THE FAsCINATlNc BOARDER.

In the miserable boarding where, morn

There burns no fire in my grate-Tve hardly any
light
BY which to write the articles my editor de-
mands
The only sunbeam shining in the darkness
comes at meals,
Where now and then see you'll don't even
Your lovely face nor gentle birth nor cleverness
reveals,
You're commonplace and vulgar, but love
you all the same.
You never look at MIN vain I strive to catch
your eye;
Your ever-arctic cOldness puts me in a hope
AS you daily with IN atrocity that's known to
us as pie
And keep your eyelids lowered till long to
be your plate.
I fsin would tell you Of the love you can not
will not, see,
And take you far from here-[where mutton
masquerades as camel
To somewhere where your food the fare OF gods
should ever be;
Where, commonplace and vulgar, / should
love you just the same.
Your hair, like golden ashes, shines, halo
round your head;
To see it fall unbound I'd gladly sacrifice my
life.
I'd never seem TO notice when you hdget with
your bread,
or let your spoon and fork lie, both neglected,
for your knife.
Nay!-if you put your elbows on the table, OF
talk loud
or glggle at your own remarks, IN swear
you're not TO blame.
II only you'd observe that erist I'd be so proud
For, commonplace and vulgar, oh love you
al the same.
Your eyes are exquisite but all their glance
ne'er answers mine,
Your lips turn coral rays OF crimson eCstaCy
supreme.
The flush upon your cheek-tis all your own,
just diCtHe,
And all Of you is fairer than the goddess OF 6
dream.
And though your voice is rough and coarse, Ii
sooner hear you speak
Than hear tn Eternal Echoes" ring will

count me weak

cunning to ever grow up.
1t was only three nights ago that
Mr.. Bowser took five dollars from his

The Straits to Which the GreaU Composer
Was Sometimes Reduced.
A passage or two from the life OF
Schumann, the eminent musician,
shows the straits to which he was
sometimes reduced for want of cash
during the time he was a struggling
student In a letter written to his
mother in November, 1880, he says:
For the last fortnight have not had
a farthing; l owe Week twenty thalers
and Lube thirty, and really live like a
dog. You say I had better borrow
one hundred thalers of somebody, but
who is to lend them to me? [ hardly
know soul, and those do know have
got as little as I have.
should like to have my hair cut, as it
is yard long, but haven't a copper to
do it with. For the last fortnight I
have been obliged to wear only white
neckties. as my black one is simply in
rags, and the white ones will be at an
end tomorrow, so / shall have to be
Old-fashiOned and do without. 1 ought
to send several letters to Heidelberg,
but have no money for the postage.

not send for the tuner, ETC., etc.

pistol to shoot myself. That is the
state am in. So do not take it amiss
if, in a despairing moment, / run right
away either to America or to my uncle
at liver, where cholera morbus is just
now raging, which might soon put an
end to the life and career of my
wretched self" Three months later
he was in debt at the restaurant for
dinners, and the unreasonable proprie-
tor wanted to be paid. Nay, he was
most rude in pressing for the money
(sixty or seventy thalers.) Week, also,
and a fellow-student were creditors by
moneylent, and the poor young man had
got into Elk" ''By Jove, it's quite
true when tell you that l have only
eaten meat about twice and lived upon
plain potatoes, and although l am very
fond of them, still it is getting too
much of a good thing" He had raised
money at his ''Uncle's." II have also
had to pawn your watch, and one book
after the other finds it's way to the
secondhand booksellers. You may
imagine how much I am losing. The
day before yesterday l went in despair
to Week and borrowed a thaler, and

veal, that's all! Poverty must be
horrible thing, because it absolutely
excludes one from human society,"
