I am tirel of rl.inuiagr and toiling
In the crovrUeJ iilv.*s of men:
Heart weary of building and sixtilin.^,

Where I dreamed my youth away:
For a dreamer lives forever
And a toiler dies in a day.
I am sk*k of the showy seeming
Of a life that U half a lie;
Of the factv*- lined with scheming
In the throng that hurried by.
From the sleepless thoughts’ endeavor
I would go where the children play;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a thinker dies in a day.
I can feel no pride, but pity
For tin* burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient livett of the poor.
Oh, the little hands too skillful,
And the child mind choked with weeds!
The daughter’s heart grown willful.
And the father’s heart that bleeds!
No. no! From the street's rude bustle,
From trophies of mart and stage,
I would fly to the wood's low rustle
And the meadow’s kindly page.
L-t me dream as of olJ by the river.
And l»e loved for the dream alway;
For a <1 reamer lives forever.

THE CREOLE CARNIVAL.
ifardi Gras morning in the Queen City
of Carnival!
Tlio great day of the anto-Lenten revel
never breaks upon a sleeping city, and
New Orleans was early astir, with that
unique bnza and flurry which so exceed
buzz and flurry elsewhere, when once
your Creole population lies get wide
awake. And nothing wa..^s her so very
wide as the carnival festa.
This one, after long abstinence, was
peculiarly exciting; and far west into
the Americanized city, away east through
quaint old Frcnchtown, carnival echoes
rang and carnival sights greeted the eye
ou every side.
The entire population, home and tran
sient, seemed to have beaten the sun out
of bed, and before he wiped the misfe
from his forehead maskers thronged the
streets in ante-bellnm number and va
riety. For the carnival was on in all its
general aspects, if not witli all that lav
ish expenditure of taste and money
which makes the displays of the Mystick
Krewe of Comus nnique in brilliance
and in beamy throughout the world.
Public masques, singly and in groups,
on foot or mounted in saddle or vehicle,
would prevail; masquerade balls of ev
ery grade, from decorous danco to reck
less romp, would lie field, and universal
levity of public revel, strangely re
strained by influence of habit and blithe
but rarely vicious temperament, on the
hither aide of license, would sway the
hours from mom Ui.* midnight. But the
lirst stroke of 1?. iu warning of Ash
Wednesday, would drop the mask from
sinner and saint alike, sending all to
their knees for a penitential season of
ths flood's lioration, with Sundays
thrown in pour lagniappe, as the Creole
ssith.
And, to crown the whole, tho Mystick
Krewe would give its first pageant
through tho streets in five long, somber
years.
Since Its mysterious origin, in 1857,
that venerable lodge of

tion and delight to

glories of the carnival as well, and the
Krewe was but a brilliant memory to
many—an eagerly expected novelty to
some.
Thai singular society, so secret in its
membership and methods, yet so benef
icent end gracious in its results, was
jiopnlarly surmised to embrace the fash
ion and highest culture of the Crescent
City, as it surely did her wealtti and her
artistic sense. But they who composed
it had lost riches, comrades, all save
honor, in the stressand struggle of those
hitter years: and they had not chosen
“to make a Roman holiday” with the
grass yet ungrowu on graves of kith and
kin. indeed, to the present day those
tasteful pictured emblems sent to their
elect in many a distant city have borne
blank circles with those years, from 1861
to 1866, when the only revel was the red
one dedicated tu Mars.
But once again the great Krewe was
to crown the carnival with one of its
glittering pageants: and round that
event centered the keenest and most
curious anticipation of all the holiday.
For. mysterious in all things, these
nnique mystic societies of the chief cities
never advance the slightest hint of what
that subject theme may be which they
ever illustrate with a tact and tiiste and
brilliance that can he appreciated only
by being seen.
But meantime th; true carnival spirit
ruled tlie hours. Grotesque costumes of
every nationality known, of many de
signs quite unknown; bizarre monstros
ities or cleverly imitated shapes of
b-usts. birds and even fishes, glittering
armors and cheap dominoes wore mot ou
every hand. Some went to their frolic
singly, some in pairs or in groups of
varying size. Most were ou foot, but
many a gallant cavalier curveted along,
while vehicles of every sort, some richly
decorated, bore merry maskers, all for
getting the grim past *n the absorbing
frolic of the present.
Sidewalks everywhere were crowded
early in the day, and from many a bal
cony and window—notably in the less
pretentious residences of the American
city—peered piquant, pretty faces, in
tent on tho now novel revel and eager to
lose no jot of it all tho long day. To
these occasional cavaliers, more ambi
tions than their pedestrian co-maskers
and habited in best regality of cotton
velvet and glittering tinsel, waved guunt-
leted hands, checking their steeds long
enough to toss flowers or confetti at the
fair ones. And they would in turn re
ceive perhaps a flower—more probably* a
tissue paper cartridge loaded with flour
or a torpedo to explode before the horse's
nose.
Restaurants, cafes anil wine shops
threw wide tiieir doors, receiving liberal
patronage, for, numerous ns were the
maskers, tenfold greater was their al
fresco audience. The i ntiro (xipnla ion
seemed turned into thesirccts, and at any
unusual squeak of tin horns, or louder
heat of drums, patrons of cafes would
rush to the doors, fork in hand and
months full, to lose no point of passing
fun.
But of all lookers on none approached
for wide eyed wonder and absorbed curi
osity the federal soldiers of the city gar
rison. Composed of almost every nation
ality and coming from every city of the
Union, save those where mummery was
bom almost with the century, tins pub
lic masquerade was to them inexplicable
as interesting. And very wistfully they
gazed, too; for the spirit of universal
mummery has in it strung infection, and
they could not yield to it. Strict orders
Lad been issued I hat no soldier should
mask, or disguise his uniform, under any
pretext, and only officers olf duty were
permitted that privilege, after formal re
port of intention to their commanders.
The general was a true soldier, and he
justly realized the serious results possible
to chance from a mixture of differing and
discordant elements, under the tempta
tions and novel conditions of the incog
nito.
“By Jove! the general's head is level as
possible ou all matters of discipline,” our
irreprc.-oible major of the quartermaster's
department enunciated to a group of dis
guised officers in Gen. Everett’s garden
about nooa. The major had removed his
ample mask, but ruefully regarded its
flattened nose, as he tiirew b ock the hood
of a flaring red domino. “Why, Arnold,
suppose a lot of ignorant soldiers had
been caught, as we were, under that
balcony on Rampart street!”
“I don't think the results would have
been battle, murder and sudden death,”
laughed the rdd-de-camp, mopping his
brow, after removing his mask. “But
you should have seen the major bear
himself, general. Ho ii ns great in pilot
ing green hands through carnival as he
is at ordering a breakfast.”
“Oh, I'm an old masker," answered
the major, complacently. “When I was
a brevet at Fort Pike, in the forties, I
used to run down here and attend the
masked balls at the old Hotel St. Louis!
Ah, my boy, those were days! But that
was hot work under the balcony."
“Rather," put in the junior aid.
•‘Why, general, the major led a charge
on a bevy of the pretFest girls and l»om
barded them till our flowers were gone.
They returned the fire with flour car
tridges and torpedoes, and when we
turned to retreat a crowd of a dozen har
lequins charged us with bladder clubs
and routed us utterly.”
“It was hot!” grumbled the major.
“Look at tho nose of that mask, sir!
And I believe those cartridges had pep
per in them. One of the cursed things
got down my back, and it is tingling
now.”
“Well, I’ve had enough of the fun,"
said Col. Barnes dryly, wriggling out of
a long gray domino. “I’ve read of car
nivals for years: but 1 never expected to
fly about in a mask and pelt strange
young women with flowers. Hang it!
if Mrs. Barnes gets hold of the story!”
•‘Pshaw, man!” retorted the major,
•‘do not desert us. We've only seen the
beginning of the fun yet. And, Bale,
are you not going in for a trial?”
“Hardly in that way, major." Everett
answered! “It is a trifle infra dig. to
ride steeple chases, and I may as well iet
masking alone. But really I believe 1
enjoy the day better as a looker on. Like
Barnes, I was most eager to see a Creole
carnival; but the reality exceeds any
fantastic thing I had imagined."

asked the major if he was rested.

“I know it!” Dale answered frankly,
grasping the major's not over clean
hand. -“But the horse won the race—
not I. Come, Barnes, well follow these
revelers at a distance and not loee the
sights ontside."
“That is a magnificent animal of yours,
general.” Col. Baines said, as they fol
lowed the maskers to the gate. "Singular
name yon gave him, though.”
“Oh, that was the Point name for u:y
chum,” Dale answered. “The class
called us David and Jonathan, and the
yearling colt was a graduation present
from my mother. 1 named him after
Latour, and I have always been glad of
it when I mounted him for a fight”
“ Was your friend killed?" asked the
colonel, who was not sentimental.
"No, thank God!" Bale answered
earnestly. "I heard yesterday that he
was safe and well, and he outranked me
wlien his side lost.”
“He was a rebel?" Barnes queried, in
surprise.
“He was a major general in the Con
federate army,” Everett replied, with
emphasis.
Barnes made no answer. He was, ns
he described himself, “Cape Cod born,”
and he had his prejudices, underscored
by u Minie ball. But he was talking to
his ranking officer, and a jiassing rush
of maskers changed the subject apro
pos.
The carnival was at its acme now.
Even greater crowds than before
streamed down the cross streets and
overflowed into Caurd. Costumes of
every shape and color mingled with the
every day dress, makiugashifting kaleid
oscope in the bright sanshine, and over
the tramp of many feet, and the shrill
treble assumed for better disguise of the
maskers, floated constant, happy laugh

came in eight of the Clay statue. Around j so attempting, could so succeed',
it a huge throng had collected. Colonels
of several regiments had ordered their
bands to different points to aid the pub
lic holiday; and the magnificent one of
the Ninety-sixth infantry was giving a
concert here. Every age and color were*
seen in the unmasked faces—the ebon,
shiny skin of the negro, the swart Diego,
and the bright lemon skin of the quad
roon. Old, crumpled faced French
women led chubby children along; the
fresh skinned Irish woman dandled her
babe in vigorous arms; while pale, fair
octoroons, tastefully and quietly dressed,
leaned on tho arms of dandy young men
why might have passed for club men on
Broadway, or petits creves on the
Champs Elysees. Masker* here, as every
where, in numbers; and a goodly sprink
ling of bluejackets dotted the crowd,
the faces of their wearers ever showing
amused interest.
The band was playing a popular
waltz, the heads and feet of the music
loving natives keeping time. And here
and there, in the limited sDace. fantastic
dancers whirled in grotesque measure,
aided by the Harlequin or Pirerot dresses
they wore.
“A womVrfal people, these," Everett
said, quietly. “Who wcuid think, to
walk these streets to-dny, that this pop
ulation was just rising from the set back
of a terrible defeat? Who could dream
of the material loss it has suffered—of
the agony and susp^se endured—of the
hopes that are ashes and tho future that
is—wliat?”
"The mercurial temperament,” Barnes
answered, again from far Cape Cod
“They are French, and a Frenchman
would dance on his grandmother's grave.
I roe nothing very wonderful, general,
in tiieir en joying the first holiday they
have had since the obsequies.”
“People that react as X have noticed
these southerners do,” Dale answered,
“have loo much elasticity to be conquer
ed. Wo have beaten them, but they
will teach ns a great lesson yet in their
conduct under defeat. I don't think yon
appreciate them, Barnes."
“Perhaps I do not,” tho other answered
dryly. “I have no friends in the Con
federate army.”
Jnst then the band broke into a med
ley of national airs. The “MarseilKise"
swelled out, blending into “God Save
the Queen;” that in turn losing itself in
the new “Wacht am Rhein.” Suddenly,
picked up by the piccolo, “Dixie”—the
tune adopted by Abraham Lincoln—
shrilled out loud and clear. In a second,
even before the crowd caught the infec
tious thrill, the blue coated boys gave
voice, and then came cheers and cries
from every throat in the crowd to al
most drown the music. Again “Dixie”
swelled lend and clear; again the wild
applause rang out, dying as the music
softened and almost ceased, only to rise
loud and defiant as “Yankee Doodle”
trotted in upon his unmusical “little
pony."
This time the crowd needed no cue,
the stilling voices rising into a roar
louder if possible than before, and sus
tained nutil the brief strain died out.
Again the cries swelled out, aided by
hands and feet and shout of “Bis!" “En
core!” and tho rival battle pieces had to
be played again and again.
Everett slipped bis arm into the colo
nel's as they turned away.
“No, you do uot understand these
people. Neither does our general, I
fear. If we will let it be so the war is
over!”
As night fell the carniv;*] was in full
blast, for all recalled that at the first
stroke of midnight masks must be tossed
aside and theoretic sackcloth replace the
motley.
Through the dusk many hued cos
tumes tilled the eye with color; the high,
squeaking treble of maskers’ disguise
piped above music, laughter and the om
nipresent tin horn; old time acenes of
peace were re-enacted in the very -enter
of warlike occupation, and the evening
air was glad with passing maskers' songs.
And still the most interested and most
wistful of al! observers were the Fed
eral*—men and officers off duty. Every
where they mingled in the throng, giv
ing and taking chaff with high good
humor and equal regret that their gen
eral’s order forbade participation. For
in nil that revived revel not one unto
ward incident, not one rude act even,
had been reported; and the fears of the
timid were wholly set at rest by the in
born courtesy and tact of the creole.
And now the throngs began to form
spontaneously in order, lining the sides
of Canal street in dense masses, added
to each instant from the emptying
houses and by fresh crowds pouring down
the aide streets.
The Krewe was coming!
Ushered in by rosy glow of distant,
pulsing light and softened blare of
brsaen march advanced that strange

“Singular people, these Creoles!” the
general remarked to a brilliant party on
his balcony. "A pretty affair; but, poor
as they are, I can’t see why they throw
away thousands on a useless show.”
“I harri’j- think it useless," Dale Ever
ett answered quietly. "It strikes me
that this Krewe of Comns teaches deep
lessons to itspublle. and that they not
only enjoy tut understand them.”
“I hope, they do,” the commander re
plied blu itly. “But is there another
people under the sun who, under such
circumstances, would attempt it?"
“Probably not,” the Puritan soldier
answered. “But is there another that.
