Vanity's Iteerutts for the Stage. Loudon Era. There can be no doubt that vanity sheer, shallow vanity is at the bottom of this rage for the stage, which a comio contemporary has aptly designated "The Fashionable Craze. Young men and women of the upper classes do not rush in equal number, or with equal eager ness to adopt the profession of the painter, the sculptor, and the poet. And why? Because those professions at their commencement demand patient, indefat igable drudgery in private, only sup ported by tho real enthusiasm for the work which sustains the genuine artist under so many disappointments. Even supposing them to be successful, where are they to be employed? Will not all the Loudon theatres, and all the touring companies combined, be too small to furnish engagements for the army of as pirants which is now in course of being recruited. Schools of drnmatio art, private acade mies and a host of agents aro encourag ing a vast number of young pcoplo to prepare themselves for a profession which is already over-stocked, and which practically unfits them, Bhould they prove unsuccessful in it, for adopt ing any other. Already there are signs that the theatrical business, both in Lon don and the provinces, has been a trille overdono of late. Is there not some danger of the supply of neophytes ex ceeding the demand Will not the re sults be a rarity of engagements for tho ordinary artist, long periods of idleness, and a host of applications for assistance to the actors' benevolent fund? Certainly those who are casting all these young men and women on the boards ought to be very liberal in their support of that institution, and should pay their poor-rates with exemplary regularity. It is rather unfair that the contributions of artists and managers should go to the assistance of a mob of genteel new comers who have rushed to dependence oh the workhouse, because it is the fashion.' The asylum for the insane is further from the plow than it is from the rich man's gold, or the honored man s fame. WANTED A WIFE. J. Randall in Time. Jack Ilornby, of Brasenftoe college, Ox ford, had just finished Ida usual after-break fast pipe, on tha last day of the summer term, 1860, when his attention waa arrested by a sharp rap at his door, Immediately followed by the entrance of the well-dressed person ot his college friend, Methven. "Come along in," said Hornby, "and light yourself a pipe." "No, thank ye, can't stop," replied Meth ven, "as I have a lot to do this morning; but I thought I would run across and tell you a bit of news. I have just arranged a glorious boax, at the expense, I need hardly say, of old Crofton: be has become too cute lately to be caught by our old time-honored jokes, and so I have arranged the following plan: A week ago I inserted lu the agony ooluruo of The Morning Advertiser a glowing matrimonial advertisement, in which I stated that the ad vertiser, who waa handsome, rich, and all that sort of thing, desired to meet with a pretty and accomplished girl with a view to matrimony. All applicants were to send their photographs; the replies to be sent to IL C, No. 151 St. Odes', Oxford that's the house where my scout lives, and so, of course, I told him to bring me any letters thus addressed. I got no reply for a day or so, but four days ago I received a letter from a certain damsel, who described herself as young, handsome and accomplished, Inclosed me the photo graph of a very pretty girl, ended by a-' king me when and where I should meet hor in town, and signed herself Miss L. Bernard, Ficcadily Circus Poatolllee; she also expressed a desire to have tho advertiser's photograph, so I promptly sent ber that of old Crofton, which he had lately given me. and said I would write to-night when and where I should meet her; so my scheme Is, to some how induce Crofton to meet this girl; she will of course recognize him by the photograph I have sent, and will probably rush into his arms, the kangaroo will be utterly over powered, and there will be an interesting denouement Now, Hornby, don't you think that a magnificent piece of strategy!" "No, indeed I don't," said Hornby, "I think it an infernal shame; and, what's more, I have half a mind to go and tell the kangaroo of the hoax." j "Oh, route now, "said Methven, "you'd never do that, Jack, I know. Weill I can't stay any longer, so good-bye for the present." There is not the slightest doubt, that if the fates had not intervened, Hornby would have gone straight to Crofton and warned hiin of the impending hoax, and this story would never have been written; but, as it happened, no sooner had Mothven gone out of Hornby's rooms, than iu rut-hud the secretary of the College Cricket club iu a state of breathless anxiety; there was a match at 11:37, and it was now 11 o'clock and he could only get to gether eight men. So Hornby was promptly enlisted, and by the time the match was over, Methven aud his scheme hail entirely faded from his not too retentive memory. Mothven, in the meantime, had gone straight to Crof ton's rooms. Now, this Crofton, who was about to fall a victim to Methven's wiles, was the son of a large Australian sheep farmer, and had come up to Brazenface the previous October. Like most colonists who have not been to school in England, be was very simple and unsophisticated; and though the kangaroo, as be was generally called, was constantly being made the victim of small practical jokes, most of which were originated by Methven, who was the profesioiml hoaxer of Brazenface, be al ways forgave them heartily, and joined in the laugh Himself. However, his one year's residence in college bad opened his eyes a lit tie, and being nuturally anything but a fool, his friends found it not quite so easy to take bun in now, as it used to be, and several at tempts having lately faile l, Methven, to sus tain bis dwindling reputation as a joker, had concocted the plan he had just disclosed to Hornby. He found the genial giant busily pocking bio trups ready for going down the next day. After ciiatt ing a moment or two the tempter began: "As you're going to town to-morrow, I want you to do me a little favor. I promised to meet a girl, a cousin of mine, to-morrow. We had each got au order for the bourn ot commons, and I was to have es corted her, and as we meant to have a little lunch together at Lucas' before we went in, we bad arranged to meet at a quarter-past id at the Westminster bridge landing pier, that being a place where we couldn't possibly miss one another. flow, as bad luck will have it. tne dean nas sent (or me to see him after col lections, so that I can't get up to town In time. Unfortunately, I can't let the girl know, because she's away on a visit for a day or two to some friends whose address I have forgotten, and she won't return home till after she's been to the house. Now, I don't want the poor child to wait an hour for me. so would you mimt going there about a quar ter past 2 and telling her I can't come, be cause of that beastly dean? And so that you can't mistake ber, I've brought you ber pho tograph. By tho by, her name's Miss Bernard. Now, will this be too much trouble for you?" Oh, not a bit," said Crofton, "I shall be ieligbted." Well, remember, Westminister landing pier, at a quarter postal And now, good-bye, and a pleasant 'long' to you. Methven, highly elated with the result of his scheme, immediately wrote a note to Miss L. Bernard that H. C would meet her at the Westminister bridge pier, at a quar ter past 3 punctually, ami that she must come up and speak to him if she saw him Qrst The next morning Crofton, having under gone that dread ordeal called "collections," having been bullied alternately by the principal, the dean and the senior tutor, hurried eff to the station and just managed to catch the midday express up to town. On his arrival, laaving bis traps at a hotel, be rushed off to Westminister bridge landing pier ana arrived there within a minute or two of the appointed time. There was but few people on it when he arrived, and certainly no one resembling in the slightest degree the photograph of Mr. Methven's cousin, lie looked up and down, but no- there was only one youne lady there, and shewafn'ttn the least like the photograph. She was standing close to the ticket offlje, holding the band of a little boy of 10 or so and she seemed to watch Crofton with an amused smile as be impatiently walked up and down, looking now at bis watch and now at the parliament clock tower. The little boy, in the meantime, getting tired ot wait ing, bad slipped away under the protecting chains round the side and began playing with a bttle dog that was vaguely running about. The young lady did not miss him, and when Crofton happened to turn be saw the child, hi trying to avoid a sadden bounl of the dog, scramble and fall over the pier into the river. The child yelled, the girl shriekel and the dog barked for sympathy, but Crofton, who iortunatf'y bad plenty of pres?nco of mind, and was a good, strong swimmer, dived quietly iuto tha water, caagbt op the ciiild in a couple of strokes, and In a very short time bad restored bis dripping burden to tha young lady. 8b was of coarse most grateful to dim for having savd tha life of ber little brother (for to the child tamed out to tj and, at Crofton pat them in a cab, she asked him to cal on than, at bomaaad giva ber pa reuts an opportunity of personally thanking him. Crotlon at fli-st pooh-poohed the idea of bains thus made a hero of, but there was a pleading look In ber pretty eyes which quite overcame bis scruples; and having as certained that her father was a Ml. West, and lived at 1 KJ Cavendish square, he prom ised to call there the following afternoon, And, as there was still no sign of Mis" Ber nard, and as be was dripping wet, ho bailed a passing cab and returned to his hotel. The next day, acoordiug to bis promise, be called at 135 Cavendish square, and was re ceived moat kindly by Miss West, bis ac quaintance of yesterday, and ber mother, an ol I lady, who thanked him most volubly for having saved dear Bertie's life, who, sh added, was none the worse for the ducking, and was at that moment in bed, with a mus tard plaster on his breast and a basin of gruel by bis side (probably thinking tUe drowning would bave been infinitely preferable to the doctoring.) Of course, Crofton waa Invited to stay to dinner, so as to meet Mr. West, who did not return from business till after 6. About that time be arrived, and a fine cheery, fellow be was, and right heartily did be welcome bis new acquaintance. After dinner, as be and Harry were discussing a bottle of '31 port, Mr. West found out from the simple-hearted fellow that he was a native of Australia, and that, though, he was happy enough durin term-time with bis college chums, he found it very dull during the vacation, having but few relations and friends in the old country; and so Mr. West, liking the honest, manly bid, and feeling, of course, intensely grate ful to him for having saved his child from drowning, iuvitod him to spend a month with bim at bis shooting lodge m Scotland. Crofton, being passionately, de voted to sport, snapped at the oiler; and so it was arranged that he should go up to Mr, West's shooting lodge, iu Cromarty, on the 11th ot August. To this day he swears that the month he speut at Balbriggan lodge was the happiest time of bis life good sport, nice men iu the bouje, and, ah I far best of all the society of Lilian West. At first it struck him that sho looked upon him for some reason or other as rather a puppy, which considerably surprised him, for what ever bis faults might be, conceit was cer tainly not one of them. But as time went on, and she bad plenty of opportunity of see ing what a modest, sterling fellow be was (besides being the best shot ot the party), the feeling seemed to pass away, and soon gave place to a sincere regard, bun day afternoon rambles through the heather, cosy chats in the gloaming after dinner, lessons in the mysteries of "go- bang" and chess, bave brought together lees susceptible hearts than those of Harry Crof ton and Lilian West, and the day before be was returning to England be plucked up courage, proposed, and to bis delight was accepted. The next morning, however, just before starting borne Lilian came up to him and sal I: "Harry dear, before you go I want you to forgive ma for the silly joke I played you about that advertisement" "Advertisement!" sold be, "what advertise ment!" "Wby, the one, of course, you put in The Morning Advertiser." Crofton looked very mystified, and again shook bis bead. "Oh, come now, Horry" replied Lilian, "it is not a bit of use your trying to deceive me; do you mean to say you didu't put the advertisement in The Morning Advertiser" and so sayiug, she drew from her card-case a small newspaper cutting and banded it to Crofton. It ran as follows. Wanted a Wife The advertiser, who Is strikingly handsome, very accomplished, and extremely rich, wishes to meet with a young lady witn a view to matrimony, nhj must be good-look ing, amiable and accomplished. Applicants mnst forward their photograph and address. IL C., 161 St. Giles', Oxford. "Never saw it before in my lifo," said Croft sn. "And you never wrote thisf continued Miss West, handing the last letter from IL C. to Miss L. Bernard, appointing the place and time of meeting. "Must certainly not; it's not a bit like my handwriting. Couldn't write so wall if I tried for a month." "Well, Harry, you must at least own that Uiis Is your photograph." "Good gracious, yes I" replied Crofton; "that's miii9, sure enough; but who on earth could have sent it, and why to you ot all people I" "Oh," said Lilian, "I'm afraid you will think me very silly, but when I read that advertisement, I longed, I simply yearned for I'm very curious, Harry, as you'll soon find out to see in the flush the human be ing who could be so consummately con ceited as to frame an advertisement like that; and so I replied to it, directing my letter from the postoffloo at Piccadilly Circus and signing myself by a fictitious name. I also sent the photograph of a pretty little maid I once bad, and next day received the photograph and letter you bave just seen. Ho with Bortie as my companion, feeling sure that the advertiser couldn't possibly mistake me for the original of barker's photograph, I went to the Westminster binding pisr at the appointed time. Imagine my delight, then, when I saw you, the original of the photo graph, stalking up and down the pier, appar ently awaiting the faithless damsel But, Horry dear, if you did not go to moot me, wby in the world did you go to the pier at that very timer" i "I went on a commission," said he, "for a college friend of mine, named Methven." "What! Mr. Methven, of Brazenface!" said she. "Why, yes; is he a friend of yours!" "Oh, I only met him when staying In the country last Christmas; and I think, Harry, be liked me better than I did bim." "Well," continued Crofton, "I went there to meet a cousin of bis and to give her a mes sage from bim, but I bave a shrewd idea this is one of his practical joxes be is always playing." , . , , "But, tell me, bow wera yon to know this young lady, Harry!" said Lilian. "He showed me a photograph by which I was to rccogniza ber.". . "Was it that of a pretty girl with a large bat and feather, and a fan in ber hand!" said Liliau with a smile. , "Tha very mine," said Crofton. ' - "Then, llarry, you are quite right; it was a practical joke, for that wa barker's photograph w hich I sent to the mysterious Mr. IL C. And, now, Harry dear, it's not a bit of ums in getting angry about it, for we wdi e both 'sold' a little, aud it lias en led very happily for you and tne; and so we wl.l rr.uke a pr mise not to chaff one anotLer in tho future for the parts we each played in the strange little 'Comedy of Errors,' " I need hardly say Crofton seabd the bar gain with a kiss. When Harry next returned to BrsEnface the October term bod begun. Port Meadow was flooded, the elms outside of 8t. John's were rapidly losing their leaves, and the creeper on U Mary's porch was in all the glory of Its autumn foliage. Crsiton arrived first day of term, just in time for "hall," and as be was finishing bis dinner, tha scout who waited on the third table ban led bim the following brief eoistle, scrawled on the back of the dinner bill: Dear KaftOiRoo Coma to my room di rectly after "hoU." Ywrs aver, . Hoajrrr. So after "ball," Crofton went straight to Hornby's rooms, and found bim uncorking a bottle of college port; aud over this buttle, soothed by the fragrant weed, Harry Crofton told Uoruly the story of bilove, the whole tale -how it bad, happened,, and what a very lucky dog be waa lie had j ut fluished his narrative, when a knock came at the door and in walked Methven, just ar rived. "How d'ye do,' Jack! Hillo, Kangaroo, bow are you old chap!" ha began. But, somehow, the look on Crofton's face Methven had never seen before, aud w hat's more, didu't like it However, he continued, "Well, did you meet my cousin, ebl Come, come, old chap, yon must really forgive me, it was a beastly shame, I own." "Now, look here," said Crofton, quietly and there was an ugly look in his eyes, and a firmness in his jaw that made Methven un consciously creep near the door "I don't want to have a row with any man, much less in Jack Hornby's rooms. But I tell you plainly, I tbiuk it was awfully low of you to take advantage of my good nature in the way you did I strongly advise you for the future, if you liko a whole skin not to try the game ou again. I may tell you, your scheme entirely failed, and it's entirely through your attempt at a hoax I bave be come engaged to tha uicost little girl iu Eng land." "Keally, said Methven with a sneer, "then I think the least you can do is to in troduce us, as she muy possibly like to make tbe acquaintance ot the uucouscions author of ber happiuens," "Perha) she might," replied Crofton, quietly, "if she hadn't unfortunately made it before. Good-night, Jack, aud so saying be left the room. "There, Methven," said Hornby, "I kuew quite well some row would come of this hoax of yours. "Well, tell me what happened, Jack, if you kuow." Thereupon Hornby told the whole story from beginning to eud; when be bad iliiisueJ, Methven said: "I wonder who the girl was, and wheu and where she met me," "Of course I cou't toll you the latter," said Hornby, as ho walked up to the chimney piece to refill his pipe, "but ber name, if I remember rightly, is Miss I.lliun West" Hornby heard a sharp groan, and ou look round saw Methvan as white as a sheet, with bis head buries! lu bis bauds. "Good (iod, man, what's upf cried Horuby. "Oh Jack," said Methven, "that's the very girl I loved myself. I met her last Christ mas in tne couutry, aud 1 would bave sold my very soul for berl Aud uow," he con tinued with a sob, "and now she's lost for ever." With these words he walked out leaving Hornby to pouder deeply on the strange Irony ot fate. Two years have rolled on. Lilian West Is now the wifo of Henry Crofton, B.

He goes to pailies, aud when the ladies have been supplied with supper be retires into a corner with the prettiest, produces bis valise, opens It, and drinks his milk out of the bottle while he makes violent love to her. In the course ot bis duty be has to interview many great personages.
