    The evening passed as such evenings usually do—the rooms got warm , if the people did not ; some ices were carried about to other ices which sat still . There was music , and singing , and tallpng in the midst of both , excruciating the nerves and feelings of tbe

    musician , and mortifying the vanity of the musical exhibitor . Qne exception to that rule occurred on that evening , towards the conclusion of the entertainment . A rapid prelude , which appeared a voluntary , was fallowed by a voice of so deep , sweet , and thrilKng a tone , that the crowd became instinctively hushed , the spirit of passionate melody appeared present , and even the babbler dare not break the spell . * Forgotten quite—forgotten quite—The pang I cannot bear ! Oh , feel my brow ; the death-drops now Are there'

Full of power as that burst of song had been , it seemed his last , for he lay across the arms of those who had raised him , as if life were extinct . c This way , this way / exclaimed Mr .
