DREAMLAND.

A mother watched her babe smile In its sleep,
And knew an snge, stood beside its bed:
So, turning smilingy around, she said:
.'ShouId we disturb il. it would wake to weep;
Wake not our darling: heaven to earth desccnds:
We have not always angel guests for friends"
A lovely girl reclining on a bank,
With buds and blossoms on her bosom, sank
In sinless sleep, aud dreamed of birds and
flowers
indigenous to brighter worlds than ours
Dream on, fair friend, not ior the tempting kiss
Would recall thee from the world OF bliss.
An old man sleeping in his garden chair
OF childhood dreams, or fields OF battle where
In manhoods vigor he had won name
That added luster TO his country's fame;
Why cali to consciousness the sleeping sage
O dreams, our waking life but little knows
How much to your supernal source ii owes;
In hours OF sleep ETHEREAL ladders lower,
Let softly down from heaven golden floor.
And noiselessly the shining stairways tread
The loved and lost We long had mourned as
dead.
And many prison in the hush of night
crows luminous with more than earthly light,
As angels glorious. but human still.
The silent vaults with heavenly music fill,
That melts the hardened conyicis heart TO tears
With tender visions OF the vanished years.
And many a morning owes its rosy hues
To distaa; dreamlaud's late dissolving views;
Our thoughts are brighter, bat We little know
Jus, how or whence they gained their finer
glow:
The heart grows peaceful, but its undertone
Is seldom traced TO worlds beyond our own.
And many a noble aspiration CLEANS
With uurememberet radiance OF dreams;
And many igh resolve may bud and start
To life and victory in the lonely heart
That never once suspects its midnight gloom
Was pierced by light from worlds beyond the
tomb.

morning of his death he sent for the

AT BROWNING'S HOME.
A Half Hour With the Son of
the Poet in Venice.
SOUVENIRS OF HIS PARENTS
A Fine Old Palace Full of Interesting
kelics-The Only Elevator in
the Gondola City.

VENICE, cE,Nov.7-TSpecial Correspondence
-Dreamily gliding along the Grand canal,
in Venice, from the busy Rialto up toward
the Doge's palace. one day not long since,
our thoughts were frequently arrested by
the volubility of our gondolier, Giorgio.
who quoted Tasso and repeated Byron In
fashion quite worthy of Ollendorf.
But Giorgio had long been famed among
tourists for his familiarity with these
celebrities and We craved silence or some
thing new-a fact which we pointedly
mentioned.
10 our astcnishment, in the twinkling
Of an eye. he began to recite Brownings
"Andrea del Sarto," SO rapidly that We
wen-ngh exploded with laughter. But
GIorglo was not to be disconnected by so
slight an outburst as this. and hastened
to inform us Immediately that he had
been the distinguished poets pet Condo
lier.
'Oh, but the signor was so good and
kind and spoke Italian so we'll! A fine
signor" and in his enthusiasm Giorgio
was making US fly across the canal-very
differently from his usual strokes.
There" pointed he with pride, sis the
palazzo where he lived, and here Giorgio
always waited until his padrone made sign
and then took him in ali the Gale and ril
the narrow streets-:hat forestieri never
know"
'And who lives there now?" we inter-
rupted.
''His filio, his son." and our ferryman
was about to enter into minute descrip-
ton of the younger Browning's many
virtues when we cut him short by saying
t1ot h. l.
Rezzonico is fine old palace bought
about six years ago by the Brownings for
about $4,000, and here it was that the
great poet died, in December, 1888; here
where he had hoped to have "corner for
his old age"
1t is one of the finest marble palaces
along the Grand canal--the Fifth avenue
of Nenice-and was built in the early part
Of the seventeenth century by family
whose most distinguished member was
Pope Clement NIIl.
AS we step from our gondola into the
corridor we notice that the rooms on the
ground floor are partially devoted rs a
playground for some ugly, long-eared
dachshunde, while the rest is used as
sort of carriage house for the gondolas,
gorgeous in black and gold with iuxuri-
ouSly tufted satin cushions and seats
Entering the elevator, probably the only
one in Venice, we are soon in the pres
ence of the most hospitable Englishman
it has been our lot to know-Robert
Barrett Browning who willingly as
sented to tell us something of his life as
well as show us some of the priced keep
sakes of his talented father and mother;
and then, before we took our leave, to
give us peep into his own studio, for the
only child of the Brownings must needs
be clever.
Robert Barrett Browning is about 43
years old and has an ease and dignity
of manner that comes of inherited refine
ment.
He is neither 50 tall nor so heavily built

Teacher, guide and friend"
"Mother it was who taught me TO read,

old, she used 10 give me three hours of her
time every day"

Guido in Florence, where | was born-yes,
and verses, too"
"Some lines which I wrote when was
5years old induced Ruskin to predict that
l was destined to be poet, an honor, how
ever, which | never attained.
Later, when father undertook my
serious education, he prepared me for
Christ Church college in Eng land. where
that splendid fellow Allen Thorndike Rice
and had lodgings together and aiterward
went up to Oxford for time.
my facility in the languages made my
father prefer diplomatic career for me,
but my deep love for painting and model
ing induced him to send me to Antwerp
and to Paris TO be thoroughly grounded
in the rudiments of a profession with
which l meant TO identify myself
"l studied under Sculptor Rhodin and
in the ateIier of Lawrence.
Now, that's all there is TO my life, !"
said Mr.. Browning, smilingly. except
that married an American, Miss Cod
dington, of New York, and for this and
other reasons am particularly fond Of all
Americans, and as you say that 1t would
please many persons over there TO know
of the keepsakes of my father and mother,
| shall be glad TO show you some"
We followed Mr.. Browning through a
sunny hallway into magnificent library
gorgeously decorated with some frescoes
of Phmbus' chariot, done by Tiepoio in the
seventeenth century and which are now
extremely rare.
Henry James said when he saw those
spirited horses: "Tiepolo must have tried
to manage a runaway team once, 10 have
so we'll portrayed that restiessness.
The library IS teeming with the men,
ories of a gifted circle. Here is pen and
ink drawing cleverly done by Dante Cab
riei Rossetti. of the young Tennyson, with
one leg comfortably tucked under the
other, reading Maude for the first time
to Mr.. ana Mrs. Browning. Underneath
in Mrs. Brownirlg's hand IS written the
following quotation:

highly refined people who lead the con-
versation away so that one almost forgets
that he has a hole in his sock which he
had forgotten.
The day was rainy, and hastily paying

All the way down met people who seemed
to recognize me by my well known features,
and 1t is indeed comfort to know that
one is known. l can see now why it is
that people commit the most hideous and
sickening crimes so that they NAV be
noted and recognized. At the art works
it was SO too. People got through their
business and still seemed reluctant about

please hurry up and paint my $500 picture,

he could, but seemed to be thinking of
something else all the time.
You have seen. tno doubt, a sad-faced
man walking slowly up and down Broad
way falsely laboring under the impression
that he was thinking. He wears, rain or
shine. a light rubber overcoat, on the back
of which is the sign of a well known
chiropodist and the figure of knObby
foot, with gladioluses growing on it.
Well. that was the coat had worn down

Delmonico's for his lunch.
