She is a charming blondine; a'- though not so eveillée as poor Jenny Coln wa: but possesses a delicious little voice,and a mischie- vous little nose—very good qualities for a soubrette, but not for a prima donna.

This not only arises from the custom to look for every thing towards Paris, owing to the eyetem of centralization, which 18 in France carried to the utmost, but from the fact, that in no city in the world the opera is so powerfully represented asin Gamlllar Letters on Music in America—The Opera in Murope-france.—No. Iv. __ If the*Opera is not quite so popular in France as in Italy—that isnot quite so much a necessity to the people at large—it is on the other side, if not much purer and legitimate, at least in a more elevated position than in the land of song par ex- cellence. Complete legitimacy will be looked fur ia vain in France, whether in the reigning dynasty, literature, plastic arts or anything else ; legitemacy shape being ata discount since the Joly Revolution. Here the Opera is more independant— itis not a courtezan, like in Italy, at the mercy of acouple of singers, who are permitted to be the f its fate—although it has on that account 0 to attone for—but a good orchestra, efficient chorusses, appropri arrangements, and above all, an interesting /ibret- to, are more or less required, according to the character of the music and the theatre for which it is composed.

Business was clos’d, and Wall-strect shut up, All my arrangements sadly cut up ; Each man fixed to dine and tea With some kind friend or tamily— But who has here compassion fer A miserable bachelor ! To church I went, and heard some sonnets, Saw lovely faces, shawls and bonnets ; And while in admiration lost, Sigh’d, und then thought upen the cost ; Own’'d that, altho’ *twas good for trade, ‘Thereby some bachelors were made, And, even in this canara Jand, Prudence and Jove go hand in hand ; But [ must also add my fears, > Lis with folks over twenty years. ‘The pious, meek, aud learned divine, ‘Told us we were epj ined to dine— “Eat of the fat and drink the win Our duty ’twas, he said, more o’e: ‘To think upon the starving poor— Concluded nis discourse—said grace—_. But not one word about my case ; Nor hinted that a jooely sinner, Like me, might be in want of dinner ; ‘Aud that, on days when laws are pass’d ‘To make folks eat, or pray, or fast, It is a Christian charity ‘To ask a stranger home to tea.

Then to my room, and had a sad time, From six until the hour of bed-time ; And, as [ sat with feet on fender, I found me getting somewhat tender ; And thought flew ba k to other times, ‘So triends away in distant climes ; I thought of love, too, and the time When youth and hope were in their prime ; ‘The heart was warm, the feeling strong, And her who tun’d that heart to song, * Look’ love in eyes that look’d sgain”— Tun’d my guitar, and sang this strain : ‘There is an hour, which comes to all— red oft, iy te it Rd to ea en sive thou; ol se the o ‘Ania open the door of memory,” Then scenes which dwell upon the heart, Return with freshness to th And friends with whom ‘wi Claim the fond tribute of a sigh.
