T HE SIN LIE WIN
BY GEORGE ARNOLD.

Far into the soft, summer night I sat
with little Susie Naseby, on the piazza of
the Belle Lake Pavilion. Our talk had
not a powerful smack of sentiment. though
the moonlight on the water, low signing
breeze from the South, vague cadences OF
distant singing from a yacht on the lake,
and the secluSion Of our vine-embowered
corner. all combined to lend an air of ro-
nance TO the interview But Susie and
never firted with each other, whatever
we might do with some We had, IN the
course of long acquaintanceship, estab-
lished a delightful and unusual relation-a
sort Of fraternal and Platonic sentiment
quite chivalrous, quite harmless, quite nov
Ell, and altogether charming. So well was
this understood, that good Mrs. Naseby
felt not the least anxiety on leaving her
daughter in my hands, only bringing out a
thick shawl to wrap up Baby Buntin in, -
and leaving Us with a parting Injunction
not to 60 out on the wet grass.
Gossiping away like couple of katy
dds, about everything and verybody, we
came to speak of a certain Charles Selwin,
young gentleman of fortune, then So
journing at the Pavilion. For reasons that

A DAY DREAM
CT WILLIAM CULLIN BRYANT.


A day dream by the dark blue deep;
Was it dream, or something more7
sat where Posilipo's steep,
With its gray shelves o'erhung the shore.
On ruined Roman walls around
The poppy Haunted, for twas May;
And at my feet, with gentle sound,
Broke the light pillows of the bay.
I sat and watched the eternal flow
Of those smooth pillows toward the shore
While quivering lines of light below,
Ran with them on the ocean floor
Till, from the deep, there seemed to rise
White arms upon the waves outspread
Young faces, lit with soft blue eyes,
And smooth, round cheeks, just touched wit
red
Their long, fair tresses, tinged with gold,
Lay floating on the ocean streams,
And such their brows as bards behold,
Love-stricken bards in morning dreams.
Then moved their coral lips a strain
Low, sweet and sorrowful heard,
As if the murmurs of the main
We're shaped to syllable and word
''The sight thou dimly dost behold,
Oh, stranger, from distant sky
Was often. in the days of old,
Seen with clear, believing eye,
Then danced we on the wrinkled sand,
Sat in cool cayerns by the sea,
Or wandered up the bloomy land,
To walk with shepherds on the lea.
g To US. in storms, the seaman prayed,
And where our rustic affairs stood,
His little children came and laid
The fairest flowers of field and wood.
" Oh woe, a long unending woe
For who shall knit the ties again
That linked the sea-nymphs long ago,
In kindly fellowship with men?
:: Earth rears her flowers for US no more,
A halfremembered dream are we,
Unseen we haunt the sunny shore,
And swim, unmarked, the CLASSY sea.
- AND we nave none to love or and,
But wander, needless of mankind,
With shadows by the cloud-raek made,
With moaning wave and signing wind
Yet sometimes as in elder days,
We come before the painters eye,
Or fix the sculptor's eager gaze,
With no profancr witness nigh.
9 And then the words Of men grew warm
With praise aud wonder, asking where
The artist saw the perfect form
He copied forth in skies so fair"
As thus they spoke, with wavering sweep
Floated the graceful forms away;
DINNER and DINNER through the deep,
I saw the white arms gleam and play
Fainter and fainter on mine ear
Fell the soft accents of their speech,
Till I, at last, could only hear
The waves run muamuring up the beach

very strange things, and told me some
news frsm the other world which might or
might not have been true. Finally, when
he had got me pretty well interested, and
good deal surprised, he offered to pro-

took the money. and told me to call at the
end of month, when the portrait would
be ready for me. I did so, and found an
easle in the room, with picture upon it,
carefully covered up. Pollock made a
great todo, removing the drapery, and
when he had done, placed tie thing in
