Awake, 0 beautiful Hesperus !
Awake ! for the day is done,
' And the royal purple curtains are drawn
Round the couch. of the sleeping sun;
There is a bush on the blooming earth,
And a bush on the beating sea,
And silence too in the courts of Heaven,
For the stars all wait for thee,
Hesperus!
All things beautiful and for thee.
n.
’Tis the hour for faucy’s fairy reign,
When the glowing brain is fraught
With visions of beauty, and bliss and love,
That leave no room for' thought ;
With the light of warm and glorious dreams,
This narrow chamber is bright,
And I nc'ed but thee to sing with me,
O sweetest, poet of night! ,
Hesperus
Open thy volume of golden light.
In.
There may I read of the youth of old.
Who clambcred the mountain height.
And talked with stars in the midnight hours
Till he faded from human sight— ’
Till his brow grew bright with wonderful
light, ' ‘,
And away from the world’s rude jars,
He was lost in the beams of his radiant
dreams, .
And himself was the fairest of stars,
Hesperus !.
The best beloved of the stars! !
W. 0
There may I read the legend rare,
And its beautiful meaning learn,
While my soul, new-kindled to hopes divine,
With a holy fire shall burn.
O ! never should human heart despair
Of the presence of God on high—
0 ! never should human faith grow dim,
While the stars are in the sky!
Hesperus!
Thy voice is the voice of Eternity!
V.
Thou art smiling down on one Hesperus,
With that smile upon my heart,
I know that kindred tome and mine
In those measurcless heights, thou art.
When thy spirit blossomed intoa star,
. In the mystical days of old,
'The love and the hope it bore on high,
The legend hath never told.
Hesperus! .
Thy sweetest story hath never been told.
VI.
0 to be like thee—Hesperus !
To climb the heights Oftrutb,
And there to drink of celestial airs,
And to glow with immortal youth ;
There wrapt in. the light which is born in'
skies, '
Where the blessed angels are, -
To hear Earth'sharmonics only, rise
Floating sweetly from afar !
Hesperus !
How can my spirit become a star ?

She suspected that Dc Lisle loved her mis-

“Sometimes I do not," replied Roget au-
‘ grily, further mutilatlng the unofl'cnding plant
by crushing it with his foot. “ So, it is settled
is it? She is sold to him ?"
“ Sold !” exclaimed the maid, wonderingly.
“Yes, yes—to be married, I mean to this
old Duke.”
“Old—you are mistaken,” said the maid;

“ You must be mistaken," said Roget.
“No—I have seen him.”
“ Then Iwill wait until Therese returns,"
he. said deliberately.”
“ But ma‘mselle will not return to-dny,per-

manner.
“Permit Inc to cntcrthcstudy—I will write

rounded—touched the strings of her guitar

Placing an ivory folder across the li

“he is every whit as young and handsome as,
You see a man in despair !" exclaimed the
singer. ' . ‘
“ We are well met, then,” wasDe Lisle’s
answer; “but what has happened 1’”.
“_ They have given-Lute something to sing
III-night, so tame! so flat!"- so spirnless! that
I can never get throiigh with it, It is an ‘Ode
to Glory.’ Fancy me making wry faces at it
and over it. I have hammered it every way,
but can make nothing of it. The notes will
stick in my throat, to say nothing of the words
which are detestable.” .
. “ Exploin the circumstances, said De Lisle;
It was done. ‘ ‘ ' ' '

my country—dearer to me to-day, this hour,
than ever she was before. Hencefortb-she is
my lover, "my glory, my bride! » To-night
you shall sing a song of mine that will move
all, France. Do you believe me ‘2”
“ Judging by your appearance just now,
yes—but Roget, my dear fellow, what has
happened? Any new trouble?”
“My mother—I have lost her,” said Roget,
chokingly, alter a moment’s pause. Then
grasping hard the hand of De Thalg, be ad-
ded, “ It is new one o’clock; come to my
rooms at six; I will write the song, or die.”
' He was gone. De Thalg gazed after him,
impressed with the idea that his brain was
turned.
“I’ll go, however,” he murmured; “De
Lisle has, written some good things, and it
willdo no harm to humor his vagaries. Be-
sides, I must have the song.” . ,
' De Lisle rushed home. 5His sister met him
but drew back at. the appearance he present-
ed. His damp hair fell in disordered masses
OVel' his temples—his eyeswere gloomy.
- '“ You are ill,” my brother,”'said Emily.
.“ Ill—40h, no; I am not ill.” ‘
“Yes, you are: ' Let me take your hand.—
It is so hot !’—your forehead looks feverish.—
YOu shall go to bed; and I will nurse you,”
“ o bed? No, Emily—if I should go to

Emily, you at least will never desert your un
fertunate brother—now go; I will rest for a.
moment.”
' He threw himself face downward on a
' couch smothering a sigh as he did so.
“ There must be :s'o'mething wrong,” said
Emily, as she turned, with pallid face, to obey
his Orders. -‘ ‘ .
Soon Jean brought the four candles into
the study. He was no more curious than he
had ever been. ' Impassivc as ablock of mar-
ble;'h'e made an excellent valet. Roget en-
tered. " ' ‘
’“ Shut the blinds and pull the curtains
down,” was the" next orda.
It was done. '
Now bring dummy rifle—place it against
the table. That is well. Is there a flag in '
the lIouse,‘Jean”:?”'
“ Yes, sir.” 3
“ Bring it here.” '
The man Obeyed, unfurled it, and hung it
over against the window.
“Jean, I hear'you drumming sometimes.“
“ Yes, sir,”‘9hid‘ the man, bashfully.
“ You area good drummer, Jean, and you
will favOr me'if you practice this afternoon.
Let it be in your own apartment.”
The man withdrew, grinning delightedly.
If he had a Weakness, it was drumsticks. .
All was again~ silent. The banner of
France hung nerveless ;. the rifle stood harm-
lessly where it had been placed. Up- and
down the darkened room strodeR'oget dc
Lisle, an unwanted fire in his eye, his soul
struggling to defy his mistress, and Ethrill the
world, , '
, Presently he seated himself .The roll of
countless vehicles afar ofi‘, sounded like the
continuous thunder 0f distant artillery; and
muffled by the intervening space, Jean’s spir-
ited execution suggested the march of an
army. The flag, to his excited imagination,
shook its blood-red folds to the shout of vic-
tory; the rifle scorned an impersonation of
War. The hot enthusiasm glowing in his soul
radiated outwards, and encircled him 'with a
halo finer than the surrounding atmosphere.
It glowed with a pale lambent light in which
his face looked inspired
' The first pulse in the heart of a new birth
had begun with a martial beat—
“ Ye sons of France, awake to glory 1”
On he wrote, with fiery eye and laboring
breath, until; springing to his feet, and clasp-
ing his hands, he cried out with a shout—
., “I have-done it! Thanksto you, Therese,

lmanuscripts, and emerged once more into
. the light of day, He called his sister, requir-
ing her, to bring some ruled paper.
i “ I am going to compose," he said, “ and
5 wish you towritc the harmony.”
. “ But you are thau'sted; will you not rest?"
.. she asked,-anxiously. ' .
‘ “Not 'yet; - I shall rest, when my work is
i done,” he said, hurriedly, as he sat down to
the instrument and struck‘chord alter chord.
“ I have it—so! Mark that l” he cried,
every, few moments; and in an almost incred-
ible brief time, the song was finished.
Roget ‘de’ Lisle had . woven in every note
the undying record of his fame.
At six'came De Thalg, an unbeliever; in
ten minutes he was converted. -
“ It is sublime !” harried, entraptured.—
“ What. fire! .what spirit! what pathos, too
shall I not throw into- this inimitable compo-
sition. It thrills my,blood to read it. What
will it do .when I see around me the assembled

can play it at sight.” _.
That evening Therese was at the opera.—
She had returned at ‘an‘early hour. Her
maid not only related her interview with De
' Lisle, but commented on :5 the agitation of his
countenance. Therese listened with white
cheeks—her very heart trembled within her.
Diamissing, her maid, she read. the missive
directed to her, again and again she pe-
rused the billet, comprehending nothing.
“ I have recevied no note l” she exclaimed,
excitedly; what mistake has hampened i—

.on the threshhold .the nobleman came to
How have I forfeited my word ? He has
heard this foolish, false rumor, that I am af-
fianced to the Duke. What can I do? how
explain ?”
Her distress and uncertainty were pitiful.
Her maid entered.
“Ma’mselle, monsieur your uncle expects
you to be ready for the opera at eigh 3’
“ Stay—carry my regrets; say that I cannot
go,” cried Therese, sinking tremblingly upon
the nearest seat. “ Wait—I countermand the
order; 'I had forgotten. the Duke expects to
accompany me. Oh! what shall I do ‘3”—
She bowed her head upon her hands, firget-
ful of her maid’s presence, unmin'dfiil of her
sympathetic face. '
‘“ Ma’mselle' has still four hours,”~ ventured
the latter, not well-knowing what to say.
“Four hours; that is some time; you may
go Frances ;” she looked at. her watch, seized
a pen still marked with the ink which De
Lisle had used. She wrote many notes, and
destroyed them, but finally contented herself
with a short but comprehensive sentence.

. A servant was called.
“ Take this directly to Monsieur de Lisle’s
rooms; see it placed in his hands.”
The man had gone before she remembered
what covered her with confusion.
De Lisle had been on a journey; he had
brought back a lady—it might be—his wife.
Yet, if so, what meant his impassioned note
to her?
Her maid came in again.
“Ma’msellc—the Duke is below and wishes
to see you.”
“I cannot meet him, Frances; I am in a
fever.”
“1 would suggest that ma’msellc bathe her
face and take a composing powder," said the
girl. ‘
“ Tell the Duke I will be down presently,"
said Therese, and making a great effort, she
prepared to enter a presence that had now be-

and as they were seated he said,

“ My forgiveness ?”
“ Ma’msclle, dear lady, I have deceived
you." '
She withdrew from his side alarmed.
“ I am not the Duke dc Volney."
“ Who then are you ?” articulated Therese
startled quite out of composure.
“His nephew, Marquis dc Volncy," was
the reply. “ Let me explain. My uncle
wished to marry you—he saw your portrait
in Marseilles at the house of your relative,
and from that moment more than admired
you. He sent to apprise your mole of his

taken ill. I was in his confidence,having sus-

Therese sat quietly and listened after that

morrow. , '

The little note was placed in Roget De
Lisle’s hand just as De Thalg, his face all
aglow, his precious music hugged to his breast
was preparing to leave.
D'e Lisle trembled as he glanced at it, his
manner hurried the singer away. .The note
was read. _
“What is it now, Roget? You look likean
illumination,” said his sister.
“Because I found a light here which I
have placed in my heart,” replied De Lisle,
tapping the little note. “Come,” he added,
exultantly, “prepare for the opera. I have
engaged at central box—you shall share my
glory.
“I cannot think what has happened to
you,” said Emily, with a mild, sweet serious-
ness. . .
She was bending over a little box full of
trinkets. Suddenly she paused, looked up
quite frightened, lifted an envelope.
“Oh, Roget, I forgot this, it came in the
morning, and your manner, when you return-
ed, discomposed me. What shall I do it was
important!"
Dc Lisle. opened it; out fell a separate note.
He picked it up; it was the explanatory mes-
sage he had thought Therese received. The
following words accompanied it:
“As your musical correspondent, I was
rather astonished to receive the enclosed, and
concluded that, in a fit of inspiration, you
had mistaken my sex and vocation. I have
been absent, and it has lain with other letters
till yesterday. Present my regards to the
real Mademoiselle Therese.
Truly, etc, etc."
“Was it veryimportant?“ asked Emily,
nervous with apprehension.
“Not worth a thought, love, never mind it.
Come, you have. only a little time to pre-
pare." ‘
Amid the crowds of splendid beauty, none
so inimitably lovely as Therese Lon‘gueville.
On one sid'e sat her uncle, on the other, the
Marquis de Volney. Theresa’s scat wasnear—
ly opposite that of De‘Lisle’s; the curtain in
the box of the latter was but" half drawn—
Emily was so young, so timid!
Presently the Marquis said :
. “ A very fresh and delicate beauty. Do
you take notice of the young lady opposite, in
blue ?”
Therese raised her opera glass, not because
it was needed, but it was fashionable. She
turned pale, for the “fresh, delicate beauty”
sat by the side of Roget De Lisle.
“It is true, then,” she thought, her heart
sinking, “ Roget Dc Lisle is a dcceiver.”
As she spoke thus,'Emily’.s“ glance was in-
tent upon her, and Roget was earnestly talk-
ing‘ in praise of the peerless Therese. She
thought—“He mocks ruse-he laughs at me ;”
and held her head proudly.
from the orchestra. All wandering attention
was fixed; beauty and valor alike sat spell-
bound. Thcrc was a sound as of the tapping
ofexquisitc fans and the beat of delicate feet,
following the vibration of the instruments. ‘
Then came that glory of Frenchmen:
“La Marsellaz'se!
As with united impulse, the whole theatre
arose. Loud m’vas of of applause followed.—
Cheeks were flushed that seldom changed
color. Many bosoms throbbed with wonder,
exaltation and enthusiasm. It was electric.
A thousand pulses throbbed as one. As was
remarked, France vibrated in every chord.—
ed.
Behold both in one !
Roget De Lisle advances, pale,of statuesque
beauty, With glances cast down. Emily,
breathless, trembles in almost a delirium of
love and rapture. Therese glows with a no-
ble pride, in which jealousy is forgotten.
How handsome .he looked! his troubles
vanished—his immortality begun. They
throw flowers—the place is in a tumult of
admiration t0 the end. Henceforth he has
neither to “labor” or to “wait” for fame. She
has crowned him her favOritc. '
The crdwd emerged into the brilliant halls,
As theyghad sat, facing each other, so they
met, Emily and Therese, face to face, (Emily
sparkling, Therese whitc,) De Lisle and the
Marquis.
Every eye was fastened upon the young
composer. Therese was not unwilling to
recognize the observed of all observers,
though when she prescntcdliim to ‘the Mar-
quis, her voice nearly failed her, and her eyes
grew dim.
“Allow me to introduce to you my only
sister, Emily." . '
Oh, to see the change that came to the cold
beauty! the form straightening, the eye grow—
ing liquid with surprise, with new confidence,
thccheck flushing! To see how eagerly the
little childish hand-Of Emily was caught and
held, while a glance (but how shall I describe
it!) passed between Therese and Roget Dc
Lisle. Perhaps no other car heard the low
sentence that arrested Therese's attention as
they separated, " A Longuevillc. never for-
feits her word,” nor the lower reply, “never!"

The meeting at the Academy of Music last

audience I have ever seen gathered in this
great city, where there is so much of cultiva-
tion and intelligence.
For the hour, political warfare was hushed
The voice of the partizau was silent. Men
of different opinions and creeds, and of vari-
ous views of public policy, had comeiup to
worship at the altar of Genius, elected over
the new made grave of one of our country—
men, whose “ Pen was mirrhticr than the

the finest word painting, the rich humor and
the polished with the relished satire—the
fun provoking mirth—of Irving's earlier wri~
tings——and the sublime and touching tender-
ness and melancholy of the children of his

rife with well earned fame, and all people had
crowned him with the laurelwreath of intel-

all with his Life of Washington and thus per-
petuate the virtues, the deeds and good name
of the “Father ol‘his Country” as, longas the
English language shall be spoken or written

There were many tearful eycs,as Mr.Bryant
described with the beauty of the Poet's pen,
the death of “Irving’s atfianced bride,” Af-

reach of his bedside, was found an old, well
worn copy of the Bible, hearing her name,
written in a delicate female hand. This was
his constant companion," To him what a
priceless treasure! Who does not believe
that they are happy now in that “ better land”
where there is naught but perpetual Youth,
and “ where there are no winds like those
which blow o’er the beautiful of earth.”
Mr. Bryant described the home life—the
sunny spirit—the genial nature, the playful
character of Irving, and the universal respect
and regard felt towards him by all the people
of his neighborhood, He was indeed a mod-
el man. . » ~ .
Fortunate indeed was the illustrious dead
to have such an Eulogist, as Mr. Bryant-'—
This of itself is sufficient Eulogy. It Is high-

I know not how to speak of Wilham Cul-

Lincoln, of Illinois, when he said to me, “ It
is well worth a journey from Illmors to New
York to make the acquaintance of such a man
as Mr. Bryant.”
The speech of Mr. Everett was most hapgy
and eloquent. I have never heard Mr. .
when he was so earnest and animated. His
speech was full of beauty, rich with illstration
and adorned with all his classic decorations,
the workmanship of a perfect master.
