The play selected for the occasion was Romeo and Juliet, in which her father played the part of Romeo, her mother that of the nurse, and herself, Juliet. Her success was so remarkable, it was so evident that she possessed in an eminent degree the talent of the family, that, when the curtain descended at the close of the evening, she was felt to be, both before and behind the curtain, an established favorite. Her first success was followed by other triumphs. As Portia, in the Merchant of Venice, as Bianca, in the tragedy of Fazio, as Lady Teazle, in the School for Scandal, and in other parts of similar calibre, she shone without a rival; since, whatever may have been wanting in the artist was amply atoned for, in the public mind, by the youthful grace and beauty of the woman. The house was nightly filled to overflowing. Her father was saved from bankruptcy, and the old popularity of the theatre was fully restored. A play which she had written in her seventeenth year, entitled Fr

sion, by King John, The Corsican brothers, MacBETHeth, Sardanapalus, Richard III., Faust and Marguerite, King Henry VIII., The winter's tale, Louis XI., A Midsummer night's dream, King Richard II., The tempest, King Lear, Pizarro, The merchant of Venice, and Much ado about nothing. Each of these pieces had a very long run, and in each Mr. and Mrs. Kean played the principal parts. A public dinner was given to Mr. Kean, on his retirement from the direction of the Princess's Theatre. Mr. Gladstolaudits ratified her success. That success has known no retiring ebb, but has steadily increased into such eminence as is only won and kept by commanding talents and unsullied integrity. Helen Faucit's next appearance was made as the heroine of Venice preserved. After that she played Mrs. Haller, and acted the chief part in Joanna Baillie's new drama of Separation, which had, however, only a short life. But her chief success that season was Clemanthe, in Talfourd's Ion, --(of which Ellen Tr

the Sappho, and less of the saint. Mrs. Howe has not yet mastered her splendid powers. When she has fully possessed herself America will be yet prouder of her one great woman-poet; for Harriet Prescott writes too few verses for her fame's sake, and all other women too many. Mrs. Howe's last book is just published. It is called From the Oak to the Olive; a Plain Record of a Pleasant Journey, and is the story of a trip from London to Athens, by way of Paris, Marseilles, Rome, Naples, and Venice. This journey was undertaken in 1867, to assist in distributing American supplies to the destitute and heroic Cretans. The road is old enough, but the traveller had new eyes. Her book is filled with lovely pictures of scenery and people, of high life, and low life, of clear character-drawing, and quaint fancies. More than this, it is profoundly thoughtful, and goes straight to the heart of institutions, manners, and habits of thinking. With the private life of an author, or a queen,
