A SONG.


Stag heyl for walk through the field to-day;
For run and jump on the cocks of hay,
Where the sturdy farmers their sicl1es WELD
And the dying grasses their perfume yield.
who can refuse when I've thus appealed?
Sing hey! for the fragrant harvest field.
Sing hey for q stroll through the woods to-day;
Where the rabbits and the squirrels with the
shadows play,
Where the fern-fronds tall and the wild-fowers
small
And the murmuring leaves above them all,
Are bright with the colors Of the early fall,
And the brown quail answers its mates sweet
call
Sing hey! for the woods by the old stone wall
Sing hey! for climb up the hill day
Where the warm brown earth is replaced by
clay,
OF which We made images long ago,
And carried them carefully down below,
To bake in the oven dntended Tor dough;
They were always thrown out, to our infinite
woe).
sing hey up the hill is the way 10 60
Sing hey. for the field and the hill and the
wood,
The horizons sight; and the life is good
Whose perfume comes not from silk sachet,
But from waving and opu,ent fields of hay;
Whose music is not the trumpets bray,
But the morning birds tremuloLs roundelay:
Where mankind reverses not night and day;
Where it's tiresoulc to labor and restful TO play
For the meadows and hilltop and woodland,
sing hey!

kenness of their eyes and fin gers" the
marquis replied, with slightly amused
smile at the eager looks of the circle of
auditors. But still, did bring back
trifie, which perhaps you will allow
me to show you. My valet is in the
anteroom, as I could not well intrust
it to other hands, and perhaps your
majesty will give permission for him
to enter here
With an incredulous look, which was
reflected on the faces of her court the
empress gave the required order, and
as Alphonse entered with Fidele in his
arms she could not suppress laugh, in
which her whole circle joined.
What a pretty little dog!' she ex-
claimed But it scarcely comes under
the head of contraband, and if this is
the only thing you have brought from
Paris l am afraid you have lost your
wager and my diamond ring is safe.''
The marquis did not look discon-
certed, but taking Fidele from the arms
OF Alphonse, he placed it on the ground.
Now, Fidele, good dog, make your
bow to her majesty" and in the most
absurd way the dog kept nodding its
head several, times in succession.
''Now, Fidele, die" said the marquis,
putting his hand on the dogs curly
head Fidele wagged his tail, gave
hoarse bark, and in another moment,
to the surprise and horror of the as

There was an involuntary scream
from the ladies, and even the empress
cried out: 'Oh what is that?" as the
marquis, bending down over the head
less body of Fidele, quietly drew forth
from the opening at the neck long
white roll OF lace. Unfolding it care
fully, he held up to the astonished gaze
of those present an exquisite dress of
the far-famed Chantilly lace. so finely
wrought as to be almost priceless A
murmur of admiration was heard from
all Gracefully kneeling before the
empress, the marquis presented the
lace.
"Will your majesty pardon my pre-
sumption and kindly deign to accept
this souvenir from Paris?"
How very beautiful it isl the en-
press exclaimed, taking the delicate
fabric in her hand. 'It is truly mag
nificent souvenir Rise, NJ. de Marquis;
you have indeed fulfilled your word and
fairly won the wager l herewith ac-
knowledge myself defeated" she added,
playfully; and, taking the diamond ring
from her finger, she placed it in the
am mbassador's hand.
Il will not part with it but with my
life," was the gallant Frenchman's an
swer, as he rose to his feet and put the
ring on his finger.
This is indeed wonderful dog"
said the empress. turning to Fidele Il
certainly never saw anything more true
10 life, and ] must give you credit for
the clever way in which you eluded the
vigilance of my officers"
Fidele now became an object OF
great interest, and its head being re-
placed, it had to go through its various
accomplishments of barking. nodding
its head and wagging it's tail, all of
which, owing to the ingenious mech
anism concealed in its head, it per-
formed to perfection. 1t was not sur
prising that it had escaped detection at

Here he conesw or led one of the
men, jumping from his warm seat The
rest quickly followed, and as the am
bassador's cov>red sledge with its four
horses drew III light it was surrounded
by the band a. officers.
Respectfully touching his cap, the
head man accosted the marquis and
apologized for the intrusion, but he had
received orders to examine the carriage
effects of his excellency, and must
trouble him to alight while the search
was being made.
The marquis, who was luxuriously
reclining in the warm folds of a mag
nitcent black-fox cloak, reused him
self at the words and replied that there
was no occasion to apologize.
"Alphonse," he called, as his valet
came to the door of the sledge, take
care of Fidele, and see that the poor
little thing does not catch cold coming
out into this frosty air."
The marquis then stepped out and
fastened into the custom house, fol-
lowed by Alphonse, who had carefully
wrapped 4 rug around the French
poodle. The poor beast, who had been
snugly seated on pile of warm furs,
evidently disliked being disturbed, for
1t give vent to it's displeasure in a short
bark.
Like eager birds of prey over rich
prize, the examiners gathered around
the sledge, and began their search in
the most systematic manner, ransack-
ing every possible place OF conceal
ment Even the cushions and Innings
were not spared, to the indignation of
the coachman and valet, who looked
on with sailen eyes, not daring to IN
terfere, but muttering at the folly of
their master in permitting such an out
rage. AS yet they had not discovered
single contraband article, and more
eager became the search, until at last
the batfied men had to abandon it.
