FIRE F.4NcIEs.
Guy Wetmnre CurryI.

When the flames are running riot,
Pictures come before our eyes;
Never steady, never quiet,
Magic palaces arise
Now goblin, now fairy,
=. Here an elf and there gnome
Then dream-boat, white and airy,
Drifting on a sea of foam.
All the tales that one remembers
Dragons, witches, captive DANES
CLEAN together in the embers
And the flashing of the flames,
Bits of sunny summer playtime,
White enchantment of the snow,
Memories Of night and daytime,
Lightly come and swiftly go.
Last train of cars, full freighted
With departing fairy souls,
Cracks and roars as If belated,
Rushing DER bridge of Goals.
Then the gold light turns to lumber,
And with soft and stealthy tread
Comes the Sandman, bringing slumber.
Now it's time to go TO bed
st. Nicholas.

A A"Puph of the Celebrated Mascagni."
Ifaruer's Round Table


Almost every hoy and girl has heard
OF Pietro Mascagni, tho composer of
Cavalleria Rusticana, made SO famous
in the world through its beautiful in
termezzo, and also through having the
good fortune to be sung by some Of the
most brilliant artists of the nineteenth
century. One day, when sitting in his
study, an an-grinder stopped below
his window, and began grinding out
the intermeZzo from the Cavaleria so
rapidly that it could hardly be told
from jig. Mascagni jumped up in Il
rage, and, rushing out seized the
handle of the organ, and played il
slowly, as it should be, explaining
meanwhile that he was tho author, &c.
This somewhat appeased the wrath OF
the organ grinder. and before Mascagni
had finished, broad smile illuminated
his face. Shortly afterwards Mascagni
and some friends had the pleasure of
passing the same organ grinder, and
there up on his organ was large sign
that read Pupil of the celebrated
Mascagni. -
