Spirit Of the Age, but she never SUI purses" - '~
is the Office of the great thinker.
Al Vienna Consaelois brought fully into connec'
,ion with the great world as an Artist She 1nds
thu, i,s realities so far from being less, arc even
more harsh and sordid for the Artist than for any
other and that with avarice, envy and alsehood she
mus, prepare for the fearful combai which awaits
noble souls in any kind OF arena, with the pain OF
DISCUS, when they cannot raise themselves TO pa
tience, with the almost equal pain, when they can
Of pity for those who know not what they do
Albert is on the verge Of the grave, and Consuelo
who not being able to feel for him sufficient love to
find In il compensation for loss Of that artist lie to
which she feels Nature had destined her, had hith-
rto resisted the cntreates of his aged father and the
pleadings of her own revcrcntal and tender syrnpa-

Just before he dies.
The sequel therefore of this history is given under
the title of COUNTESS OF RUDoLsTADT' Consu-
elo il still on the stage she is at the Pr1ssian Court
The well known features OF this society given in
the memoirs Of the time, put together with much
grace and wit The sketch of + rcdcrc is excellent
The rest of the book is devoted TO expression Of
the authors IDEAS on the subjec, Of reform and es
pecally Of Association a means thereto. AS her
thoughts are as yet in a very crude state the execu
ton of this part is equally bungling and clumsy
Worse she falsies the characters both OF Consueio
and Albert who il revived again by subterage OF

mixture of falsehood and intrigue
Yet she proceeds toward, if she walk not by the
light Of great Idea and sincere democracy, unlver-
sal religion scatter from afar many seeds upon the
mare for future time The book should be and will
be- universally read. Those especially who have
witnessed all Sands doubts and sorrows on the sub
ect of marriage will rejoice in the clearer purer ray
which dawns upon her now. The most natural and
deep part Of the book though not her main object, IS
what relates to the struggle between the claims OF
Art and Life, as to whether il be better for the world
aud oneself to develop to perfection talent which
Heaven seemed TO have assigned as special gilt
and vocation or sacrifice il whenever the character
seems TO require this for its general development
The character of Consuclo is throughout the first
part, strong delicate, simple, bold and pure. The
fair lines of this picture are good deal broken in the
second part, but we must remain true TO the impress
sion originally made upon US by this charming and
noble creature Of the soul OF Sand
1t is in reference to our Consuelo that cores
pondeni writes as to Jenny Lind and We are re-
oiced TO fad that many hints were or might have
been furnished for the picture from real life If Jenny
Lind did not suggest it, yet she must also be, III her
own sphere a Consueo.
Jenny Lind must have been born about -22 or

purity and suavity of her voice hc inquired
instantly for her family, and found her father,
a poor inn keeper, willing and glad 10 give up
his daughter TO his care on the promise to protect
her and give her an excellent musical education.
He was always very careful Of her never permitting
her 10 sing except in his presence and never letting
her appear on the stage unless as mute figure m
some ballet, such for instance as Cupid aud the
Cruces till she was sixteen when she al once cx-
ccnted her part in Der Freyschutz to the full sat
isfaction and surprise of the public of Stockholm
From that time she gradually became the favCrite
of every one Without beauty, she seems from her
innocent and gracious manners, beautiful on the
stage and charming in society. she Is one OF the
few actresses that no evil tongue can ever iDjure
and is respected and welcome in any and all so
cietics.
THE circumstances that reminded me of Consu-
clio were these, that she was poor child taken up
by this singing master and educated thoroughly and
severely by him that she loved his son, who was
good for nothing fellow, like AnZoleto and, al last
discarded him. that she refused the OF an English
Earl and when he fell sick his father condescended
10 enireat for him Just The Count OF hudostadt did
for his son. That. though plain and low IN stature,
when singing her best parts she appears beautiful
and awakens enthusiastic admiration That she IL

her by the Crown Prince Oscar in a manner that

the stage she was greeted with more enthusiastic
plaudils than ever. and thicker showers of flowers
fell upon her from the hands of her true friends the
Public. She was more fortunate than Consueo In
not being compelled TO sing TO public of Prusslan
Corporals."
Indeed the picture of Frederic's Opera audience
with the pit full of his tall grenadiers with their
wives on their shoulders never daring TO applaud ex
ccpt when he gave the order, as IL by tap OF drum
opposed to the tender and expansive nature of
the Artist, is Of the bcs, tragi comedies exiant
In Russia too, all is military as soon as new plu
stefan arrives he is invested with rank in the army
even in the church Nicholas has lately done the
same ii seems as if he could not believe a man TO
be alive unless in the army-could no, believe the
human heart could beat, unless by beat OF drum
But We believe in Russia there is a, least mask of
gaie,y thrown over the chilling truth. The great
Frederic wished no disguise every where he was
chief Corporal and trampled with his everlasting
boots the fair flowers OF Poesy into the dust
The North has been generous TO of late. She
