There are few perhaps of your rea

this cif. a number of oflicers in which
lone.. edicts, and fair dames in a

"con.side-ration.," have themselves
duly provided with partners for life;
but few perhaps will believe that peo
ple of respectable positions in society,
and even of rank, have recourse to
these matrimonial agencies. Esuch,
however, is the fact, and you will see
it proved by the report of a case in
the newspapers, in which M. Foy, the

sir," says Fey, "you have just called

Criticism on Jenny Linds Singing.
The following discriminating criti
cism was written for the New York
Day Book before the arrival of the
Swedish Nightingale in this country.
It is neatly pressed, not overstrained,
yet not deficient in enthusiasm, and
is evidently from tho ien of one well
versed in the science of music, and
who can write understandingly upon
the relative merits of the great vocal
iets of the age.
The result has verified this criti
cism, judging by the best of those we
have read upon concerts already giv
en. They coincide with the 'views
here expressed as to the quality of
voice, its tone, compass and capaci
ties, of the great Queen of Song.
In the first place, thon, Jenny
Lind possesses the most remarkable
throat (I speak of its inside lining
only) ever created. There is scarce
ly any limit to her capacity for pro
ducing smooth and pleasant sounds,
soft and silvery as the breathing of a
flute, and uttered in defiance of all
difficulties of interval or stretch of
compass, with an ease and facility al
most incredible.' The thrilling of a
lark or canary, the mellowness of the
nightingale, the volubility of your
own mockingbirk, are all surpassed
a o:musigal, t rae ceog" ei
cng, , ertam kmdn +arch'
)) he y and 'otpebred jtio 'are hrs
rn-an eminent dgree. As to what
is understood by vocal execution, in
the mere mechanical sense of the
phrase, Jenny Lind has never been
surpassed in the history of inorlern
music, and 'was equalled only by
Persianti. Her compass is immen
ser, running up with ease to F in alt
and her organ is of remarkable even
ness and equality through all its reg.
isters. Add to this that, generally
speaking, her intonation is faultless.
and that her style of singing and em
bellishing betrays always good taste
in the detail, though the general ef
fect is often marred by over fl'riditv,
and you have the means of forming
an impartial judgment of what Jenny
Lind is.
What she is not, is soon said. She
is not a vocalist of the modern Italian
school; and neither her method, style
nor voice at all answers the requrisi
tions of that school-that schroo of
which G iulia G risi is tihe acknowledge
head andh inte-rpreter,andwhose na's
ters arnd pupils alone of all the eart h
havec carried vocal music to thre point
giving expression to high art. Of
this schrool , thre academies of Rlo~g
na and other cities of I taly, thle stage
of the San C'arlos at Naples and La
Scala of Mlilan , anrd thle boards oft the
Conservatory and the Italianr Opera
in IPariis, are the only recogniz'ed
cradhles arid homes. It is truen that
this style of music is heard ini great
perfection at her Marjesty's theatre
in London-its bri gh test ornanment s
being lured there by the bibe of imn
muenise salaries; burt then thre audience
is wvantinrg. T.o nine te-nth of these
who crowd the Italian O.pera in Lon
don, ar selection of Scotch hal lads,
In ishi love songs and English glees,
would lie a great dleal more sartisfac
tory than the sulimest st rains of the
eloquence of melody, thre passionr of
song, the inrspirationr of. umnsical ex.
pression, wich constitute the true
Italian O.)era.
Thre voice M'lle Lind is sweet arnd
pret ty, as I have said; but it is entire
ly fr-om her throat. That which is
known among the Italians as the
voced petto, tire vonice del cantar-e.
and which Ihas been developed anid
perfected nowhere else but iun
theo italian school, is riot possssed
by Jenny Lird. In common with
all vocalists in Vienna, .Uerlin, and
Gernraany, hr voice is wholly from
thre throat or head-and consequent
ly larck-s that veberating, palpitating
qjuality that makes the hearer's heart
paint as if he were listening to a D~e
mosthenean hust of eloquene. It
was this that caused Garcia, in 1842,
to discourage the aspiration of the
ambitious Swedish girl; and it was
this that has forever prevented her
from appearing inParis or at the San
Curios in Naples or La Socala in Mi
lan. This was profoundly wise. Won
dcrful as are her gifts of voice and fa.
cilities of execution, at either of these
places a would have failed.
Tbus, then, we can readily settle
the true position of Mdlle Lind in
New York- Those who know noth
ing of music particularly and who
love to be astonished, will be delight
ed with her graceful and winning
manners, and with the musical pyro
technics the lets off from her throat;
but those who really and truly under
stand and appreciate the highest form
of vocal music, will be disappointed
and disenchanted.
Think what you like of this and do
what you like with it. But I tell you
it is true.

The Village Lawyer.
M. Pierre Lavalles, owner of a vine.
yard. near a certain village in the south
of France, woed and wedded Mdlle.
Julie Goucehardt. Ile lived in a pretty
house, and when he took his young wife
home, he showed her great stores of ex.
cellent things, calculated well for the
comfortable subsistc of a youthful
anl wgrthy couple.
It was seven months after the marriage
of M. Pierre Lavalles, M. that Antoine
Perron, the Vil age Lawyer, sat in his
little parlour, and gazed with a glad eve
upon the cheertui firse, for the short win
ier was just terminating. Leaning for.
ward in his chair, he abaded his face
with his hands, and steadily perused the
figures ahnting the coals with a most
pIlelaant conmteance. The ro(om was
small, neat, and coml)iformble, fur the no
tary prospered in his lnmble way, and
seeking only coinfort, fotiid it, and was
Conteit.
Suddenly a violent Ingeking at the
door aroused him frorfhiis teverie, and
his old servant ruih d: to open it.
In a mniome'nt, two persup were ushered
into the roo,,, and thzie tary leaped to

'And the whole afFair, including cor.

&c.. will be settled in less than three

"Three months?'
Three months.' Yes, jn less than

'Then I will live with a friend at the
village,, until it is finished,' said Mad
ame Lavalles, in a decided, peremptory
tone, usual with ladies when they are a
little ashamed of themselves-or any
one else.
'Oh, very well, Madame-oh, very
well.'
-'Nnt at all well, Madame; not at all
well, Monsieur,' said the notary; with a
solid, immovable voice. 'You must
live as usual. If you doubt my know
ledge of the law, you will, by reading
through these seven books, find that this
fact is specified.'
But the irritated couple were not dis
posed to undertake the somniferous
tusk, and shortly left the house, as they
had come, walking tih same way, but
at n distance of a yard or so one from
another.
Two months and twenty-seven days
had passed, when the notary issued from
his house, and proceeded toward the
house where Monsieur and Madame
Lavealles dwelt.
A demoiselle teuhered him into a little
parlour, where Monsieur and Madame
Lavalles had just sat down to4breakfast.
The husband and wife sat side hy
side, with pleasant looks. and- so en

ray anything as to the peculiar fitness and

refer to his professional bremmiea ...,,,

Over-Cropping.
This is the leading vice of Agriculture
in this portio1 of the Southern States.
The small and neat farm-that is, the farm
small enough in all its arrangements for
the nmanageinent of the force which ci:li..
vales it-is the "angel's visit" of Southern
husbandry. One nieets with but few such
farmsn, and meets with them far apart.
Instead of arms where every thing appears
in cimplete order and arrangement, one
often imseets with those widely-spriead tumn.
ble.downs, where disorder and der muge
mient are tumbled tege:her in every v:ar ety
of condition; and th:s arises principally
from over-croppng. The max tim of ntri.
culture. that the productions of the earth
must ever be in proportion to the itiage,
mems generally to be neglected, or not

It is now more than thirty years a
a spirit of hostility to the institutions
and power of the South has been openly
nanif.st-d amongst the Northern pe.
ple. A t first, no larger than a man's
hand, it has contiutied to spread- and
widen, until now the whole horiz # i.
overenst. Under its influence the
holiest ties have been severed,-it has
entered the temples of the most high,
and attempted in the~ holy name of re
ligion to pepetrate the most revolting
Irnuids. With its increase of power anti
imfluence,--with its growth in wealth
ind numbers, it has displayed new zeal
in wrong doing, until now it threatens
to destov our libirty, and toverthrov
the very bnsis of society -itself. The
Contittiion of the United Sfotes hich

be, n5? we have said before, the Legisla

to determine. And if the State will not

adequate to reform the government,Tire

For our own part we believe the is. *
