THE KNIGHTS TOAST.

The feast is Ger Now brimming wine
In golden cup is seen to shine
Before the eager guest;
And silence fills the crowded hall,
As deep as when the herald's call
Thrills In the loyal breast
Then up arose the noble host,
And smiling said, my lords a toast!
To all our ladies fair
Here, before all, pledge the name
ofStanton' proud and beauteous dame
The Ladye Gundemere!
Then to his feet each gallant sprung,
And Joyous was the shout that rung
III As Stanley gave the word =
And every cup was raised on high,
Nor ceased the loud and gladsome cry,
Till Stanley's cry was heard.
+" Enough, enoagh.." he surfing said. ss,sisf-s
And lowly bent his naughty head,
That all may have their due,
NOW each IN turn must play his part,
And pledge the ladye OF his heart,
Like gallant knights and true p
Thsn. one by one, each guest sprung up,
Aud drained in turn the brmmng cup,
And named the loved ones name.
And each, as hand on high he raised,
His ladye's grace or beauty praised,
Her constaney and fame.
'Tis now st. Leor's turn to rise,
On him are fixed those countless eyes
A gallant knight is he
Enyied by some, admired by all,
Far-famed in ladye's bower and hall,
The flower of chivalry.
st. Leon raised his kindlng eye
And lifts the sparkling cup on high;
50 L drink to one,' he said,
"Whose image never may depart,
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory is dead.
To one whose love for me shall last,
When lighter passions long have past
So holy It's and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt.
Than any pledged by you"
Each guest upstarted at the word,
And laid hand upon his sword,
With fury flashing eye.
And Stanley said. We crave the name
Proud knight. of this most peerless dame
Whose love you count SO high"
St. Leon paused, as if he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood
Then lightly toanother
Then bent his noble head as though
To give that word the reverence due,

a Young officer of artillery of plebian birth,
asked lady of high rank to dance with him.
All the lady's blue blood flushed into her
face as she refused, with marked disdain.
Poor young officer For moment he must
have felt every inch democrat; for the con-

Emperor had seen the insult offered to his
