SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL a.
THE SITTING OF PETER.

THE SITTING OF PETER.
pYHENRY W. LoNGFELLoW.
In st. Luke's gospel we are told
How Pete, in the days OF oio'
Was sifted.
Ali row, though ages intervene,
Sin is the same, while time and scene
Are shifted.
Satan desires us, great and small,
As wheat to sift US, and we all
Arc tempted;
No one, however rich or great,
II, by his station or estate,
Exempted.
No house 30 safely guarded is,
But he, by some device OF his,
Can enter;
No heart hath armor 80 complete,
But he can pierce with arrows Meet
Its centre.
For all at last the cock will crow,
Who hear the warning voice, but go
TIL thrice and moro they have denied,
The Man of Sorrows. erucihed
And bleeding.
One look at that pale, suffering face,
Will make US feel the deep disgrace
OF weakness;
We shall be slfted till the strength
Of self-cenceit be changed at length
To meekness.
Wounds in the soul, though healed, will ache
The reddenng scars remain, and make
Confession;
Lost innocence returns no more;
We are not what We were before
TransgI ession
But noble souls, through dust and heat,
Rise from disaster and defeat
The stronger,
And conscious still OF the divine
Within them, lie on earth supine
No longer

Yesterday afternoon Mime. Marchesi offered
to her own and her pupils friends the highly
appreciated treat of singing competition or
concert among the latter. 1t will interest and
please our readers o know that a goodly share
OF the honors OF the afternoon fell To the lot of
American pupils of Nine Marchesi. Among
these may be particularly sgnalized Miss
Mary tombstone and Miss Seebass, singing
under the name OF La bonita The former
who halls from Washington, since we heard
her III April last ut u concert given in the
same hall, has certainly gained both in conf
dence and expression, her beautifully clear So
prano voice proving Very effective in Mulders

repeat the last passages. Miss Seebass met with
equal success in the Jewel Song" from
Faust, an especially trying air to sing before a
Paris audience, members OF which must all have
heard IL repeatedly from the first operate
artistes- Notwithstanding this danger, La Don
1ta acquitted herself in the difficult task TO the
vehemently expressed satisfaction of the ali-
dience, who recalled her several times and
