Duke Charles bad heard Tornelli's "Paso Mario," and after wards raved of the composer of the be witching-air, "Sposo e vado di morir," wishing for nothrug'more than to attract to his presence this celebrated Italian. He soon succeeded in his desire, as life, at Rome had been made intolerable . to NicoliTonelli by the suddea and violent death of his young rival, the highly gifted Portuguese, Terradellas. He, therefore, accepted the call to Germany; where the famous violinists, Lolli and Nardini, had already settled. . The composer of "Case Mario" was , enraptured with; the orchestra at the German court, and still 'more with the fait Marianne. Opera after opera was enthusiastically composed for the lovely singer, and the number .of these at Stuttgart is said to be twenty three; but the ease with which Marianne acquired these beautiful and often difficult parts heightened ' his admiration for her. From all parts, friends andicrities were attached to the Scuttgatt opera. To: nelli's music, and - Lolli and Nardini. For Marianne, Tonelli wrote his "Olym piade," his "Repaiitore." and the "Didona Abandonata;" and the nice ness of her discrimivation, the passion of her acting, only incited him to new creations, that they might be thus perf feetiy rendered by this charming wo r man. Iu each new part she wasgreetr ed with loud applause.

FROM THE GEITHA:s; OF ELISE roi,go. With especial courtesy, the duchess had approached the singer, and:the tie of true friendship united the two wo men::: Often, Marianne passed 'whole even ings in familiar intercourse alone with her. Sometimes also the duke came, and often they sent for Lolli, Nardini, Picker, and Tonehi, and, in this infor mal circle, enjoyed music till late in the night, when they' sellom separated without listening to the favorite air of the princely couple. This pleiiisant friendship with the court excited bitter envy in certain circles, and this feeling was doubtless the cause of the subtle!, quent fall of the singer; but, 'thus far, all secret attempts to injure her - had proved of no avail. ' `When the BMB-couple went to Vienna, the duchess so warmly recom - mended her favorite to the empreee, that she was received with the most ifracions kindness, and feted as no one bad ever been before. The memory of • her career In "the ,liinpcnial 014 4 formed the most cherished recollections of her life; though afterward , these trinmphii were only repeated in England. - When 'Marianne returned to Stutt gart,' Tonelli arranged n grand concert, at which she appeared with her husband and Loul and Nardini. The whole , town was in an excite ment, and all hastenedto greet Hitt long missed favorites:. Brightly the moon shone i mid the soft-gleaming starlight on that, summer evening, when a court-carriage arrived to convey the prima donna to the ?tiers house. , Quikly the horses sped, while, buriediu the soft cushions, she dreamed only of new triumphs—but, hark !—a cry souudedthe'earriage stops, and the beautiful ' powdered head bent , far out of the window. What had happen ed ?. Oh, nothing important. A care leis wbmai had crossed the streets and Peoplo had already lifted her, and carried , her into the little house, - which she pointed out as her home. This was the answer of the footman. Deep indignation, indignation clouded the beautiful Lice. . "I wish to alight." she said. Impossible,"' decided the :servant, Who was deVoted , to her. "We have not a moment to lose; their highnesses wih be in their , box in , ten minutes.", "Open the catriage•door, I tell you! A poor creature-. is. dying, :perhaps through my fault. I assume the res ponsibility of being late, even; before the emperors and kings of the whole earth !" • - She spoke anthoritatively as a queen, and, the next instant, was in the street, in the small house, and in the narrow room where the poor woman had been carried. Like, the good fairy in dill; dren's stories, this beautiful being up-. peered in these miserable surroundings. All fell back before her, the room was emptied of the curled's, and Marianne saw herself in the presence Of a sick man, reclining in an arm-chair, mid, it his feet, knelt the rescued woman. She had escaiied unhurt, but her face was deadly tale from terror. - "It is nothing," she said, to the bright creature; do not niake him anx ious; I have not hurt myself.", —Alice' car!, A little basket was On the &at, from which had,fallen a bouquet of artificial flowers. Involuntarily Marianne stooP edto take it up. Then she put her soft hand on the shoulder .of the kneeling woman, and asked if..a I physician had been called. I do not need a physician; .1 um well, and be will soon be well, too," she re plied, and the light of love audiender peas beamed from: her dark eyes, and brightened the sick man- in the arm , chair. But Marianne did not leave till, with uit *ha sweetness and fascination pecu liar to her, she elicited the little becret from the woman. Only a part of the every-day misery of all agel; sickness and poverty', hope and disappointment. An invalid musi cian and a faithful wife who made, with great skill and patience, beautiful flow ers of.straw, , and 'sold . them for a low price: The bouquet which Marianne hold,in her hand, and regarded with so much admiration, was !the one unsold to day. • "Will you sell 'me this ?" she asked. "Please tell tale' the price." ”..loa are the famous singer," an swered the woman, after a slight hesita tion; know you well, for I have of ten seen you pass in your carriage. People have fold me how good you ate, and I will sell" Ion that bouquet for one single song, if you will sing it to my sick husband." The figure glided through the room, the train of her long satin robe swept the floor, and the servant saw sith ter ror that Maiianne opened the covers of the spinet witli her own hinds. Standing with her head turnet toward the young couple, and, recalling one of Cnipar Netsoher's famous pictures, she sang, 'more exquisitely than evei, the song, "5p0.40 e vado di morir.)' When she ceased. she heard a sound --silvcr:clear lind joyous -a sound - which cannot be likened 'to anything in the world—the sweetest, loveliest music in the whole creation—the happy tones of a child's Voice. A small. delicate hand had pulled aside the .courtains of the cradle, which stood unnoticed in a cor ner, the fair and lovely head of u 'my peered forth, large blue - eyes 'merrily. looked from one to the other, 'a little sleeper was waked, -- and applauded the prima donna as a real musician's child.

"Oh. how sweet it must be- to educate tied care for a child !" And tears, brighter than the diamonds sparkling on her white dress, shone in the eyes of the beautiful woman, as she said farewell. Their highnesses received Marianne 'lithe greatest favor, though she was `Mote than half an hour late, and the duchess, who had, been most impatient, embraced her darling before , every one. How was it possible totspoil such a wo maul And then, what a fancy, to wear between the sparkling jewels upon her{ bosom a boquet of straw•flowers !' deed. it was quite time for the prima' done to trembie—for was there no light cloud on the bine heaven of her life ? no thornbush_thrown on her flower- strewn path ? From that evening Marianne watched over the little enthusiast in the cradle, and others also watched the boy—there fore the heavy eyes of his father closed Without care. , Has the little one become a musician? His name is Andreas Stress Streicher, the most faithful friend of Frederick Schiller. The delicate straw bouqUet had been placed in the casket of the beautiful singer but a few nionths.

When it was opened, only a bouquet of'straw , flowers was found, so the jailer granted the request, and his wife placed the gift in Marianne's bands. - • Long did the beautiful eyes gaze on the simple leaves and blossoms—a dead ,ly paleness overspread the still lovely face—but the eyes softened, the bosom heav ‘ ed—the cloud-veil of sadness was rent asunder aAsweet child face appear ed,-and the evening in Streicher's little room rose as a bright picture fromthe deep darkness, of oblivion.

At her request - different kinds of straw were willingly furnished, and after many efforts she learned to arrange the flowers, which so tar excelled those of her model, that from the' simplest ,ma-, terials came miracles of poetry and art. 'One day a bouquet from liohenas perg was put on the writing-table of the duke, with a greeting from the night ingale, bearing the first, notes l of— "Sposo e rad° di ilizorir." <l. • Then the order came to liberate the prisoner, and Marianne Pirker was saved, • . The celebrated prima donna was never heard again - in [ public, .for she retired to Heilbronn on :the Neckar (her husband was impriaoned at Stutt gart). and Ihed there in the greatest re tirement.' She - only sang when she made her flowers, and this 'work was now her f ivorite 'occupation. The fame of her bouquets and wreaths, spread over Europe,- and even the Empress of Aus tria and ;Catharine of Russia ordered them of her. She rarely received, visitors--she, so petted and caressed—and still .more sel dom left her asylum, but the children and birds knew and, loved her. .One evening at twilight the ;neighbors thought that they saw two slenner young men knock at the do'orr of the vine -covered horse, and the of a itervant acid that her mistress screamted - with joy when they entered.
