trained eye could appreciate. Stripped OF
it's temporary decorations the theater Is
by night n thing Of beauty. And last
night the great number OF incandescent
lights which form something of canopy
over the parauet had an effect almost as
rich and as brilliant as a group of those
heavenly ornaments which a great poet
has spoken of as forget -nots Of the
angels. They looked down on this gather
ing of gay and happy humanity as though
yearning for power TO smile. The decora-
tons were chiefly OF flags, bunting, palms
and flowers. The boxes were draped with
red. white and blue bunting and large
flags fioated In conspicuous places From
the center of the massive arch which
marks the division between the stage aud
the parquette fell great streamers ct
bunting, the ends OF which were caught
and gracefully tied at the various sides
of the theafer.
As Is customary when balls are given at
the theater the stage was extended
out to and over the parauet and the
entire ficcr covered with canvas. Weg-

LOVES BURIAL.

Thou hast passed from life. and thou
 knowest it not; The light is quenched in thine eyes,
 I wot; Thy rosy-red mouth. it is wan and
 Sere, And thou art dead, my poor dead
 dear, One summer night, myself I saw Thee laid in earth with a shuddering
 awe; The nightingales futed low, dirge-
 like lays, And the stars came out on thy bier
 to gaze. As the morning train through the
 wood defiles, Their litany peals up the branching
 aisles; The pine trees, in funeral mantles
 dressed, Moan prayers for the soul that is gone
 to rest. And as by the mountain tarn we
 wound, The elves were dancing fairy round; They stopped, and they seemed,
 though startled thus, With looks of pity to gaze at us. And when we came to thy lone earth
 bed, The moon came down from the Rea-
 ven O'erhead. She spoke of the lost one. A sob, a
 sound! And the bells in the far-away ' dis
 tance sound.
