JENNY LIND,s FAREWELL TO
AMERICA.

The farewell concert Of Madame Jenny Lind
Goldschmidt in New York. on Monday evening,
was attended by tho largest and ineIt audience
aver assembled in that city. The vast area of
Castle Garden was crowded to its utmost capacity
and thousands thronged the passage wAys-the
covered bridge leading from the Garden to the
Battery, and the walks into the street far beyond
the outer gates. Among tho pieces which she
sung was u Farewell to America, the words Of
which are by g. p. Cranch, of Washington, and
the music by Mr.. Goldschmdt. Sho was receiv-
ed and heard throughout with warm applause
Tho farewell song was sung with evident feeling
and was we'll received. Tho following are the
Words
Young land Of hope-fair Western Star!
Whose light hailed from climes Afar--
leave thee now-but twine for thee
Ono parting wreath OF melody,
o take this offering of the heart
From ono who feels tits sad to part.
And ifit be that strains of mino
Have glided from my heart to thino,
Ny voice was but the breeze that awOptf
The spirit chords that in thee slept;
The music WAS not all my own
Thou gavest back tho answering tone.
Farcwoll-when parted from thy shore,
Long absent scenes return moro
Where'er the wanderers home may be,
Still, still will memory turn to thee
Bright Freedoms clims-I feel thy spell,
But must say fNreWell-farewoll!
On retiring, Madame Goldschmidt was loudly
chCersd, and, after withdrawing, returned to ac-
knowledge the acclamations with which she had
beOn followed. No announcement has bcsn IN acle
of another concert and, she sails on Saturday,
it is possible she has been heard for tho last time
in the United Statos.-Balt. Sun.

THE CIIIEFTAIN OF BARITARIA

hN MARIE JANE TAYLOR.
Darkly rolled the turbulent waters ofthe

the breaking up of the ice, the angry wa
ters madly lashed the trembling shore,
and hurled it's wrath to the whistling winds
when n vessel was seen to bravely buffet
the wild waves, and make its way toward
the island of Baritara. 49,
She was small but stoutly built craft,
whose crimson banner and black hull,
announced to be pirate cruiser ; but had
a doubt remained of her lawless nature
it would have vanished Mt single glance
at her crew, whose warlike accoutremcnts,
stern and d0untless countenances, announ-
ced them to be men before whom the bra
vest heart might well quail.
The vessel soon came to land, and with
silent speed the crew disembarked, and
after conveying all their goods on shore,
they turned toward the ship and shou-

ocean set foot on this peaceful island -
and in obedience to their invitation, their
chief left the vessel, entered boat, and
soon stood before them, aud never did n
more splendid form meet the eye than
stood revealed in the person Of tnu pirate
chief. person, Ea was tall and majestic,
with great breadth and depth of chest,
while the free and easy movement Of the
limbs, the light and agile step, announced
great activity as well as prowess
His features were bold, handsome and
expressive-his eyes dark. brilliant and
thoughtful-had rowing, restless fire,
that seemed to we'll suit his character of
pirate king.
His hair, dark as the plumes of night,
fell in glossy curls around his neck, and
shaded a complexion that might have see
med too dark, had not the roseate hue of
health, bloomed in deep volumes on either
check.
His costume was bright blue, edged
and laced with gold red velvet cap,
trident shaped, and resembling the fable
wand of Neptune, was surmounted by II
golden crescent, over which waved plume
OF snowy whiteness, completed his attire.
Proud and lofty was the look with which
ne surveyed the formidable appearance OF
MS followers but that look faded into
one oil stern melancholy, as lifting his plu-
med cap from his lofty brow, he said in
avoice that was heard above the anorv
waters that dashed by
Friends and brothers-You have
