The Nightingale at Stockholm-From
the London correspondence of the New
York Herald we take the following ac-
count of the appearance of Jenny Lind at
the Swedish capital:
"A strange excitement pervaded Stock
holm--every one was on the Qai aive to
hear Jenny sing.
when will she appear npublic?'
when shall we again have the chance
of hearing our little fayorite OF past
years?' were the questions every where
heard.
Meanwhile the manager of the Coult
Theatre had called upon her to arrange
for the first night of her appearance.
This was soon done. She was to ap-
pear as Agatha, in Der Freyschutz,' the
eharacterin which, when yet child, she
had fascinated the ears Of Stockholm.
AT length the night drew near. Such a
tumr c as then took place in the streets
of the Swedish capital was, possibly,
never heard in them. AT four o'clock,
the avenues leading to the theatre were
crowded, and when The doors were
opened at elk o'clock, the people crowd
ed into it with as great rush as they
were, subsequently,, to exhibit on similar
occasions in London. Her reception was
SO warm and enthusiastic that for several
minutes the attempt to comm Sr;e her
part would have been useless in the ex-
treme And when her first air had been
sung, such burst of applause welcomed
it as has rarely been heard within the
walls ola theatre. Criticism ofsuch an
appearance would be worse than useless.
1t was o triumph. She had but to sing
to be overwhelmed with applause. Her
talents as; +, actress were also now OBJ
served more keenly than they had before
been; and when burst Of Wcber's mel
ody came from her, it seemed as though
those who heard would have never ceased
from their extacy. Such was the first
public reception Of this great singer, on
her return to her own native city; and
when, that night, sne retired to rest, it
must have been witha keen feeling that
she had, for the first time, drunken. and
drunken deeply, from that cup which
was for the remainder Of herlife to be
ever filed with that most precious of
wines--the wine of popular celebrity.
'On the following day she was waited
upon by the chamberlain of his Swedish
majesty, who came to request her to
sing at court.
This she did in thefollowing week, and
then for the first time she received per
sonal compliments from, many Of those
who had promoted tho child's early in

YOUTH AND AGE.

ny oHARLEs SWAIN.
The proudest poetry of youth
Is" Would were n man."
The golden years that lie between
Youth, like dream, would span.
'Tis in its thought-'tis in its heart
'Tis ever on its tongue;
But oh, the poetry ofage,
1t is" When Iwas youngr
Thus, in the nom oflife, our feet
Would distant pathways find,
The sun still face to face we meet,
The shadow falls behind
But when the morn of life is DER,
And nature grows less kind
The length'ning shadow creeps before,
The sunlight falls behindl
With many murmur, slow and sad,
The stream of life flows on;
That whichwc priced not whcnwo had
Is doubly priced when gone!
Andmany sad and solemn truth
Liss written on life's page.

And Poetry OF Agep

''The bursting buds look up

On the warm hill side-and the violet

Meekly, and countless wild flowers wake to fling
Their earliest incense on the gales of spring.
Continual songs arise
From universal Nature-b'rds and streams
Mmgle their voices, and the glad earth seems
A second Paradise
Thrice blessed springl-thou bear'st gifts divine!
Sunshine and song, and fragrance ARE all thine.
Nor unto earth alone
Thou hast blessing for the human heart,
Balm for its wounds and healing for its smart
Telling of Winter flown,
And bringing hope upon thy rainbow wing
Type of Eternal Life--thrice blessed Sprngl"
