Monsieur Dafonte, who Iiad a Inrgo family and a small income, liircil tho upper Uoor of a largo building in Paris, nntl, to reduce his rent, underlet a room to young Monsieur Fernando, tho musical romiioser, of whoso compositions no one hnd yet heard anything. It was a littlo narrow room with ono very high window j but it had this ndvantago,ottt of this window ono could, at tho risk of breaking one's neck, catch agliinpso of tho beautiful prima donna, Mdlle. La C , cs sho fanned herself on tho balcony nf tho first floor. For this bcnsiblo reason had Fernando hired tho apartment. Ho wal lircadfully in lovo witii her, though thoV had never spoken to each other, nnd ho fondly nnd falsely believed she kncAV ho had thrown her boqucts nnd had given him special thanks for thctli against her pretty chin, and bowed her pretty head for them, and tmiled with tho beaming fmila of nn actress uwn tho audience. If over ho made his namo and fin-tune, then she should know; but not until then. So ho loved on in silence, nud worked nt his compositions, and oil-Ted them to pub lishcrsand had them "declined ivith thanks." Now and theiv, ofcouo ho sold a song, hut tho songs did not be'eomo Jionular, and ho must have starved to death but that ho now nnd then played on tho piano for somo dancing party. At tho host ho lived on bread., colleo and n lilllo soup. In his room ho had an old piano, a desk, chair, a meerschaum, and a littlo charcoal furnace. When ho had five francs in his pocket, and it was not rent day, ho felt rich. Mdlle. La C had every luxurious loungo and coach to bo bought for money. Sho lavished gold on her friends, hcrelf, on her pet iodIe, oil tho beggars who held out their crooked hands, and showed their dis torted faces at tho door of her house, as sho tripped Irom it lo tlio carnnge. : They said she. had been a peasant girl, whoo sweet voieo as sho stood sincimr nt the door of a littlo hut had caught tho ear of ft wealthy music-worshiper, who had her lAujjht in consequence. They tell such stories of so many prima ilonuns. "No ono ) vonld have guessed from her manner now ' that sho ever knew tho valuo of sou. Vet with all this extravagance sho Was growing 1 rich, and could mako a littlo fortuno in a hisht. j louncr, beautiful, adored, who could m happier? Al!d yet, though sho could sitig 61 divinely, sho could not llavo composed ono of those littlo songs which wero written ; in tho g.irrdt over her head; to savo her i bright young life. L'ach ono was a genVand ' proonoiy rernnnuo Knew it, ior genius ougnt to know its dwn work. Still, rattline marches, waltzes that wero the satno thing over again, nud bits from J w.eii-unown ttneras,twiteii into gallops, boiii; while his littlo songs lay neglected on tho j counter, and others never reached tho coun-1 t'rfr. boint? scorned from tho firfet bv liuhlisli- crs with no music in their souls, however much thero may havo been in their shops. If, indeed, somo well-known singer would liavo sung ono of them Mdlle. La C , for instance, then thero might havo been a change. Tho thought crept into poor Fer- riande's heart by degrees j at last it strength ened into a, resolve ; but It must bo tho Lest of all that lie should lay beforo his idol, tho Veiy best nothing elso would do. So ho Ivrolo in his attic room, tho poor composer, and below, tho happy song bird thrilled her song, and laughed and chatted, and was carelessly generous, and never even know of his existence, who evening alter evening, watched her, envied tho man who hail tho right to sit besiilo her, hold her fan, perhaps who knew her hand alsoj tho men ono of whom might otlo day holier favored lover. And sho enjoyed her happv hutterlly ciistenco nud knew nothing about him. At last, ill a fit of romantic influence, our coniioser tilrned et. lie wrote tho words of a snug Which ho called "Love's Hying Dream, mm no illicit it to nn air so sweet, so gentle, that, playing upon tho old piono, ho knew it to bo the best of all ho had over done the bright particular gem fit td lay beforo his lacyr. lie copied it out daintily ; ho wroto ft nolo with tho signature tif "An Admirer," ai'd re solved to leave it at her door and await tho result. "Ift should even hear her sing it I should be so happy," ho said to himself, "I should be willing 'to die." Whht strange things wo say sometimes I Did you over bay anything, not qnito mean ing it, that afterward proved itself true, though not ns you intended it? I have. And otto morning he said: " To-day I will do it," and with liesa words left his room. lie ran down stairs with a precious parcel In his hand, and stood beforo the door that led to Mdlle. La C 's suite of rooms with a palpitating heart. Ho had intended to knock and leavo tho jureel with a servant, but how unfortunate! tho door stood open. He would steal in aud put tho music on tho table, llo crept in ; ho laid tho parcel down sofllv, but as ho did so, his eyes fell uxm a, miniature. It wss ft wrlt-ait'of his divinity herself, ami it was set in costly gems. Theso ho neither noticed nor cared for. All he saw was tho sweet face, llo stooped over it j ho took it in his hand. " It is herself I" ho said. And I think ho would havo kissed it, but at tint moment ho heard a scream and a savngo growl. Ho turned. The scream camofrom Mdlle. La C , tho growl from a gentlamau ho accompanied her, and on tho instant two hands caino down on Fcrnatide's shoulder, nud tho nliniaturo was wrested from him'; " How careless of Auguste'said tho lady, ''to leavo tho door cticn for thieves to enter by." Tho gentleman" lustily tnllcit for help. Fernaihlo said nothing. Conscious of his position ho was stricken dumb, and it was as ono jussing through tho changing scones of n dream that ho knew himself tu bo ar rested aud cast into prison. t no prima uonna appoareu against mm when tlio timo came. Sho had found linn in her room. Ho had a valuable, ornament in his hand. Sho believed that ho intended to steal it. Sho had never seen him before. At this tho young man felt that it would bo well to be dead. Sho had never seen him before! It was all fancy. Ho had not caught her eye. She had not noticed him. Tho gentleman gavo his evidence, but ha was fierce, and called Fernando n. thief and a rascal, and Fernanda could only say ho was not euiltv. Ho would not even brinir bis rwpoctabflity forward by wmy of defcusa. " I am named Fernando, and I am twenty-three, and I am nothing and nobody." " This ho said when called upon lo account for himself, nnd nothing more, nnd ho was written down vngrant condemned to six mouth's hard labor as ft thief. Millie. La C went hoirio pouting and declaring that "sho hated to go lo such drend iul places." She nto a dellKhlfulluneh,and nfleiwflrd finding n packet .upon her table, opened it nntl read l ernandod anonymous note, nt which sho laughed nud hummed over the song, pronouncing it 'very pretty.' A few dnys alter sho practiced it, and on be ing encored ono night bethought her to sing it Poor Fernando I If ho could havo been there to haVo Keen how tho women went over his pretty littlo lay of lovo and death, and to havo heard how tho npplauso rang. After that tho manager besought Mada moisello to sing "Love's Vyinz Dream" every nightind the lady obeyed tho request. Amateur singers went mail over it, nnd it was published. Having tho namo of no composer upon it, it wai called Mdlle. La C 'a song, nnd by many was believed to bo her own, nnd it sold as never ft song sold before. Ono day, with ft party, sho visited tho prison whero Feniando was confined. Sho 6towl timid hcrlittlocircleofcavaliers, nnd said to ono in authority of tho place. "Whftt do theso peoplo liko? Shall I sing a love song?" " As Madambisello pleases," Eaid tho man. "Every 0110 understands that Ihemo." And Madamoisello smiled, nud triod her voieo with a little trill, nnd began poor Fcr natide's song, "Love's Dying Dream." Oh, tho eager, glittering cyc3 that watched her. Oh, thoflushed cheek tho lulrricd breath! Oh, tho mad throbbing; of tho heart of num ber twenty-four as ho whispered to himself i " It is my song I It is my song I" "What is tho matter?" whispered num ber twenty-thrco to number twenty-four.
