THE HARP.

Let moi the harp neglected lie,
Awake III. silent strings,
And spirits from its depths will fly,
With music on their wings;
There's not thought the heart can own,
But finds sister here,
For Joy there Breaches a kinder tone
There's music for the lea. :.
And there are voices loved Of old,
Which slumber in its cells,
Where richer far than pearl or gold,
The soul of music dwells;
Oh. lightly touch the silent chords.
Awake some early strain,
And olden song, with glowing words,
Will breathe for us again.
Here freedom wakes her mountain songs,
Her victory retains,
And midst the sounding wire prelongs
Her war-cry on the planes;
Here pity tells her tale of grief,
Joy here delighted sings
The cypress and the myrtle leaf
Are twined among the strings.
Begin, my harp, nober theme,
Sing not for earth alone,
To God who lives and rules supreme,
Awake thy sweetest tone;
Let all thy founts with song divine,
Before his affairs flow,
And be, 0 Lord that music thine,
Which thou hast left below.
Thus will thy joyful notes ascend,
Like melodies above,
Where harp and voice forever blend
With music and with love;
And evry tone of thine will be
With sacred thought allied,
As il some heart he'd giv'n 10 thee
It's {. elings ere il died.

Pupils of this city and vicinity. The system he
follows 10 facilitate the acquisition of the French
Language, uniies in due proportion theory and
practice; by which avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with in pursuing one the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idiomaucal part of the language, prac-
teal one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, at least far too much, are
neglected. In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
| after having devoted long time 10 the mere me-
morizing of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of number of set phrases, valuable il is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions,
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil in adopting his method may, with
little effort after course of forty.sight lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the
sistance of teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution of the studies of that language.

RacheI,s Contract for the United states.
M'lle Rachel is quite disposed to traverse the
ocean as soon as the Minister of State has with
drawn his opposition to her doing so. In this
hope she has had the contract prepared, which
she is to sign with her brother, and which the
latter has been kind enough to communicate to
me. The following are the principal clauses OF it,:
Mile Rachel binds herself to give, in fifteen
months, two hundred representations in America,
including the island of Cuba, for the sum of
twelve hundred thousand francs, or at the rate of
six thousand francs for each representation. She
is to draw this sum each night out of the receipts,
and her brother Is to give her, before her depar-
ture from Paris cash security Of 3OO,O 900 francs.
Mile Rachel and her father, whom she takes with
her to watch over her interests, to have all
their travelling and hotel expenses paid. She is
to have two tennles de chanlbre, and IN each town
carriage with two horses placed gratuitously at
her disposal. She is to be entitled to four bene-
fits, each guaranteed at minimum Of twenty
thousand francs. She may, at the end OF six
months, break this contract by giving her brother
a months notice beforehand. IL she executes it
to the end, the father is to be entitled to third
in the profits of the sum after three millions of
receipts and Mile Rachel is to be entitled to the
half of said profits after four millions and a half
of receipts for she estimates that the amount once
attained, her brother will have gained as much as
her-that is to say, twelve hundred thousand
francs The expenses of the latter are, however,
not to exceed on an average 6,OOOf. for each rep
rcsentation, for he will have to pay the whole
troupe that accompanies his sister, as also the
rent of the theatre where she plays.
If this enterprise of nj lie Rachel and her family
is carried out it will form of the most curious
pages in the history Of the drama and of industrial
speculation Barnum and Jenny Lind may then
be regarded as dethroned king and queen-two
eclipsed stars.
