LOST LIGHT.
nr rLoRrScE PERCY.

My heart Is chilled and my pulse is slow,
But often and often will memory 20,
Like blind child Lost in waste OF snow,
Back to the days when loved you so
The beautiful long ago.
ait here dreaming them through and through,
The blissful moments shared with you
The sweet, sweet days when our love was new
When was trustful and you were true,
Beautiful days, hut few.
Blcst or wretched, fettered or free,
Why should care how your illc may be,
Or whether you wander by land or sea-
only know you are dead TO me,
Ever and hopelessly.
Oh. how often, at days decline,
pushed from the window the cur,ainins vino,
To see from your window the lamplght shine
Type OF n message that, half divine,
Flashed fron your heart to mine.
Once more the starlish Is silvering ALT
The roses sleep by the garden wall
The night.blrd warbles his madrigali
And I hear again through the sweet air fall
The evening bugle-call
but summers will vanish and years will wanc,
And bring no light TO your window pane
Nor gracious sunshine, nor patient rain,
Can bring dead love back to life again,
I call up the past in vain.
My heart Is heavy, my heart Is old,
And that proves drOss which counted as gold
watch no longer your curtains fold,
The window Is dark and the night is cold,
And the story forever told

THE AMATEUR B0ATMAN;
OR, HOW WON MY BET.

My thoughts were just then turned upon
n bet hal made. aud which had happened
rather oddly. II was between six Of US
Ned Darwell, Wood, Lucas and one Of his
cousins, Andrews, and myself. And he who
shook hands FIRST with certain young lady
was to win the stakes. Ned called my at
tention to her as we were walking in the
Rose Gardens, listening to the music.
"By Jovc." he said, nippins my arm,
"there's jolly girl"
She had very dark hair and eyes, which
were rendered the moro attractive by u be-
witching little mauve hat. with white veil
tied behind in bow. She was rather tall
and slight, bu: very graceful and her little
feet as they peeped out every now and then
from under her muslin dress-ior the grass
was rather damp, and the dress had to be
held up-scemcd perfection. She was ac-
companied by an old, soldicrly-loOking gen.
tleman, and young fellow of about twen-
ty two or twenty.three years Of age was
walking by her other side.
"Who is she?" | asked.
al don't know" answered Ned. "Some
new importation. Halo hero's Lucas; he
is sure to know. Isay, Lucas, my boy, who
is that dark girl with the hat?"
"0h! hang tho girl with the rum-shaped
hat! She's Lcti,ia Turner. Everybody
knows her ugly phiz."
"No; the one with the mauve hat and
white veil. There, man alive, can'tyou see?
There, just turning round at the end Of the
walk. Do you sec her now?"
..Don't know her at ALL" said the other.
"Do you, John?" he asked, turning to his
cousin.
"Never saw her BEFORE" said the cousin.
"But she's awfully SWELL"
Then Wood and Andrews strolled up.
They asked us the very question we were go
ing 10 ask them SO we discovered that the
young lady was perfect stranger to us all.
whcreupon Lucas undertook to rout her out,
as he called it, and tell US.
al say, Lucas" said Ned, who was rather
Jealous Of the ascendancy Lucas had gained
over Us in the honor Of finding out and be-
coming acquainted with different young la
dies, an bet you anything you like that Ill
shake hands with her before you will. There,
Lucas, my boy, there's a fair bet for you."
"Donc," cried Lucas.
Thcu Wood chimed in
$50 will l, that I'll shake hands before
either Of you."
And then the rest came forward, each will
ing TO make the same offer.

that l was thinking when old Dan, the boat
man, spoke to me.
