The Memory of a Night.
Written for the Democraiic Advocate,
by EDGAR T. READ.

1t was a hot, oppressive afternoon in
August. Along the roadside the bushes
were covered with mica-dust, which spar
kled on them like sprinkled diamonds, and
in the pastures, wherever tree afforded
shade, under its spreading branches cattle
gathered, grateful for this retreat from sun
beat fields.
We-an old friend Of my father and
myself-were in carriage, driving slowly
homeward from neighboring village. A
little breeze had started to life, blowing
the dust which rose from the horses feet
across the fields, while threatening clouds
hanging low along the western horizon be-
tokened coming storm. Thc distant
rumble of thunder had sounded for some
time, and ever and anon, with each fresh
peal, the clouds advanced, extending more
and more to the south; albeit as yet no
lightning flash had 4uivered across the
ever darkening mass.
Seeing group of korses, and cows with
calves, standing in al adjoining pasture |
asked my companion if among them was
brindled calf He pointed one out to
me, whereupon | requested that he show
me brindled horse. The effect of this
I
last question upon my friend compelled me
to forego further inquiries about brindled
stock.
When we arrived at the house the clouds
had climbed to the zenith, and stretching
from the southwest far to the north there
met another storm advancing from that
point. Preparations were made expecting
shower to burst at any moment. The
| lightning now flashed along the horizon,
followed by dull, muttering thunder, call
ing to mind the beautiful simile Of |. X.
Marvel in his description of summer
storm, when he compares the lightning to
the cordage around the great sail of black
ened cloud, and the thunder to the creak
ing of distant pulleys, which hoist the
sail-cloud skyward. But although we
hopefully waited for rain to refresh the
ground, parched and burnt by long
drought, only few drops fell, pattering
family on the shingled roof
1t was now near supper time. After
the evening meal I was left to amuse my
self while the chores for the night we're
being done. Mine host went in search of
the cattle, pastured in corner Of the
farm by the shelI-road. His wife was
busily engaged feeding the chickens, a
aock of stately geese and large colony Of
ducks, which made vain efforts in their
awkward fashion to be first upon the scene,
and later, in housing brood Of promising
young turkeys, her special pride, while
the servant was to be seen lowering back

had been sad and sweet, this second half
was poem in prose Of clinging tender
ness--the artist ideal of perfect, un-
strained pathos- delicately vailed in maiden
purity and drawn on background of sad
ness that made one very heart ache.
The club sat drinking in the sweetness
Of it, with bated breath and misty eyes,
unsmoked pipes being held the while
neglected in midair. Then the professor
sat down and began nervously to fill the
glass at his side from decanter
The story had been told, the achieve
ment was laid before the club, and for a
few minutes whispered conversation was
carried on, while the professor sat with
shaking hands filing his long pipe. Then
the president rose to his feet
''Professr, the club congratulates you,
and is indebted to you. In your modesty
you claim for your work merely that it will
achieve in the world out yonder that sue
cess and bring to you that fame which,
for reasons we know of part of your life
has been spent in endeavor to attain You
claim nothing more, professor, because,
being workman, you are modest. But
the club considers that your work merits
something higher and greater than this,
and so we have decided to offer to you,
professor, the highest honor which the club
has in its power to bestow upon a mem
Der and worker.
The professors hand shook so at this
moment that he overturned his glass on the
long deal table beside him, and its contents
streamed down on to the dusty floor of the
ROOM
''Having regard continued the pres
ident, twisting his fingers in his long
beard-''to the glorious tradition of the
club, which, recognizing the impossibility
of the worlds appreciation of the ideal,
has formed plan by which the ideal,
when achieved by brother member, may
be fittingly acknowledged, we have de-
cided to place this story of yours on the
plane last occupied by Eric Vanbrugh s
wonderful Spotted Fairy, Is years ago
to confer upon you, professor, the knight
hood of the club, for which so many of us
strive unavailingly-to here, in solemn
conclave of appreciation, burn in the club
brazier your accomplishment of the ideal,
placing then its ashes beyond the reach of
the world s ignorant misapprehension in
the vase which holds the splendid relics of
century achievements of the Idealistsp'
The professor rose in his chair, rag
ged lock of iron gray hair falling in moist
tangle across his dripping forehead.
''But, gentlemen, my-oh, my half a
life-I-gentlemen, I thank you p
Then he sat down with gasp, and I,
my eyes distended in amazement, watched
the solemn burning, in a curiously wrought
iron brazier, by the Idealist club, of that
most pA'.fsos- of all prose poems of tender
pathos.
And when it was over the professor,
pale and shaking as one in an ague, tot
tered out into Fleet street and ''thO world
out yonder'' on the arm of the white
bearded president, and my last visit to the
Idealist club was ended.

LAVENDER LEAVES.

From The Ne4c England Magazine
The waving corn was green and gold.
The damask roses blown,
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up drowsy drone,
When Mistress Standish, folding down
Her linen, white as snow,
Between it laid the lavender
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes of grayish green.
Still moist with morning dew.
Recalled garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue.
An English garden. quaint and old,
She nevermore might know.
And SO she dropped a homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin.
And fell in many a shred;
Some went TO bind a soldiers wounds.
And some to shroud the dead.
And Mistress standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw
And yiolets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
ndlady lily tall
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across it to and fro
The ghost of linen laid TO bleach
One summer long ago.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1896-02-29

On the following Tuesday evening at Z
o clock hanson put me down at i Grath
road, Chelsea, the address the old man had
scribbled for me on the scrap fpaper which
then reposed in my waisteoat pocket. 1t
was curious room in which | found my
friend-my prematurely aged friend-and
apparently served its proprietor as sleeping,
living smoking and working den, with a
curtained off suggestion of cooking and
bathing in one corner. The professor s
attire seemed to consist chiefly of dress
ing gown, and he was literally surrounded
by sheets of loosely written manuscript.
Everything in the room, from the uncov
cred, ink splashed table to the small rug
covered bed, was exceedingly plain, and
showed no desire whatever for adornment,
but on the narrow mantelshelf there stood
on quantity nodded easel beautiful
miniature in oil Of a very beautiful girl.
At the end of quarter of an hour the
professor gathered together all his loose
MSS, and after few minutes spent in the
privacy of the curtained off corner, he
emerged equipped for travel.
Then we proceeded together to the dimly
UNn
lighted passageway in the court off Fleet
street. at the end Of which one sees painted
on door the words. 81. Flail & Co.
(In liquidation. I"
The professor drew the big key from his
spectacle case as before, and in another
minute we were in the meeting room of
the Idealist club. My friend was late
again, as seemed perfectly natural, and 50
when we arrived the IL other members Of
the club were all sitting waiting in different
positions near the long deal table, as on
the occasion of my first visit
"Good evening, professor =! You are
late, said the president. 1.-The club Is
glad to see that the professor $ friend is
here on this occasion, and wishes him
Good evening
| bowed in answer to the murmured
greetings of the other members, and ac-
cepting the seat pointed out to me by the
president / filed my pipe and watched the
professor unroiling his manuscript.
'sIs the story finished, professor said
the young member who wore the wide
brimmed hat.
The professor nodded in his absent
minded way, and two minutes afterward
he had begun to read, standing, barrister
fashion, with one foot resting on chair
and facingall his brother members, who lay
back in their seats smoking and listening

and long pipe, and then, having evidently
forgotten that tobacco is a useful ingredient
in the sum total of comfortable smoking,
he rose to his feet to speak.
Gentlemen, he said, Hyou know that
for many years have been a hard worker
in the art we all follow. | wanted to see
you tonight because at last have achieved
something-not to entitle me to the far
higher honor with an Idealist club man
may aspire to and reach, but yet-some-
thing; something which | believe will be a
great success in the outside world, and
which viii bring to me that fame which
does not necessarily disgrace member Of
this club in the eyes of his brother mem
bers, and which, for reasons you know Of,
l have spent much of my life in trying to
attain
Professor, we congratulate You, said
the president, and ten voices echoed his
remark with considerable warmth Are

ave are waiting, professor, said the
president, and then my friend began to
read his manuscript, while the members Of
the Idealist club sat round him in different
attitudes smoking and listening. As the
professor read on he changed his position
once or twice, and the perspiration trickled
down his forehead, and sometimes filed
his eyes, making his spectacles opaque.
Then the Idealist club members filed their
glasses while my friend wiped his.
think the story was the sweetest and
most tenderly pathetic thing | had ever
heard or dreamed of, and when it was
finished l heard snuffly whispers of con
graduation all round the long deal table.
"When will the other half be finished,
professor p said the president mopping his
great wrinkled forehead as he spoke.
'It is half done now, replied my
friend, ''and I am working straight on.
1t will be finished on Tuesday.
,'Then | take it, my friends, the club
meets again on Tuesday evening, and since
the professor friend was here tonight, it
is only fair to to ask him TO come ON Tues
day.
The club nodded thoughtfully like one
man.
"Will the professor friend, then. if he
feels inclined, join us on Tuesday evening"
bowed, and having accepted the invi-
tation with thanks left the room with the
professor.
'1f you would really care to come, :"
said the professor, as together we walked
INTO Fleet street, ''you had better meet
me on Tuesday and come down with me.
If you do not, then come and see me at
another time. Here is my address, and
yes There is my bus Good night J
Don forget to come and see me =
My gray headed friend had torn a corner
from his roll of manuscript and scribbled
on it in pencil his address Then he
scrambled on to the top Of his bus, and |
stood on the curbstone watching his quaint
figure as he disappeared in westerly di-
rection.
