MOONLIGHT AND MUSIC
Dear heart, do you remember
That summer by the sea,
One blue night in September,
When you were here with me?
How like a pearl uplifted,
The full moon rose and drifted,
And 41 how the shadows shifted,
Until the stars were free . " '"
Along the beach-the breakers
Brought in their lavish store,
Gathered from ocean acres,
And strewed the curving shore;
Grasses that gleamed and glistened,
Flowers that the sea had christened,
Shells at whose lips you listened,
To learn their wonder lore.
Softly the treeze blew over
From groves and gardens fair,
Spilling a scent of clover
Into the balmy air;
The, breath of pines around m,
Fragrant it . came and found . us, -Just
as the moonlight crowned us,
And love at last came there.
What music hailed our rapture! ,
What singers on the sand
Where they whose hearts could cap-
. - ture ; .... ',r:
Our joy and understand? : :
Oh, wind and wave, they guessed it;
They, sang it and confessed it 1
Their love and ours and blessed it
There on the moonlit strand!
Dear heart, still sweet the story
For all the years gone by;
Still floods the moon, with glory
The land, the sea,- the sky; - ;
And still the nightmoth hovers . j " .
Around us and discovers
The same, devoted lovers" ; .. - :

key who was sent for the "first time
to the postofflce to mail four letters :
His employer not having the neces
sary ' change to pay the postage, . told
the darkey to pay it, and. he i woul d
repay him the next day. -The old
negro 7 started down the road , and
about an hour later reached the post;
office.; -. -
"Boss," he said, , looking in through
the stamp window, "how much do' it
tek ter sen' fo' letters for Massa
Johnson?" " - ? -
"Eight - cents," replied the clerk,
from within the window.
"Dat so?" interjected the negro.
"Yes, uncle." - ', ,--."
The old darkey studied a while,
took ouf a leather bag and worried
eight coppers out of the! lining.- Lay
ing these on the counter he "drew a
long breath and said:
"Well, yo c'n let 'em go 'long."
"But where are the letters?" asked
the clerk. ' . : v
"Whar is day?. Why, I done drapt
'em in de hole 'round yonder."

he was the son. of respectable par
ents." Get your pianos of the Prescott
