Straight her kisses bringing me again. Ballad — "Meeting and Parting," P. la Villa MISS INEZ MECUSKER. Oh bright the sky above me. And sweet the words you say, You promise now to love me, Till life's remotest day : But tiitie has many changes And love may soon be o'er, Some day we'll part as strangers, 'J'o meet, ah, never more ! You clasf) me to your bosom. With kisses warm and sweet. And life is in its blossom, And joy and hope complete. But charms are frail and fleeting. And love has flown before. In vain your soft reproving, Tho' skies are summer fair ; The heart forgets its loving. When winter chills the air, Some day you'll scarce remember The happy days of yore. On the March," V. E.

Ballad— "Tit for Tat," Henry Pont et MISS INEZ MECUSKER. If you cross the hill, by my father's n?ill. And walk along the fields about a mile, Hy the willow copse, where the pathway stops, You'll find a very high and awkward stile ; It has four high steps so widely set, To cross it by myself I am afraid, I never dare that way repair. Unless at hand I've strong and friendly aid. 'Twas there one day in the month of May, I met a loving lad. And in my sweetest tones 1 asked him would he mind, would he be so very kind, As to help me over those four awkward stones? He helped me one. he helped me two. And then to my surprise I ■ paused and said ; "Rose, I love you!" I (jnly laughed; " Rose, do you love me?" I said " Not I." "Then stay where you are, sweetheart," said he, And lutned away without another word ; I could not get up or down in my fright. What was I to do in such a sad antl sorry plight ? " Come back, comi; back," I wddly cried, " Come back I want to go to town, " If you'll help me o'er the stile, you'll gain my sweetest smile, " And pe.-haps I'll tell you more when I am down." He helped me three, he helped me four, Tlicii with a lauii'i. I hounded lightly o'er; "Rose what say you?" I only laughed; " Ros*-, you promised." I said, "Not I." I told him to stav where he was just then. And tripped away without another word ; He did not get up. he did not go down. Hut sat upon the stile, looking at me with a frown ; And if you cross the hil!, and walk about a mile, I think you'll find him sitting on that self-same stile. {(a) "Merry ^.lay,". v....... ( Franz Abt \(b) "Towers the Lofty Battlements Crowning,". H. Werner THE LONDON ARION CLUB. Rippling brook, what glads thee so, Bubbling, leaping, mi-rm'ring low, Lightly throwing silv'ry spray, O'er the banks so green and gay ? List'ning flow'retr vll are waiting, For the news I'm gv relating. Joyous May has now arrived. Warbling larks in sunny rays, Whv so clear your joyful lays, Singing, rising, ah. so high. Out of ken of every eye ? We to heaven alone must bring It, Yea, to list'ning clouds must sing it, Joyous May has now arrived. Why my heart dost beat so free. Say, what fills thee so with glee, Bounding as if far away. Thou wouldst meet the coming day ? Let me beat with joy and pleasure, Joys of freedom have no measure. Now sweet May at last is come. Towers the lofty battlements crowning, Maidens, although with pride ever frowning, Viuory darinjj, efforts unsparing, amply repay. Gaily the trumpets sound for recruiting, Sound for our pleasures slashing and shooting. Victory gaining, danger disdaining. Maidens and walls by conquest obtaining. These can our efforts amply repay. Proudly the soldiers then march away. Honor and freedom victory lending. Peoples oppressed from tyrants defending. Vengeance unsparing fall on the daring cause of the fray. Then to the trumpet's summons attending. Wrongs soon avenging, death is descending. Though the defence is wild resolution. Vainly offences brave retribution, Nought the indignant champions can sway. Proudly the soldiers then march away. Piano Solo— "The Royal Polish 'olonaise," Chopin ^ The pageant of Poland's king sweep, g in stately procession up the aisle of the Cathedral. MR. W. WAUGH LAUDER. \(a) "Dear Maid," Z. de Call I (b) "The Equinox," ..C. Kreutzer ^ THE LONDON ARION CLUB. Dear maid, of Fortune's smiles beware. Nor heed her flatt'ring tongue ; She lures thee off to haunts of care Where sorrow fills the song. Ah ! what are all her piles of gold. Can those old Care control ? Though splendor vast thine eyes behold, 'Twill ne'er inspire the soul. To love alone thy homage pay. The queen of true delight ; Her smiles of joy shall gild the day And bless the dreams of night. Hark ! the storm, how it howls ; Se th e waves ho a- they threaten destruction I therald of joy ! ( blooming Springtime is near.

Then haste to the dance. Dearest maiden dance with me, Canst thou refu.se me? wilt thou not choose me? Come, U come, and join the dance. While we enjoy it may, let us be gay. Wh.it 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. Dearest 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, dance. Now the festive dance is o'er, Grant, sweet enslaver, only one favor. But one rose— I'll ask no more, Oive me as pledge of thine thou wilt be mine. Now the gay, festive hour at an end, T.et us homeward wend, And to each one a parting Good-night, Fare thee well.
