OrERA.--Csstle Garden is fixed fact in this me
uopos, but like many another fact, it is SO fixed,
so permanent, so every day in its character, that
thousands of persons under whose very noses it
exists, never dream of partakng in its delicious

ocean, which FLASHES gently and unsteady, where
its element is thus bounded. The sea breeze whisp.

oTbed moon rises above this great temple of song,
gliding the tops of trees, the walls Of the castle,
and slvering the placid waves which heave in gen

ships-the gems Of generous and intelligent com
