 ROTE — The Action of this Opera takes place at Paris, during the 
 minority of Louis XY. and the Regency of the Due d’ Orleans. 
 The famous, or rather infamous, Mississippi scheme of the 
 notorious John Law, the French pendant of our own South Sea 
 Bubble, furnishes the canvas on which the authors have based 
 their fantastic story. The Baker who gets rich of an afternoon 
 by Speculation — the crowds of fashionables dabbling in Missis- 
 sippi shares in the [Rue Quincampoix — the feverish tone of 
 society — its ups and down, as lightly touched in the opera, 
 are in reality matters of history, and such an episode as the 
 Romance of “ LA BOULANGrERE ” might well have occurred 
 at such a time.

 And in their sentry boxes nod ! 
 
 1st Bob. You are there ? All is right ? 
 
 Chorus. We are here ! - All is right !

 Chorus. Home from ball or the play, 
 
 Courtly dame, cavalier, 
 
 Must perforce pass our way, 
 
 And their lackeys we don’t fear ; 
 
 Yet ’tis well to rob slow, 
 
 And not plunder in haste, 
 
 For some nobs are so low 
 As for di’monds to wear paste

 Not so fast ! but stand and deliver !

 Bav. Light finger’d gentlemen, you do not seem to me 
 To be aware, 
 
 Of this important fact ; we are returning 
 Prom a fancy fair ! 
 
 Or, that the stalls were held by beauties bright 
 Tho’ with trade notions strange, 
 
 For they’d never, oh never, take “ no,” 
 
 And they never had change !

 I own I burn’d, 
 
 And she said “ I might at a price,

 Prithee, ha’ done !

 (b) Stock-Broker’s Song. — 44 ONCE A LADY’S 
 HEART.” 
 
 I. 
 
 Once a lady’s heart with love went throbbing, 
 
 As hope might thrill, or care might cart it, 
 
 But now that women do stock jobbing, 
 
 Hearts rise and fall just with the market ! 
 Technic slang of the 44 House ” they’re pat in, 
 
 “ Contango,” 44 Backwardation,” all, 
 
 “ Th’ account ” for them’s not Greek nor Latin, 
 They even talk of the 4 4 Put and Call !” 
 
 But if they come to our city den, 
 
 They slily do so without the men, 
 
 And sweetly say, 
 
 As they trip away ; — 
 
 “ Don’t tell our husbands, don’t tell our brothers, 
 
 Our uncles, our nephews, our fathers, or our mothers, 
 That we dabble on the Stock Exchange !”

 Sweet the scented breath of tender maiden, 
 
 As she whispers hope to sighing lover, 
 
 But with quite diffrent tones *tis laden, 
 
 When asking us to 44 carry over !” 
 
 Ah, the dark side of speculation, 
 
 The little darlings take it ill ! 
 
 And rather shirk their liquidation, 
 
 And look askance at our Broker’s bill ! 
 
 Or use this plea if we feel irate, 
 
 44 You see, our dressmaker will not wait !”

 I. 
 
 The first tears of my girlhood, 
 
 Were for a broken toy, 
 
 But soon I found another, 
 
 And grief was turn’d to joy ; 
 
 But losing one’s first lover, 
 
 Is harder still, no doubt ! 
 
 ’Tis so good to have a sweetheart, 
 
 ’Tis so bad to be without ! 
 
 II. 
 
 We two were, oh! so happy, 
 
 Our life one long delight ; 
 
 We quarrell’d all the morning, 
 
 And made it up at night !

 Will let me chide and pout ? 
 
 ’Tis so good to have a sweetheart, 
 
 ’Tis so bad to be without !

 An Idyll in Black and White. 
 
 Margot. 
 
 I. 
 
 Two lovers once a lady had, 
 
 One was a miller to his trade ; 
 
 Whilst odd enough the other lad 
 Out of small coals a living made ! 
 
 Now from this fact, (as will appear, 
 
 To the well constituted mind), 
 
 Came a result at first sight queer, 
 
 But which on reflection you’ll find .... 
 
 That one of her lovers was black, was black, 
 
 The other young man he was white, was white* 
 The one as black as the coals in his sack, 
 
 The other like fine flour was pure and bright. 
 
 Chor. Oh ! one of her lovers, etc. 
 
 II. 
 
 Mar. When Mister Miller breathed his flame, 
 
 On her fair cheek he’d leave a track, 
 
 So did the collier, much the same : 
 
 One mark was white and the other black ! 
 
 Thus the neighbours knew right well, 
 
 Miller or collier’s courting day, 
 
 For, casting an eye upon the belle, 
 
 Each one to the other would say : 
 
 ’Tis the collier to-day for she’s black', all black* 
 
( 20 ) 
 
 To-morrow the miller, all white, all white, 
 The one as black as the coals in his sack, 
 
 The other like fine flour so pure and bright !

 I. 
 
 An arrangement we’re in white, 
 
 Or a symphony in dough, 
 
 Seldom seen by eyes polite,

 Yet we are nocturnes in flour, 
 
 Picturesque, that is, at least, 
 
 From midnight hour, from midnight hour, 
 
 We watch a rising in the yeast !

 We have the loaves, we have the loaves, 
 But ah ! the fishes come to you !

 Hands are unloos’d, the last word spoken, 
 
 Like you I am heart-free again ! 
 
 Free of thine empire, sway’d yet so lightly, 
 
 (Why should one under tyranny fret ?) 
 
 Free from thy fetters pressing so slightly, 
 
 Free to do all ... . except forget ! 
 
 Ah ! ev’ry tie is broken, etc.

 II. 
 
 Now I am free, why should I fear thee ? 
 
 Therefore I think all day of thee, 
 Therefore I keep thy image near me, 
 Scathless I do so, being free, 
 
 Ev’ry thing from the day I first met thee, 
 Lives yet again at memory’s call, 
 
 Nay, do not think that I regret thee,

 Chor. To sneak another’s lover, 
 
 May seem an action deft, 
 
 But all we can discover, 
 
 Is that it is a theft ! 
 
 So now, no longer tripping, 
 
 Give him up, give him up, 
 
 Or p’raps you’ll find some slipping, 
 
 Betwixt the lip and cup ! 
 
 We strongly disapprove 
 Of larceny in love, 
 
 And if she speaks the truth, 
 
 You’ve embezzled Toinette’s youth !

 If you but rob us of our love ! 
 
 We who have hearts to throb and thrill. 
 
 Shall we be less than deer or dove ?

 I. 
 
 Our ancient creed of decoration, 
 
 Is fast becoming quite effete, 
 
 And if you’d know the last sensation, 
 
 We’re nothing now if not aesthete 1 
 In notions dark of Art I pined, 
 
 And had a hankering for beauty, 
 
 But oh ! my utter joy to find, 
 
 All ugliness my duty ! 
 
 And now between me and the herd, 
 
 There is a perfect schism, 
 
 Intensively intense I live, 
 
 In a state of “ dado-ism !”

 Of sickly green on wall and dress, 
 The yellow sun-flow’rs big and sprawly, 
 Are quite too utter loveliness ! 
 
 I play upon a double bass, 
 
 And wear the up-and-down-est frocks, 
 And from my aesthetic sallow face, 
 
 Stick out intense my bird-nest locks ! 
 
 For now between me, etc.

 All is past ! The dream is over,

 Ne’er to count the moments o’er ! 
 
 Yet the fervent vow so soon forgot, 
 
 Was uttered yesterday, 
 
 Whilst thy heart thou gavest (didst thou not ?) 
 
 For ever and for aye ! 
 
 If farewell can e’er be spoken, 
 
 To one who haunts me like a spell, 
 
 Whose empire o’er me is unbroken, 
 
 Then, oh ! my darling I now, farewell !

 All is past and mem’ry only 
 Can give one ray of light to me, 
 One beam of light to him all lonely, 
 Drifting far on life’s dark sea.

 Is that we’ll meet again ; 
 
 That a happier day will sure requite 
 My sorrow and my pain.

 I knelt in the shadowy Minster, At the ho - ly ves-per hour, 
 
 I knelt in the shadowy Minster, 
 
 At the holy vesper hour, 
 
 But in my heart was a sorrow 
 That defied its soothing pow’r ; 
 
 “ My life is darken’d for ever,” 
 
 I cried in my passionate pain ! 
 
 “ Why kneel where the happy are kneeling ? 
 All wishes and pray’rs are vain.” 
 
 And casting my sad eyes upward — 
 
 As my heart was by anguish wrung, — 
 
 A shower of je well’d radiance 
 
 On the pillar beside me was flung : 
 
 It came from the western window, 
 
 With the sunset all ablaze, 
 
 Where Martyr and Saint were painted — 
 And I could not choose but gaze. 
 
 And methought, as I gaz’d, that a lesson 
 From the storied pane did shine, 
 
 And patience and hope were taught me, 
 
 By a sorrow greater than mine !

 A LL good Pianoforte Players are well aware that perfection in tone and touch is 
 attained only in the Grand Pianofortes* of the best makers. A near approach 
 has been reached in certain delicately constructed and expensive Upright Piano- 
 fortes; but the very delicacy of the mechanism is a drawback to their use by ordinary 
 players, while jtheir costliness is another dement that militates against their popularity. 
 J. B. Cramer and Co. believe that they have solved the problem of combining the 
 greatest attainable excellence, with durability and moderate cost, in the New Piano- 
 forte now being issued from their factories. From the me%%o-forte to the pianissimo, 
 the tone of this Pianoforte is deliciously vocal ; , while in rapid forte passages it has 
 all the decision and brilliancy that can be desired. In any case it answers promptly 
 and certainly to the sensitive touch of the accomplished player — its effects and 
 sympathetic mechanism being more than equal to anything that has ever been pro- 
 duced in a Pianoforte of this class, ;
