Say, what is life2 'Tis to be born
n haplcss babe, to greet the light
With a sharp wall, as II the morn
FOretold a cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep and weep again,
With sunny smiles between, and them
And then apace the infant grows
To be a laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy despite his little woes,
Were lie but conscious of his joy;
To be, in short, from two to ten,
merry, moody child, and them
And then, in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the decalogue
And break it, and, unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog,
A truant oft by field and fen
To capture butterflies, and them
And then, increased In strength and size
To be, anon, a youth full grown,
hero In his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sins, and them
And then, at last, to be man;
To fall in love, to WOO and wed,
With soothing brain TO scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread;
To sue for fame with tongue or pen
And gain or lose the prize, and then?
And then in gray and wrinkled cid
To mourn the speed of life's decline;
To praise the scenes his youth beheld
And dwell In memory Of lang syne;
To dream awhile, with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave, and them

The Counts Reception.

Count Tolstoi, being in lula while his
play, 1.-The Fruit of Enlightenment" was
in rehearsal by some smart young mem
beers of the Aristocratic club there, dep
utation Of the aristocrats waited on him
TO ask II he would attend their dress re-
hearsal that evening, a request to which
the count willingly acceded. He appeared
in good time and seemed pleased with ev-
erything except the action of one young
noble, who had to masquerade as serv-
ant and drive some peasants off the stage.
"My friend, why 30 gentleS" said the il
lustrious man Of letters. "You should
shoulder your mujiks off the stage as the
doorkeeper below did me just now" To a
volley of questions the count replied with
his adventure. 1t appears that the worthy
hall porter of the Arstocratic had orders
to admit none but Count Tolstoi after
certain hour, and refusing to believe that
so exalted parsonage would arrive on
foot and in a sheepskin surtout had
promptly kicked the great novelist down
stairs for trying to effect an entrance

IN the dead hours of the night there comes
precious hush, not of the tomb, nor yet
OF life-a mystic spell, when dews are wet;
When, though the voice Of nature softly huns,
It's as Il lullaby, and the mad drums
That tear and crush the peace of day nor yet
The freedom OF the mind have scope, are set
Aside with riot that all thought benumbs.
Into this atmosphere of sacred charm,
Secure from violence or other harm,
Dance out the fairies of the poets dream
With nimble feet and pnions all agleam-
A changing tabeau till the wand of day
Bids silence and her phantom brood away
