The Value of Character.

How well it would be for all those who set
out in life with business ambitions, if they
would learn to be content with little things
before they snatch at large ones; to make
progress slowly and gradually, and not with
rapid and enormous strides! 1t seems as if
every month, almost every week, brought
some new account of a misguided and crimi-
nal man who has hasted to be rich, who has
sought to Glitch the prize of fortune by other
than honest and legitimate means.
Not little by little has he been willing to
accumulate honorable wealth, but by rushing
into the vortex of speculation, by driving his
craft under full sail down the slippery rapids
of embezzleEent, defalcation, and breach of
trust The insane and utterly foolish desire
to live fashionably, and to have ones name
ranked among the highest incomes, is
moIe and more Turing men on to
business rashness and fraud; and
unless the strong tide of this ambition
can be somehow changed, our commercial
life seems destined to become hopelessly cor
rupt and corrupting, and the honest banker
and merchant and trader to be known only
as by ancient tradition. Money is very use
full and riches very desirable; but all the gold
in the Golfers of men and the mines of the
earth cannot compensate for the loss of man
ly integrity, or compare Tor moment with
the worth and value of true and noble char
acter! INDEX.

The temperance for the season of Miss
Cary as Orsini in ''Lucrezia Borgia," at the
Academy of Music, is chronicled by the New
York papers as great success. We append
brief extracts from their notices.
The Herald says:
Of Miss Cary, in this connection, it is
scarcely necessary to speak, She is as old
friend as the few years which she has sung
in this country permit her to be, and the
brilliancy with which she last evening empha-
sized her reappearance only made the bond all
the closer After the
commonplace chorus that greets the audience
at the rise of the curtain Miss Cary (Orsini)
furnished the first vocal treat of the evening, a
verJ pleasurable indication of the menu of
rarities prepared for the occasion by
Mr.. StrakOsch. This was the pro-
fe>sion OF devotion to Gennaro, express
ed in the romanza fer contralto, Nrlla
fatal di Rimini." Miss Cary surprised even
those who admired, couple of season, ago,
her pure, cultivated, equay-balanced and
sympathetic voice by the dramatic energy
with which she declaimel the words, ''Fug-
Cite Borgia, Giovanni" This was the
first pleasurable surprise last evening, and
served as good introduction TO the subse
quent triumph IT the tenor, basso and prima
donna-we name them in the order of merit.
Miss Cary in the last act made one OF the hap
piest impressions dnring her career on the
operate stage by her rendering of the brindisi
"Il Segreto per esser Felici."
The Times says Miss Cary was Mdfio
Orsini; her numerous merits have often been
alluded to in these columns, and they were
as apparent yesterday as ever. In the third
act she had to repeat the brindisi, and the
audience almost insisted upon enjoying q
third bearing of the tune.
Oys;ni obtained a verv large share Of the
evenings acclaim. Her rich, full voice was
never heard to better advantage than in the
Brindisi, and she was compelled to repeat
the song.

Romance ofOId Court Life in France. BY
France. Elliot.
Historical gossip of all gossip is the most
entertaining, ana it possesses an additional
advantage in that it has all the interest of
fiction whi its reader easily persuades him
self and Others that he is not wasting his
time in the sinful indulgence of novel read
ing. Romance of Old Court Life in France,
does not purport to be fiction though it has
many marks OF the historical novel; 1t is a
series of sketches of war and -love-making
and intrigue from the time of Francis the
First to that of Louis the Fifteenth. or
necessity it is biography of the mistresses Of
the Valois and Bourbon Kings, for histo-
ry OF the hereditary rulers of France is a bis
tory of the women who governed them. How
much of it is taken from French memoirs,
rich in gossip and scandal, and how much is
''cribbed" from Dumas and his kind we are
unable to say but we assert without fear u
contradiction that it is a vastly entertaining
