! SIGHoRINA PARoDI.-The fame Of this young
Italian songsress bids fair TO surpass that of all her
contemporaries. After the great sensation which
she lately created at Tripler Hall, in New York
she has still greater triumphs at her debut in
Philadelphia, Friday evening. The Norn
-American says
'From her entrance, in the first act, up 10 the
finale OF the opera her performance continued
success, She greeted on her debut with loud,
generous, and prolonged applause. Her powerful
but flexible voice riveted the attention of all
TO the progress of the opera; and by her artistic skill
In the delineamcn ofthe character of Lucrezia she
carried il with her TO the end. She is u great ac =
tress IL is her merit and her triumph that we see,
not Parodl and we not merely listen 10 Il success
sion OF beautifully executed pieces of vocasm, but
behold the living character before in all its pas
5lonate reality and viyidness The dramatic facul-
ty inspires her execution of the music and gives TO
her naturally fne vocal powers double energy and
expression She was called out enthusiastically
after each act. and received the braves and bou-
queis OF delighted audience. At the close of the
piece the applause was very great and prolonged"
The Bulletin has a critique on the performance,
from which we extract the following
None who have preceded her in this opera are
TO be compared TO her in vocal power, while as an
actress we scarcely know of her superior in any
department Of the drama"
"Parodi's voice is of extraordinary compass
Her low contralto tones the finest have ever
heard at the same time her voice ID clear, even,
and musical through the entire range and strikes
the upper notes of the ordinary soprano with great
facility She INDUCES in excess of ornament,
but Is always equal To the rendering of the most
dtfcult passages OF her composer with perfect
fidelity High as were the expectations of all who
heard her, they were more than fulfilled by the
splendid performance of last night"
The Pennsyipanian says:
"Parodi bore off the honors last evening AT the
Chestnut Street Theatre in the opera of Lucrezia
Borgia, before the most brilliant audience that has
assembled at Old Drury for years, JENNY LINp's
first appearance here not being compa rable to it..
and the third tier crowded with dollar spec tators.
1t is III vain to describe the perfect triumph of this
great actress and artistic; and there but one
opinion about 1T. Parodi caught the electric
thusiasm OF the audience, and responded in tones
that carried the house by storm. She is unques-
tionably the greatest i'll her profession who has been
heard here III many years; and we question if she
has q living superior In certain range of charac
ters."

MY BreecheS.

BY O w. HOLMES.
1t chanced to be our washing day,
And all our things were drying;
The storm came roaring through the lines,
And sent them all flying,
/ saw the sheets and petticoats
Go riding off like witches;
l lost-oh! bitterly l wep;-
| lost my Sunday breeches.
I saw them straddlng through the air,
Alas ! too late to win them;
saw them chase the clouds as if
The very duce was in them;
They were my darling and my pride,
NV boyhood's only riches;
Farewell farewell / family cried,
NV breeches oh, breeches
That night saw them in my dreams
How changed since last knew them!
The dews had stepped their faded threads,
The wind had whistled through them;
saw the wide and CHASTITY rents,
Where demon claws had torn them
A hole was in their hinder parts,
AS il an imp had worn them.
l have had many happy years.
And tailors kind and clever,
But those young pantaoons were gone,
Forever and forever!
And not till fate shall cut the last
OF all my earthly stitches,
This aching heart shall cease to mourn
My loved, my long lost breeches.
