a Beautiful Scotch Ballad,

Do you think of the days that arc gono,
Jeannic,
As yc sit by your fire at night?
Do you wish that the morn would bring
back the time
When your heart and your step were so
lisht7
think of the days that arc gone, Robin,
And of all that joyed in then
But the brightest that ever rose on me,
haze never wished back again
Do you think of the hopes that are gone
Jeannic
AS yc sit by your fire at night?
Do you gather them up as they faded fast
Like buds with an early blight?
think of the hopes That are gone, Robin.
And | mourn not their stay was ST. ileet
For they fell as the leaves of the red rose
fall,
And were even in falling sweet,
Do YOU think of tic friends that are gons
| JEANNE,
As ye sit by your fire at night?
Do you wish they were round you astsl
| once more,
BY the hearth that they made So bri ght
| think of the friends that are gone, Robin
They are dear to my heart as then
But the best and the dearest among them al
| have never wished back again

convince her that her laithless spouse was a
constant and welcome visitor ct the house
across the way, whose reputation was not at

raj reward, she induced n daguerrean artist
to remove his apparatus TO her room, and to
follow her directions without asking qucs-

might be called upon to dagucrrcotvpc, the
artist prepared to obey her commands. She
ordered hir to p'.pc his instrument SO as to
command the front door of the housa oppo-
site, aud to be prepared to take an impress

requested, and for many long hours, two
anxious faces might have been seen pccring
from the window, and the artists camera
pointing grimly and rclentlcssly at the door
of the opposite house.
