shakespeares fancy saw her "walking DER The
dew of yon high eastern hills" There is might"
as beautiful as LOngfelow impereonates her,
hoatlng through space on fleecy clouds. There
are surging waves and thunder clouds, sinking
rocks and sailing boats there are mighty eagles
carrying beautiful living FAIRIES through show
ers OF gold and silver; there lovely animate
forms seen rising out of dreary wastes OF water,

as II has never been done before. Many of the
eHects are as wonderful magic. The opera
