o. treasured for aye be the bright fances that play
Round the time-fettered soul in this pilgrimage
drear,
And bless while they hower-strew the paths of its
way
To cline that is fairer than God gives us here.
Oft in fancy wander TO those Eden-like bowers,
Where pleasure lies carelessly smiling at fame;
Gazing out on the rush of the swift-winged hours,
As they speed like bolt on its pathway of fame;
And have followed each one awhile in its flight
With look as Of sadness, and sigh OF regret
As We mourn for a star that steals out of the night
Though another as beautiful shines where it set.
And now, that my young days are gone, and their
once gushing springs
Are as dry the sorrow that knows not tear,
In fancy hear the good angel that sings
OF day that is brighter than dawns for US here.
Then aoit at his call have my wild fancies roved,
Ever seeking that home of the soul and of bliss,
Where we gather again the dear friends so beloved,
In the land they have fed to when faded from this
And hence evermore will l seek the enchant men
that dwells
In sun-pictured fancies, and heralds the birth
OF visions oelestial-unchaining times spells,
And soaring, on gOssamsr wings, away from the
earth.
o! there are bright fsncies here, but the raptures
above
Are the rejoicings of loved ones that meet in the
skies,
And the music they echo are murmurs of love,
And the lights that fash round them. the beams
from their eyes
Tho we breathe not their songs, and may not
their dance
On this rude floor of earth, without nectar wine,
Yet much is still ours for we have all the bright
glance
From soft-beaming eyes, with love divine.

recalls Joke perpetrated on his firm in 1886.
A musician named Carafa, who was always
"broke," went to borrow money from Rossini,
who was frequently in the same plight. The
composer said: Pm sorry / can't lend you
any money, but I'll write some music
for you, and if you will take it to
Brandus he'll give you some m oney for
it." Carafa gladly accepted the PROPOSE
ton, and in a wonderfully short time Ros
SIM had filed several pages with notes. The
piece he entitled Sweet Memories of DAfri-
came by Rossini." Carafa hurried TO the
Rue Richeleu to lay it before Brandus, who,
on seeing the manuscript, was surprised, for
Rossini and Meyerbeer. composer OF ''L'Afri-
eaine," were bitter enemies The publishers
Joy over receiving an improvisation on "LAfri-
came" from such a source was great, for the
composition would be of having a large
sale, and he gladly paid the impeounious
Carafa the sum of 1000 francs. Soon after
Carafa had left with the money and the pub
fishers excitement over the purchase had
cooled, it occurred to him TO try the music.
He found it a series OF vilely diseordant com
binatons, a certain amount of fiendish ingenuity
having been exerted in producing the hideous
ensemble. These were RossinTs sweet
"reminiscences" of his enemy, Meyerbeers,
"LAfricaine." Brandus never sought to
cover the 1000 francs, He preferred 10 lose
them rather than have Rossini's joke get
abroad.

next morning he was aroused by the dis

up from the bed, threw open the window
and looked out Above cloud of dust
he could see the CLINT OF sunshine on steel.
Louder and louder grew the music and
the tramp of feet, and nearer came the
soldiers.
Then a sudden idea struck him. What
