In dazzling drcles. Study hart the picture; then Nhut your eyetnuit revel in the memory of the brief paat. ShorL he years and fewaince the cnt came back to earth. Rich thoHe yenra in results.Sweet the perfumo that rises from nights "on the roof." Out from

i our memory has gone the torture and the anguish, leaving there- I only renIleitinns nf delight. \V sp, tlism'keof torinentno more,

lint in its tend comes the smoke from lips that have breathed forthoaths of humility. The reeling wreaths from the cigars of comrndosthrift hiero and there. They mingle with the fancies in our braiis.Smoke io the subtle conveyor of misty pictures along the vastecarrier of our thoughts. Drifting in and out come the pleasant,even though somewhat dicordnnt tones of musical hunibermen.Gone froiii the heart are the troubhes of life and the struggles forbread. Plie slat, pile is no more; the big pile of 2x4-8 is gone;the bund saw need not be replaced now ; put off are ahh presentneeds; the pay-roth cnn wait; oven the pretty typewriter in tueothlie is forgotten ; the loieos on bud accounts vanish ; the buzz ofthe rotary is only a pIoncent undertone to the grand music thatIliemory is playing in our ears. It is the voices of the concatene.tii,ii. 'Fue winds hijow lint from one quarter, unii they bring onlyodors from the spice lands. Tim big clock iiiay strike 1.2-34-5.6-7.8-9, hut it disturbs iii not ; it is hut beating tuno to the March ofMemory. 'h'he black cat is purring in our ear. We feel its eheetricpower. 'flic sphìinx look ii. in her eye. Her fur is as soft ne thehinir of our first sweethieart, ¡1er whiskers tickle our nose and wecoule leiik to every day thoughts. The cat sits on the cohnmn,statuesque and silent. 'rim engraving Ic a fact, not n fancy. Ittells a longstory to all who hayo been '' on the roof."
