SONNET ON A PORTRAIT . By MRS . F . B . SCOTT . Here let us pause awhile ! As some calm place , From crowds and tumult far distinct and lone , By moss and simple llow'rets all o ' ergrown , Steals on our sight this sweet and pensive face 1 High attributes the busy mind may trace :
Though sits triumphant on her marble throne , And the curved lips a lofty power own , AVeaving the last rich web of classic grace , Forth from the soft eyes ( 'neath whose steady gaze My heart grows strangely sad ) come mystic gleams , Telling of high resolve and Heaven-sent dreams . 0 haunt me , eyes , throughout the wint ' ry days ! Guide and protect me with your piercing beams , And wrap my spirit in your softening rays ! Tweddell ' s Yorlesldre Miscellany
SONNET , AA'RITTEN IN A LADY'S ALBUM . BY BROTHER GEOEGE MARKHAJI TWEDDELL , Author of " Shaksperc : his Times and Contemporaries , " etc . Lady ! I know not how mine humble pen Can give a lustre to thine album ' s grace ; Say , shall I sing the praise of worthy men ?
Or tell the beauties of thy seraph-face ? I know not , lady , how my rustic lyre May sound unto a well-timed ear like thine ; Or like the flames of some funereal pyre Its tones should rise—an offering , divine 1 AVeet as the gentle murmur of the brook That over gravell'd bed doth wind its way , Should be the stranger written in thy book , — A sylvan sonnet , or a roundelay . Thus , like a sheepish singer , I prolong Time in excuses longer than the song .

Madame Grisi has taken her farewell . It is said that she is bound , by express agreement , to sing no more in public in London ; but as her re-appearance at sundry private concerts has been one ofthe events of the fashionable season , it will not surprise us if , in this form of occupation , Madame Grisi still continues her relations with her English admirers for a while longer . New operas by MM . Semet and Grisar are in preparation for the new Theatre Lyriquein Paris ; alsoa grand ( Biblical ?) operab
, , , y M . Halevy , "Noe , " in which , says the Unioers Musicals , Madame Viardofc will take the principal part . The same auihority announces as forthcoming a version , for the new theatre , of Dr . Marschner's "Templer unci Judinn . " It states , too , that "Les Troyens , " by M . Berlioz , is not , for the present , to be given at the Grand Opera . The ro-appearance there of Madame Viardot in" Le prophete , " has been a great success . It is her opera . In the hands of no one else has the part of Fides ever been effective , or
appeared probable . A taste for part singing appears to have taken wholesome possession of France . There is to be a meeting of Orphionisles at the great fair of Beaucaire this year .
