THEN AND NOW.

I met her at q ball some years ago
We spoke Of youth and friendship. Jcy ~
pleasures
However gentle she, I trembled 50.
For I Was shy and bashful in . measure.
She said to me she liked my sentiment,
She praised me evry time she had . chance to.
And when, As on, on dancing We were bent.
She asked me just what time I liked todance
to.
We're married now. and things have changed.
alas!
Each week q diTsent servant she engages
She sees mistakes that other wives would pass
And 80 the livelong day she fumes and rgeA
Thus quickly matrimonial woe I've foaRd,
For ev'ry chance to ind a fault she seizes.
Unlike the ball when first we met, I'm bound
II dance to whatsoever time shs pleases!

. short visit to Vienna, which was the

time, the home of three of the greatest
masters who ever lived, Mozart, Haydn
and Gluck. The elcctor gave him .
letter of recommendation to his brother
Joseph, the Emperor of Germany and
Archduke of Austria, which he was to
deliver to the Emperor himself.
So, not many days after his arrival In
Vienna, he dressed himself in his best
and started for the royal castle with the
letter in his pocket Although he had
overcome in some degree his dread Of
conversation with people in . higher
station of life than his own. still it was
not wi thout some feeling of trepidation
that he thought of meeting the mighty
ruler of the whole German Empire.
As he passed through the door which
led to the Einperor's apartments he
stopped a moment to consider what he
should say to his Majesty. Just then .

him, but the whole expression Of the
