Jenny Lind.
BY FREDERXKA BREMERW
There was once a poor and plain little girl,
dwelling in a little room in Stockholm, the
capital of Sweden. She was a poor little girl
indeed then; she was neglected, and would
have been very unhappy, deprived of the kind
ness and care so necessary to a. child, if it had
not been lor a peculiar gift.‘ The little girl had
a fine voice, and in her loneliness, in 'ironble
or in' sorrow. ehe‘ consoled herself by singing.
In fact she sung to all she did; at her work, at
her play, running or resting, she always sang.
The woman who had her in care went out
I to work during the day, and used toiloclr in
the little girl, who had nothing to enliven her
Solitude but the company of a cat. The little
girl played with her cat and sang. Once she
sat by the open window and stroked her cat
51nd sang, when a lady passed by. She heard
’ a voice, and looked up and saw the little sing
er. She asked the child several questions,
I went away, and came back Eeverat days after,
I followed by an old music master, whom: name
i was Crelius. He tried the little gizl‘sinueicul
ear and voice, and he was astonished. He
took her to—thc director of the Royal Opera of
Stockholm, then a Count l’une, whose truly
generous and kind heart was concealéd by a
rough speech and morbid temper. Creliusiu
troduccd his little pupil to the Count, and as—
lked him to engage her as “elve” for the Opera.
i“&’ou ask a footish thing!” said the Count
.grufily, looking disdainlully down on the poor
little girl. “What shall we do with that ugly
thing? See what feet she has! And thenher
lace! She will never be presentable. No, we
cannot take her! Away with her !”
i The music master insisted almost indignant
{jlgn “Well,” excleimed he at last, “if you
will not take her, poor as I am, I will take
her myself, and have her educated for the
scene; then such {mother ear as she has for
{music is not to .be found in the whole world.”
The Count relented. The liule girl was at
last admilted into the school for elves a! the
opera, and with some difiicuhy a simplagown
01 black bombasin was procured for her. The
care bf her musical education~ was left to an
able mastgr, Mr. AJben Berg, director of the
song school 01 the opera.
Some years later, at a comedy given by the
elves of ,the theatre, several persons were
struck by the spirit and life mxh which a young
‘elve acted the part of abeggar girl in the play.
Lovers of genial nature were charmed, pe
dants almost frightened. It was our poor little
girl, who had made her first appearance, now
about loorleen years of age, frolicsome and
full oi hm as a child. \ ‘
A low years still later, a young debutante
was to Sing for thefirst time before the public
in Weber’s Frieschutz. At the rehearsal pre.
ceding the representation of the evening, she
sangjin a manner which made the members
of the orchestra at once, as by eommon accord,
lay down their instruments to clap their hands
in rapturone applause. It was our poor, plain
little girl‘h‘ere again, 15th had now grown up
and was to appear before the public in the role
of Agatha. leaw her at the evening repre
sentation. ' She was then in the prime of youth,
lresh, bright and serene, as a morning in May,
pbtfeu in term—her hands and arms peculiar
ly graceful—and lovely in her whole" appear
ance through the expreesion of her countenance
and the noble simplicity and calmness of her
manners—tn fact she was charming. We saw
not an actress, but a young girl hill of natural
geniality and grace. She .seetned to move,
speak and sing, without effort of art. All was

nature and harmony: Her song was distin
guished especially by its purity, and_the pow;
er ol soul which seemed to swell her tones. Her
“mezzo voce” was delightlul. la the night
scene where. Agatha, seeing her lover come,
breathes out her‘joy in a rapturous song, our
young singer, oniturning from the window, ‘at
the back of the theatre to tilt? spectatorsagain',
was palejbrjoy. And in that pale joyousness
she sang with a burst of overflowing love and
life that called forth not the mirth but the tears‘
of the auditors. I _ p ‘
From that time she was the declared lavor
its or" the Swedish public, whose musical taste 1
and knowledge are said to be surpassed I 100! 1
where. And year after year she continued so, 1
though after a time her voice being overstrain- 3
ed lost somethingzof its freshness, and the pub- l
he being‘satiatedg no more crowded the house {
when she was singing. Still, at that time, she ‘
could be heard singing and playing more den 1
lightful than ever in Panamia (in Zauberflote) ‘
or in-Anna Boleria', though the opera was al
most deserted. (lt was then late in the spring, l
and the beautiful weather called the people out i
to nature’s plays.) She evidently sang for the'
pleasure at the song. : j
By that ~time sh’g went to take lessons of
Garcia in Paris, and so gave the finishmg
touch to her musical education. There she
acquired that warlile in which she is said to be
equalled by no singer, and which could be
compared only to the soaring and warbling
lark, it" the [ark ha’da soul.
And then the young girl went abroad and
sang on foreign shores and to loreign people. !
She charmed Denmark and charmed Germany;
she charmed England. She was caressed and i
c'ourted every w here'even to adulation. At that
courts of the kings, at the housesof the group]
and noble, she wad feasted as one of the gran- ‘
dees of nature and art. She was covered 1
with laurels and jewels; But friends wrote of :
her, “ In the midst of these splendors she only
thinks of her Sweden, and yearns for her
t'riends and her peeple.” ’ .
7 ‘ One dusky October night, crowds of people
(the most part, by their dress, seeming to be
long to the upper classes of society) thronged
on the shore of the Baltic harbor at Stockholm.
All looked towards the sea There was a
rumor of expectance and pleasure. Hours
passed away and the crowds stilhgathered and
waited and looked out eagerly towards the
sea. At length a brilliant rocket rosejoy fully,
far out on the entrance of the harbor and was
greeted with a general buzz. on shore: “There
she comes! there ’she is!” A large steamer
now came thundering on, making its triumu
phant way through the flocks of ships and
boatsiying in the harbor, towards the shor‘e oi
the “ Skeppsbro.” Flashing rockets marked
its way in the dark as it advanced. The crowd
on the shore pressed forward as if to meet it.
Now the leviathan ol the waters was heard
thundering nearer, now it retreated, now again
pushed on, looming and splashing; now it lay
‘ still. And there on .the from of the deck,
3 was Seen by the light of the lamps and roolsete,
a. pale, gracelul young woman, with eyes
”brrlliant with tears, and lrps radiant with
smiles, wavrng her handkerchtel to her friends
‘ and countrymen on the shore.
It was she agaim—OUK poor plain neglected
little grrlof lormer days, who came back in
Lrlumrrlr to her fatherlaud. But no more poor,
_no more plain, no more neglected. She had
become rich ; she had become celebrated; and
‘ she had in her slender person the power to im
spire and charm mulutudee. '
Some days later we read, in the papers of
Stockholm, an address to the public, written by 1
the beloved singer, stating «with noble simplh l
city that, “as she once more had the happiness
to be in her native_laud_. she would be glad to l
sing again to her countrymen, and that the in
come at the operas iu‘which she was this sea
son to appear, would be devoted to raisega
fund for‘a'echool where elves for the theatre
would be educated in virtue: and knowledge.”
[The intelligence was received as~it deserved,
and of course the opera house was crowded
every time the beloved singer sang lhere.-—-_
The first time she again appeared in the ‘
“Somnambnla” (one 0! her favorite roles,)
the public, after the curtain was dropped, called
be: back with great enthusiasm, and received
her, when she appeared, with a roar of “hur
rahs." In the midst ol the burst of applause, }
a clear, melodious warbling' washeard. The ,
hurrahs were hushed instantly. And we saw 3
the lovely singer standing with her arms 1
slightly extended, somewhat bowingforward‘, ;
graceful'as abird on its branch, warhling, war- 1
bling as’no bird ever did, from note to-nqte—
and on every one a clear, strong, soaring wars,
ble—until she fell. into the retournelle ol her
last song, and again sang that Joyful and ‘
touching strain: _ _ ‘ , . . l
“No thought can conceive how Heel alm‘y

She has now accpmplished Ihe good work
to which her l'atesl songs in Sweden have
been devaled, and she is again toleaveher
native land to sing lo a tar remote people.—
She is expected this year in the Umted States
of Amenca, and herarrival is wecomed with
‘ general feeling of joy. All have heard of

Its voice is loud and clear as the sound ofn

the astonishment produced by the tickling of'
