serensding.
Melody, love and romance! Last night,
when oil the world was supposed to be asleep,
strains borne upon tho wings Of night were
waited TO our ears. Not that We were the
recipients OF . bona 6ds sersnade, but, living
in the neighborhood Of youth and beauty,
truant strains not mean; for rs came steal
ing through the lattice, playing all sorts Of
pranks, actually making us young again
Old memories OF iassiehood came trooping
BY like so many pale speotrss, bearing upon
their spirit wings the days "long, long ago.
when we reignsd queen in our own right 10
the kingdom Of youth and romance, terri
tory in which every woman at one period Of
her life holds regal scepsre. The incense OF
aat.ery, the graceful compliment, however
acceptable, are soon forgotten; but . sere-
nade-a regular Spanish affair Woe to the
lady's heart thus beseiged! Amid the many
compliments which our sex receive from the
"lords OF creation We know OF none so
delicate, SO refined in its associations, as =
good serenade and might We not suggest in
our matroniy way to those young senors,
that IN earlier hour than the one chosen last
evening would seem more appropriate. Tho
hour winch preeedes the small hours 10 the
most proper - we'll as the most acceptable.
As We write, serenade Of the days OF
yore comes to our memory. The author Of
it we dare not tell you. How much it bad to do
with our hauling down the t'stars and stripes
Of freedom We leave the reader TO guess.
o wake, my beloved, the bright moon Is bsaning,
The stars sparkle out In their glAdness and gise;
Ocome TO the window, and leave on your dreaming,
And bend thy blue eyes in their beauty on me.

The whipporwill whistles his amorous song;
The katydid calls 10 his humorous maid;
And all the bright creatures Of fairy land throng
o'er the lawn and the meadow, the grove ami the
glade.
o, light Of my eyes all the world is awake
Ala the world that delights in the rapture OF
Then come, though some exquisite vission il break,
For the air Is All frsghted with bliss from above.
