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.

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! Here mv hov, mv daught-

or shall dunce with you!" A lid
farmer Laval conducted Lisette 1o
the youth’s side.
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

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. And
when the curate told his Hock, one
