Tas BALL Room AND HoMr.-A ball room!
what a scene of commonplace! how hackey-
cd in novels, how trite in ordinary life, and
vet ball rooms have character in all ages
Something in the lights, the crowd. the music,
conduces to stir up many of the thoughts that
belong to fancy and romance. 1t is melan-
cloly scene to me after certain age. 1t re-
wives many Of those lighter and more graceful
images connected with the wandering desires
Of youth shadows that crossed US, and seem.
ed love, bot were not, having much of the
grace and charm, but none Of the passion and
the tragedy Of love. So many of our earliest
and gen.lest recollections are connected with
those chalken floors, and that music painfully
gay, and those quiet hooks and cornels, where
The talk that hovers around the heart and does
not touch it has been held. Apart and un-
sympa,hisingfn the austerer wisdom which
comes to 10 after deep passions have been ex-
cited we see form after form chasing the but
serfies that dazzle US no longer among the
flowers that have eveymore lost their fra
GRANGE.
Somehow or other, it is one Of the scenes
that remind u most forcibly Of the loss Of
youth We are brought SO closely in contact
with the young and short-lived vanities that
once pleased Us, and have forfeited all bloom.
Happy the man who turns from the " .inkling
cymbal' and "the gallery Of pictures,'' and
can think Of some kind heart at home. But
those who have no home (and they are nu-
merous tri be) never feel lonelier hermits, or
sadder moralis,s than in such crowd.

fair coun,enance showed itself, under lowly
roof OF in lofty castle. by the song of mourn

consolation and Joy. She was still the swan
Of whiteness; freshness, slenderness and grace.
and the happiness Of her home was the living
