Touch US gently, Time:
Let US glide down thy stream
GentIy-as we sometimes glide
Through quiet dream!
Humble voyagers are we,
Husband, wife, and children three,
One is Iost-an angel fled
To the azure overhead!
Touch US gently, Time:
We've not proud MOI soaring wings
Our ambition, our content,
Lies in little things.
Humble voyagers are we
Ger lile's dim, unsounded sea,
Seeking only some calm cline
Touch us gently, gentle Time!

BENEFIT TO SIeNoRA EUPHRAsIA BoReHEsK,
On Tuesday evening next, Signora Borehese is to
have benefit at Palmo's Italian Opera House,
whose prosperity is SO largely indebted to her.
Better we can scarcely wish her than that her sue
cess on this evening may equal that obligation
She has been the soul and life, the day we'll as
night star Of the Opera this city, and now is the
time to let her know that the New York people
think of this, and think right too.
Semiramide is very properly chosen for this
nights performance-lis excellence is unques-
toned, and it affords full scope for the effort and
talent of Sienora Borghese. Various other at
fractions are to be added to the evenings perform
ance. Amongst the rest, we may mention that
Mons Gabriel de Korponay and one Of his pupils
will dance the Polka, and Madlle Desjardines will
appear in grand pas sesL. Thus it will be seen at
glance, that Tuesday night promises to be one of
the most memorable in the annals of the Italian
Opera IN this city.
