Part of the shining day she seems, But more divene than all its splendor; Like some fair light that shines in dreams, So softly bright, so sweetly tender; The glow upon the rounded cheek, The lisping voice in broken sweetness, More life and love and joy bespeak Than all the summer's rich completeness, And yet- alas! the woeful chance That comes to dim the moment's pleasure! all boys under the age of fifteen years to vacate the streets after 8:30 o'clock p. m.

Famous Popular Songs. The St. Louis Republican farniahea an account of the origen of many popular songs. The following incidentR seem to us interesting, some of which are old and some new: "The Old Oaken Bucket" was written by Woodworth in New York City daring the hot summer of 1317. He came into the house and drank a glass of water, and then said, "How much more refreshing it wonld be to take a long drink from the old oaken bucket that used to hang in my father's well." His wife suggested that it was a happy thought for a poem.

He sat down and wrote the song as we have it. 'Woodman, Spare that Tree," was the result of an incident that happened to Geo. V. Morris. A friend's mother had owned a little place in the country, which she was obliged poverty to sell.

On the property grew a large oak, whjch had been planted by his grandfather. The purchaser of the house and land proposed to cut down the tree, and Morris' friend paid him ten dollars for a bond that the oak should be spared. Morris heard the story, saw the tree and wrote the song. "Oft in the Stilly Night" was produced by Moore after his family had undergone appareotly every possible misfortune. One of his children died young, another went astray, and a third was accidentally killed.

"The Light of Other Days" was written to be introduced into Bolfe'a opera, "The Maid of Artois." The opera is forgotten, but the song still lives, and is as popular as ever.

Over four hundred thousand copies were sold by the firm that first published it, and the author in Raid to have received fifteen thousand dollars for his share in its sale. "Rock Me to Sleep" was written by Mrs. Allen, of Maine. She was paid five dollars fsr it; and Russell A of Boston, who had in three years gained four thousand dollars by its sale, offered her live dollars apiece for any songs she might write. "A Life on the Ocean Wave," by Epes Sargent, was pronounced a failure by his friends.

The copyright of the song became very valuable, though Sargent never got anything for it himself.

"Poor Jack" netted twenty-five thousand dollars for its publishers, and almost nothing for its author. "Star of the Summer Night," a very famous song, especially for serenaders, was written by Alfred H. Pease, the noted pianist, whose sad death in St. Louis a few months ago was so greatly deplored by his friends.

"Lore's Young Dream" was one of Moore's best, but the tune to which it is commonly sung is from an Irish balled called "The Old Woman." Moore sang his own songs well that both his auditors and himself were often moved to tears. Onoe, when he was singing this song, a lady who heard him implored him to stop. "For Heaven's sake, stop! This iB not good for my soul." "Auld Robin Gray" was the work of Lady Anne Lindsay, who tells a curious story of the circumstanoes of its composition.
