AFTER READI NG SIR E DWIN ARNOLD.
Give me red loamy poppy lands this autumn
night,
Let Lethe’s stream flow soft ’twixt banks of
moon drenched rue,
Let me not waken in that paradise of light
Where sleeps the bulbul with a waft of song
and—you.
But let me dream and through the silvery
plaisance roam
Where lemon grass grows spearlike and the
blue doves coo #

golden nest
Hid ’neatli a musky branch of amaranth and
dew.
Shake not tho leafage dense, but let us love
and rest.
I love your lute when silent and your lips
and— you.
So will wo dream within the cloistered green
and gold
Where snpphircd wings are folded all the
warm night through,
And when we wake enclasped in new love
ne’er grown old
I Will contentmy love with rest and morning

Just at the moment when a Montmartre

sac
point of following, this wicked individual
whispered in his ear in confidential fash-
. on: “Aou ,, v „„„ see 1Lhnt gentian ____ lie T v is , my

i,? The 1 ' good 1 man „ promised to discharge
this mission faithfully, aud when the ora-
nibus had reached St Eustucho, ho pulled
the old gentleman by tho sleeve and said:
“Hero we are. Now you must get out.”
The person thus addressed stared at Mm
In amazement, and when the speech had
been repeated several times, lie gave vent
to language of ungrateful not to say rude
tenor, winding up with tho exclamation
that if this was intended for a jest ho did
not see the gist of it. A mild remonstrance
met with a rebuff of an even sterner na¬
ture, promptly followed up by a well di¬
rected blow.
Evidently the old gentleman had left
the asylum too soon, thought the good
Samaritan who had undertaken to see him
safely to his destination, but smarting
from the injury that he had received he
hit out with equal vigor, and in a moment
a sparring match was taking place in the
omnibus, to the consternation of the ladies
present, who gave vent to a chorus of
shrieks. The conductor, unable to bring
the encounter to a close, had to summon
the aid of the police, and eventually the
combatants were led, with blackened eyes,
to the station.
Then, after the usual examination, they
learned to their disgust that they had been
the -victims of the practical joker who had
represented himself as the anxious nephew
of the odd looking old gentleman.—Galig-
