Rails Farewell Concert. The doors were open at

so,,s in that large house were taken The novelty
ftbe evening was duet between the violin and
tho voice. Miss Northall sang her part with sweet
and spirit vet the tones ofthe violin were SO ex

times we have heard it, on finding those who had
LEI the Niagara pass with cold silence boisterously
epcoriug the "buttermik" and familiar grunt'' of
"Norah MacShare" we were forcibly reminded Of
the pathetic lines in the Rejected Addresses: :"

The connection Of thought is subtle, rather than

The Carnival of Venice" being warmly received,
as it always is for its light grace and the tricks by
which the power of the violin is shown attract every
one, Ole Bull returned in compliance with the loud
call of the audience, and played several popular airs
with bis usual delicacy and grace to express which

office OF Christian Hero, such as Is described by
Wordsworth in his Happy Warrior. We are

lofty yet temperate feeling of this March, and hope
that our people may yet time their steps 10 1t on the
way TO action worthy the just the DISTINGUISHED, the
holy patriotism of their first great commander
We doubt not that the two years residence Of
this Artist among us has conferred important bene-
fits We need unspeakably the beautiful arts 10
animate, expand, and elevate our life which rushes
dangerously toward coarse utilitariauism; we
need them TO exhibit the religion of universal love,
the harmony in the designs of the Creative Spirit
which the GOODNESS of dogmatic theology hides from
the heart of the votary. This is their Office not to
psmper the pride of wealth part of refined lux
ury, but to educate the heart aud mind OF all men by
inspiring the purer and genter emotions, by suost-
tuting sense Of spiritual beauty in place OF the lust
ofthe eye and the pride of life. Ole Bull has been in
hiswny missionary here, he has sympathlzed with
our destiny, and his own genius has received an I'M
pulse from the scene in which 1t is growing up. His
youthful large, and tender nature, seconded by his
great talent and winning manners has appealed di-
recty 10 the heart of the people, and as opened
to receive him, seeds have been strown there which
viii bloom sweetly yet. If he has sometimes been

These good wishes are all we offer in return but
