Antony, broken down in spirit, is coming for a meeting with Cleopatra. At this rime dark^Tomfs are settlhig ’nver the Queen,' she has > prepared her tomb and is arrangeing with the trusty Arehibiua for the care- . fid education of her three children in, the* event of her death. • * Here Cleopatra paused, for she thought ■lie heard footsteps approaching, and exclaimed anxiously: "I am waiting —expecting. Perhaps Autonv cannot escape from the paralyz ing grasp of despair. To fight the last lm't!e without him.- nod yet under the gaze of his wrathful, gloomy eyes, once »o full of sunshine, would be the great est sorrow of my, life. ^ Arehibiua, I ■ may confess this to you, the friend who saw love for this man develop in the breast of the cTiiltf Rut wiVat doe* this imean?

JJie Iteardinl lips of the o om-. matvlpr of the gu'arJL et;e the courtleT* words had died away; and even while he stioke Iras pressed pilst him, shrieking as v if half frantic’: “He is coming!

Here is the vuPuro crown of Iris, and here the other. Anto ny’s slave, Eros, has just come in. pant ing for breath.

It would have ’been more in harmony with her feelings to meet the returning Antony in plain, dark garb, which, since her arrival at home, she had exchanged for a richer one only on fea- l. ,JaI occasions; but Antony was; coming as the new Dionysus. ^ , Eight nimble hands, which were often aided by Iras’s skillful fingefs.-toiled bn sily, and soon-,the latter counThold tipi # tairror before Cleopatra, exclaiming l the very depths of her heart. “Like foam-bom Aphrodite and the golden Hathorf’ V Then Iras, who. in adorning her he- -loved mistress, had forgotten love, hate, and envy, and amid her eager baste bare ly founch time for a brief, fervent prayer for a happy issue of this meeting, throw] the broad folding-doors as wide as if she were about to reveal to the worshipers tie wot in the temple the image of thej god in the innermost sanctuary. ’'' . 'h A long, echoing shout of surprise pnd delight' greeted the Qneep, for the cour tiers. hastily summoned, were already awaiting her without, from the gray haired epistoiograph to the youngest page. Regally attired women in her service raided the floating train of her cloak: others, fn sacerdotal robes, were testing the ease of movement of the rings on the aistrum rods, and men and boys were forming into lines, according to the rank of each individual, and the chief fan-bearer gave the signal for de parture. After a short walk through aeveral halls and corridors, the train reached the first courtyard of the palace, and there ascended the few steps leading to the broad platform at the entrance gate, which overlooked-the whole Bruch ium and the-Street of the King, down 1 which the expected hero would approach. The distant uproar of the multitudo had sounded threatening, but now, amid the deafening din, they could distirtguish every •..shout of welcome, every joyous greeting; every expression of .jdellght. surprise, applause, admiration, and hom age known to the Greek and Egyptian tongues. • GttL' tbfe -ciHiire. and end of the proces.- sion were visible. The head had reached the Corner of the Muses, where, con |‘bated hr the /lid . In llia..gardtin-»it. moved on between the Temple of Isis and the land owned by'Didymus. The end still extended to the Choma, whenc^ it had started. ^ ■ - ■ All Alexandria seemed to have joined it. \ , Men large and smiriL of high and low, degfee. oH and young: 'he lame and rhe crippled, mingled w-ith the ttirong. sweep ing onward among horses a«A carriages, carts and beasts of htiriftm, like «i «uouu- raiu torrent dashing wildly down to tho vallev. Here fr loud shriek rang from an overturned litter, whose bearers, had fallen. Yonder a child thrown to the, ground screamed ehrilly. 8o dear and resonant were the thrilling shouts of joy that they rose high above the flutes and taiubouriues, the cymbals, and lutes ,.f the musicians, who followed 'he man ap proaching in the robes of a god. The head of the procession tiow passed beyond the Corner of the Muses and came within view. There could lie no doubt to whom this ovation was given, for the returning hero was ip the van, high above all 'ho •Mbsr figures. From the, golden (TTFoiie borne on the shoulders of twelve black slaves he waved iris long thyrsus in greet ing to the exulting multitude. Before !be bacchanalian train which accompa nied him, and behind the musicians who followed, moved two elephants - hearing between them, as a light burden, si. unrecognizable object covered wjkfi purple cloth. Now the cbtTfmn had passed‘bet ween the pylon*-'through :he lofty gateway-at the Street^of the King, ami stopped opposite to the platform? While officials,$Soythiuns,._pnd Imdy- guards of alj shades, of conrploxfiobV dii foot and on horseback, kept back the throng by force where friendly warning did not avail, Cleopatra saw her fovei* descend from the throne and give a sig nal to. the Indian Slave who ghided the elephants. 4 The cloth was Hung aside, revealing to the astonished eyes of the spectators a bouquet of flowers such as no Alexandrian Had' ever beheld. It consisted entirely of blossoming rose bushes. The red flowers formed a <ir- cle in the centre, surrounded by a broad, light garland of white ones. The whole gigantic work rested like an egg in its cup in n holder of iialm fronds. More than a thousand blossoms were united in .this peerless bouquet,, and 'the singular, gigantic gift was characteristic of its giver. . He advanced on foot to the platform. ,his figure Towering above the -freedmen' and slaves who followed. He could look down upon the tallest men. and the width of his shoulders was as remarkable as hi* colossal height. A long, gold-hmi- dered purple mantle, floating to his an kles, increased his apparent stature. Powerful arms were extended from his sleeveless rolie towards the beloved Queen. The well-formed head, thick dark hair, and# magnificent beard corresponded with the powerful figure. j'ornierly, these locks had adorned the head of the you'h with Uie blue-black hue of thq raven's plumage; now the threads of gray, scattered abundantly" tfimugh Hiom, were'.coneealed by the aid or dye. A ’thick wreath of vine leaves rested on the Iinperator’s brow, and he leafy vine brunches, to Which clung several dark btfhcbee of; grapes, fell over his broad shoulders and-down his back, which was covered like a cloak, not by a Jeopard skin, but that of a royal Indian tiger of great sizc-^ho had slain it himself in the arena. ^ The head and paws of the'diii- mal were gold, the eyes two magnificent sparkling sapphires. The clasp jif the chain, by which tfie skin was suspended, as well as that of the gold belt which- eircled the Imperatoris body above the hips, was covered with rubies and eme ralds.' The wide armlets alsive hie el bows. the ornamen's on his broad breast, nay, even his red morocco boots, glitter ed- and flashed with gems. Radiant as his former fortunes seemed the magnificent attire of this mighty, fallen hero, who, but yesterday, had shrunk timidly and sadly from the eyes of his fellow-tneu. Ilia features,, too, were large, noble, ami beautiful in out line; but though his pale cheeks were adorned with the borrowed erimsnn of youth, half a rentury of the maddest ’pursuit of pleasure and the torturing •ex citement of the last weeks had left traces. • * ’ How frank, gracious, and kindly was this man’s face, how sincere the heart felt emotion whi«4i sparkled in his eyes, still glowing with the fire of youth, at. the sight of the woman from whom he had been so long parted. Every feature beamed with The most ardent tenderness for the royal wife whom he was approach ing. and the expression on tlfe lips of the giant varied so swiftly from humble, sorrowful anguish of mind to gr.atitudq and delight, that even the hearts of hi» foes were touched. But when, pressing his hand on his broad breast, he advanced towards the Queen, bending so low that it seemed as if he would fain kiss her feet, when in fact the edlossal figure did sink kneeling before her. and the power ful arms were outstretched with fervent devdtion like a child beseeching help. the woman who had loved him througii- qut her whole life with all the ardor of her passionate soul was overpowered by the feellug that everything which stood between them, all their mutual offenses, had vanished. He saw the sunny smile that brightened her beloved, ever-beanti- ful face, and then—then his own namrt reached hi* ears from the lips to which he owed the greatest bliss love ever of fered. ° » At last, as if intoxicated by the tones of, her v.oige, which seemed more mush cal than the songs of the Muses; half smiMng at.The jest which, even in thd most serious earnest, he could not aban don; half moved to the depuis of his soul by the power of his newly awakened happiness after such sore sorrow, he pointed to the gigantic bouquet, which three slaves had lifted down from the elephant and were bearing to the Queen. Cleopatra,'too, was overwhelmed with emotion. * This floral gift imitated, on an immense scale, the little bouquet which the fa mous young general had taken from her father's hand before The gate of the gar- dep |>f fcnicurus to present to her as his J first gift. That had also been composed"^ of red "roses, surrounded by white ones.

As "if restored to youth, transported by some magic spell to the happy 'days of early girlhood, she forgot her royal dig nity and the hundreds of eyes which rested .upon him as'if spell bound; and, obedient to an irresis’tbie Impulse of the heart, she sank uisin the broad, heaving breast of the kneeling hero. Laughing joyously in the clear, silvery tones which ak# usually beard only in youth, he clasped her Sn his strong arms, raised her .slender figure in its floating royal mantle fpom-Uie ground, kissed her lips Mini eves held her, aloft in the soaring attitude of the Godiless of Victory, as if to display to the eyes of all. and at last placed her xaerfully on • her feet again like some treasured jewel. - Their, turning to the children, who were waiting at their mother’s aide, he lifted first little Alexander, then the twins, to kiss them: and. while holding Helios and .Selene i» hi* arms, as if the joy of see ing them again had Vanished weight, the shouts which had Arisen w hcti tlie Queen sank un breast again burst for'h.
