JENNY LIND.

/ We chanced, summer before last - be at on
of the German Baths, when Jenny Lind cam
lhither, from Frankfort on the Maine, TO give
concert. Her audience just about filled the easy
chairs Of the principle Hall Of the gambing-Pal
ace Of the place, and the concert was given Z
eleven in the forenoon of a temperate summer
morning. We stood under the portico, wher
the fair Swede ali GIFTED from an open carriage
and by making one in the suit of Spanish dame
whose faint floss Of a raven mou,tache ruled the
privileges and gallantrics Of the place, we OBJ
tanned a seat within two or three feet of the pi-
ano at which stood the singers. Mende'sohn the
dent Of Diyinity,) was among her attendants
The concert lasted a couple Of hours, and during
that time we drank, without drawing breath
not the music, but Jenny Lind. We doubt wheth-
er we could have told, that evening, what airs
she sung. The music was the least part Of it
There was no loud enthusiasm. Jenny Lind her
self did not seem to be taking any pleasure in the
concert-lor she was playing in opera to crowd
ed houses III Frankfort, and had come to the
Baths (siX miles, to give this concert for the
qualification Of the Prince Of Hesse-IIom5erg,
whose family were in private Box of the Hall
Gallery. There was attention of 4 peculiar
kind-the ladies all studying her intensely, like
a puzzle they could not make out, but of which
they were dying to absorb the secret for their
laonipor ri har
with troubled and thoughtful absorption, lips O.
pen, and heart and eyes bent on her with aban-
doned entircness. She looks cold, reserved,
modest, timid. Her complexion is very pale,
her cheek bones high, her hair very abundant
and of wavy blonde. Her bust is moderately
full, and if she has any one very great beauty, it
is the admirable setting of her head upon her
lift, the poise for different eX-
preston, the mingled selfrcspect and humility
expressed in it, being Natures ne plus ultra of
the mould Of woman. Her eyes, if We remem-
Der rightly, have dark lashes, but Of that we are
not sure, nor of what it is in them, that calls up,
in the heart Of the beholder a far-down and
hitherto scarce suspected want, the voice Of
which speaks from his better nature. How SO
so almost repelling, so colorless and
In-sensuous looking a creature can impassion
men of all kinds to the degree she does, is won
lcrful indeed. Not wonderful, however, if we
admit that in all mems hearts turks a concealed
angel of goodness, and that Jenny Lind's counte-
nance is the mirror which reflects and reveals
