A strain of sweet sad nulsie broke III unou his*lonely niusingH. Over all re fined natures music has an absorbing pow er, and though it often fills the soul with sadness, it costs upon it the spell of an Ir resistible fascination; nnd the stranger paused in his desolate walk to listen to the song. The windows of the princely man sion were hut half veiled, and he could see the happy group that surrounded the pi ano, and the fair girl that sang the soft mi nor uir which sank into the listener’s heart. lie was.a.poet, and had written songs of tenderness and love for others to sing. Himself, he could not sing with such a weight upon lds.heart. The light of ge nius was m his eye, and the imagery of a fervid imagination gathered around Ids brain, and the poet’s impulse, loving, warm and true, lived within bis heart. In the sensitive and gifted the longing for sympathy and love is far more, than in ruder natures, and all his life long his heart had yearned with passionate eogor- I ness for the pure delights of home and the bliss of sympathy and love. The song was over, hut still he lingered, watching the firelight’s fitful glow, as it shed its ruddy sheen upon the clianginj group.
