lrovgledre Of the principles Of music
was as profound as his proficiency was
remarkable. But before he had been u
year on the operate stage the theatre in
which he was singing caught ire, and
he was burned about the throat in such
a way as forever to destroy the voice
which would have made him rich and
famous enough to satisfy ambition itself.
Professor Dorimnr, as be afterwaIl came
to be called, had some small private
means which rendered him in handle
way independent, and with philo-
eophical serenity which rarely cnar-
acterizes the musicai temperament
he settled quietly down to be q writer
on the art and science Of whose highest
triu,nphs be could never more hope 10
partale. For the last eight years be
had lived in New York, but he was
known to very few. He sat with his
piano and lis manuscripts, and hi.
visions Of divine harmouics, III % retired
little room n few blocks west Of Wash
ington square, and seldom went forth
save to listen for half an hour to one
or other OF the very few singers whC
in his Judgment We're great enough tC
sing. lie never was known 10 have IN
dertaken the personal instruction o.
pupils, though he might undoubtedly
bayo derived a large income from SC
doing. But he was Of opinion that til,
right to use tho voice in music IS giveI
to but two or three in an axe, and tn,
chance that the training of on, so gifte(
should fall TO him was TOO remote to b
considered TO the myriad chances o
failure he preferred his comparative pov
erty ard his peace Of mind.
