W1YD RIPPLES.
The wear,’ sun was sinking in the west; ,
The wave that broke upon the strand, j
Seemed but a wrinkle on the breast
Of the Kir lake, and when it retche’d the land
It rippled gently. The beach caressed
And thanked it, for its offering of sand.
And then, as though its modesty forbid,
That it. a little wave should seeek the shore,
It rippled back, and, in evening shadows hid,
.Twas lost to me—aye—lost for ever more;
Yet o’er the surface of the water sped
Another wave, and it was wrinkled as before.
Then I thought how very like our joys,
These little ripples on the lake appeared.
Tis coming in: Oh! bow our Lopes it bnoys—
It disappears: Oh! how onr hearts arc seared! 1
Tis gone, and thonvh its going out annoys,
Another comes, and then the heart is cheered.
JIOIRY SOT FOR THE DEAD.
BY ELIZA COOK.
Mourn not the dead—shed not a tear.
Above the moss-stained sculptured stone;
But weep fur those whose living woes
Stiil yield the bitter, rending groan.
Grieve not to see the eyelids close
In rest that has no fevered start;
Wish not to break the deep repose
That curtains round the pulseless heart.
But keep thy pity for the eyes
That pray for night, yet fear to sleep.
Lest wilder, sadder visions rise
Thau those o’er which their ’waking weep.
Mourn not the dead—’tis they alone
Who arc the peaceful and the free:
The purest olive branch is known
To twine about cypress tree.

If brave, and to ourselves but true,
I ask you, what cannot we do!

To ciush and starve us, we create;
The blood we shed on flood and field
Gives greatness to the misnamed great:

Were we but to each other true.

To grasp the rights so long denied?

Rarliel.—A Homily for the Aspiring.
Greatness is so often associated with glaring t
faults of character, that its attainments oniy
serve as perpetual monitorsfof the frailty of our
nature. What a merciful dispensation it is—dark
as it seems—which arranges the counterpoise of
weakness so as to adjust the true glory of ^
strength ! It is this wiseprovision which enables I
us to behold great genius, wonderful talent, or
mighty achievements without being maddened!
by the sense of onr own inferiority, or made i
morose by contemplating the unmingled happi- !
ness of those who, while they tower above ns. j
i have their heart-aches, passions, vices and tears
; as scorpion whips to chastise their arrogancy and )
! to silence our envy. Every revelation of the j
! prominent people oi’ our own times, or of any other j
period, illustrates the prevalence of the law 1 j
have here stated. As if to give fresh comfirma-
tion to this notion, and to keep alive in our hearts i
j the acknowledgement ot its tiuth, there has re-i
centlv been published a biography of one whom [
fortune raised front actual beggary to the most
giddy heights of affluence, and who, surrounded
1 hy admirers, caressed, flattered, and almost idol
ized was cursed with a greed ol money, afflicted
I with relations who had merchandise of her talent
and repaid her kindness by harsh treatment, and •
who herself, not hesitating to barter for fi.thv lu
cre woman’s holiest attribute of virtue, yielded
honor where she did not love, and when at last the
flame of pure affection was kindled in her heart. ;
it was only to serve as a funeral torch for ber who .
died unwilling and unhappy. _ |
In the review last week the suspicion that the
author of the Memoirs of Rachel was a profession
al writer of the masculine gender was playfully
suggested: but as that statement might do in-
justice to a very excellent and high-talented lady. 1
it is proper to correct it here. The accomplished
! editor of Graham's Magazine. Charles G. Leland
F.sq. has called my attention to a feuilleton ot the |
coustitutionnel, in which the writer. M. Florentine .
gives the full name of the authoress as Madame de |
I Barrera, (formerly Madame Georges.) a lady of,
high social standing. Mr. Lelaud. iu remarking ;
upon her personal appearance, quotes the state- j
I rnent of a leading London review that she was .
; -beautiful euougli to redeem a whole generation ;
1 of literarv women from the charge of ugliness.
The "Memoirs of Rachel." as we suspected, is not
the first literary production of Madame de B.; she
, has also written the “Annals of the yueens ot
, Spain,’ and. in addition to her private worth, ha>
a right to respectful treatment for her attainments.
! It would be a matter of deep regret to the reviewer
I if a pleasautrv at the expense of an anonymous
writer should' be deemed au intentioual disparage-
inent of acknowledged talent, or an afiront to a
i lady of high social position.
With this explanation, let us turn from the au-
, thoress to her work. Rachel was the child of pov-
er’v in one of its sad Jest forms: her parents !
| homeless wanderers, and the place of her birth
1 though believed to be Munf, in Switzerland, is !
j doubtful. Brought into the world during the,
peddling excursions of her parents, the first ten
vears of Rachel’s life were years of ceaseless^ wan
dering. and it was a great step ia the scale ot pros
perity which at last enabled the Felix family to j
open an oid clothes shop iu the city of Lyons.
But even then the family finances were eked out ;
by the teaching of German by the father, and the
performance in public of Sarah and Rachel so
graphically described by Madame de Barrera in j
the following passage: “Sarah, the eldest child j
went from one cafe to another singing, accotnpaui-
ed by her youngest sister. Rachel, who collected
the copper donations, and the children not untre- ^
quently trundled between them, on a barrow, a
third child—thus adding to tiie interest they ex- j
cited, and relieving their mother of the care of the
baby for a short time." From Lyons the parents t
of Rachel removed to Paris, and here the same it-j
nerant and perilous life awaited her. Sarah sung*
in cafes aud Rachel varied the entertainment by
recitations. Here it was that thed)-or was open- ,
ed for the career in which she aiterwards became
so famous. A gentleman named Morin, wbo heard
the sisters ina cafe in an obscure street gave them
a letter to M. Choron. the leader of the Conserra- j
toire of sacred music. At this period other life
the great triulrgianne was a little selfish personage
whom no one seems to have loved; and in this sad
school of neglect, with a home in which a varice
and contention were the household gods, this poor
child, consumed by the tire of an unexpressible
genius, was allowed no rest. 1 aught I’’
strive for money; and to guage al. things by their
cash value, who shall wonder if iu after-life she
prized her geniotts and even holier things only tor
their market rates' Her poverty was so great
that in order to purchase a volume of Racine she
sold an umbrella and falsely stated she had
lost it; deceit was thus early implanted iu her
bosom.
Of all persons she was probably most indebted
to Jules Janin for ever rising above the rauks of
ill-paid actors; seeing her perform at the Theatre
Fro arsis Janin set the press in motion to announce
to the world the appearauce of a worthy successor
of Mars and Talma. The feuilleton of the Debats
did for the the “little fright" what in America as
well as iu other countries the newspaper press
very often does—it created for her that reputation
without which genius may puna in poverty and
worth go supperless to bed. From tins time nci
history is only a record of prosperous success at
tended by an ever-increasing greed for nl0ne }
a passion which was stimulated by the grasping
demands of ber family. In the height of her tame
she stooped to many deeds which, bUn ble as
they were, ought still to be charged to the ac
count of her early training. T bus *“® resorted to
numerous exp*jU?ut» *‘uich^ ar»' reueemeJ
from pettiuess by their costliness, fche was re
begging. How much ingenuity she brought to
bear upon her vocation is exhibited in the follow
ing anecdotes:
On one occasion she annonneed to her numer
ous friends and admirers that she had a perfect pas
sion for emeralds, and intended making a collec
tion of those beautiful gems. For this purpose
she had already procured a very fine one which
she complacently exhibited to one of the titled sons
of fortune who followed in the train of the trag
ic mnse as the gift of a competitor in the race for
her good graces. The appeal was understood and
responded to with a contribution of course more
valuable than the specimen exhibited, the last
gift tn turn doing duty as a decoy to draw others
until the collection was large as it was rich and
rare, no one being willing to be outdone by his
predecessor. This manontvre varied according to
the victim played upon, brought into the lady's
jewel casket some thirty or forty of the finest em
eralds in Paris, each gem set with more or less
magnificence and some surrounded with brilliants.
The following year the whim was for rubies, and
finally the lady raised a sapphire tar. When ber
ingenuity for the genercsitv of ber contributors
was exhansted, a jeweller was sent for, to whom
the valued and valuable souvenirs were sold for
the price that could be obtained; the money was
put where it brought in better interest than
in its former more brilliant but less profitable
shape.
The story of the guitar has been told in a vari
ety of ways. The following is reported to be the
most authentic version: Every ene has heard of
the grand visor who had once been a shepherd-
boy and who, having attained to the summit of
power, desirous of being kept in remembrance of
his early poverty, had hung up in a room of his
sumptuous palace the humble garb, the shepherd’s
crook, of his boyhood. A report was long afloat
that, following this excellent example. Madem
oiselle Rachpl had hung on her plded walls the
time-worn guitar of the barefooted street-minstrel.
The groundwork of this affecting anecdote is quite
true, there is a guitar, and that gnitar occupied
a conspicuous and honorable place among the
splendid ornaments ti" Mademoiselle Rachel’s
boudoir. Tiie celebrated artiste had noticed at
tiie house of a friend a guitar of most respectable
antiqui'y.the original color of which had long ago
disappeared under the thick black emit with
which time had coated it. “Are yon much attach
ed to that piece of lumber quoth Racliel to
MadamejS , the owner “would you mind giving
it to me“Oh no, indeed," was the reply, “I
shall be glad to get rid of it." The maid was sent
off with the guitar to Rachel’s lodgings.
A few days after it was the turn of an intimate
male friend to notice the instrument, but this time
it hung enveloped in a beautiful silk net. through
the bright meshes of which its black back was
plainly visible; on the gilded wall of an elegant
boudoir. “VYhat in the world have you there 7’’
quoth the visitor “That," said Rachel, assuming
a sentimental attitude, "that is the humble guitar
the faithful companiou with which, in the days of
my childhood. I earned the scanty pittance be
stowed ou the poor little street-singer.’’ “Good
heavens! can it be possible? How very interesting!
Oh, I beg, I entreat you to let me become the for
tunate possessor of that inestimable treasure ! To
me, to the world, to history, a precious momento;
to future generations, a priceless legacy!’’ ex
claimed Mr. , in the glow of his enthusiasm.
"Oh. I can never, nexer consent to part with it. —
‘•I must have it. at any cost; do not deny me this
gift, to he held as a sacred relic; and permit me to
offr-r vou. as a poor exchange, the set of diamonds
and rubies you appeared to admire some days ago
at the jeweller’s." “Ah well.” quoth the tragic
muse, heaving a deep sigh, “since yon will have it
I cannot refuse you ”
The historical instrument obtained so cheaply,
at a cost of some 59.999 francs, was triumphantly
installed in the aristocratic apartment of its new
owner, who exhibited it to every caller, narrating
its pathetic origin with the emphatic delivery of
a show man at a fair. Unfortunately, the original
possessor happened to have occasion to call on the
noble count, and recognising the present she had
made to Rachel, uttered au exclamation of surprise.
An explanation {followed, given withont malice
prepense: for Madame S.. quite ignorant of the
mischief she was doing, destroyed the romance at
tached to the relic so dearly purchased. Rachel
repented too late not having warned her un
conscious accomplice. As for the count, he could
not forgive himself for having hern so readily the
dupe of his own unsuspecting enthusiasm.
Some one who heard of this successful little
speculation and somewhat doubted its truth, men
tioned the report to Mademoiselle Rachel, think
ing to hear her give it an indignant denial. But
the heroine only laughed,exclaiming, “Poor ,
how furious he was !"
No wonder her co-religionist, Mademoiselle Ju
dith, said: “lam a Jewess, but Rachel—Rachel
is a Jew'." And yet there was a woman's heart
beneath it all, as witness this touching recital of
her return to Lyons:
On one of the off-nights, having dressed very
plainly, the young actress accompanied by a male
friend' set out to visit the different parts of the city
she had been in the habit of frequenting when she
and her sister Sarah were obliged each night to
bring home a certain amount of small coin. _ A
coffee-house in the vicinity of Le Theatre Celestins
one of the minor theatres, was a favorite place of
resort with the poor children. On arriving here
the emotion of Rachel was veryjgreat. Having en
tered with her companion, they seated themselves
at one of the little tables and ordered some refresh
ment: but she could touch nothing: her eyes were
filled with tears, and finding herself recognised
she hastened home.
Perched upon the highest pinnacle of fame the
great anxiety which seems to have possessed her
was to obtain the largest sums of money with the
least labor Her treatment of her associates in
the Theatre Francois was such as to lead to /aw
suits: and she seems to have discarded all sense
ofjnstice and honor in her professional engage
ments. Her father and the whole family evident-
ly regarded her with the same sort ot feelingr they
would have manifested towards a valuable treas
ure found in some parcel of old clothing—the only
question which seems to have disturbed them was
how to make the most of her gift. It was this un
appeasable greed which led them to insist upon
her visit to America—a project to which she was
greatlv opposed: but the news of Jenny Lind s
success, th^ glitter of three hundred and forty
thousand dollars which rumor said the latter had
earned iu thirty eight nights, was too glorious a
vision to permit the Felix family to contemplate
any fatigue or danger which might threaten their
frail consumptive relative.
The history of that expedition is still fresh: but
Madame de B.. states a fact, which if it is correct
ly put is a complete refutation of the charges of
want of taste, appreciation, and liberality which
Jules Janin saw fit to make against the American
people; for according to her account forty-two
performances given here produced the sum of
$13fr.rtfi, of which the share of Rachel netted her
§59,6' 0. How her exertions, or onr climate,
quickened the long slumbering germ of consump
tion—of her return to France—of her journey to
Egypt in hope to shake of the relentless grasp
that was upon her. and ot her death, and the mer
cenary sale of all her effects even to her articles of
clothing, by those miserable relatives who appa
rently would have made merchandise of the nails
in her coffin, the reader will remember too vividly
to need reminding here: but he will find ip tho
work of which this is a very meagre synopsis, all
these events detailed in a manner so graphic that
they read like new facts.
And this is the sum of a life which for a while
astouished the world. This is fame! U nder it
ail the current of Lethe washing out gradually
its foundations: around it the grasping and mer
cenary; who fawn and flatter that they may be
borne on others wings above their native tend;
within it fierce contention, foul outcries of passion
deafening conscience; and above it the same calm
immovable heaven whose lustrious beauty over
arched the chaos in which no man had been
formed, whose morning stars burst into song when
the first rays of the sun ringed the hill tops ot the
new creation, aud whose constellations, once g.it
tering over the arms of Alexander, now glisten as
richlv upon vou. reader, and upon the
