THE SILENT TRYsT.
BY MARGARET W. PRESTON.

Now tAat you are in Florence, go
To San Lorenzo. The church, on know,
Holds NIicheel's miracle carved in stone
The brOoding figure that, under the shade
OF its monk-like cOwl, severe and lone,
Watches you till you grow afraid
IL may step from its niche and ask you why
You dare intrude with a curious eye
Thus on its dusk domain of thought.
Study the mystery there inwrought,
For the realm of art think, will fail
To show you greater. Gaze your I'LL,
Search for the secret il you will,
Until you have gotten behind the veil
or the pSlpable marble. None the less
Phat what is the wlzardry of the spell,
Angeles self alone could tell.
But ether than this is the reason why
point you to San Lorenzo. Nigh
To its m0ss-grown court is q cloister wall.
Enter, and climt its stony stair,
Ard the guide wall show, for a single paul,
The great Laurentian treasures There,
{Nid luminous mfssals, musk-enrolled,
And antique Psalters that gleam with gold,
And manuscripts crusted with such gems
AS smother in Eadian diadems),
In q vellum tome, shut face to face.
Is pair of portraits, pray you seek:
Laura, the ius1Te on her cheek
Like Provence rose in its fadeleSS grace,
And Petrarch, fresh as he walked the street
That morn in Avignon. there to meet
His fate in the thrall of that random glance
That held him captive evermore.
What matter the lady looked askance
In the far forgotten days of yore,
W lille mere, JnOuHn the ages, DToW 10 DTOW
And lip to lip, as you see them now,
These lovers IN dreaming trance have lain2
II not fn the flesh one clear blue vein
Had throbbed to his touch, If he did hot dare
Finger strand of her fiossy hair.
How Time has avenged him! Here to lie,
While ever the worlds unquiet life
Swept endless trouble and change and strife
To lie in such calm, his cheek close pressed
To teE1ples whose flush can never die,
Her lOOSened treSses across his breast,
That shall not bleach as the years go by!
i wonder, when marvellous Tuscan nights
Are a. thrill with a thousand toned delights
When the sensitive silence feels the bliss,
As the sky Stoops over the earth with kiss
wonder if such a witchery shed
DeePSns on Laura's cheek the red?
j wOnder if then a whisper stirs
Those,celtury muflied lips of hers?
or II, aSty0u turn to the pictured face,
hethefa start would show its trace,
AS II will ~ one unaware lntrude
On the tryst of a lovers solitude?
Well this we know: she has need no more
To ask the question she asked OfyOre-
art thou tired OF loving, Petrarch?" Nay,
For here thes are welded in faith so true
That for centuries yet, as for centuries through
Not even its shadow shall pass away.

ATTEMPTED SuicrpE.-Mfaud Stanley has
for some time past been one OF the most
notorious members OF the detni monde in

town who persuaded her to go and live

well with the twain, but Of late they have
