DOST THOU EYER SING 7

Fair maiden, dost thou eversing!
The simple ballad gave thee'
Let thy voice in gladness ring,
And sing that song once more for me.
Why il it that thy voice IL stilled 7
Hast thou, too, an aching heart!
And was there more than mine filed
With pain when you and I did part
never have nor will forget
The melody of thy swee', strain,
And often in my dreams, y pet,
seem to hear those song again
l hear, or seem to hear, the:lute
You twang, with love thu silken strings,
And when wake to find tis mute,
That wakening naught bit sorrow brings.
Then wonder naught that am sad,
Since have met maid so fair,
Whose matchless beauty drove me Ynad,
Whose love I've learned but to despair.
Thy voice, fair maiden, once so SWEET,
Sings naught of love, for now tbs s'tilled;
But though we ne er again should meet,
My soul with thoughts of thce'll ee filled
Sing once again as of the past,
As you, fair, one, was won't to do;
Sing of heart that you have cast
Aside but still was true to you.
Sing Of hearts now cast asunller,
And let thy voice be full and strong;
And all the world will stop to wonder
At the sweetness of thy song.

"Oh, Karl, Karl, how comest thou

"Oh, Karl, Karl, how comest thou
hitherto in such company7" exclaimed
Malchen, as she tore off her apron to
staunch his wound.
"Mein Gott, it was for thee ~ sniv:
eled the unhappy Karl. "These men
are my friends; we had all come for .
lark and meant to carry thee off; for |
hoped that thy too-obstinate father
would consent Of necessityto our mar
riage. Oh, oh, my ear"
"Peace, Karl; but oh, how foolish
of thee!" sighed Malchen. ''How
could'st thou think that nine men
were required to carry me off,"
"Mein Gott. l thought thou vast
romantic" was all that Karl could
say between two squeaks caused by
the anguish in his ear.
One is sorry to say that the tribu-
nails of Bavaria took on6-eyed view
of the affair and wanted to sentence
Karl for burglary, but the attitude of
poor Malchen had been so heroical
that King Louis II sent for her to
Munich, and after having decorated
her with the Cross Of Civil Merit,
asked her what he could do to please
her.
''Pardon my Karl, and give him
dover to marry me-" prayed the faith
full maiden, sobbing.
His Majesty pulled slightly wry
face at mention of dover, but cour-
tiers were present, so he gave his
royal promise. "rhou wouldst marry
a man with one ear, then 2" added
he, laughing.
"Sire, he lost the other for me" re-
sponded Malchen, drying her eyes.
"Well, this is a queer story" said
the king, amused. 1--WE will have il
made into a libretto, and my friend
Wagner here shall set it to music"
The composer of the future bent his
head, as if the happy thought had al
ready occurred to him.
