This lovc!y song, admired the world
over for the beautiful simplicity OF us
words, its easy flowing and expressive
melody, has lately received an additional
impetus to its popu lnrity by the following
incident said to have occurred III Mary
land:
A small select company had assembled
in pleasant parlor, and were gaiiy chat
ting und laughing, when 4 tall young
man entered, whose peculiar face and air
instantly arrested attention He was
very pale, with that clear vivid complex
ion W hic!i darl, haired consumptivcs so
often have. His locks were as black Is
jet and hung protusc upon a square
white collar. His eyes were large and
spiritual, and his brow such a one as
wandering look, a causual observer would
have pronounced him ii man OF uncom-
mon intellectual powers The words
"poor fellow" AMI - how sad he looks,
went the rounds as he came forward,
bowed to the company and took his seat.
One or two thoughtless girls laughed and
whisp red that he was I" love cracked"
but the rest treated him with respectful
Difference.
L, was late in the evening when sing
ing was proposed, and 70 ask hun 10 sing
" Annie Laurie" was "a task OF uncom-
mon delicacy. One sopg after another
was sung, and at last this one was named.
At its mention the young man grew
deadly pale, but did not speak he seem
ed 10 be instantly lost in revere,
The name of the girl who treated
him so was Annie" said lady whisper
ing to new guest-'' Oh l wish he
would sing it, no body else can do 1t JUS
tice."
"No one dare sing Annie Laurie be-
fore you, Charles" said an elderly lady;
.s would it be too much to ask you to ia
vor tho company with il" she added
timidIy
He did not reply for 4 moment-his
lips quivered little, and then looking
up as if he was in a spiritual presence,
began Every sound was hushed-it
seemed rs if his voice were the voice OF
an angel The tones vibrated through
nerve, putsS ana ncarI anu Hlttuc ono
shiver with pathos Of his feeling; never
was heard melody in human voice like
th.t-so plaintive, so soulful, so tender
and earnest.
He sat with his head thrown back, his
ewes half closed-the locks of his hair
glistcned agairst his pale temples, his
hands lightly folded before him; and as
he sang through the following stanzas lie
seemed to shake from head TO foo, with
heart-rending emotioni
Maxweltou braes are bonny,
Where early fi's the dew;
And twas there that Annie Laurie
Glod :ne her promise true.
Gaed me her prumiSe true,
Which ne'er forgot will be,
And for bonny Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dec.
H.r brow Is like the snaw-drift,
Her throat is like the swan,
Her features are the fairest
That e'er the sun shoue on
Tna. e'er the suu shOue on,
And dark blue is her &c,
And for bonny Annie Laurie
IL lay ms down and dee.
Like dew on the gowan lying
Il the "a % her fairy feet,
And like winds in summer signing
Her voice II low and sweet
Her voice is low and sweet
