occurred IN the very autumn for which the
opening of her brilliant season" had been
planned. was lett penniless orphan. She
was flung in moment from the caressing
atmosphere of afiluence and idolatry into tie
harsh air OF need, and the calculating friend
ships of distant relatives. She did not real
iZe at first all the sorrows Of this change; but
as time passed the cry of her heart became
more de ISOLATE and bitter. She wasted herself
IN longing for that never-to- be.recalled bond
age of maternal love, that irkscme fondness
which had SO tenderly hcmmed her in from
all rough usage OF this "work.day-world.'
The sweet, rich, ripping voice, trained
as,heticaly for parlor use-Florence Grey's
singing, a part of herself, which, like herself
had been tenderly nurtured ana flattered and
held sacred - home life-was metamorphos
ed into thing of market value.
She had yielded to circumstances, and two
years after her mothers death journeyel TO
ward Italy, TO cultivate there for public use
her musical gift.
The friends who took her under their pro
lection for the journey stopped several weeks
in England.
In London, at the Royal Gallery, where
Florence was spending a morning with heI
friend Theresa, she was presented casually
/ TO Mr. B, a rich bachelor of New York
famous for his atiiuenc', and famous also
against his modest Will, for his benevolent
munificence.

The joy that through the wildw God rung,
In this, cannot be told or sung!
Or II our heroine did assume
The moccasins and eagle plume;
Or chief, the war paint cast aside,
In Difference to his pale-faccd bride;
Or wedding pomp and presents rare.
Ny FESTIVE muse will not declare!
When first the savage torch was light,
That havoc spread, that dreadful night,
Her lover chief had been her guide,
And hid her in the mountain SIDE,
Here, brought her, as he often came,
The sun dried flesh Of mountain game;
And all things else desire might Heed,
And to her wish gaveconstant heed

Many, of high and honor'd name.s
