Ott tae THU SONUS OF OTUF.K BAYS. You wondrr why I ask you To sing them o'er and o'er. Seeming never to tire Of the sad. sweet song* of yore. You wonder why 1 love them. And smile at my old-fashioned ways, Hut to me they are voices from heaven, The son a'' of other days. Often 1 sit in the alienee That comes with the twilight hour, And forget all else in the cliarm Of memory's mystic powci f . A touch like a In eath from heaven O'er the harp of mv being plays. 5 , f,;r Tliyii in memory comes the singer. Her radiant face I see. As siie softly sang ill the twilight Those beautiful songs to me. IVliat, if the voice is silent:* The wind-harp softly plays Through the roses that bloom above her The songs of other days. There's a fragrance that lingers with loses I ong after their beauty has tied— The songs are the lingering fragrance The past, are roses—dead. And when life's sun is setting, And gone are its last faint rays, •May I h ar the angels singing ’I lie songs of oilu r days.

Ernest Dumont, w!i > had '»«en always one of the ho! h s' and gayest v »uth ; of the vill ige, hsd, at :in earlier pe. io 1 , entered the army, an 1 , lnd th •ough his bravery, oil- tlined a commission. -Many were the heart- of the village hellos that fluttered when Earnest reappeared in his gay uniform, and with his ac- ( .ust)mel «<-a'lantrv, pain J comph- each. Hut although , , Ernest , in mts to W almirt-l l,v ,b. fai,-, his dW thmi.cl.ts, ware M to the jirofession of arms; glory was what he coveted; the eamn was Iiis chosen home. Lisette was charmed by his good looks and his engaging manners. When he was present, she did not think of the months lie would be away. She had a cheerful home at the farm, and tlie time pass- 11 I pleasantly. “Coiue ’ said farmer Laval to his reapers “you have labored hard to¬ day, 1 will therefore open a cask of 'vine tor you, and we will finish the evening with a dance. Thc were delighted with the proposition, and the neighboring farmers, their wives and daughters being sum- m ined t. > partake of I.aval's lms- pitality, quickly attended in their looks and best clothes; and lor a wonder, there was nothing like an envious countenance among the la- ,lles ' “Now, take your partners, 1 ’ said farmer Laval, and the, command was s >on oheyt'd. “What” exclaimed the farmer, looking around, and perceiv- ing a simple, hashtul-looking youth in a corner. “Tobv Leroux not yet encaged!

Happy Topv Leronx! 11is deart't wish was realized. Lisette was more than usually in- terosting that evairtng: she was situ- ply and modestly attired, and her luxuriant brown tresses were well contrasted with a straw hat; sho re¬ sembled a beautiiul dower, upheld by the breeze. The dance was over, and thr guests departed: one lingered heliimi, as if loth to quit the place with whi all his hopes of happiness was as¬ sociated. Lisette, fatigued a.nl thoughtful of tlie one object of lie*' affections, now far away, was enter- ing the house, when a tremulous voice whispered in her ear: “Lisette! Lisette! I love you. I will marry none hut you!" The maiden passed hastily and haughtily into the house, without ap¬ pearing to notice what had been ut tered; but she knew the voice; and the words had irritated and offendett her. “The idea of my becoming the wife of Toby Leronx!" she exclaim- ed, as she looked at the reflection of her pretty face in the glass. Toby Leroux was a plain, t itious voung f irmer: he had but few words wherewith to express his sen- t monts; but they were honest words, and disclosed what he realv felt, His neighbors a Imired him, for they appreciate l his virtues; and the cu¬ rate always made it a point of eall- mg at his house of an evening when he pa*se-i-that way. His laborers also loved him: and it was a general remark that . some how or other Toby Leronx got more done for him bv his servants than any other farmer in the neighbor- hood. Truth, to say, however, the i damsels did not look upon Toby Le- roux with the same favor; and there was not one, perhaps, that Mould not have entertained as profound an j ( | ( , ;1 of her superiority as Lisette Laval, when she looked in the glass alter lie iia i (as much to his own surprise as hers) declared that he loved her. Yet, having made, that declaration, ' Tobv Leroux wcis not the man to Hindi . from his position. it vyas a worl*.f mighty difficulty for him to get the words out, hut once out h e fe!t no difficulty m pursuing his suit, 1 It was a point of honor with him now to prove his sincerity. On the f dlowing Sunday, therefore, j u . dresse 1 himself with scrupulous nice- 1 ty: the best coat, that had not seen ! daylight since Iiis father’s funeral, was taken out of the family elicst. and a new hat that he had gone to the . neighbotmg . town for . on the ., pre- v....... .I.y. was . .... tbo .1 *mm. Mm )4 h,m now, g.uly tmg out to propose in form to Lis- 1 , ette and farmer Laval. Hehold him, alas! returning sad and sorrowing. Lisette had told him that her heart was given to un- other. it was a glorious day, on the ISth of June. The cannon of Waterloo announced that the conflict between the armies of France and England had begun. The Emperor is there, and all the gallant men who shared his fortune—Ernest Dumont among them. Hut vain are their efforts; the English triumph, and thc Km- ! peror is a fugitive; his bravo army is scattered, and their officers, wound- ed and helpless, seek refuge where they may. Lisette, day after day, proceeded to the appointed place of meeting, where she was to welcome her so!- dier lover; hut day after day she re- turned disappointed and desponding. At last she is rewarded, t) joy ! O happiness ! Ernest Dumont is there ! “Welcome! welcome!" she ex- elaimed. rushing towards her lover, “I knew you would come at last What, sleeping. He is fatigued, doubt: tired, too, of waiting' for I cttc! Hut now awake, Ernest, awake i” ! “Silent, iv moment, as entranc'd she stood, With lifted hand and lips apart—and eye Gazing away the rich heart, as she \uu<ii. Darker than nigli^lier l«cki* fell clustering ( y e ,. ],er f month brow, the sweet air just mov'd Their vine-like beauty with its gentle ' wing, And t there shone forth the li llowingsoul which glows Hound beaty. like the circling light on high. Which decks and makes the glory of flic sky." “Ernest, awake!” at length she cries again, hut he replies not. She calls louder. A gust of wind moan¬ ing through tli(> willow branches, alone distnrlTs the silence. A dread¬ ful apprehension Hashes on tin 1 girl's mind. She touches Ernest, and her suspicions are confirmed. He is cold—he is dead- lb' had received several wounds, hut had contrived to reach his native village, and there ex- pi red. Hitter were the trials of Lisette Laval, for the winter proved a se- vote one, and her father became 111- voiced in peneuniary difficulties, Lisette was not wanting in filial af- i'ecuon, and the necessities of their situation in a measure diverted htr fr ‘”» <»«’ •»« Toby Leronx was also of assist- anee in arranging matters with the importunate creditors. And when fanner Laval became ill of a fever it was Toby Leroux who was constant in his attentions, and endeav.irc i to cheer him up while hope remained, with’prospoct of improved I and when the doctor said all hope was past, it was Toby who directed # the fanner's thoughts to a happy ft:- ture. i Farmer , Laval died, , and Lisette was left alone in the world. Rut there was a worse condition than hers. In a neighboring village lived a lieutenant’s widow, with a Lundy o. tom young children, G' 1 " 0 '! t° destitution by the ravages of war. She had been in a higher st 'dion than Lisette. and therefore felt (lie blow more keenly.
