By that time she went to take lessons
oflGarcia in Paris, and so gave the finish
ing touch TO her musical education. There
she 4acquired that warble in which she is
said 10 be equailed by no singer, and
VIII could be compared only to The
soae--g and warbling lark, if the LAX had
soul.
And then the young girl went abroad
and sang on foreign shores and TO foreign
people. She charmed Denmark and
charmed Germany; she charmed England
She was caressed and courted every where
even 10 adulation. Al the courts of the
kings. at the houses of the great, and no.
bic, she was feasted as one of the grandees
of nature and art. She was covered with
laurels and Jewels. But friends wrote of
her, "In the midst of these splendors she
only thinks of her Sweden, and yearns
for her friends and her people
One dusky October night, crowds of
people (the most part, by their dress,
seeming TO belong to The upper classes of
society thronged on the shore of the Bal
tic harbor at Stockholm. All looked tow
pectance and pleasure. Hours passed
away and the crowds still gathered and
waited and looked out eagerly towards
the sea. AT length brilliant rocket rose
ioyfully, tar out on the entrance of the
harbor and was greeted with general
buzz on shore:-"There she comes there
she is - A large steamer now came thun-
dering on, making its triumphant way thro'
the Aocks of ships and boats lying in the
harbor, towards the shore of the 'sSkepps-
bro Flashing rockets MAJ ked its way
in the dark as it advanced. The crowd
on the shore pressed forward as ic to meet
it.
Now the leviathan Of The waters was
heard Numbering nearer, now it retreated,
now again pushed on, foamlng and splash

of the lamps and rockets, pale, graceful
young woman, with eyes brilliant with
tears, and lips radiant with smiles, wa
wing her handkerchief to her friends and
countrymen on the shore.
1t was again-our poor plain neglected
little girl of former days, who came back
in triumph to her fatherland. But no
more poor. no more plain, no more neg
lected. She had become rich; she had
become celebrated: and she had IN her
slender person the power TO inspire and
charm multltudes.
Some days later we read in the papers
of Stockholm, an address TO the pubic.
written by the beloved singer, stating with
noble simplicity that, "as she once more
had the happiness TO be in her native land
she would be glad to sing again to her
countrymen, and that the income Of the
operas in which she was this season to
appear, would be devoted TO raise fund
for a school where elves for the theatre
would be educated in virtue and knowl-
edge The intelligence was rec elved
as it deserved, and of course the opera
house was crowded every time the be-
loved singer sang there. The first time
she again apperared i'll the .'Somnam-
bula" Zone of her favorlte rotes, the pub
! lie, after the curtain was dropped, called
her back with great enthusiasm, and
received her when she appeard. with a
roar of .shurrahs" In the midst of the
| burst of applause, a clear, melodIous
warbling was heard. The hurrahs were
| hushed Instantly. And we saw the love
ly singer standing with her erms slightly
exteded, some what bowing forward
graceful as bird on its branch, warblng,
warbling as no bird ever did, from note
to note-and on every one clear. strong
soaring warble-unul she fell into the

sang that joyful and touching strain:
mo thought can conceive how | feel at my
heart"
: She has now accomplished the good
work 10 which her latestsongs in Sweden
/ have been devoted, and she is again tc

mote people. She is expected this year
/ in the United States of America, and hel
