Let not him,(hat girdeth on his har ness boa?t hitiiself as he (liat puttbth it off and let not him that commenceththe inveAtijgation of Niisson with the porpose to do something, critical and sharp and not at all gushing—let him hot put that resolve on record, else in that record he shall 'write himself down an ass'.,? 1, ^id set oyt, dear reader (for, having "-inve9trgaled ^ilsson, I am in a tender mood, and shall call you dear, and hug you on presentation)—I did set out with that .very, very rash intent. Heboid in these few paged ilie lamentable failure which I have achieved 1

Speaking of failures —the history of Christine Niisson, from the time when she quit picking potatoes on that little Smoland farm until the time when she finds herself immortalized in these pages, has been a series of triumphs. If one reeks lor other than triumphs, let him go back to some date previous to that when Christine ceased to be a carrier of pota toes^for at that art and at the general routine of peasant girls' duties, she admits that she was a failure. Only the gathering of fagots in the woods suited her, and this because she could roam much at will among the trees, and see the blue skv, and think of things which are beyond both trees and skies. This period of her life was, as I say (perhaps because the fagot-gathering did not come often enough) a failure, or at least a trouble some puzzle. Did the good God, whom she intuitively loved, and to whom she still habitually appeals, with a piety truly beautiful—did He intend that she should gather potatoes to his glory forever and eyer? did He intend that she should wash the Niisson dishes and sweep the Niisson floors for aye? Something within her little bones told her No. The old women of

Wexio all said No, too for Christine was the seventh child, born after a lapse of seven years from the birth of the sixth and of course she would come to 6ome thing wonderful. (This oracle was prob ably promulgated after Christine became famous but of course it was just as true before.) "No," therefore was the solu tion of this problem but What of the other? What was

Christine made for?—

She soon began to solve this question, too. by the aid of her brother's fiddle. She discovered a wonderful faculty for retain ingf and reproducing tpelodies. To do this1 with the voice alone—ihat was hoth ing, thai was the same as breathing but to do it with the aid, or father the ob stacje, of a. violin, that was like eating .and .drinking —that was fun.

And so she

becamei at/eight, a juvesilg violinist—a prodigy, indeed, wandering with her brother from hamlet to hamlet (near honie, and winning many kisses and many peniiies for her talent.

Eureka! the problem was solved. She was born to he a ohukical genius. The violin, she: thought music at any rate.— This problem solved successfully, Christine's life becanhe, as I have sarid, a series of triumphs. Let us fairly epitomize the best of them, and allow the remainder to take care of themselves.

:Ficst,3

then, observe the girl at

Ljungby Fair—the one that took place in the year of our Lord 1857. The peasants are gathered, and are bent on their jocund sports. .The man with, the peepshow amusra much the ventriloquist still more, as he talks from his belly, and iseems to throw his worda into, all impossible -places. Siit. who .is that twelve-years-old gilrl who, with her fiddle under her arm and her flaxen braids hanging atraightly bfehind, admires solintently the man's trickery, and envies him po keenly his wonderful gift? That is little

Christine,

the child-wonder and however the other shows and sports may please, it is when she

plays and sings the delight of the throng is greatest. She must be particularly inspired to-day, for when she finishes, the huzzas ring out, the matrons all press to embrace her, and the man with the peep-show makes her an ofler of twenty-five rixdalere if she will come and play for him a year! This was her first triumph. Who shall say it was less in degiee than those more noted ones which she has since achieved? it '-^5^ "V f-.n

Christine, dutiful and affectionate child that she was, could not bear the separation from her mother, and therefore, with many tears, said No to the mountebank. Then, shortly after, the village magistrate, becoming interested, came in with a tempting offer to take charge of the girl, procure her education, and make an other Jenny Lind of her. Of course the mother knew the last proposition was fea sible. She saw a Jenny Lind in her little daughter, as many other parents have seen embryonic Jenny Linds and Paga rinis in their wonderful offspring. There are plenty of Jenny Linda at six or eight

years, but they all go where the pins go before they get out of their teens. Christine went to no such place, how ever. She went to Gottenburg, afterwards to Stockholm, and afterwards to Paris, to be finished into an artist. The mother had objected to the magistrate's proposition, but said, "If you ever have a third offer, my child, you may go but do not ask me." And sure enough, when the next offer came, from the Baroness Leuhusen, Christine accepted, eagerly but tearfully. She chose her career, and entered upon it as eagerly as the bird long pent, stretches his wings and soars into his element.

She had studied two years in Gottenburg, a year in Stockholm under Franz Berwarld, and three years in Paris, under Wartel and in a very select ladies' finishing school^ind now in the autumn of 1864, she had been brought forward to make her debut

as the Theatre Lyrique,

The story of this

debut

is also familiar to

this ia

the public. The fresh, fair Swede had: shown Paris a picture of the frail Dame aux Camellias

such as they had never seen

before. She had touched all their Tieartx* with the1 tenderness and pathos of the, tersonation* and charmed them equally iy the brilliancy of her vocalization and the purity of her tones. The plaudits

wl6'complete. T?' III. V'i During the season the Lyrique, liTKtine became thoroughly the pet of lie Paris public. Her name 'lras upon everybody's lips but while their praises rang in her ears, she did not forget her poor humble parents at Wexio. She seized the earliest moment to visit them and apply her savings (which, on two "iipufand francs a reason, could not have jrfy gnnclly) to the bettering of er-father^ worldly circumstances. The old man had attempted to be a landbolder—something extratbfdinary for a Swedish 'jBmt?e,—and had failed—that is, become bankrupted in the attempt. It was Christine's privilege to set her -father on his legs again, buy back the homestead'in which she was born, and vest the free title to it in the parent Niisson, "his heirs and assigns forever."

But it was the concomitants of their journey'to Smoland that were most memorable. and which must have constituted ^hat "proudest moment" of one's life, to which the orators pl° the banquet-table are so fond of alludinp.' At every station that Christine passed after entering Sweden on her filial "pilgrimage, there gathered the mayor or magistrate of the town, and the people en masse

turned out

to shake her hand and give her their best bouquets and make her their best speeches. It was "Hail, the Swedish songster and, "Welcome to the country (hat is pro'iid of you'.!" and everything that is flattering and sweet. .Was not this a triumph sufficient to turn the head of any girl not yet through her twentieth jeac?

And yet it did not seem to spoil.Christine. She went back to Paris and began studying harder than ever. She took an. Italian master, Delli"SWhe, and fitted herself right quickly (Saving'si Very tliorongh grounding) for the grand opera-and for'Italian. By and 'by she imade her debut

at the Grand Opera, where .thescfadei of merit and magnitude ia liigher than atr the Lyriquet It was-the same old story, only repeated w:ith more..emphasis. The Emperor and Empress were there. (Let us not call up the sad pictui-e of the Napoleon and Eugenie'of ntw,-but keep in' view .the splendid Empei'or and Empress^ of then.)

Eugenie sent her chamberlain

to thank Mademoiselle Niisson for the pleasure she had conferred (it was "Tra-. viata," and the poor Empress had cried all the evening!) and to beg she would accept her Majesty's owhJbouquet of violets. The Emperor regretted not having a bouquet of his own to send, but would take the liberty to send1 one in the morning. It came—pearla and diamonds in a gorgeous set of ornaments. Can you, dear reader, share sufficiently the foibles of the stage, of Paris, arid of womankind, to set this down as cne of our heroine's red-letter a

V. iV

There was a rival. Or rather, we may say that Christine herself had sprung into such prominence as to become thereby a rival to Paiti, whose title to la diva's crown had not been disputed of late. Patti, having conquered. Paris, had marched, like Bonaparte, upon the capitals of Northern Europe, and had, unlike him, succeeded in capturing them all,— kings, armies aud populace. Niisson had fairly supplanted the da,rk-eved diva

Veni, vidi, vici.

3?he London public was as crazy as that of Paris in its admiration of the Swedish cantatrice, and flocked-,in immense numbers to hear her in "Traviataj" "Faustj" "Martha," "Don Jiian," "Lucia," and all the standard operais, particularly her specialty of OpheUa, in "Hamlet."

But the consummation Of her triumph waft not until a year or, two later, when the Prince of Wales received the Viceroy of EgVpt^ and when both Nilseon and Patti were invited to the reception^ The Marchioness (that is Patti, who sports some sort of Marquis for a husband, you know) sailed into the principal saloon, thinking, "Well, here, at least, I can mortify my rival the Swede. Here.I figure

She stopped short for there, conversing ill' Swedish with the Princess of Wales, stood the object' of her sudden pity, apparently the most at home, the most af sorbed and the least self-conscious person in the throng. The high-spirited Mar chioness passed the' evening gloomily

abd retired early (poor Caux!), while her flaxen-haired rival was very particularly waited upon at table by the Viceroy him' self, who of course was the'lion of the eve' ning. I think, if any woman could.be magnanimous towards another, this gentle Chi istine would be the one to show that noble though by no means feminine quality but, as human nature goes, I -cannot but guess that there was some extra fervent embracing between the young prima donna and her dear and adopted mother when they retired to their rooms that night, and that this event furnished as mar and intense an emotion of triumph to Christine as almost any other of her life. 5SP. VI.

And now she has crossed the ocean, to sing to the savage Americans for a hundred nights, and at a price for each night which would have taken her near three years to earn at her firet wages in Paris. The compensation is greater than had ever been paid to any artist, in any country. The savage Americans turn out to be a people worth singing one's best to. Their critics (sagacious creatures!), determined not to be caught with any Old World chaff, attempt to decry the new candidate's voice but all of them succumb to it Booner or later, and add their tardy acclaim to that of the populace. Even to far Chicago the furor

Paris. Could she overcome her else where, or was her popularity thus far 8onie whim of the capricious Parisians? The.London public, as well as London society, was cold and critical. But it was not Careless or stupid and Christine felt that she could establish herself, or establish the altar of the chaste goddess whose priestess she felt herself to be, as firmly in London as in Paris. So, too, believed the warm-hearted manager, Ma*, pleson so, too, the.sagacious and accomplished English woman, ^hom Christine had adopted as her'constant companion, igly|ser, and close ^friend. They .wen rigjitj They poijq^ejred finglpnd with (uucli greater 'ease '0iah''Caisar'ever ifc complished that ^task, as''to rob that an cient commander of all legitimate title to his much mooted motto of

irsonatiqn of W*- Niisson of which was post enamored^ a set of ornaments of emerald^ and brilliants, from Eugenie: a pair of bracelets from Queen victoria and the Princess of Wales, one Irf sapphire and diamonds, and the other of rubies and pearls. These are the two which Christine is most accustomed to wear upon her right arm, at a concert of an evening.— One of those upon the other arm is from the Prince of Wales, andf bears his initials, "A. E." in large letters formed of pearls. The gorgeous necklace of large pearls and diamonds which she sometimes wears is from the Duke of Massa, a composer of much merit other jewels and ornaments, (lumbering many, are from ladies pf rank-in England, and among the trophies of a more emblematic character is a very delicately finished wreath of gold presented at Baden by Du Pressier, the nabob of that watering-place. The souvenirs

from the royal family of Eng

land grew out of a visit made by Mademoiselle to the Queen at Windsor, Of course by invitation. She was the first visitor the Queen'had received for any purpose of pleasure since the Prince Consort, died. Miss Niisson recalls With great,pleasure the visit, received entirely en JumiUe,

there being present only the

Queen, Prince Lfeopold.' Princesaes Louise and Beatrice, and t'wij ladies in waiting, to receive Miss Niisson and her lady companion. They had it' good leminine "sit down" of it and Christine sang and Victoria.cried Until both were very happy. The Quben iB an excellent connoisseur

of music, and applauded^ in the right places,.greatly' to her credit and her guests, staying, occupied a suit of rooms the mention of which made the lacqueys stare. (They had not been occupied since Prince Albeirt diedj)*iU

But if you will go (in imagination, of couisfe) to my lady's boudoir as she is: preparing lo rttife at night, you —,:t find that it is not the Heh

tokens of

royalty over,which, she lingers longest ind ihost, fondly. It is a little plain photograph, set in aiitlle jrtain caae, such as many of ua have upon onr mantles. The subject is a gentler, refined^ amiable appearing young men, with handsome face and a very prepossing expression This gentleman—August Rouzod—is the 1'icky fellow who is to fold to his bosom, some happy day, the object of a world's idolatry—the concentration of so many millions of heart-currents—the centre from .which, have radiated so many pulsations of sympathy, stirring millions of souls. This much-to-be-felicitated Rouzod, a stock-broker. by trade, was at last accounts on the ramparts of Paris, defending his country from the invader and his betrothed was reading daily the news of the warj and watching hourly for little square letters, of the shape and size which characterize the "balloon mail" oif Paris. She dwells with naive and touching fervor, upon the merits of her fitnee,.

and. contrasts him, with par

donable pride, against the _curmudgeons and eormorants whom certain other prima donnas

have married and it is not by

any means a violent exercists of the privilege of prophecy, to set down, the marriage of this noble artist and true woman to the man of her choice and her admiration as, after all, the proudest and best of all her triumphs.

And now, long live this interesting pair, and especially the lady, whose presence among us has demonstrated anew the universal capacity for falling in love with a great soprano And. long live Sweden and ,her warm-hearted people, wheresoever they wander And long live we, to cool our ardor at our leisure, and to make many additions yet to the %jyen Triumphs of Christine, la dim ,n'

Nor was it her countrymen alone who paid their devoirs. Thousands of all nationalities thrbnged about her, pledged her health in persistent toasts, sang her praises in every strain, and jostled each other to obtain the boon of a smile from her lips, or even a sweep from her garments, or a fragment from the table, as a memento of the occasion when they beheld Niisson face to face.
