THE SHADOW OF THE WORKING
MAN.
IIY nVOKNP.C. MSK.
Behold yon nwHllv floating bout !
In consclou * might it steams MonI
With graceful lines and powerful frame ,
It proudly beard its living throng.
To distant lands it ploiiRhi Its way ,
And to the ninny wealth doth bring ;
Its tidings from the abaent Irlondi
Arc welcome M the mlling spring.
Yon oo it clcsnvo the restless wave ,
And know old ocean's Bunco 'twill span
But , casi o'er all , can you behold
The rhadow ol the working limn !
Sen. on the locomotive rush
With headlong tpeod o'er iron road ,
Like living , breathing monster , whom
Same unseen powers ouwnrd coa < l ,
Through cities , town * , and shady dells ,
O'er gurgllnc streams and woodlani
glades ,
It speeds ynu on with clang and roar ;
Av , 'noath mountains gloomy shades ,
With crt < o it quickly bears along
I'llpriim of nvcry tribe and clan ;
But d'er each fleeting view dost ton
The shadow of the working matt ?
Come , gor.0 upon this mighty pile.
The spire of which In cloudl.ind dwells ;
Kissed by the sinking un' laat ray ,
An gently chime the distant bells ;
Come viuw itn grandly massive walls ,
Its pillar ? , hallc , and arches true ,
Which are so nootly , deftly wrought ,
Without one flaw to mret the view.
O'er all this blended strength and grace ,
As round it zephyrs gently fan ,
Can you not FOP. In outline bold ,
The shadow of the worklngman ?
Go see the lofty mountain height ,
And there behold the glowing scene
The forest , field and waiving grain ,
The rippling lakes , the nioidotvs green ;
Each hemty of the prospect view ,
All thronged with busy , useful life ,
Where once the gloomy wilds were seen ,
Where savnge revel * ouca were rifo.
Go , look upnn all earth's broad face ,
Keplotowith art and nature's plan ;
And there , in hold relief you'll see
The shadow of the worklngman.
"BASHFUL FIFTEEN. "
Yes , that was her ago when I first
mot her , aovon yean ngo. She la
famous actress now , and exactly twen
ty-Dvo.
Having passed three pleasant yoari
at Cambridge , and become a bachelor
of arta by the least irksome procesi
permitted by university Btatatos , I
found myeolf at twonty-ono yoara of
ago n student at the Upper Temple ,
and the monthly tenant of a couple of
roema on the tirat floor in Gnildford
street , Russell square. As I know
few people in London , and was not
even a member of ono of the univer
sity clubs , there was no opoclal reason
for idleness , and I may proudly con
fess that for the first three months of
my residence in town my jealous mis
tress , the law , know no rival.
But even the stirring period of
"Joshua Williams on Real Property , "
and the sportive facetiousness of "Mr.
Bylca on Bills , " are apt to become
monotonous , and I was on the point
of joining a small Bohemian club in
the Strand , when fate brought mo
distraction from my studies in a more
witching and material shape. This
shape was an ankle.
Of course it was fomluinp ; equally
of course it was trim and dainty. The
first time I saw it a crimson stocking
added to its allurements ; on the second
end occasion it was clad in black.
And , oddly enough , this was the only
evidence I had of the propinquity ol
a young and attractive neighbor , foi
the ankle was always holpin ? its own
er upstairs at a rapid rate , when
ever I caught a glimpse of that
ravishing joint and the flutter of the
dress which accompanied it.
At length , after sundry stray glimp
ses , my curiosity waa fairly aroused ,
and I inquired of my landlady regard
ing the occupants of the rooms above
mo , "Yes , ar , the second floor ,
sir , 'which it's r young woman and her
grandmar , and well be'aved and quite
respectable , though she is a play ac
tress , sir. "
"A play octroBS ? " I exclaimed ;
"which , the young woman or the
grandmother ! "
"Oh , the young woman , sir , which
she is that devoted to her grandmar ,
and quito hafliblo , as ono may say.
They have boon hero ton days , and
they've conducted therusolvos quite
proper. "
I must confess that the fact of the
owner of thuanklo beingan actress sa-
flamed my interest in it to an inordin <
ate degree. I am naturally gregarious
and I am fond of my species , and dur
ing the last three months the oulj
women I had spoken to were the wor
thy Mm. Jones , my landlady , and , the
much bugrimod domestic who attend
ed to the requirements of the lodgers ,
Then , like many young men of simllai
ago , I had an affection for the drama
and the stage , an affection , I may add ,
which , though whetted by ourriosity ,
was ntill tempered with respect. Ol
course I could not force an acquain
tance with the "second floor , " and ]
waa far too inexperienced in the cus
toms of the metropolis to introduce
myself in an apparently natural unpre
meditated manner.
One Sunday morning after break
fast I was stretched on my uncom
fortable eofa , and reading ono of the
late lamented Mr. Smith's "leading
cases. " I was doing my best to feel
Interested in the details when I was
conscious of a commotion up stain.
A minute or so afterward a rap came
on my door ,
"Como in } " I criedaud Mrs. Jones
appeared. She waa sorry to disturb
tao , but the old lady up stairs wet
"took" suddenly ill ; no restoratives
were at hand , and , according to law ,
none were procurable at that tlmo on
Uio Sabbath. Would I , therefore , ba
kind enough to lend her A wine claat
fall !
The application was evidently genu
ine , but , on Mrs. J ones' part , hasty
and ill-cansidorod , revealing as it did
an intimate knowledge of the rc our-
cea of my cupboard. Still , what I had
was , of couruo , at the service of the
second floor.
Pulling open the door still wider ta
allow my landlady to depart I per
ceived on the stairs in front of mo the
figure of a young and beautiful girl.
She waa standing expectant , one hand
resting on the bauitter , and when ehu
met my admiring eyes she flushed
slightly. 8ho was tall and well-made ,
her Blight , girlish figure giving indica
tions of future robuatueHs. A mats
of unt-brown hair , most heterodox- !
cally picturesque , foil round and about
her shapely head , and a pair of full
gray eyes sparkled somewhat defiantly
from under the corresponding number
of light eyebrows.
"Jt'i 811 right , mils ! " qooth the
landlady uncllously. "Mr. Smitl
has been kind enough to lend u
this , " and the good soul hugeod tin
unsympathetic bottle to her matronl ;
bosom ,
The girl stopped down two or throi
stain. "I'm sorry for troubllnj
yon , " she vald to me , "but wo didn'
know what to do , and - after all I sup
pose wo are not the first people win
liavo made each other's acquaintance
ovnr the bottle. "
And then she turned and tripper
lightly upstairs , and a flash of thi
crimson ankle vras perceptible as sh <
turned the corner of the staircase. .
There was a-cortaln abandon in hci
movements which was at ouco Attract
ive and strango. Uor manner And
utterance were easy , and her tone
seemed to imply a thorough mastery
of the situation , and a hint tlmt ,
though she waa young , she wai exper
ienced , and was intimately acquainted
"with her way about. "
Liter on in the afternoon I was
again reclining on the inhospitable
horsehair , and waaaronsod by another
knock at my dour. This time the
Bummona vrai not BO much an author
itative knock as a soft aud insinuating
tap. I bade my visitor enter , and
the door was opened a few inches.
"Mr. Smith , I have brought you
back the the medicine. " Of course
I opened the door wide and bogged the
young lady to corno in , which she did
unconcernedly enough , and placed the
bottle on the side-board.
"I hoar your are a lawyer , Mr.
Smith , " said she , glancing around the
room ,
"Notyot , I'm only at the bar , " I
returned , modestly.
J'But I aupposo you are awfully
clover , and nil that , " she added sim
ply. "Anyhow , you ore very kind. "
"Oh ! don't talk like that , ploaao.
And you , I hear , are an actress. "
"I don't know , " and oho looked
quito pensive ; "I am on the stage. "
"It must bo a very jolly life , " I
suggested somewhat nervously , for I
had never spoken to an actress before ,
romombor.
"It is a very hard life , " said she.
"But you cannot have much expe
rience , " I returned , glancing at nor
youthful figure.
"I began vrhon I was twelve , and I
am now fifteen. 1 have played Arthur
in King John , Mamllllus in the Win-
tor's Tale , and Prince Bright Eyes in
the pantomime/ Quito a wide range
of parts , isn't it ? "
"Yes , I aupposo so , "I remarked ,
"and may I ask whore you are acting
now ? "
She laughed. "Such is fame ! why ,
I am playing in the now burlesque at
the Fortune.1
I apologized for my ignorance , and
assured her that I would go and BOO
her on the following night.
"Do " said she "and mind
, , you ap
plaud my song. I waa encored last
night , so contrlvo that I am again to
morrow. Qood'by , " she continued ,
moving towardo the door. "I never
talked to a lawyer before. "
"And I have never spoken to an ac
tress until to-day , " quoth I.
"How do you like it ? " asked oho.
"Immensely ; pray glvo mo another
opportunity. What do you think of a
lawyer ? "
> rl don't think of him at all just at
present I have something bettor to
do ; " and with that she vanished.
Yes , she was born piquant and re
pelling ; but the novelty of the ac
quaintance waa pleasing , and the next
evening found mo seated in a stall at
the Theatre Royal Fortune.
The performance waa dull and in
sipid. Perversions and contortions of
the queen's English in the shape of
puns never inspired mo with a pro
found sense of the educational use of
the drama , and I was then neither
young enough or old enough to ap
preciate an exhibition of shapely
limbs , painted faces and dresses of an
impossible hue , Still I applauded
Miss Minnie May's song , and waa
Bomowhat disappointed that she never
bestowed upon mo so much as a glance
of recognition. I wnnt back to my
rooms immediately after the curtain
foil , and prepared for a couple of
hours' spell at "Taylor on Evidence. "
I had been seated at my table but a
few minutes when a light rap sounded
at my door. I opened it , and there
was'Mie.8 Minnie May.
"Well , " she said impatiently , "how
did you like it ? llow did it go ? "
"I don't know much about bur
lesques , Miss May , but the audience
seemed amused , "
(
"Yeo , they encored ray song. ]
have made a hit , I feel certain. You
didn't applaud , though , I was watch
ing you. "
"Indeed I did ; 1 split my glovoi
over it. Look here , " and I showed
her circumstantial evidence of mj
eeul.
eeul."Oh
"Oh , I dare say you split thorn ap
plauding somebody else ; that fright
that plays Prince Oamaralzaman , witli
the padded logs. "
"No ; I agree with you that she is a
fright. I didn't applaud her. "
"Mind you never do. She ia o
wretch. And now I shall expect you
to coinu to the Fortune at least three
dua u week. It will do yon good ]
you aptmd far too much tlmo ovoi
those abominable books. " And then
she asked demurely whether I would
not go upstairs and be introduced ta
grandmamma , who was anxious to
thank me for my prompt sympathy ol
the previous day , "You won t bo too
booked , I suppose , " she laughed , a * I
followed her upstairs.
Grandmamma was a faded old lady
dressed in black , and her conversation
generally received itself into uninter
esting reminiscences of bygone tri
umphs. For he had been the darling
of provincial theaters years ago , poor
old eoul , and lived as comfortable as
she could on recollections of the past
and A pittance of the present ,
\To had a cheerful little supper of
poached ugga and brown stout. Miss
Minute prattled away , grandmamma
was cilontly appreciative and listened
and le&rnt. Aftorwrard Minnie showed
mo her album , and her aged relative
showed aymptoms of impending sloop
in her arm chair. I admired the pho
tographs as well as I know how ,
"But you haven't told mo what you
think of my acting ? " she exclaimed
buddenly.
"Haven't I ? Well , you are young
yet. Are you sure that you like the
Rtago ? " For , to tell the truth , Mise
Minnie May had not inspired mo with
any belief in her histrionic goniui.
' Like thoBtafc.e ? " she inquired , nur *
prised. "Why , I'm a born actresi.
Ohol you don't think BO ? "
I modestly deprecated any flush Idea.
"Never mind , Mr , Smith , before

you that I can net. Not an actress ,
indondl' And the impo'uous young
damsel aoomod ready to cry. Pres
ently I cfttno to the last pngo of the
album , and my eyes ouight n portrait
of a girl whom I took for horm'lf.
"Oh , that is not like yon , " I ex
claimed.
"Who Baid it was ? " Then she
paused and laughed softly to herself.
"That is a portrait of my sis tor. "
"Indeed ? "
"Yo . wo are very much alike. "
"Is she an actress , too } "
"Sho is on the stage. And now
good night ; don't sit up and road law.
Go to sleep and dream of "
"Prince Oamaralzaman ? "
"By all moans , if you can. "
For the next live or six days I B&W
but llttlo of Miss Minnie May. In
fact , I rather avoided hor. As 1 was
absent all day In the chambers of a
special pleader I ran nc chance of en
countering this "maiden of bashful
fifteen" in broad daylight , aud at
night about the time she usually came
homo from the theatre I made a prac
tice of smoking a cigar and sauntering
round Russian square. However ,
on Sunday morning , she tapped on my
door. I received her ceremoniously.
"Don't try and act Mr. Smith. "
said she , quickly perceiving my awk
wardness , "lcav < 5 that to mo. I am
como to say good-by. "
' ? "
Good-by
"Yes ; I have a better engagement
at Liverpool ; moro money and a com
edy part. You see there are some
people who believe in my acting. "
"My dear Misa May , pray don't
think I undervalue your talents "
"I wanted to toll you that my sister
is coming up from Glasgow to take
part in the burlesque at the Fortune.
My Blator , you BUW har photograph
the other evening. She isn't a bit
like mo , except in appearance ; and I
want you to be kind to her , and , if I
may venture to ask a favor , to oce her
homo froln the thcatro the firat two
or three nights. She ia rather timid ,
you know , and doesn't know her wny
about as I do. "
The request astonished me slightly ,
but of course I could only promise to
do what was required.
"And what are you going to do to
night ? " flho asked.
"I have promised to dine at Xioh-
mend with some friends. Iqodmn
in the afternoon , and shall not return
until about 12. "
Oh ! very well. I Blartjjby the
night train , and Mildred arrives about
10. Good-by , Mr. Smith ; when wo
meet'again I hope to bo able to con
vince you that I am an actress. "
I dined at the Star and U art or that
evening , aud spent a few merry hours
with some old college friends , and re
turned homo about midnight. When
I reached my lodging I found the begrimed -
grimed domestic and a young girl en
deavoring to carry a heavy box up
stairs. Of courao I offered my nor-
vices , which were gracefully accepted.
The lady , who waa , of course , Miss
Mildred May , lot go the handle of the
trunk , which I promptly grasped and
dragged up to the sitting room above.
As I was leaving the apartment she
entered.
"Mlsa Mildred May , I presume ? "
I asked , bowing. She bowed a mute
acknowledgment and passed into the
room. I looked at her eomowhat cu
riously , and not without admiration ,
Her figure was more womanly than her
ulster's , and her costume was plainer.
There was an air of almost matronly
dignity about her aft she moved. Her
hair was droesed plainly , and I noticed
that unlike her Bister , she were no
rings ou her well-shaped hands ,
When she turned her full face to mo ,
I was struck with itH awoet compo
sure , and the perfect arches formed ,
by her dark oyobrowH , Her bister
had no eyebrows worth mentioning.
She thanked mo in a few appropriate
words for my kind 'jllicos , and I with
drew.
But not to rent. Mildred , like
Macbeth , had murdered sloop , and I
tossed vainly on my pillow. What
was It about the girl that attracted
mo ? I asked myself. She had uttered
but a few words , yet there was a soft ,
confiding look In her gray eyes , a sym
pathetic motion of her hands , which ,
without being conspicuous , were inex
pressibly tender. That girl an actress !
I thought , by Jove , she ought to be
the wife of an arohbUhop ,
In the morning I left a short note ,
telling her of the promise I had made
her sister of attending her home from
the theatre. Then I strolled down to
King's Beach walk , and began draw
ing a "declaration in tort , but even
with Ballon and Leak's assistance , 1
hesitated and blundered , It was no
good , I could not work , BO I loft the
chambers , and found myself walking
towards Gnildford street. Just aa I
reached my door she canto out ,
Heavens ! How my heart leaped !
She was going for a short walk ,
She did not know where ; aho had only
been in London once before , BO she
accepted my guidance and wo strolled
away.
I shall never forget that afternoon
aa long aa I live , Mildred Baid little ,
and my conversation was common
place in the extreme , With Minnie I
could rattle on and pay compliments ,
and laugh and feel not c whit embar
rassed. But with Mildred )
I saw her homo from the theater
that night , but did not sit In the otnlla
to BOO her play her sitter's part. I
hated the notion that so gentle a creo
ture ihonld bo compelled to oxhib t
herself on the stage , and I know J
ihould have writhed In agony at t'
