pieces advertised in the bill; for there

of the cordial praise which You have be-
stowed.'
De Beriot lay down again, and the
music continued rs sweet and perfect rs
before. First, the theme charmed like
the nightingalc's %warbling, and the va
r~iatiOnS followed like fireworks, spar
king and brilliant and vanishing in the
broad sky of ethereal harmony.
81 ought to be jealous" exclaimed
De Beriot. ssBut God bless YOU, nv
friend. There is only one that can sur
pass you, and that is the great Paganini
himself. You are his duplicate; and
did you say that the Parisians failed to
notice you? Good heavens. are the
people mad?'
"The good people Of Florence will
show better favor" interposed the
beautiful Malibran. "What will be
their surprise when they discover two
rtrtuoSi within their city,"
"The people of Florence, respond
ed the Youngest of the company, like
all the rest, will receive ne coldly when
they find a stranger instead of a favor
lite. What can 4 dumb instrument do
beside such a voice? But | have made
a promise, and keep it I wiU."
The trio separated each with the
kindliest wishes and good will. De
Beriot went back to his couch, the fair
Malibran to her dres>ing-rOom, and Ole
Bull to room No. 10, in the attic.
That evening the people Of Florence
waited in eager suspense for a grand on
cert to begin. The curtain rose, and,
amid the loudeSt and most enthusiastic
applause, the queen-singer made her en-
tree upon the stage. She was conducted
thither by Il stranger, at sight Of whom
every member Of the audience became
hushed. Some, indeed, began to scOwl,
and lament the absence of their idol;
but even they changed their features
when the duet was sounded. IL was the
Malibran who introduced the stranger.
and the latter proved himself an artist.
The excitement knew no bounds, and
every one freely acknowledged the pres
cncp of a star of the first MAGNITUDE.
the odd name of the Nor
wegian artist fingered on every tongue.
From Florence his glory spread over
the whole of Europe, and at length
crossed over the waters to America. He
was cOurtcd, revercnccd, and greeted

of their negligence in the past. However,
it is not too late for action-let them act

is an obstacle in your way, remove it !;
walk around it, or climb over it If the screw
Of oppression begins to tighten aud bear
heavily upon you, turn it up If obnoxious
laws discriminate unlustly against you, re-

unraithful to their trust, consign them to

them and send men from your own ranks
