LADY BYRON'S ANSWER To LORD
BYRON'S ssFAREWELL''

Yes, farewell, farewell forever?
Thou thyself hast fixed our doom,
Bade hopes fair blossoms wither.
Ne'er again for me to bloom.
Unforgiving thou hast called me-
Did'st thou ever say .forgire?
For the wretch whose wiles begulled thee,
Thou alone did'st seem to live.
Short the space which time has given
To complete thy loves decay:
BY unhalowcd passion riyen,
Soon thy heart was taught to stray.
Lived for me that feeling tender
Which thy rerseso well can show,
From my arms why did'st thou wander?
My endcarments why forgo?
oh. too late thy breast was barred:
Oh, TO me too soon twas shown.
That thy love l once had shared.
And already it had iiown.
Wrapt in dreams ofjoy abiding
On thy breast my head hath lain,
In thy love and truth confding,
Bliss ne'er shall know again.
That dark hour did first discover
In thy soul the hidoous stain
would these eyes had closed forever,
Meier to weep thy crimes again.
But the jmpious wish, o: Heaven,
From the record blotted be;
Yes, | yet would live, O, Byron.
For the babe I've borne for thee,
In whose lovely features (lct me
All my weakness here confess
While the struggling tears permit me-
All the fathers can trace
He whose image never leaves me.
lie whose immage siill prize,
Who this bit;erest feeling gives me,
still l love where despise.
With regret and sorrow rather,
When our child's first accents flow.
will teach her to say Father,
But his guilt she ne'cr shall know.
Whilst tomorrow and tomorrow
Wakes me from a widowed bed.
In another's arms no sorrow
wilt thou feel, no tears will she'd.
the worlds approval sought not
When tore myself from thee:
Ofits praise or blame thought not
What ispraise or blame to me:
He so prized-so loved-adored,
From my heart my image drove,
On my head contempt has poured,
And preferred u wanton's love.
Thou art proud; but mark me, Byron,
I've heart proud as thy own;
Son to love, but hard as iron
When contempt is DER it thrown.
But farewell-rli not upbraid thee,
Never. never wish the ill:
Wretched though thy crimes have made IN,
II thou can'st. be happy still.

you refuse, you need expect nothing
more from me. And what will yon
do then in this big city, without
friends and without means. Heaven
only knows Besides, / shall ex-
pect you to pay me before you leave
my house"
With these words he left the room.
Henri remained for while, seated at
the window, considering what course
to pursue in his extremity; then he
rose and went to a restaurant, where
he was in the habit of getting his
dinner. Arrived there, he took a
seat at a table at which two elegant
ly dressed gentlemen were already
seated, and ordered some roast beef
and a salad, which was all the small
coins that still remained to him would
pay for. The beef he found entirely,
to his liking; the salad on the contra
ry, he pushed aside as absolutely un-
fit to be eaten.
Meantime, three more fashionable
young men of the world had seated
themselves at the table They smiled
as he pushed the salad, and nodded
assent as be said:
What an G5Ominable mess they
give you here under the name ST sal
ad With US, in France, a salad is
a very different sort of thing"
Then you are a Frenchman, sir 2"
asked one of the gentlemen, in
courtly tone. as it true that your
countrymen are the adopts | have
heard they are in the dressing of sal.

''That is one of the arts in which
they are certainly proficient" replied
the Frenchman.
But the secret is, of course, not
known to every one; it is probably
only in the hands of professional
cooks and epicures 7"
"Not at all, " replied Henri; every
child with us knows how to dress a
salad fit for king. True, ou" petit
crepe is a very differen. sort of
vegetable from the bitter lettuce that
grows in England.
81 fear you do our gardeners injus-
.ice ; the lettuce they raise is good
enough, it only requires to be proper
ly dressed"
The discussion was continued at
some length, when one of the Eng
lishmen to turned D'albignac, and
asked ifhe would notunder taxa to
prepared salad there and then after
the French manner.
Certainly. why not ?" replied
Henri, whercupon the waiter was
called, anb all the necessary ingredi-
cnts were Immediately ordered for
the dressing of salad la FraGcaise.
Then the young nobleman went to
work, answering meantime, the ques-
tons Of the Englishmen with regard
to his country AID his impressions
of theirs. Aud thus it came that he
told his interlocutors his own story
that he was an emigre had exhaust
all his means. and was at loss to
know what to do or which way to
turn.

nouuced Republican had been appointed in his
place. but regard to tho other appointments, II Mayor
Vance had been play ing with Mayoreect Wckham. he
