GOOD NIGHT," (Cradle Song-Wiegenlied) com

posed by ALEXANDER REICHARDT, price 2s. 6d. London: published by Duncan Davison & Co., 244 Regent Street, W.

The day, pretty darling, draws near to its close,
Come, cease from your play, on your pillow repose,
You peep from the cradle still laughing and bright,
Kind angels for ever preserve you, good night.
With freedom from sorrow, dear child, you are blest,
To you a pure heaven is your fond mother's breast;
Wild passion some day will your happiness blight,
Kind angels preserve you, my darling, good night.

Ah! happy is he who can slumber like you,

Be ever, dear child, to your innocence true,

The righteous are watched by the spirits of light,"
Who guard them while sleeping, my darling, good night.

"Few songs of modern days have achieved a more decided or better merited success than Herr Reichardt's charming lied, "Thou art so near and yet so far," which has for the last two years been the delight of all concert-goers and drawing-room vocalists of more than ordinary pretensions. Messrs. Duncan Davison and Co. have just published a new composition, from the same original and elegant pen, entitled "Good Night" (a cradle song). The words are exquisitely simple and unaffected, being the address of a mother to her sleeping babe; and it is but justice to Herr Reichardt to say that he has wedded an exquisite domestic poem to a most graceful, unaffected melody, which breathes the very spirit of maternal tenderness. The song, which is written for a tenor voice-the composer being, as our readers know, one of the first of living German vocalists is in the key of F major; and to amateurs of taste we can cordially recommend "The Cradle Song" as a composition worthy of their attention."-Liverpool

MR.

WEISS.

R. WEISS'S NEW SONG "THE KNIGHT'S VIGIL." (Poetry by J. P. DOUGLAS.) Composed and sung by Mr. W. H. The custom of watching armour in church was a religious duty imposed upon knights who used to consume whole nights in prayer to some saint whom they chose as their patron. Sir Neville spurr'd his gallant grey, And hied him on his lonely way; But ere he from the saddle sprung, The abbey's midnight chimes had rung.

He doffed his armour, whose fair sheen The stains of battle ne'er had seen; And said, "Heav'n send thee I may be, A worthy son of chivalry."

In hours when bright remembrance came
Athwart his memory like a flame,

A crimson scarf was given to tell,
Of one who loved Sir Neville well.

The gift was fondly cherished yet,"
And while his burning glance it met,
He sighing said, "Be thou to me
The beacon star of victory.".

Sir Neville kept his vigil lone,
Till the matin star had come and gone,
Then donned his armour and away,
He sped him on his gallant grey.

In many a land on fields of fame,

The watchword was Sir Neville's name. Where fell the bravest, there fell he, Fighting for love and chivalry.

The above popular and romantic ballad, now being sung everywhere with the greatest success by Mr. Weiss, is just published, beautifully illustrated, price 3s., by Duncan Davison & Co., 244 Regent Street, W.

EW BALLAD. "IN A LEAFY GARDEN," by GEORGE LODER. Sung with great success by Mr. RICHARD SEYMOUR, is just published, price 2s. 6d.

In a leafy garden, 'neath the evening star,'
Hand in hand they wander, they that lovers are.
In the west a gleaming, where the sun went down,
In the east a splendour from eve's brightning crown;
Gloom beneath the branches, odours in the air,
Happy are the lovers wandering slowly there.
Night hath many voices, none to him so dear
As the low-toned whispers dying on his ear;
Night hath dim revealings, none for him so high,
As the true love beaming in that soft dark eye;
In a summer garden, 'neath the evening star,
Ever will they wander, they that lovers are.

"MAY."

New Duettino for equal Voices, by HENRY

SMART, is just published, price 2s. 6d.

I hail thee, May,

Midst smiles so gay,

And song and sunny hours; 'Tis sweet to stray

At close of day

To cull thy dainty flowers.

'Tis sweet to tread

The chosen bed

Of daisies bright and fair,

And hear the song

Which floats along'

From feather'd warblers near.

Then while I live

I'll ever give

A welcome to thee, May,

For thou art queen,

Of fairest green,

Oh! smiling, lovely May.
