terror rendered him helpless ; he could only utter a faint cry. The devil touched Henri's shoulders with his claw-like hands and forced him through the stage; then, his cue being spoken, he walked on like a consumate artist. The decisive, sharp, F venomous, and truly diabolical performance first the audience. "With what life Henri enters into his role this evening," was heard in every direc tion. The most effective incident was the bitter laugh, which sounded like the filing of a saw — the laugh of the damned blaspheming against the delights of Paradise. No a^tor had ever attaiued an equal power of sarcasm a like depth of rascality. Men laughed and trembled« The assemblage was breathless ; phosphorescent sparks shot from the fingers of the terrible performer; lines of fire shone under his feet; the lights of the chandelier grew pale; the foot lights burned red and green ; a peculiarly sulphurous odour per vaded the house; the audience was almost delirious, and thunders of frantic applause followed each phrase of the wonderful " Mephistopheles," who often substituted verses of his own framing for those of the poet, a substitutioa ever felicitous and ever accepted with delight. Katy, to whom Henri had Bent a box, was in a state of great anxiety; she failed to recognise her dear Henri, and had the vague presentiment of a misfortune, with that spirit of divination which love, the second sight of the soul, bestows. The representation ended amid indescrib able enthusiasm. After the fall of the cur tain, ." Mephistophelea" was loudly called for. They sought him in vain ; but a stage hand told tne manager that Henri had been found under the stage, where he had no doubt fallen through a trap. Henri was unconscious. They took him home, and when they undressed him they discovered with surprise that there were deep scratches on his shoulders, as though a tiger had clasped him in its claws. Katy's little silver cross had preserved him, however, from death, and the devil, overcome by its influence, had been content to throw him in the cellar of the theatre.. Henri's recovery was slow. As soon as he was convalescent he was offered a very lucrative engagement, but did not accept it, for lie was not inclined to risk, a second time, his salvation, and was, besides, aware that he could not compete with the recollec tions of his formidable rival. Two or three years later, having come into possession of a small inheritance, he married the fair Katy, and, sitting together , near a china stove in a small and well-closed < parlour, they talked over the future of their children, as they had once planned. Theatre-goers still speak with admiration of that marvellous evening, and were vastly surprised at Henri's caprice in abandoning the stage just after achieving so great a triumph.
