I always rose eapy, and one of my favorite pastimes wS to wander alone, about ft o’clock in the morning, in the nursery gardens of the Luxembourg. “You others did not know these gar d«is> They were like au enchanted garden of a past century, u garden as prettv as the sweet smile of au old lady, Boxwood hedges separated the straight and narrow alleys, silent and deserted alleys, betweeu two walls of metlnak ically dipped foliage. The gardener's scissors relontlossly clipped these divi.l ing hnshea. mid hero and there vou came upon a parterre of flowers and plants firths of young trees, set out like col Ionian* on parade, magnificent groups of rose bushes and a whole regiment of fruit trees. “One corner of this enchanted gulden tvas given over to tlie bees. Their straw houses set .at certain spaces apart, »n Ismohcs. admitted the sunlight, by doors ; about tut large as a thimble, and all along the path the gilded anil Inwziug bees, true douireris of tlirma silent alleys corridors, real mistresses of this I^aceful spot, flew in every direction, “I used to go there nearly every niornlng, and seating my self on* bench would road; sometimes I let tuy liook f*H On my knees dreamily, faintly hear big the sounds of living Paris all around tile, and enjoyed to its utmost the in finite repose of tliis remnaut of ancient regime. “But I found that I was not the only frequenter of flits spot after the open ing of the barricres; 1 sometimes on countered. fao« to face, in Ut« corner of ^giovo a strange little old mau. .1 " l »f|Ve»'l breceheTasnuff" 1 tssutel ,l"'e'l *'IUI ImU licTins*dof 'cravatand redlngol. «ii * * , ‘ l “ “«• 11 n )lri|u j i,,,,,, beeu'lhe j lj4 j' rs which looked im if ', fashion before « , o|t„ W as thin almost altenuatlon nll f ,.„i, ‘“’p. ir nnclcere.i q.“! ‘ „n<l ' .itiilinu “ His c oonti^tod wm , Hti v’ , . bv a nrn twite.Uinu He j alwava ,' carried ' a ,, . . » ^ hidbtd ...cii fr.m it* i thecar..fnl'wav S^veidrT in which « pricetess , ^ UT| ’, . aslonlalia.l »■„ a l ! ’ ’ , |w»vend '«'• , ' , , , ,, „ _ ,, '' “ *‘ M ’ tho flowerbeds e. as not , . thiiiir hanoeiied thmki.m himself unseen ’ j ( , , Jlt . ... , . ’ first a 'mv lilt le teiuiels* unil'rnt ^ y„. •... w ,, tl t iiia «l«*u «*»«« ,1.., 1,.„ a llirht cun-r tl.un 1 1... ’ ’ ft ( .ri n%r in -i on.s-r i tshioi Isiwiuv su.il . . . , _ , t jdiencc ' twHitu'hisnoor II , . ,.o .

Presently I perceived my old ' friend, who ceremoniously tendered bin arm to a very small old lady dressed m black. Tb;« woe La Castris, the great dancer, beloved of the king, the favorite of pnnee the adored of that gallant reign which a*e*nr to have left to the world on odor of love. i “We Boated ourselves^ on «®» of th« atone benches. It was in the month of May. The perfume of flowers permeated the air around us. A glorious sunlight glinted through the leaves and cast rays of light around 111 ' La Castris black dress seemed bathed in sunshine. “The gardens were deserted. In the distance could be heard the rumbling of vehicles, the noise of new Paris. u i Will you explain to me,’ .1 said to the old ballet master, ‘what the minuet really was?" “He trembled. I* i The minuet was the queen of dances, the dance of queens. Since there is no longer a king, there is no longer the min¬ uet.’ “And then he commenced iu a pom sws;»as£rrs? * begged of him to describe the atejie, t j,e movements, the poses. He became ratiier provoked at my ohtnseness, and turniug toward his grave and silout oowpsnton he exclaimed: “ ‘BlissI would you—you would 1* most ehliging- would you bo willing that we should niriov this gentleman vrhat lt was?’ “She turned lie|ri|AsU«sa eyes on all sides, aud lietng that wo were alone shoir,we wit.U<mt’a word and placed herself in ftrdnt of him. “Then 1 saw a sight never to bo for gotten. “They went and came with infantile griftlkces, smiling, balancing, bowing, leeping like two old dolls that had been set ^jncjug by an old fashioned mechan ism, a little out of order, but coiistruct ed in olden times by a skillful workman, accordiiig to the prevailing fashion. “And 1 looked ut ttiom, my heart torn by,conflicting emotions, my soul moved by an iudesOribalde melancholy, it seemed to me that 1 was watching a Bad yet comical apparition, the old fashioned shadow of a past century. I wanted to laugh aud could hardly refrain from weeping. "All at once they stopped; they had finished the figure* of the dance. For *oitte second* they remained facing each other, grimacing in a most mtr)>riHiug manner, then without warning they fell into euch other's urms, sobbing bitterly. “Three days later 1 left Paris for the provinces. When I returned two years afterward the nursery gardens of the Luxembourg had beeu destroy ed. What bad become of the old couple, without their beloved garden of other days, with its labyrinthine paths, its is'rfutnes of the past and its gracefully turned hedges? "Are they dead?
