AI3I"S CELEBRATED SONG, "EVER, TRINE," by
Franz Abt. London : R. Cocks and Co., New Bur-
lington-street. 3.i. Do. for piano, 3s. each ; free by post
for 19 stamps each.—A cruel reviewer once recommended
an author to "think more and write less.," We cannot
tender the same advice to the author of 66Ever Thine ;"
on the contrary, such songs make one wish the gifted corn-
poser wrote and published more. "Ever Thine" is a fitting
companion to "0 !
_ye tears," which it resembles in its
plaintive and somewhat operatic style. It is one of thoso
delicious melodies which, when heard, excites a desire to
hear it again. As we before remarked, when noticing ono
of his ballads, Franz Abt succeeds most where other writers
frequently fail, viz., in the accompaniments. In the song
before us he sustains his reputation a a skilful student and
able exponent of the art of writing accompaniments, which
in truth is not a very common accomplishment. The range
is easy, and the song alike suited to a mezzo soprano or
tenor voice. We can ponfidently recommend it.—Vide

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex' ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
sensi-
tive beense obtained,trevera
l.stem yof dentistry perfect in its absolute enabling us to offer even the most
freeiom from pain. a specialite pertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth f'rom 55. Sets from sto 25 gs.,
warranted.

His Honness and the Emperor.

The following article we find,,iTn
The

,aSt-aieturandaav 11
number of The Cosmopolitan :_ nd
the Tuileries are once more on terms of cordial
good-will. The Holy Father has, at length, fully 1.
and gracefully acknowledged the many claims of
the present ruler of France to be held, as were his
predecessors on the throne, the eldest MI of the
Church. Perhaps the recognition is rather tardy.
It is, however, a full and gracious recognition,
couched in terms that do no less honour to the Holy
Father's own kindly nature than to the illustrious
object of his gratitude. Our readers are aware that
on a recent occasion an address, signed by a large
number of French Catholics, was presented to his
Holiness by the Duke de Rohan. It was in reply
to this address that the Sovereign Pontiff spoke of
the services of France to the Papacy. I have not
forgotten,' says his Holiness, what the French
Catholics have done for the Holy See. I shall never
forget that in 1848 it was an Ambqs-sador of France
who aided me in my departure for Gaeta, and that
it was a French General who in 1849 brought to me
the keys of Rome. The proofs of sympathy which
have been extended to me by the Emperor's Govern-
ment will never be erased from my memory.' It
would be strange, indeed, if he could forget the
powerful and unequivocal support given to his
throne by France since 1848. No individual ruler
nor people could afford to ignore such devotion, or
abstain from acknowledging it sooner or later in
becoming terms of gratitude. And we have always
felt sure that Pio None, judging from his well-
known noble and generous impulses, would one day
make the public, emphatic, and unstinted acknow-
ledgment that he has. At the present juncture
this declaration is more significant than it could
possibly be if made at an earlier day. The Papacy,
it is the general belief, is in imminent danger.
Internal foes, foreign emissaries for the most part
chiefs and tools of an anarchical directory, are
maturing their revolutionary plots within the
walls of the Eternal City itself, while a powerful
and rapacious State, that has waxed strong by
preying upon and swallowing up its neighbours,
and exists only to do the bidding of the revolution,
solemnly decrees the overthrow of the Temporal
Power ! United Italy ! the heterogeneous popula-
tion of Piedmontese, Sardinians, Neapolitans,
Sicilians, Florentines, &c., &c., fancying themselves
the lineal heirs of the Roman Empire, must have
Rome for their capital. At such a time it is just
and natural the Vatican should recall the last
eighteen years, and, generously proclaiming its
gratitude to chivalrous and Catholic France, look
with unabated trust to the same powerful and never-
failing ally for succour and defence in the apparently
impending crisis. His past services to the Papacy,
no less than his recent emphatic declarations touch-
ing the Temporal Power, entitle the Emperor to the
Holy Father's unreserved confidence ; and it is
because, if the storm of revolution does break over
the Eternal City, the Emperor of the French is the
only Catholic Sovereign likely to be both able and
willing to come to the rescue of the Papal throne,
that we especially rejoice at the entente cordiale be-
tween the Vatican and the Tuileries. The present
Pope, all admit, is a Sovereign naturally of liberal
tendencies. He.proved his active sympathy with
' progress' and liberalism,' to his cost, in 1848.
But neither the disasters of that period, nor the re-
verses which have since overtaken the Papacy, have
changed his liberal convictions, nor cooled his sym-
pathy with whatever is wise and expedient in the
liberalism of the day. Within the present week we
have his Holiness's own unequivocal declaration on
this question. In reply to an address from Belgium,
which, among other matters, deplored that the re-
volution should have interrupted reforms inaugurated
by.the Holy See in 1848,' the Pope declarelthat

first years of his reign had been the happiest, aTir
he was persuaded that peace would facilitate the
accomplishment of his ideas.' I'lle peace necessary
to ' facilitate the accomplishment of his ideas' will
be secured to him by France, under whose mgis he
can carry out his liberal reforms, without again
having his concessions turned against him to his
destruction, as in 1848. But the Holy Father
assures the world that he looks for succour to a
higher Power than Kings and Emperors, and none
can doubt it who regards his sublime fortitude in
the face of his threatened overthrow and the extinc-
tion of his throne. The majestic calm of his bearing
in this crisis extorts the admiration of all who come
into his presence; and, should he fall, we may be
sure that even those who compassed his overthrow
will say that, many and great as were his virtues,
exalting even his exalted position, no act of his
long, distinguished, and troubled Pontificate be-
came him like the leaving it.' Rome, the Eternal
City, may dwindle from being the capital of an in-
choate kingdom of jarring and repellent provinces.
Whether or no this be its destiny, no one of the long
line of his predecessors on the Papal throne will be
held in more universal reverence than Pius the
Ninth."
