Take hands and part with laughter,
Touch lips and part with tears
once more and no more alter
Whatever comes with years
We twain shall not rc-measure
The wavs that left MS tWalh'
Nor crush the ices OF pleasure
From sanguinc grapes OF pam.
We twain well once in sunder,
What Will the mad gods do
For hate Of me. | wonder,
Or what with love for you"
Forget them TIL November
And dream there's April yet
Forget that | remember,
And dream tlat forget
Time found our tired love sleeping,
And kissed away his breath
But whar should We do weeping,
Though light loves sleep 20 dealh
We have drained his lips at leisure,
Till there's uluEai left TO drain,
4 single sob of pleasure.
\ single pulse ci pain.
Dream that the lips once breathleSs
Might quicken II they would
Say tnat the SOU j. d1athless
Dream that TIE gods are good
Say March may wed September,
And time divorce regret;
Bat not that you remember,
Aud not that / forget.
We nave heard from hidden places
What love scarce lives and hears
We have seen on fervent faces
The paIlor of strange tears;
We have trod the vine-yat's treasure
Whence rise the steam and STAN,
=, af Fa1a
The blood-red must OF pain.
Remembrance may recover
And time brings back 10 time
The name OF your first lover,
The ring OF my first rhyme
But rose leaves Of December
The frosts of June shall fret.
The day tnat you remember,
TEe day tnat forget
The snake thst hides and Kisses
In heaven we twain have known
The grief Of cruel kisses,
The joy whose mouth makes moan
The pulses pause and measure
Where in one furtiye Vein
Throbs through the heart Of pleasure
The purple blood Of pain
We have done with tears and treasoas,
And love for treason's sake;
Room for the swift new seasons,
The years that burn and break
Dismnatle and dismember
Mems DAYS and dreams. JuiIet!e;
FOR love mly not remember
But time VIII not forget.
Life treais down In dying;
Time withers him al root;
Bring all dead things and dying,
RaanpI shPaf and ruined fruit.
Where. crushed by three days pressure,
Our three days love lies slain;
And early life of pleasure,
Aad later flower OF pain.
Breathe close upon the ashes

Unclose the soft-colorej lashes,
Lift up the lids and weep.
Light loves eXtlnguished eIpbcr
Let one tear leave II wet
Ter one that you remember
And ten that you forget.

 By the bye, speaking of Hyde park re- minds me of a rather curious scene enacted the other day. Mrs. Langtry and the Earl of Shrewsbury were observed in earnest conver sation. She was seated in her stylish landau
 on the door of which he leaned while he talk ed and smoked his cigarette, Suddenly he was seen to take out his check-book, and with pencil hastily filled out check, which he tore out and handed to her, with an ex- pression of face not the most pleasing to look at. She, as hastily put the check in her pocket, and, with that peculiar little nod of hers, drove away. The scene was wit messed by number of intimate friends of both parties, and one, more observant than the others, states that the check was for e1, GOO. When it is remembered-as is now but too well known-that the lady's husband at present finds it convenient to remain abroad on account of his wife's debts, the little episode is, perhaps, not startling as it otherwise might be. From certain stand point, however, seeing that Lord Shrewsbury is little more than boy of two and twenty, the thoughts that suggest themselves to re- aective mind are not of a kind to banish wonder that the lady should retain the posi- tion in society that she does, and be, as she is, welcome guest everywhere. I suppose it's all right. I dare say it's nobody's busi- ness, but people will think if they sdon't talk. But now that am on the subject of curious scenes, let me tell you of the queerest one of all, that happened at Lady Granville's reception last week. A large Persian cat was seen to creep stealthily into the drawing room and quietly ensconce herself beneath the ample skirts of an elderly duchess who. unsuspeetingly, stood talking to the French ambassador. The animal, which was great pet of Lady G's, was in that interesting con- dition so happily described by Byron-ex pect that we shall have to put it ''Tom' in- stead of "Lord.' Of course, the instant eviction of the intruder was determined up- on, and several servants noiselessly approach ed, while her ladyship quietly requested the ancient duchess to move her quarters. Alas it was too late In the short interim, Madame Pussy had given birth to fourishing litter of kittens, whose removal with the old cat was achieved amid continuous bursts of laughter from the assemblage.
