whose bacchanalian revols and lack Of
economy have so distressed the dis
tinguished lady who became his wife
and placed at his disposal the earnings
and savings Of the best portion of hcl
artistic life.
The Gd-eite infers that the "Swedish
Nightingale" is inclined to cntcr hel

readily listen TO a business proposition
from some skillful American manager
to make a tour Of the United States.
Madame Goldschmidt still preserves
her voice, though its power and com

ment, aud its melody hardened by sad
social relations. But she has name
which will never die, and new gen

WoMAN's INFLUENcE.-It is q won.
drous advantage to man, in every pur-
suit or vocation, to secure an adviser
in a sensible woman. In woman there
is at once a subtle delicacy of fact,
and plain soundness of judgment,
which arc rarely combined to an
equal degree in man. A woman, il
she be really your friend, will have n
sensitive regard for your character,
honor, repute. She will seldom coun.
sci you 20 do a shabby thing, for a
woman friend always desires to be
proud of you. AT the same time her
constitutional tmidity makes her
more cautious than your male friend
She. therefore, seldom counsels you to
an imprudcnt thing. A mans best
female friend is wife of good sense
and heart whom he loves, and who
loves him. But, supposing the man
to bc without helpmate, female
friendship he must still have, or his
intellect will be without garden,
aud there will be many an unheeded
gap, even in It's strongest fence
Better and safer of course, arc such
friendships whore disparity of years
or circumstances puts the idea Of love
out Of the question. Middle life has
rarely this advantage; youth and old
ago have. Wo may lave female
friendship with those much older
and those much younger, than our
selves. Female friendship Is TO a man
the bulwarlS, sweetness, ornament oI
his very existence.
