THE LISTENERS.

Is there anybody there?" said the
traveller,
Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the
grasses
OF the forests ferny floor:
And a bird flew up out of the turret
Above the travellers head,
And he snote upon the door again a Sec
ond time;
Is there anybody there?" he said.
But no one descended to the traveller,
No head from the leaf fringed sill
Leaned over and looked into his gray
eyes.
Where he stood perplexed and still.
But only a host of phantom listeners
That dwelt in the lone house then
stood listening in the quiet of the moon
light
To that voice from the world of men:
stood thronging the faint moonbeams on
the dark stair
That goes down to the empty hail.
Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken
BY the lonely travellers call.
And he felt in his heart their strangeness,
w lille his horse moved, cropping the dark
turf,
Meath the starred and leafy sky;
For he suddenly smote on the door, even
Louder, and lifted his head;
Tell them came, and no one answered,
That kept my word he said.
Never the least stir made the listeners,
Though every word he spake
Fell echoing through the shadowiness of
the old house
From the enc man left awake.
Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup
And how the silence surged softly back
When the plunging hoofs were gone.

in the White House." he had no such
conception of the duties of states

of extreme peril. On the contrary, he
probably told fewer stories during his
whole stay in the White House than in
any previous year of his adult life, and
for every one he did tell, a hundred
poorer and coarser ones were fathered
on him. Nor did his stories call for
the unctuous and superfluous excuse
that they afforded him a needed relief
he was sad in the White House, but
he had been sad all his life.
The wit and humor with which his
stories overlooked were an essential
part of his strange, frontier nature, as
essential as his melancholy. his ready
SympathieS, or his ambition. He had
no designations and no other amuse-
ments; instead of these, he told stories
from boyhood to admirlng comrades.
He told them uncommOnly we'll, and in
public they always illustrated his argu-
