Reading.- -Go into the house of some of our farmers and yon will find no newspaper ; no pe riodical of any kind, and hardly a book. Ask such men to subscribe for a paper, and they will tell you that they have no time to read one. But who is so constantly employed as to find no leisure for the improvement of his mind ! Not the farmer certainly, for the long winter evenings afford him several hours every day which he might devote to reading. Not the mechanic, for instances are frequent where the industrious artizans have at tained an eminence,merely by giving their leisure to study. One of the most eminent ornietal scholars of the age is professor Lee, of one of the English Universities, and yet ail his education was acquired during the moments of leisure which, he found while employed as a journeyman carpenter.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, IS&9. Rco ti Uie Philadelphia Visiter. Ail A«ilii>i)iograi»Ly* Or Me marts and Reminiscences of a young Man. CHAPTER 11. la which the author continues his reminiscences of a spouter—imitates Bord Ay ion—writes a tragedy—resigns from the second dramatic asso ciation-joints a third—-a JigiiL—-sickness—con i' uesetnet, fye. Ar. My fondness for the drama was by no meaus abated in consequuce of wnat befell tue “Booiue nua.” i deplored its unlucky fate, it is true, but was philosopher enough uai to waite tune in unavailing regrets, bo, iu spite ol our discom iiitire, several ot us rallied, and set about con structing another stage in another locality which we seiecteu lor oui purpose. Scenery, decora tions, dresses, trap-doors aad so forth, were soon procured again, aud the uight was fixed upon for tho opening ol the “Roselau,” —upon which oc casion, Mr. Crosby, the young gentleman who had s uerateady sustained the part of Virginias, «as to personate < intav.au in the “Mountaineers.” i was cast lor the character of the old and laith iul Roque, The part of Florantbe was to be represented hy the same youug lady who was Virginia upou that eventual night treated of in tiie preceding chapter. Expectation was ou tiptoe. The night of the opening came. There was a crowded, but se lect, audience. Ting—a—hng—ing—went the beil; up went the curtain; on went the play; he scenes shifted well; Octavian did liis best; Muraiitne looked beautiful; we happened to be | perfect in our parts; aud the green curtain de scended at tne end of the piece, amidst the loud plaudits ot a delighted auditory. Our performances were weekly. The second .igiii, we represented “i he Tobacconist,” an amusing farce, altered from “Tne Alcliyrnist” of the celebrated Ben Jobnshu. The part,a!iotted to toe was Face,' of which 1 acquainted myself tolerably, though if was out of my hue, myfoite being more particularly, captains, colouels, lieu tenants, gentlemen, lovers, Ac. In a ridiculous lanuy i was considered first rate. h was while attached to this second this dra n.atiqvc that I oegan to appreciate the writings of Byron, and to imitate him. The likeness of him hat is most in vogue, at present, represents him with rather an elongated face; but the portrait which was considered by competent judges, and acknowledged by himself, to be the best, differs from the former very much. In the latter, the features are not so sharp, and the counter alto gether is much fuller. This portrait es the hard and my own bear some resemblance. They are now before my view, suspended side by side, against the wall, —and l have frequently board the impartial and perfectly uninterested flatteries of those who have taken care, to remark the simil arity—those who know me well enough to knew that it would please me. Byron's hair natur aiiy curled—l wear mine in imitation of his, and often am obliged to iaugh at myself, while stan ding in front of a mirror, with an engraved like ness of the bard to copy from. Alas! vanity I fear will be the ruin of me! Byron is nearly al ways represented with siiirtcollar loose aud his throat bare—in this I am likewise careful to ape him. The perusal of his writings infused into my bosom a sudden frenzy of poetical ardour, and I commenced making rhymes instantaneous \ iv—verse after verse, page after page. In what I wiofe there was not much poetry I believe, fc-.t there was plenty of rhyme 1 know. This, combined witti my passion for the drama, induced me to attempt a tragedy,—to write one. Down 1 -at to it, detetmined to finish t in a week, but did not get through with my task uutil the expiration of six months. It is not so easy to write a trage dy as it looks to be. After its completion, I handed it round to the members of the Roscian tor perusal, and was flat tered hy the generai encouragement with which it was greeted. Arrangements were immediately commenced for its representation among ns, and several of us committed our parts to memory, but ii so fell outtbatit was eventuully abandoned, and my six months’ labor laid on the shell. The occasion of it was this. I had given the part of my hero to Crosby, who 1 considered the most capable of doing it justice. Another member, however, coveted (he part, and strenuously dis puted Mr. Crosby's right. Tho name of this disputant was Crooks. He was considered by many to be as good an actor as Crosby—some went so far as to pronounce him superior. Asa nvatter of course these two were rivals. Both had their pnrtizans frequent disputes occurred upon the subject, and words would sometimes run very high. Croshv stuck out for his right upon the ground that it was the wish of the author that he should sustain the character, —the other put for ward the plea that he had been cast for the part by the manager. This was true; but it was very evident to Crosby and myself, that such a fiat from the manager was eiiher the result of caprice on his part, or else the effect of intrigue, wire drawn by the malicious Crooks; and consequent ly we were by no means disposed to abandon our position. Crooks and his faction were equally inflexible. So it continued; our bickerings were daily; harmony was destroyed; and finally, at one of our monthly stated meetings, a member rose, and moved “that the represeuta’ion of the tragedy be entirely abandoned;” his resolution was promtly seconded, the vote taken upon it, and carried. This was very provoking! I had been sanguine of success, and in the ardour of anti cipation had taken the trouble to transcribe each part separately; which was no slight job. I had worked at it day and night incessantly for two weeks—-scarcely taking time to cat or sleep. Crosby was oo less mortified than myself. It was a triumph for Crooks. True, he and his par tizans had not accomplished their purpose, but they had uevetfheless been the means of preven ting tiro presentation of the tragedy. It was an exultation for his rival that Crosby cosld not brook, lie accordingly informed ine of his in tention to resign from the association. “I’ll re sign, ” said he with a toue of decision.” “So will ],” was my rejoinder, equally deci ded. “Aud I,” said the yo«ng lady who played Floranthe ou tlie night of the opening—between whom and Crosby there existed a close intimacy. The name of this young lady was Naucy Sykes. Crosby, Miss Sykes and I, forthwith sent in our resignations. We joined a third association, kuown by the name of the “Plutonian.” This was sustained by au uncommonly select body of youug men, the most of w hom were very reserved in tlicir manners, aud by no means pleasant com panions. My first appearance upou the boards of the Plutonian was id the character of Young Norval, with which I acquitted mysolf so-so. In the dying scene though 1 made u decided hit — just as 1 closed tuy eyes aud the breath left my body, I was greeted with thunders applause, and, as quick as the curtain touched the floor, up I bounded, elated with success. This association was conducted very creditably. Several of its members were promising youug men, and some of them are now talented actors upon the boards of our metropolitau theatres. For my own part, as a performer I had not much to boast of; 1 was tame and tolerable. Notwith standing my hit in youug Norval, I soon became dilatory, and paid more attention to the charms of one or two of the actresses daring the time of performance than to the performance itself. I was always fond of tbe ladies—almost to a fault. About one of these actresses, (Miss Naucy Sykes) another member (my friend Crosby) aud myself had the misfortune to quarrel. It was a silly af fair all together, and more attributable to the hasty disposition of tny friend than to anything else. One evening, at rehearsal, Nancy was sit ting on the staga-tbroue, smiling, chatting, and in a very good humor, aud she looked so extreme ly pretty, that (notwithstanding Crosby was pre sent) I could not resist the inclination, and seat ed myself in her lap. Crosby who had stepped into one of the dressing-rooms, unluckily return ed to the stage just as 1 was bestowing on his in tended u kiis. Wh»t did he do? He stood still—as still as if, like Lot’s wife, he had been suddenly converted i*lo a pi'lar of salt. His wicked little eyes Hashed, not merely fire, but lightning. lie was amazed ! he was confounded! His feelings were so overpowered, that he could not speak. To think that any oie should dare to kiss his intonded. Aud what did Ido ? I looked confused, and rather sheepishly got up from the young lady’s lap. Siie was a little abashed herself, for she blushed. “Sir,’ exclaimed Crosby, at last finding the use of his tongue, whilst his voice trembled with rage, yon are no gentleman.’ 1 simply answered him with ‘yes sir, I am a gentleman,’ and he retorted—‘you’re a liar!” Now this was very abrupt. Quick ns a thought it reused my dormant passions, and at it we went. The lie direct no man can take. His first blow extracted from my nostril# a profusion of san guineous fluid, and my second or third considera bly obscured his left organ es vision. We dealt our blows freely about tha ears of each ether, for which pugnacious exhibition of our capabilities we were clamorously cheered, and incited to con tinue by the animating gestures as well as verbal encouragement of the bystanders, who manifes ted in various ways the gratification they ex perienced to see us bruise each other’s physiog nomies.—Bruise each other we did, and wofully too. It never rains but it poars. I was not lucky enough to darken the other eye of my opponent, and better would it have been for me there fore if 1 had not obscured tbe one, for his eye sight, as it seemed, wa9 concentrated with more than ordinary acuteness in that which remained. With such precision did he aim his blow s, that as regularly as the hammer strikes the hour on the bell es a clock, did they descend on my unlucky proboscis; both his eyesight and his blows were brought to focus thereon ; and the blood flowed as freely therefrom as water from the rock of Horeb when smitten by the rod ot Moses. Still I held out; still I was cheered on; he continued to bruise my unfortunate nose, and I continued my aim at his remaining eye, with the desperate hope of hitting it and involving him in total datkness. This was fine fuo for the bystan ders—and here the fable of the boye and the frogs occurs to me as very apropos—it was sport to them, but none to nie. My opponent proved too much for me. After contending with him till I was battered, brnieed, and exhausted for breath, 1 gave in anri the bystanders separated us. All this time Miss Sykes had been vainly endeav oring to part us. Tears were in her pretty blue eyes, and her anxiety was intense. “Part them, gentlemen; for Heaven’s sake,” slae eried “do separate them.” “No let them have it out,” exebutned an ill wisher of mine with exultation, perceiving that I w-s getting the worst of it. “Yes, let them fight it out," responded anoth er and just at that moment 1 cried,- “Hold! enough!” My defeat, however, brought with it if* conso lation, for like the “haughty, gallant, pay, Lo-j thario,” I conquered in my turn—in love I tri umphed. The countenance of the fair Miss Sykes was expressive of the deepest sympathy ; she immediately, with the most airaable disinter edness, applied her fm« linen haudkerebief to my unfortunate nose in order to stop the bleeding thereof. Sweet creature ! in the alarm and con fusion of the moment, she thought no more of it than if it had been so much muslin only. And, though 1 smarted from the pain ®f my wounds, though I felt as I never felt before, the sight of her bending over me with anxious solicitude com municated to my bosom a sensation of unspeaka ble delight. Crosby, who was trow sorry for wjiat Vol. T.—No. 40. had happened, like a man came forward and vol unteered his assistance. A carriage to convey me home was proposed. 1 dissented by a nega tive shake of the 'lead, tor I shrunk from the idea of being taken home to my parents m the situation 1 was. They understood me, for it was directly arranged lhat 1 should be taken some where else—but where 1 knew not; anil mv bead began to whirl round, li! e a boy’s top,—s« much so that 1 was incapab'e of further conversation. My eyesight began to tad, and the last incident of which 1 afterwards irtainetl anv recollection was of someone tying a handkerchief over the disfigured eye of Crosby. What immediately took place I was at the time unconscious of. When next 1 opened my eyes they rested upon a large oil-painting of John Philip Kemble in the character of Rolla, repre senting him at the moment lie is crossing the bridge with Alonzo’s child in his amis.—The painting was surrounded with a gorgeously gilded frame; and somehow or other it seemed to fas cinate me, for 1 kept my eyes steadily fixed upen it for a loirg time. I wondered where it came from. A slight noise fiuaily took my attention from it, and I gazed around me. 1 found that I was in h d— but the bed-posts were by no uie;m familiar to me. And then the carpet—was that tin carpet in my chamber ?—no—the colours of it were white and green, and (hem t knew to be wiitu and red. And the wash-stand—no— that was not mine ; it bad a marble-top; mine was plain mahogany. The wash-bowl and pitcher too, they were plain white; mine I recollected had ou them a blue representation of a farm house, cattle, haystacks, river, and trees, with mountains in tlie background. The dimensions of the apartment too, 1 could perceive were smal ler than those of my own chamber ; nor was the bed iu the same position 1 had been used to. This was strange--very strange, nor could I at first account for it. Gradually though tny thoughts began to assume a collected shape, aed my contest with Crosby reverted to my memory. But where was 1 ? in whose residence? How long had I been there? 'These were self inter rogatories 1 could not answer. I made an effort to get out of bed, but found it impracticable ou account of bodily weakness. Thus was l uuable to rise", lost in thought and g azing abstractedly upon the splendid painting of Kembie, when my musings w ere quietly interrupted by the opening of tbs door. An elderly, matronlike, looking lady entered and advanced to my bedside. ‘Ton are better I see,’ she remarked. ‘I am glad of it. 1 feared you, would never recover.’ ‘Never recover!’ 1 repeated. ‘Havel been so ill asthaf, madam ?’ ‘Tou have been very ill,’ t he replied.’ ‘To w hose hospitality, madam, am l indebted for this kindness. This is a strange loom to me. I do not recollect of ever being in it before to day.’ ‘Yes, sir,’ she responded, T have nursed you here these five weeks.’ ‘Five weeks!’ exclaimed I—‘surely, madam, you do not pretend to say that I have been hero that long ?’ This intelligence considerably astonished me. That I had remained five weeks in a state of in sensibility seemed incredible. The nurse howev er insisted upon its being actually so, and 1 had just changed my linen, as w ell as performed tha domestic ceremony of ablution, in both of which necessaries the aid of the nurse was indispensa ble, and was commencing to inquire into the par ticulars of matters, such as, w hose house I was in ? what physician attended me ? Ac., w hen sure enough the medical practitioner marie his appear ance. He bowed respectfully, ar.d took me by the hand for the purpose of feeling my pulse. ‘Ah, much better,’ said he— gk to see it pulse more regular—some fever sid] -must take more of the pills. You will soon be well, sir.’ ‘I hope so.’ ‘No doubt of it. You have only to take plenty of my pills—they never fail.’ ‘Thank you, sir; I shall follow your advice. You have attended me during the whole of iny sickness, I presume? 4 ‘Yes, sir; 1 have had that pleasure.’ ‘I have been, as the nurse informs me, five weeks insensible V ‘Yes, sir; the effect ofyonr bruises. Yon were in a terrible plight—pounded almost to a jelly. Really, sir, it is remarkable that you have survi ved your suffering. Such a case as you presented, sir, it has never, in the whole course of my prac tice, been my lot hitherto to encounter. Had you, sir, seen any human beiDg in the situation of yourself five weeks ago, you would have unhos itantingly pronounced it an utter impossibility that such a person would survive. Bin thank Providence, who to his wisdom ordained that I should be professor of n edicine, I have, as l may say, raised you from the dead-’ Having delivered himsell in words to this ef fect, he wheeled round to the nurse, ‘Mrs. Featherstoues,’ said he ‘Sir,’ replied that lady. ‘Yob will administer one of my pills ovary half hour, if you please.’ •Yas, sir.’ ‘Mind—be ptjßemal—keep your trateh %sfor* you, and be partistlLuly careful to giro them to the patient at regular Intervals of thirty minutes precisely each ’ *Yes err.’ •That’s a good woman,’ laying his hand apv provingl* hpon her shoulder. ‘But doctor?’ said she. •Madam ?’ said he. ‘Dops it matter whether I give (Tie pslls t’o Li Hi io peach jelly or stewed plums ?’ ‘Mneh, Mrs. Featherstooes—it matters much; it is of vital importance.
