Twilight Musings.

Sitting alone by my window tonight,
Nem'ries come DER me stealing
DIVISIONS bright and forms oflight,
To my saddening heart revealing
Scenes that are hidden from others gaze,
Ofpast, and present and future days
CHoRUs-They come, they come! these menu
ries bright,
Ever about me thronging,
Filling my soul with a strange delight,
And a vague, indefinite longing
Fora sight the forms on that fairer shore
And music Of voices / hear no more.
Visions I cherished in happier days
When life seemed bright before me,
Ere the chilling blast and a sky o'ercaSt
With clouds, came sweeping DER me;
And found-toO latc-how dear and fair
Were the blossoms that clustered around me
there.
CHoEUs-They come, &C.
Ever they bring 10 my spirit-repose,
Sweet as the dew Of even
When, al daylighrs close, to the dropping rost
The welcome balm is given,
And nature sinks 20 "a dreamy resi-
For dusky garments Of twilight dressed.
CEoEUs-They come, they come! these mem
ries bright
over my heartstrings sweeping,
Filling my soul with a newborn light
TIL marvel al mortals weeping
orfriends who are happier, far, than they,
Blest in the light ofan endless dag.

Fearing lest our condemnation OF Mr.. Alberry's
play OF "ForSnnen at the Fifth Avenue Theatre
might have been too severe, owing TO the neces-
sary shortcomings OF o first night in new house,
took occasion to see the piece after all the act
had become easy in their parts, but find that
we have no occasion 20 reverse our Judgment. The
play IL often brilliant in dialogue but It is weak in
conception, and without strong dramatic situa-
ations 1t reveals, however, some very good
acting under adverse circumstances, Mrs. Gbert's
execution OF the character part OF Lady Keating
being especially praiseworthy; and the smile OF
Miss sara Jewett az the young widow, Mrs Bur

reconciled, Is as sweet and bewltching as young

on the taste OF New York theatre-goe
A weak play, but dotted over with sparkling
repartee, produced by strong dramatic company,
acted on a stage where the scenery furniture and
all the surroundings were magnificent and in
