abridged and tmproytscd manner in which 1t
was placed upon the stage was 4 llockcry to The
genius Of Weber. The songs OF the spirits lost
all tdcality, and the vocal fanfare, HJanitis

given IN an insipitl and careless manner,
Whilst the charm Of the cantabile: "oh belle
inconnue," was rendered BY the s;nnc tenor with

TWO GREAT EVENTS
now loom up in France with solemn grandeur.
George Sand has passed away, and King Louis
Philippe has returned, to rest in the cemetery OF
Drcux. These occurrences are noticed far and
near, but shall we not heed the hymn that Nature
sung so swcctfy as the regalcortage stood around
the Inonarch's tomb? The rain was falling, und
almost profound, when little bird trillcd
its notes, and soft music filled the aiT.
The power of Nature, the nlockery OF splendor,
the frailty of Anan life, were the burden Of its
song Hantcrre also appears prominently be-
Rose Feast; that stfctc patronale " which was
established BY St, Alcdnrd centuries ago. The

red, trimmed with black, red and whitd, red
with every hue which will in tile least co, form

This atfcctation of simplicity IS to be avoided In
