SONG.

Oh once more string thy lute, Mary.
And sing to me those strains
Which breathe OF happy bygone days
In our bright sunny plains.
When culled the sweet wild flowers, Mary,
To Irvine Them in Thy hair,
Which fell in rn2ets on Thy brow,
So beautifully fair.
A light was in thy deep blue eyes
The light Of love and truth,
Aud not a shadow seemed to mar
The joyousness OF youth.
Those happy days base fled lo7 aye,
And on foreign shore
We fond'y speak Of early scene,
That meet our suZe more.
No more we greet those cherished friends
Who gathered mirhfully,
To join our sports al dayghls close,
Beneath the trysting tree.
But string again thy Lutte, Mary,
And lei thy song be gay,
For loving hearts spared US yet.
Affection lights our way.

Bachelors Hall.

Bachelors Hall what queer looking place
it is
Kape me from sich all the days of my life ;
Sure, but think, what burnin' disgrace it is
Never at all to be getting a wife.
See the old Bachelor, gloomy and sad enough,
Placing the taykittle over the fire,
enough,
Of lie were presentto fight with the squire
Now like hog in a mortar-Led wallowing,
awkward enough) see him kneading his
dough;
Troth if the bread he could ate without
swallowing
How it would favor his palate you know
His dishcloth is missing, the pigs are dcvour-
ing it,
In the pursuit he has battered his shin
A plate wanted washing, grimalkin is scour-
ing it,
Thunder and turf what a pickle he's in !
Pots, dishes and pans, such greasy commodi-
tics,
Ashes and prate- skins kiyer the floor;
His cupboard storehousc of comical oddi.
ties,
Things that had never been ncighbors be-
fore.
| His meal being the tables left sitting so
Dishes, take care of yourselves if you can
But hunger returns, then he's fuming anC
fretting so;
Och let him alone for baste of man
Late in the night then he goes to bed shiver
ing
n vcr The bit is the bed made at all
H. crecps like a fasrapin under the kiverin'-

gricftorn soul breathes out its woe
through his beloved instrument.
The bridegroom leads off the dance,
and Strauss, with fascinated fearful
eyes, and torn heart, follows the flying
pair in their giddy whirl. They dance,
and dance, and dance, and still they do
not cease. Strauss plays and plays
and no stop to his wonderful waltz
which so fearfully effects both him and
them. Sudden as lightning his L string
snaps, and at the same moment the
beautiful Sophie. falls dead upon the
floor. Violin and bow fall from his
trembling hands; with cry of horror
he shrieks "Sophie,'' and falls fainting
on the ground.
Since Sophie's death, the waltz is
called by her name Strauss loved hci
to the last moment of his existence
He too is dead but his charming waltz
still lives.

of her class-virtuous, discreet, orderly,
English children, an admirable mistress
of an English home. She was not a wo-
man who would see any romance in liai-
son, or anything interesting in seizure
Of furniture by the sheriff nor was she
a woman who would regard the glory of
the poet as a set-off against the faults of
the man; on the contrary she would con-
sider-and rightly consder-that the
possession of Extraordinary talents heigh-
tens the turpitude ofmoral delinquency.
Nine times during the year that Lord
and Lady Byron lived together the shcr
ifs officer seized their furniture for debt
1t was reported about town that his cx.
travagant lordship had married an heir
ess, and his marriage was the signal for
creditors to come upon him in swarm
irritating him, dismaying her. Lord
Byron's connection with Drury Lane
Theatre gave rise to variety of rumors
which, though probably ill-founded, were
not Of nature to be agreeble to the ears
of wife Moore hints that ceaseless
annoyances from impatient creditors
occasionally induced him to steep his
senses in the forgctfulness of revel. The
Countess Guiccioli confessed to a friend
of ours, many years after, that Byron
was a troublesome man to live with
His mood was more changcablc than the
wcather-melancholy, hilarious, pcevish
savage, all in day. and all without ap-
parent causc-and there was no knowing
how TO take him. All this, and perhaps
more, Lady Byron had to cndure--she
who had been all her life accustomed to
a state of things as different as can be
conceived She bore it, however, as far
as we know, without repinng; until
transferred to her own sphere again
she remarked the contrast an affection
ate and officious mamma" Mortified by
the tales her daughter brought of d" exc
cptlons,n and green-room amours-prob
ably persuaded her not to return. Byron
was aStounded at the news His pecun
iary difficulties had reached their utmost
and, to use his own language. the blow
came when he 'was standing alone on his
hearth, with his household gods shivercd
around him" With a noble candor, he
wrote, few days after. to Tom Moore
There never was better, or e7en j.;
brighter. a kinder. more amiabc or a
greeable being, than Lady Byron.
never had, nor can have, any reproach tC
make her while with me- Where ther'
is blame, it belongs to myself; and if
cannot redeem, | must bear it." Foi
many years Byron seems to have cherish
ed hope of reconciliation, but tn,
mother-in-law" was implacable to the
last, and the poet became an exile and :
wanderer, without home, and without
those virtues which home might hav,
fostered in his wayward bat naturally
noble character.

OXFORD PUNs DR.. Barton, warden
Of Merton College, was the oddity Of
his time. Of the puns belonging to
DR.. Barton, we believe that the follow
ing is little known As he was a man
of remarkable insensibility, people told
him everything that happened. A gen
tleman, coming one day into his room,
told him that DR. Vowel was dead.
What !" said he, Vowel dead thank
God it is neither IL nor l." DR. Eve
leigh, who was with his family some years
