THE STORY OF A GENIUS
_From the German of Ossip Schubin._
_The International_ in a recent issue had this to say concerning thistalented authoress: "'Ossip Schubin' is the pseudonym of AloysiaKirschmer, an Austrian authoress of growing popularity. She was born inPrague, in June, 1854, and her early youth was spent on a country estateof her parents. Since her eighteenth year she has travelled extensively,spending her winters in some one of the large cities. Rome, Paris orBrussels, and her work shows the keen observation and cool judgment of acosmopolitan writer. She is well liked in England." The story underconsideration is infinitely sad, beautiful, exalting. At one moment youare rejoicing at the idyllic happiness of the lover, the bright promiseof a glorious future. Then the scene changes, and your heart is bleedingwith unutterable anguish at the mute grief that follows the irreparableloss of his love, which carries in its train lost ambition, talent,manhood. Just let us quote one passage: "There is a suffering so painfulthat no hand is tender enough to touch it, and so deep that no heart isbrave enough to fathom it. Dumbly we sink the head, as before somethingsacred. Never could he reproach her lying there before him, clad in theblue dress, of which every fold, so dear to him, cried 'forgive!' Not toour desecrated love do I appeal, but to our sweet caressingfriendship,--forgive the sister what the bride has done!' How could hereproach her, with her parting kiss still on his lips?"
