Onward roaming, never weary, Over hills and mountains dreary. Be it night or lie it d.-iy. Singing merrily we stray While the echoes loud and long. From the rocks repeat our song Aiaha, ia, iaha. , Oft the bounding roe we follow Through the tangled brake or hollow. Where the eagle wings his flight, There we scale the giddy height, While the woods and vales among, Kcbo still repeats our soni;, Aiaha, ia, iaha. " Yes, Let me Like a Soldier Fall," { Maritana) MR.

Merrily her warbling rang, tra la la. Fair your flowers, sweet child, I said, Fresh and Tair and fragrant, too ; But your cheeks are rosier red. And your eyes a brighter blue. Then her pretty curls she shook, Heeding not my words or look. Laughing turned and went her way, Still singing her merry lay. No, no, for sweeter far. The woodland flow'rs than jewels arj.

Ah ! little thought the hapless maid in inoocence arrayed, What she in her breast now nurtured would ardent love become ; And thus perturb the peaceful current of her life. O balmy April, who the bloom of faded flowers restores!, Kiss her fair cheek, and a sigh of .-tfTeclion her breast shall disclose. Vainly do I implore that she a single word will utter. Her secret woes to me she fain would not reveal ; One glance of mine with trouble her tender heart distresses. (a) " When the Hues of Daylight Fade," Reissiger (b) " Sleeping, Why Now Sleeping?" Stirling THE LONDON ARION CLUB. When the hues of daylight fade. O'er the bosom of the deep. When the breezes through the shade, Murmur faintly as in sleep. When the dew is on the grass, And the moonlight on the tree. Softly, softly will 1 pass. Softly steal, my love, tu thee. Sleeping, why now sleeping? The moon herself looks gay, While through the lattice peeping. Will not her call obey '•. Wake, love, wake. Each star is beaming For thee its brightest ray, And languishes the gleaming From fire-flies now streaming Athwart the dewy spray. Awake, the skies are weeping Because thou art away. Hut if of me tholi'rt dreaming. Sleep, loved one, while you may. Wake, love, wake. Music's wings shall hover, Softly thy sweet dreams o'er And fanning dark thoi ghts away, While de.irest 'tis thy lover Who'll bid each bright one stay. "Regnava nel 'aWtwzio" ( Lucia di Lainmermoor) . . . . MISS INEZ MECUSKER. . Donizetti hofer Ries Regnava nel silenzio, Alta la notte e bruna, Colpia la fonte un pallido Raggio di tetra luna ; Qu^ndo un somnesso gemito Fra I'aure udir si fe ed ecco, Ecco su quel niargine. L'oinbra mostrarsi a me. Qiial di chi paria inuo versi 11 labro suo vedea, E con la inano esaiiiiiie, Chiamarml a se parea, Stette un moinento immobile, Poi ratla dileguo, E I'onda pria si limpida Ui sangue rosseggio si, priasi limpida. Ah, il presagio orrendo e questo I Cancellar dovreidal petto II fatale amato oggeto, Ma nol possa, egli e mia luce, E conforto al mio penar. Quando rapito in estasi, Del piu cocente ardore. Col favellar del core. Mi giura eterna fe. Gli aftani miei dimenlico, Gioja diviene il pianto, Parnii che a lui daccanto, Si schiuda il ciel per me. Par che si schiuda ! il ciel per me. Silent the sombre wings of night, Darkness around were spreading, While on yon fount, pallid beams of light Calm the wan moon was shedding. Sudden a wailing voice I heard Borne on the breeze of night, When, lo, there, by the fountain's marge, Rose up the shade. Thus as amazed her form I scann'd. Soundless her white lips e'en moving, Fell she to waving her lifeless hand, Sternly as though repioving; Motionless all awhile she stood, Then melted in the tide, While of that spring the limpid flood With crimson now was dyed.

While throuKh a valley I was straying, A rose fresh bloiiminii; mot my sij^ht. Such ample store of charms cItsplayiiiK, My bosom felt unknown delight. With fraRrant moss around it swelling. Appeared the gem of lustre mild, Oh ! ne'er from out a fairer dwelling I'he angel face of virtue smiled. A htraiigc yet pleasiiig sense came o'er nie, 1 felt new life within me bound, While 1, beheld the flow'r before me. Unwonted rapture then I foinid. That image fair of heavenly pleasure, Upon my heart is deeply traced, It is my bosom's dearest treastire, And never can it be edaced. When sorrow's cloiuls are round me low'ring, At once the rose's form appears, A charm each anguish overpow'ring. It stills my sighs, it ilries my tears. Oh ! flow'r that 'mid the darkness springing liy heav'ii's decree upon inc shone, To thee my heart is fondly clinging, .•Vnd will not cease till life is gone.

In language whose excess imparts The power they feel so well ; There may, perhaps, in such a scene, Some recollection lie Of days that have as happy been. And you'll remember me When coldness or deceit shalf slight The beauty now they prize, And deem it but a (ade'.l light Whii;b beams within your eyes — When hollow hearts shall wear a mask 'Twill break your own to see, In such a moment I but ask That you'll remember me. " Arion Waltz," F. A. Vogel THE LONDON ARION CLUB. Hark, h.irk, now rumbles the bass, Now haste the dancers to place. Then haste to the dance. Dearest maiden, dance with me, Canst thou refuse me? wilt thou not choose me? Come, O come, and join the dance, While #e enjoy it may, let us be gay. What were the world without dance? Circling round in mazy dance. Flashing eyes with pleasure glance. Making rapture, joy, heave every breast. From those lips so smiling. All my heart beguiling. Could I snatch one fond kiss, bliss indeed were mine. Pearest maiden dance ever with me, Thou, my loveliest maiden. With charms richly laden, With thee, mine alone, can I happy be. Soon ends the ball ; dance one and all. Dance, yes, tiaiice. Now the festive dance is o'er. Grant, sweet enslaver, only one favor. But one rose — I'll ask no more, Give me as pledge of thine thou wilt be mine. Now the gay, festive hour at an end. Let us homeward wend. And to each one a parting f»ood-night, Fare thee well.
