jenny Lind Coming To- America.

\ correspondent of the Christian En-
qut'cr, writing from Vienna, says:
While in Dresden we had the de-
lghtful pleasure of seeing Jenny Lind
often in her domestic capacity of wife
and mother, and it is a great source Of
satisfaction to me TO find her in those
most Interesting relations of life rs happy
as it is possible to imagine She has u
fine boy three and half years old Her
voice is US excellent and touching ss
ever; if anything, more so !; and | am
glad to be able to say that we have at
least chance of hearing her again in
the United States, for she will probably
settle down, permanently, either in Eng
land or in the United States, within six
months and although | think that she
will prefer the former country, | am
almost sure that she would in such case
visit US, as she has great desire to re
visit America, not for the sake Of max
ing money, but because she likes the
country and the people, Still, if once
there, She will sing, for she must be-

Romance Of Life.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, Of the 2 inst,
furnishes the following touching incident:
We heard the particulars yesterday, of
one oflhose strange episodes in life, in which
the old adage Of" truth is stranger than fic.
ton " was fully illustrated. About six
years sinca. lady namrd Mrs. Martha
Wood, accompanied by her son, his wife
and two children, arrived in this city from
New Bedford, Mass. She stated that she
was widow Of some twenty.fo Years
standing, her husband having bsen mate
of whaler, which had been lost at sea
The family have resided for the greater por-
ton Of the time on Liberty street. Mr..
Wood, the son, working at his trade, which
is that Of a cooper.
Yesterday morning a gray-headed, and
tol.worn man called n; the residence of the
family, and seeing Mr.. Wood, inquired for
the widow, who, being called into the room.
while gazing intsEtly at the stranger, whose
eyes were fixed mournfully upon her, re.
quested to know his BUSINESS,
"Do yoH not know me, Martha" said he,
and as the sound of his voice, like memory
Of oldeR melody, met her ear, she gave vent
to hysierical cry, and tainted in the arms
which were openad to receive her.
The tale is soon told: The slip in which
ho made his last voyage from New bedford
was cast away in the South Sea Islands, and
he was one Of the few who escaped the wa
terry grave. Aiiar enduring ALMOST unheard-
Of privations, he succeeded, after thirty
years absence, in reaching his native city.
From a brother of his wife he learned their
present location, and arrived here to find
her whom he had left young and bloom.

The Mothers Bird.

brow, and gazed with mothers love into
the baby eyes.
Earnestly, with her little head pilowed
against It's soft resting-place, did this bird.
like child listen to the soft murmurinos of
her mothers voice, as she told her of that
