THE LATE MISS NOSE KENNEDY, OF NEW ORLEANS. The many.friends in this city of the lamented lady whose name heads this article will ha gratified by reading the following tribute, to her memory from the pen of Richard Storrs Willis, which appeared in Once a. Month f„ April IN 11TEhiORIA.PS Of the gifted strangers who have visited New Yerit society within the last few seasons. no one has been more lovingly remembered than Miss Rose Kennedy, of New Orleans. A Society so gay--perhaps so volatile, 'as ours,- i 4, not easily impressed by the higher and Severer msthetic-culture. Brilliancy of a more artifi cial and demonstrative character often meets' with much speedier and wider recognition. But Miss Kennedy was an exception to this. She caine to us when the national puLSe was at fever heat, and the seefikaal feeling was vehe ment and uncompromising. She came with' All the Southern conviction deep and strong upon her : but she came with music in her heart—she gave to us of that music—and from that moment we knew nothing for her but the most heartfelt admiration. Few can forget the Matinee at that hospitable home in Twenty-first- street, where this gifted lady first unlocked for us her music-treasures —by none more keenly appreciated than by him, the noble host and gentleman, who now, like MisS Kennedy, - has passed to that fair Music-land, where they will . never know a dis sonance more ! Lea perpetua cis ! The distinguishing excellence of Miss Ken edy's talent lay in her interpretation of the music she played—the deep significance she -gave it. The mere notes of almost any music are now attainable by all who will industriously avail themselves of the modern facilities for execution. But the flight above and beyond all this, is that which so few are competent to .:akeit is, indeed, just here that the higher music-power reveals itself, and mere industry stops.. - We all recognized in Miss Kennedy this higher music-power. It was equally recog nized in that classic school of Art, =LeiPsie, Germany, to which Miss Kennedy proceeded f rom Now York, where she received from a Conservatory founded by. Bachand Made mous by Mendelssohn such unwonted honors and where she passed from -the music:that is, to that which forever shall be ! We have written these few words as a brief introduction to the following lines, which a gentle hand has 'sent us for publication: DEDICATED TO . THE .Frieude of that very amiable, gifted and much lamented . Lady, MISS ROSE-ENNLDT, OF NEW OBLE There she grew Where the new, Cupped in orange flowers, Is, in jessamine bowers, Drunk at dawn By the sprites of morn. Thence she came. Heart of flame, To the land of snow, Where_tbe currents flow, Coldly. bound, Over frozen ground. And while here, - Where the tear, ~ Ice bound in the heart, Is not seen to start, I,yea fast fill, Hearts melt, dead nerves thrill To the gsrdens tilled. In the milder, orient clime; Milder made and tempered soft with art, We with yearning heart eaw her depart, Fondly trasting, for a time, her to gardeners skilled- Then we heard how fair, Under tender culture meet, Grew she till her fair companions paled How a fragrance from her soul exhaled, Most harmonious and most sweet, 'Midst sweet flowers most rare! But the Mighty Gardener who keepeth Eden still, where sorrow smiles, and suffering -sleepeth, Where the dearest flowersgatbered in their prime, Culled froth all the blooming fields of time, Cherished are by his untiring hand In that summer land, Plueked our Rose and placed her in His breeutt: There she lies at rest—dear rest!

The United States Christian Commission has seized the pretient golden opportunity of rest tor the Army to extend its work for the good ofthe Soldiers - - STATIONS have been multiplied, each with its chapel and store tents, free writing tables, and. clothingo comforts and reading matter for gra tuitous distribution. .. - VOLUNTARY DELEGATES, in .numbers greater than ever before, have been sent to prdaoh the Gospel at the stations and in regiments, bat. teries and camps without Chaplains, distribute reading matter and stores, and labor for the good of the Soldiers. A • PERMANENT FIELD AGENCY has been sufficiently. extended to establish stations and superintend the work. • THE "BLESSING OF GOD rests signally on all parts of the work. Many thousands have been cheered, benefited and saved. Still a large part of the Army remains unreached, and double the number, both of stations and delegates, are needed to meet the argent demand for them. The Mins:lan tionunission offers to the people a perfectly reliable and wonderfully economical channel to reach the entire army in all its various fields. The money given goes in full measure, in benefits for body and soul, directly to the Soldiers; and stores also, immediately from the hands of delegates from home, who add words and deeds of kindness to the gifts when bestowed. Let the people give the money and Stores, and the work will be dons. The large corps of Delegates now in the field will serve as a grand corps of relief when the armies shall move and battles be fought, and the greater their number the more prompt and effec tive will be the relief they shall render. Let not the present work languish. Walt not for the cry of the wounded and dying before pro viding relief.
