MOONLIGHT.
When I lie awake in the silent nic<n Ami the clo.-k ticks loml ia the ha:;. A brush that is dipped in silver liffht Paints pictures ran; on my wall; Dark clustering leai-ps an- sharply erehed, Ami delicate tangle* of vines, l-\i«v of dryads niid fauns ure sketched. And feathery Tjrancnai of pines. The ni'hr wind lilnws anil the drra<is dance, Vn.l "the w.inle-i hoofs of the fauns ilu'aud oik .>f t!i«- shadows glance ! On t.iie turf of wooillanU lawns. [And the snowy arms of a naiad >mne And draws on my chamber wall. -Minna living in "Jfew. lork Herald."
