An Incident of Her Life-How sho won the
Friendship Of a Rival. AZ

Friendship Of a Rival.
In 1847 Giula Grisi and Jennie Lind were
signing in London. but at different places.
Each star struggled to outshine the other,
and those who evening went int costa
sizes over Crisis Ne3m0 were the next even
ing e%nraptured with LindB CAST Dtpa.
Such was the rivalry that it was not expect
ed that they would sing together in o pub
lie concert. But Qneen Victoria, thinking
it q shame that two singers % eminent
should be separated by q petty ~jealously,
requested both to appear at a court concert.
OF course, they complied with the request.
The queen cordially welcomed them togeth-
or for the first time. She then gave the
signal for the concert to begin. AS Jennis4
Lind was the younger of the two, il had
been arranged that she should sing frst.
With perfect confidence in her powerssshe
stepped forward and began. But, chanc-
ing a glance at Grisi, she saw the Sonthron's
malignant gaze fastened upon her. The
ferceness of her look almost paralyzed her.
Her courage left her, her voice trembled
and everything before her eyes, darKened.
By the utmost exertion OF her will, huwey-,
or, she succeeded in finishing her aria.
The painful silence thatfollowed its con-
clusion "a silence ever noticeable whera
those present are embarrassed-conyireed
her h had madea failure. The tonyic-
ton was confirmed blythe triumphant az
preston on Crisis countenance. Despite
the semi-torpidlty Of her happiness, the
modification and grief of her parents and
friends. Suddenly something's seemed
like n voice from heayen-whispered:.
sSing one ofyour old songssin your mother
tongue. She caught at the idea as an in,
SEPARATION which had fashedsinto her MIND
between the termination Of, the vocal part
OF aria and the accompanies final cords.
She, nnnoticed by the company, asked him
to rise, and took the vacant seat. For
a few seconds she suffered, her fingers 10
wander over the keys in a low prelude:
then she began to sing. Her selectionsw WAS
. little prayer which, in the long ago, Bhr
had loved above all other SONGS in hee
ehildhood's repertoie. She had notthought
Of it for years, As she sang she wac no
longer in the presence of royalty, but IN
her fatherland, surrounded BY those who
listen MOTT criticise. Not one Of those be-
fore her understood the words OF the
prayer, = but tho plaintipeness of the mel-
ody, and the inspired tones of the pure,
