CAPT. EGERTON AND THE CHORAL SOCIETY.

The members of the Choral Society met last night for a friendly gathering prior to the departure of the Hon. S. Egerton, who, during his stay here, has become intimately associated with the Society. The oratorio of " Elijah" had been chosen for practice, and although thus called together without pre vious preparation, the members acquitted themselves in a way that gave their talented conductor great gratification. The orchestra mustered sixty or seventy strong, and between fifty and sixty ladies and gentlemen were present in the hall. At the conclusion of the rehearsal, Mr Fenton, ad dressing Capt. Egerton, who had been officia ting as conductor, said something to the following effect:—"l cannot allow you to leave us, Captain Egerton, without thanking you on behalf of ourselves, and, I may almost say, on behalf of the people of Auckland, for the trouble and time you have devoted to our instruction and advancement during the time you have been amongst us. Of course your reputation had preceded you, but we did not expect that you would have honoured us with the attention which has been so liberally bestowed by you upon this society. How pleased we have all been, and how anxious to avail ourselves of the oppor tunities you have afforded, you have yourself been able to judge. Many of us have been a quarter of a century in the colony, and have had no opportunity of hearing the modern school of music, or of obtaining the instruction which is needful to keep up with the times. But you have, nofcwithstandingourshortcomings, recognised the tie which music establishes between all lovers of the joyous science, and I assure you that none of us will ever forget your patience and forbearance di ring the time we have been under your command. It is not likely that we shall ever meet again, but we shall bear you in mind, and would almost ask that we may not ourselves be entirely forgotten by you. I thank you again for the Society, and bid you farewell, desiring that you will receive these words, not as those of empty compliment, but as the sincere feelings of our hearts." The members present signified acquiescence in these remarks by applauding, and Captain Egerton, remaining still at his desk, said : "Ladies and gentle men of the Choral Society, I did not expect this expression of feeling on your part, and am quite unprepared to make such a reply as I should desire. I entirely recognise the strong influence which a love of music exercises in bringing people together, and inspiring mutual|regard, and lassure you that I quite value the expression of esteem which Mr "Fenton has uttered on yous behalf. You have given me little trouble, and here I may state that the state of efficiency in which you are speaks very highly for the gen tleman who has had the conductorship of you. lam not saying too much when state that this Society is not sur passed by any in the Australian colonies. And here I must in truth call your attention to your one fault—that is, a want of punctu ality. You will find it greatly to your ad vantage if you can abandon that fault. And now I must bid you adieu, and I thank you all for the kindness with which you have re ceived me, and for the attention you have paid to my stick." Mr Brown was present, and he must have been highly gratified by what fell from Captain Egerton, for no man's opinion is of more value on musical questions. Such a testimonial must almost have com pensated him for the labour which he has expended on the Society for so many years, for it will not be forgotten that he has been its conductor from its foundation.

THE POET'S DEATH.

The poet felt his final hour had come— The hour of death. And through the curtained casement of his home Came spring's mild breath ; Came whispering through the foliage of the vine, WhiTe o'er him watched his faithful Caro'ine. From his trim garden she had plucked a rose Bathed by a shower, - That he might see once more ere Nature s close, That sffli"s«^ e ethoShhoSr ßht To give a colour to his passing thought. His life was waning, and the sense of smell He tou^W/lnJish flower he loved so well, How m^SS-Srf&i thoughtful Caroline For that sweet symbol of a rose divine. He breathed a prayer, his lips were seen to move. And gSd'S hlSr-Ta-Imed his fondest love c'e ' On,wings of silence passed he from our earth To feeKnewNKghter, heavenlier birth, • J.B.
