Gray Halls.
v Like the first flake of snow
On some cloud-reaching bill.
While the valley below
Is blossoming still,
Though tho silvery sheen
Mid the raven locks play,
Still the heart map bo green.
While the templos are gray.
Like the leaves that we first
In their faded dress nee,
? With the green interspersed
Of tho still fruitful treo;
Though we gray hairs among
Tho dark trcssoa behold? -
. Yet the heart may bo.ypiing
When tho head has grown old.
Like the first starry gleams
On tho brow of tho night,
While the Western sky,beamB
With its warm, mellow light;
Though tho ringlets may snow
Here and there a white thread,
Yet the heart may still glow
Underneath a gray head.
Though the froBt of long years
Tho life-current enfold,
Till the thin form appears
As impassive and cold
AB tho long, frozen night
At the pole, still the head
Never yet waa so white
That the heart was quite dead.
THE DREAM OF LOVE.
CONCLUDED.
Ou ruy entrance, he advanced aud
'welcomed me iu tones of the most bland
politeness; then, after a few common?
places, he said ho would be delighted to
hear me play. I bowed, and commenced
a piece of my own composition, founded
on a popular Neapolitan fisherman's
song. I had purposely selected this for
what dramatists call le lever du rideau,
from the fact of ita possessing a certain
degree of sprightfalness calculated to
arrest the litener's ear, and thus produoe
a favorable reception for my more elabo?
rate performance. It also gave me time
to study my audience and the acoustic
qualities ot the room, which was of con?
siderable Bize, but so dimly lighted that
its proportions were not easily definable.
A few wax candles, burning in silver
stands, interspersed np and down, shed
so feeble an illumination en the sur?
rounding objecto, that served but to in?
crease the gloom.
The company consisted of some twen?
ty or thirty individuals, who preserved
the most icy frigidity of manner. One
lady, dressed in blue satin, with a jasmin
flower in her hair, was beautiful as a
Grecian statue, but, alas! as cold. An?
other of the gnests seemed plunged in
deep thought, for his head never once
moved from its recumbent position dur?
ing my performance. Two or three of
tho gentlemen were dressed in uniform,
and to judge from the stars and ribbons
which adorned their breasts, must have
been men of considerable distinction.
Among the gentle sex, I remarked a few
pretty girls clastered together in one
corner, while an elderly lady, in black
velvet and ostrich plumes, seated near
them, surveyed the group with a smile
of benevolent approval. One couple,
consisting of an old gentleman and lady,
who, to judge by their silver locks and
venerable forms, must have long passed
the term of life allotted by the Psalmist,
sat in close proximity to their host, and
were evidently the patriarchs of the
party. The rest I could not see, with
the exception of a dark complexioned
man of about thirty-five, who fixed upou
me a steady glassy eye. There was a
wild, haggard expression about that
man's face I did not like; and whenever
I looked in his direction, I mot the same
fixed stare, until it became an insult;
but, as if to make amends for this, a
comely-looking dame, seated by his side,
rewarded my exertions with a very kind?
ly, good-humored smile.
There was an air of biens?ance pervad?
ing the assembly; but, at the same time,
I had never in my whole experience
found the Horatiau axiom of nil
admirari pushed to the same extent; and
when I brought my solo to a close, not a
single expression of satisfaction greeted
my labors. I ought, by the way, to ex?
cept the Prince, who was pleased to
express himself io flattering terms of my
artistic endowments. Two footmen now
brought on silver trays a slight refec?
tion, composed of ices, orgeat and Vene?
tian confectionery. While this pnrt of
the ceremony was being enacted, and I
was duly refreshing myself with an ioe
such as Italy alone can produce, Prince
Paul came up and began to chat about
tho rival sohools of music in Germany
and Italy, in a way that showed consider?
able knowledge of the subject. There
waB in the old gentleman's manner a
benevolence and regard to the feelings
of others, combined with a general
warmth of expression, strangely opposed
to the chilling indifference displayed by
his guests.
After a sufficient pause, I resumed my
instrument, aud this time selected
Prume's delioious pastorale, "La M?lan?
colie," thinking that this might he more
in harmony with tho feoliugs of my
audience. But it was ail one; not an
emotion was stirred by the touching
notes of that expressive melody, or the
admirable variations which succeed it.
The dark eyes still glared at mo wildly
the comely dowager smiled good-humor
edly as beforo-tho generals ovinced no
symptoms of surrender of their stoieism
-tho group of fair girls, with their
chaperone, preserved tho utmost compo?
sure-aud she with the divine faco and
? III mmmmgmmm mm "^""^^^^^^ 5
the jasmia fiowor.I no traco, not oven the
faintest gleam bf susceptibility dwelt on
that adorable oonntenanoe. I could
have borne all but thia. Had one smile
of approbation from those lovely lips re?
warded- ray endeavors, I should have
been content. . But this indifference waa
dreadful. Was it possible that a being
so thoroughly beautiful could bo de?
prived of all sensibility to tho poetry of
sound? It could not be. No; I had
failed in calling forth those emotions of
tho soul BO obedient to the summons of
the inspired musician. My wand was
evidently impotent, and I became piqued
and discontented.
At length, after playing a mournful
sweeping movement towards the close,
without tho slightest effect, I suddenly
broke off, and, in a fit of desperation,
dashed into tho Carnaval de Venise. It
was a last resource, aud I resolutely de?
termined on rousing this apathetic as?
semblage, at the sacrifice even of my own
reputation. Tho most outre and extrava?
gant variations-the most ludicrous
sounds I conld deviso-altercations be?
tween tho old man and woman, followed
by the tumbling down Btairs of tho for?
mer, while hotly pursued by his better
half; Paganini's most grotesque move?
ments, rendered grotesquer and absurder
still-followed by the clucking of hens,
orowing of cooks, the bleating of lambs,
the grunting of pigs-tho various sounds
of a farm-yard, delightfully interspersed
with the mewing of oats, and tho lowing
of an old cow, being tho veritable song
of whioh that anoiont femalo died; all
these, and. more, were recklessly thrown
in without tho slightest regard to any?
thing but the desired object of rousing
my audienoe. Caring for uothing else,
I fixed my eyes on tho Madouna-liko
head, and intently watched her face.
With the electric thread which seems to
connect tho musician and his listener, I
was ready to catch the faintest expres?
sion of her features, to seizo tho slight?
est and most airy fancy of her brain, and
transfer it to my strings. Alas, alas, all
was fruitless; and after some of tho mad?
dest nnd most insane sounds ever emit?
ted from a fiddle, I sank thoroughly ex?
hausted into a spacious arm-chair, and
buried my face in my hands.
Tho Prince now approached and
thanked me warmly for my services, at
the same timo expressing tho gratifica?
tion I had afforded him by what ho was
pleased to term my wonderful execution
and originality of genius. There was a
dignity and grand-seignior air about the
old nobleman which prevented my laugh?
ing utterly at'this dubious compliment
to my charlatanry; but I saw at a glance
that ho meant no insult, and therefore
contented myself with a formal bow.
Soon afterward the chamberlain entered
the saloon; mouBiegueur politely wished
mo good-night, aud my guide conducted
me through the long suite of dimly
lighted apartments to tho hall. Just as
I was leaving, least a glance behind; the
divino head was pensive as ever-the
dark oyes still glared-the good-natured
dowager smiled-the warriors preserved
their usual taciturnity, and the group of
girls still lingered in tho Bamo corner. I
felt I had produced no impression-that
I had, moreover, made a fool of myself,
and that tho sooner I left the place, tho
better. Stung to the quick with morti?
fication, I pushed brusquely past the at?
tendants, and, declining the proffered
carriage, rushed into the street, glad to
escape from the mansion.
Tho following morning I received a
complimentary note, containing a check
for ten louis, and expressing a wish to
soe ino again in tho course of tho ensu?
ing week. Now, ns I said before, I am
"only a fiddler," and have to livo by my
art; conseqnently, I again accepted the
invitation, and drew out a programme of
strictly classical music, thinking that my
previous selection had probably not been
lo tho taste of the listeners. " I should
not omit to mention that I was, on each
occasion, provided with a pianiste accom?
pagnateur.
The same stillness pervaded the man?
sion ns before, the same ceremony, the
same dimly-lighted apartments, and, so
far as I could perceive, tho same guests.
I played with care, for the idea had seiz?
ed my mind that these silent persons
were fastidious critics of music, and bad
probably not relished my extravagances
of last week. I was, therefore, doubly
scrupulous, and rendered, with the ut?
most ncouracy in my power, Mendels?
sohn's magnificent concerto, which was
my piece de resistance, and I agaiu had
tho mortification of closing without a
murmur of that sweot music of applause
which is to the executive artist as the
breath of life. The exquisito beauty of
tho lady with the jasmino flower, faintly
seen through tho prevailing gloom, tho
soft pensiveness of that countenance, in
whose features were blended Athenian
grace with tho Madonna inspiration,
stolo into my heart, and disturbed its
usual placidity-for, recollect, oh! read?
er, that I was in the laud of Horneo and
Juliet. As usual, tho Prince congratu?
lated me ou my performance, and the
chamberlain conducted mo to the door.
The teu louis wore duly forwarded, and
I endeavored to dismiss the subject from
my mind; but in dreams there would
arise tho figure of a beautiful lady beck?
oning mo to celestial bowers, and in tho
day-time my mind was haunted by her
image. T become restless and moody;
found myself, without what lawyers call
any malice prepense, walking up aud
down in front of the palazzo, gazing nt
the windows, in the hope of catching a
flimpse of the divine occupant. In fact,
began to evince all tho symptoms of a
man hopelessly and irretrievably in love.
Laugh not, good friends, nt my plight,
for it was n sorry one. You who are rich
and well born can afford to love; the fair
and the young smilingly $trow the path
to the citadel of their hearts with roso
leaves. And yon again, respected JoncB,
who don't exaotly belong to the creme de
la creme, can yet afford to love, and ronr
np a brood of sturdy little Joneses; but
the poor artist, who is neither rich,'nor
high born, nor respectables-tho Bohe?
mian of society, tho diverting vagabond,
whoso only mission is to mitigo to. tho
ennui of listless lords and ladies-*what
business has he to love, save some rouged
?nd spangled beauty of bia gipsy clan I
It ia true, he is admitted into the fami?
liarity of the great; he is lionized, and,
it may be, flattered, by beautiful women;
often, too, he is the recipient of the most
delicate confidences; yet, woe betide
him, should he for a moment forget his
exact position, aud lift his oyes to tho
fair forms around him with any other
than the coldest and most deferential
gaze. Yet, it is hard to do this at all
timeB-hard, with your susceptible,
nervons organization, to caso your heart
in steel, and successfully resist tho blan?
dishments of beauty aud refiuemeut.
I was fully aware of all this, and that
my growing passion was tho direst in?
sanity; overythiug-my position in life
-tho utter indifference displayed by the
object of all this delirium-went to prove
the fact. Still, the impassibility, the
colduess, tho mystery, only served to add
fuel to my raging love, and I was living
in a sort of fever. For a time I did no?
thing but draw figures of melancholy
ladies, with flo wera in their hair, write
doggerel sonnet? to Beatrice-I had as?
certained her name-wherein tho moon,
aud the stars, aud tho sea largely figured,
aud tho word love generally rhymed to
grovo. During the height of this mad?
ness, I arose ono night from my sleepless
couch, stifled and restless; I threw open
the window; tho gent?o brcezo from the
sea, bearing on its wing the voices of
flshermen in the bay, mingled with the
occasional laughter of a group of lazza
roni, listening to the recital of some
drollery; the drowsy hum of tho sleep?
ing city, and the murmur of tho waves,
added to tho picturesque sounds which,
in Naples, never cease, day or night-all
feuded to compose my mind. I drew on
ray dressing gown and slippers, lighted
my meerschaum, and sat by tho window,
inhaling rich draughts of cool aud grate?
ful air.
Presently, I soized pen and paper, and
began to write. The confused ideas and
passionate ravings of my heart now found
a vent, and poured themselves forth iu
musical forms. Without premeditation
or design, my composition took a shape,
into which I most happily threw those
wild aspirations which, through igno?
rance of the medium, had been simply
ridiculous abortions on the uncouth can?
vass and doggerel verse. So thorougly
became I absorbed in my occupation,
that I was bewildered when Giulia, the
pretty serving-maid, gently tapped at
my door to announce tho arrival of my
matutiual roll and coffee. I looked ?ron nd ;
the lamp still feebly flickered against the
now almost brilliant sun-light; a mass of
paper lay scattered on the floor, aud tho
ashes of the pipe'had fallen on my tat?
tered robe de chambre, and curiously per?
forated that venerable garment. I hastily
gathered the manuscript together, ex?
tinguished the lamp, admitted the as?
tonished Giulia, discussed my breakfast,
and then resumed my work. By noou
it was finished, aud finished to my satis?
faction; I entitled it "A Dream of Love."
The same evening I was again engaged
at the palnzzo, and went this timo tri?
umphantly armed with my new compo
sitiou, which I had dedicated to "Tho
Unknown Lady." She was, as usual,
just visible through the perpetual twi?
light which reigned in the abode, with
the same placid expression of goodness
in her divinely beautiful face. Tho
swarthy stranger was also there, aud his
eyes rested on me as wildly as ever; the
good-humored dowager was good-hu?
mored still; the girls, as far os a group
of sea-nymphs, appeared, like those way?
ward beings, devoid of human souls, for
they were utterly unimpressionable. The
other ladies and gentlemen maintained
their usual frigid demeanor. I played a
romance of Beethoven's; Brunt's Elegie;
a selection of the Lieder ohne Worte; and
then m3T own Dream of Love. Up to
this time T had evidently made no way;
my audience was unmoved, and I began
to feel nervous, for I had staked all my
hopes on the success of this last compo
sitiou. At length I commenced, and
gazing on the being of my idolatry,
drank inspiration from that queenly
brow. Tho tender strain proceeded coy
and gentle as a bashful lover's vows;
then gradually warming instinctively,
becamo hurried, uncertain, fierce and
strong, until, reaching tho climax of
frenzy, its passiou exploded, in a wild
burst, and then, iu broken sobs, and
scarcely articulate sighs, it slowly died
away in silence.
I fixed my straining eye balls on the
unknown lady, and sought to divo into
the secret recesses of her soul. With a
throbbing heart and foverod brow, I
threw into the music all the fir? which
tormented my breast. The violin was
no longer a mero musical instrument,
but rather a human soul, pouring forth
thc wailing melodics of "somo divine
despair," whose piteous accents must
touch the coldest heart. Alas! it touched
not hers. Tho dark eyes glared fiercely;
the dowager relaxed not a muscle of that
stereotyped smile; that detested smile
nearly drove mo mad. Tho maidens
wero passive as usual; and the heroes
stood stolid as blocks of stone. I felt
ray head turning, and in a paroxysm of
agony at tho ruin of all my hopes, I
flung aside my instrument, nnd, utterly
reckless of consequence0, throw myself
at tho feot of the lady and wildly seized
her arm, when-O that the earth hod
opened to receive mo, and hide my
shame!-tho exquisite member crumbled
into dust, and she, the madly-worshipped
queen of my soul, toppled over from her
seat, and with a fearful crash, fell to tho
ground, dashed into n hundred frag?
ments. * * * * * j recollect no?
thing further of what occurred; but
when I regained my senses, I was at
homo, attended by a careful nurse and
.the ever-watchful Giulia. For some
days, I was not allowed to allude to any
subject of an exciting nature; but when
my constitution had finally triumphed,
and I was one evening sitting on tho bal?
cony, still weak, but rapidly recovering,
the honest girl put a letter into*my hand,
vf hieb she had orders to deliver to mo as
GOOD as tho ph voici an would allow. I
broke the seal and read os follows:
"Sin: Your rash conduct has been
cruelly punished, and I feel it has now
become my duty to remove tho mystery
whioh has so painfully affected yon. I
am an old man, nud bavo survived most
of my co temp orari es; consequently, I
live chiefly in tho past, amidst departed
friends and bygouo memories. For
years I havo existed in this manner,
alone, and yet surrounded by tho dear
familiar faces of those I loved best on
earth. As each cherished friend died, I
called into requisition the skill of the
modeller, and in wax, clothed in their
usual dress, wearing their usual expres?
sion, I havo thus preserved my house?
hold gods around me. Remembering
their various tastes, I procuro thoso
amusements to which they were most
addicted, and for this purpose I secured
your ability. In theso scones, I live
again, and tho pleasures of memory
crowd my brain. In fact, I bavo few
other sources of joy left than those
which lio embalmed in the past. Thoso
figures you saw in tho dim light are the
exact-exact, yet alas, how different
representations of my departed friends
and relatives; and the lady dressed in
blue satin was my only daughter-good
and pure as au augel. Ah! tho wound is
re-opened. Adieu forever.
PRINCE AOL P-."
Eucloscd was a check for fifty louis,
and a ring, containing a lock of raven
hair, set iu diamonds. At first, I was
furious; I resolved to return, with bitter
reproaches, theso hated cadeaux, but the
Prince was gone, no ono knew whither.
Thus bullied, I tore up into a thousand
shreds my nocturno, drawings, sonnets,
otc. I was covered with confusion and
shame. To have thus madly loved a wax
figure! All Naples would be pelting
with ridicule the luckless foreign fiddler.
I must instantly leave tho accursed place,
and onco moro plunge into the active
scenes of daily life. Fortunately, how?
ever, I found my adventure was not
known, so I quietly resigned my ap?
pointment, and bade farewell to Naples
-a city I havo never re-visited.
Many years had elapsed, and iu thc
varied sceneB of a busy professional life,
the above circumstances had nearly
faded from my memory, when, to my
astonishment, one morning, not long
ago, I received a small parcel from
abroad, containing the miniature portrait
of a beautiful girl, exquisitely painted.
A letter accompanied this gift, wherein
I was officially informed tbnt, by the will
of the late Princo Paul--, recently
deceased, at an advanced age in Moscow,
I became entitled to this portrait, to?
gether with some manuscript music, aud
a largo sum of mouey. Tho music I
found to bo no other than a copy of my
forgotten Dream, which had been left in
the palazzo on tho night of that dire con?
fusion. Lost in amazement, I gazed at
tho well-remembered features until my
mind dreamily wandered buck through
the long years to the sombro mansion,
tho eccentrio old nobleman, the silent
party, and my astounding affaire de
CO'iw on tho Cb ia ja.
