That Waltz of Won gseLor's.

Gavly and Sayly rang the gay music
The b 1.-THE merry mIisir OF harp and of horn.
The mad merry music. that set us a-dancing
TIL over the midnight came stealing the morn.
Down the great hall went waving the banners,
Waving and waving their red, white and blue,
A. the sweet summer wind came blowing and
blowing
From the cily's great gardens asleep in the dew
Under the flags. as they tioated and doaed,
Under the arches and arches OF flowers,
We two and We two laatri ana lloatcd
Into the mystical midnight hours.
And lust rs the dawn came stealing and stealing.
The last OF those wild Weber waltzeS began.
| can hear the soft notes now appealing and
pleading,
And | catch the FAINT scent of the sandalwood
fan
That lay in yonr hand, in your hand on my
shoulder.
iii under the flags and under the arches,
We danced and we danced TIL the dawn of the
day.
But why should l dream DER this dreary old
ledger,
In this counting room down in this dingy old
street,
OF that night or that morning, Just there at the
dawning,
When our hearts beat in time to our tast-hyng
feet?
What is that brings me that scent of enchant-
ment.
- fragrant and fresh from out the dead years
That lust for a moment ia swear that the music
Oh Neber'S wild waltzes was stjll in my ears :.
What Is it, indeed in this dusty old alley,
hat brings Inc that night or that morning in
June:
What Is it, indeed?-I laugh to confess it
A hand-organ grinding creeking old tune.
But somewhere or other caught in the measure
The waltz of Won Weber'S and back it all came,
That night on that morning, just there at the
daWning,
When danced the last dance with my first and
last flame.
My first and my last! but who would believe
me
If, down in this dusty old alley to-day.
TNIXt the talk about cotton, the markets and
money.
| should suddenly turn in some moment and
say
That one memory only had left me a lonely
And gray-hearded bachelor dreaming in james.

after he had bought few shovals, plows,

urbine clerk, as he mopped off the marble
counter with the same towel he used a
moment before to remove the honest
sweat from his brow

the deacon's eyelid went back on him and
dropped quickly.)
