The Dance Of Death.

Grim death at any time orplace
is an un" elcome visitor, but moro
especially when he stalks among
scenes where only the sound of
music and tho laugh of pleasure
should be heard. A dance was in
progress last evoning at Id Au.
gusta st., a plaoo whore Teutons
most do congrogato to enjoy the
pleasures which combination Of
lager and music will voughsafe.
a largo party was present at an
ear!y'hour and at 8 o'clock tho
band struck up a lively waltz
Away wont tho dancers, tripping
tho light fantastic toe to inspiring
music, and no ono dreamed of an
ill-wind, whom suddenly woman's
shriok rose high above tho sound
Of tho carnival. Almost simulta-
neons'y the body Of man fol!
heavily on tho floor, forming Il
barrier to tho dancers, several of
whom fell headlong ovor.tho pros
trato form. Many thought it
was only n slip, but when the man
continued to lie motionless the
crowd gathered about him, and
an investigation disclosed the
startling fact TINT the person was
dead. The deceased was Il young
man about rs years Of aye, namod
Albert Craft. Among his friends
tho impression had prevailed for
some timo past thut ho WAS afllic-
ted with heart disease, and he had
been counselled not to enter into
tostivitivos calculated to ongondor
excitement. But young blood is
needless. Bcing fond Of dancing
he entered heartily into tho festiv-
tiles of tho occasion. About 8
o'clock he chose partner for n
waltz, and it was tho scream fore
ed from his companion when she
discovered tho faco that looked
into hers suddenly grow rigid in
death. that first attracted the at
tention of the assembIago TO tho
sad occurrence. Dr. Frcycr was
Instantly called, and pronounced
life extinct. Tho cause Of death
he alleged to have boon heart d.
scase. The parents Of tho deceased
reside at 1876 Cornell street, to
which place tho body was subsc-
quently removed. Coroner Clca-
yer has boon notified and will
hold an inquest over tho ), aims
this morning. 1t is perhaps need
loss to say that after this occur
renee tho music and dance lost
their sweet flavor, and among the
ladies thcrc cnsued panic that
nothing but absence from the
sccne Of death could qnict.-
Trombone, fiddle and horn were
quietly packed in their boxes, and
shortly the hall was given over to
the gloom which death and dark
ness usually inspire.

A. WOman,S Dreams.

Sho sat alone In tho moonlight,
hor beautiful cheek resting upon
her hand, 80 soft and white and
dimpled. You could tell, as you
looked at her, that hor thoughts
wore far away, and that she was
thinking Of. something beautiful.
Hor eyes Wore, wistful; her lips
were softly pressed together; tho
dimples in5hel'' cheeks had dicd
out, and only the ;dimple' IN her
chin /, remained, that little rosy
cloft, the impress of Love's finger.
She was. loss glowing than at
times, but mono tho less lovely. l
thought to myself, as l looked at
her, that she was nearer heaven
than we coascr mortals, and 1
longed to know whittier hdr pure
heart turned itself. I approached
her: she did not hear me. Ispolze;
she did not answer. I touched
her softly on tho arm; sho looked
up and smiled, a far-away smile,
such rs an angel might have giY7
en-.
"You arc thinking worry intent-
ly," I said.
She answered. "Yes," in n sub
dued tone Of voice as though
that which was on her MUD was
too holy for discussion. But
persisted.
"Will you tell mo what your
thoughts were :" asked. ..
She shook her head. "You
could not understand" sho said.
81 could try" I said humbIy
"I am coarse and rude, l know
but could strive to comprehend"
Sho smiled swcotly, but still
with that far-away look in hcl
dark eyes.
"No, not coarse" she said. "bu,
you arc n man. It is so different
with men were you woman
you would understand it at once.
Now perhaps, you may smile,
may laugh at me-"
"Believe mo, no." I whispered
1T adore the beautiful, the true,
the pure. Let mo know your
sweet thoughts"
