A traveller in Palestine says that not far
from the probable site where the sermon on
the Mount was delivered, our guide plucked
two flowers, supposed to be of that species
to which our Lord alluded when he said I:
I" Consider the lilies of the field" The calyx
Of this lily resembles crimson velvet. and the
gorgeous flower was Of white and lilac, and
truly no earthly monarch could have been
arrayed" more gioriously than one Of these.
Such IS the testimony Of nature to the words
spoken by our Lord.

MILE PiCCoI. .oMINI-This new prinna donna
made her first appearance before an American
dence at the Acadamy of Music, New York, on
Wednesday night. The papers highly praise her.
The Irib'sne says: q
In person she is rather under the middle height.
In carriage she is graceful and high bred. Her
face boasts pair Of dark eyes ol exceeding vital
ity and expression, well-turned features, and
markable powers of mobility Her nature evident
ly is quick, ardent and enthusiastic. Her voice
10 warmly toned and, in the lachrymose portions
of the opera, which abound, is fullof the lowell
nesssof tragic sorrow In q.asitst not the.
highest rank, but the electricity of the artist lends
it at the climax of intensity expressions which
is apart and truly admirable. In the three acts
which we heard there is no ibrid music so can
not Judge of her ability to execute it. In decla-
matory and sustained singing passages, she is ex-
cellent. Her phrasing leaves nothing to be desired
Her enunciation is perfect. With a true air of
high Italian nature, she is prodigal of facial ex-
preston, answering to the sentiment OF the mo-
nent. As an actress, she is charming Her play
of the arms is particularly good. The last scene OF
the broken hearted, dying consumptiye was best
atnthe close. The tremulous agony OF JOY at the
meeting of her lover was exquisitely faithful. to
nature The impression left on not that
of grand, but asbeautiful artist-zfnished and
fascinating. The applause of the audience was
heartiest at the end, when Mile Piccolomini re-
ceived the honor of triple call before the cur
