Are all the Children in.
The darkness falls, the _wind is high,
Dense black clouds fill the western sky;
The storm will soon begin;
The thunder roars the lightning flash,
I hear the great round rain.drops dash—
Are all the children in ?
Theyr’e coming softly to my side;
Their forms within my arms I hide—-
No other arms are sure; .
The storm may rage with fury wrld, /
With trusting faith each little child
With mother feels secure.
But future days are drawing near—-
They’ll go from this warm shelter here
Out in the world's wild din;
The rain will fall, the cold winds blow,
I’ll sit alone and long to know
Are all the children in ?
Will they have shelter then secure,
Where hearts are waiting strong and sure, ‘
And love is true when tried?
Or, will they find a brokenreed,
When strength of heart they so much need,
To help them brave the tide ? -
God knows it all; His will is‘ best;
I’ll shield them now and yield the rest
In His most righteous hand;
Sometimes souls he loves are riven
By tempeSts wild, and thus are driven
Nearer the better land.
If He should call us home before
The children go, on that blessed shore,
Afar from core and sin,
I knowithat I shall watch and wait
Till He, the keeper of the gate,
Lets all the children in.

PARTY," “run smar‘s VICTIM.”
I saw it kicked by the careless balmorals
of a jaunty nurse; I saw a fat morsel of hu-
manity make for it with ahey i—broken into
divers hey-ey-eys by pudgy trotting—and I
stooped and secured it, thereby causing the
fat one to pull up short, stare at me with two
black currents stuck in a dreary expanse of
dough, insert a duinpy thumb in an orifice of
the same expanse, and trot back with that
stolid resignation under disappointment which
is the peculiar attribute of the London infant
population. . '
Having ascertained the nature of my prize,
I proceeded to meditate on the proper course
to be taken, which meditation resulted in the
following advertisement:
“Found this evening, Wednesday, in the
Regent‘s park, nearly opposite the new col-
lege, a valuable diamond ring. The owner
may recover it by calling at NO. 10 Wilton
place,” etc. ‘
Before noon on the following day I was
making my most courteous bow to a venera—
ble looking old gentleman whose white hairs
and benevolent smile added a double .charm
to the grace with which he stepped forward
and waving ceremony extending his hand,
saying:
“You have taken a weight from my mind,
my young friend,and must allow me to thank
you.”
The insinuating delicacy of the adjective
(1 am not more than 45,) was, perhaps, not
without its effect. I accepted the offered
pledge of amity in respecful silence.
“A young man,” continued the patriarch,
“may possibly find it difficult to understand
how the loss of a trinket can be a source of
positive suffering to an old one, but—I am
alluding to myrrastTrlhg—there are associa-
tions’connected with it which—aheml This
is childish. you will excuse my emotion.”
I bowed profoundly in the presence of this
natural agitation.
”I have passed some hours of sleeplessness
and distress, from which you have been the
means of relieving me—I feel deeply indebt-
ed to you. There remains nothing new but
to reimburse you—a—”
Here the old gentleman drew forth his
purse, and proceeded to unclasp it.
“Excuse me, sir," I stammered, rather hur-
riedly; “but, if the ring is yours, you can
doubtless describe the armorialjbearin’gs i’j
“Armorial bearings! It was a diamond
rillgn,’
“Certainly."
“A plain diamond ring,” replieg the gen—
tleman, sternly. “DO not attempt to play
tricks with me, young man. Iwill point out
to you directly—” ~
“I beg your pardon,” said I, drawing back
from the outstretched hand, "but,as the ring
in my possession is assuredly engraved with
a crest and motto, I concludeit cannot be the
one you are in search of." '
The old gentleman eyed me for a moment
keenly.
“I am afraid you are right,” he sighed, in a
tone of deep dejection ; "I must seek further.
"Alas! what a melancholy termination to my
hopeful journey.” -
“Speed the parting, welcome the coming
guest,” is a very good motto. I made no at -
tempt to detain my venerable friend; but as
he turned toward the rider, I am certain I
saw beneath the silver hairs a lock of dark
and shining brown. .
My next visitor was a lady,cxpensively got
up, of imposing height and carriage, roughed,
scented, spectacled.
“We meet under singular circumstances,”
began this lady, with condescending haughti-
ness. “1 am the principal of a college for
young ladies—"
With a deferential acknowledgment of the
honor done me, I begged to know what had
procured it. ~
“In the hours of recreation we are accus—
tomed to promenade in the park—a delightful
spot, so suggestive Of the blushing country 1—
during our rambles of yesterday a young lady
under my charge was unfortunate enough to
lose her ring. You, sir, are the fortunate
finder.” ,
"I certainly did, madam, pick up a ring,
but—"
“Ah! how grateful my dear pupil will be
at beholding it again i" exclaimed the teacher
, of youth, clashing her hands, ,ecstatically. .
“May I trouble you to describe the ring ?”
“Describe it? A diamond ring sir—hand-
some and massive, but plain."
“And the crest i’j .
“The crest! Ah 1 that my young charge
were with me. Stupid! to have forgotten.
The crest of the Deloraines. Is it a lion
passant? or—. No, I am Wrong. Unfortu-
nate, that she should be too unwell to pccom.
puny me! But it is immaterial; I Will take
it to lier for inspection—she will be able to
recognize it at once.” ‘ «
“I fear, madam, that I should scarcely be
jus'.ified—.”
“Sir l"
“I feel it my duty,” I said, firmly, “under
the circumstances, to take every precaution
against mistakes. I trust the young lady is
not too seriously indisposed to give you the
necessary description."
“Very well, sir! Exceedingly well! It is
I who have been mistaken. I fancied—yes,
actually fancied-f-that I was speaking to a
gentleman l You will find, sir, to your cost
that the lady principal of aycollege is notto
be insulted with impunity! I wish you a
good morning.”
Very harrowing this. Iam scarcely recov-
ered from the lady principal when there is a
dash of wheels to the door, and a young fel-
low, flinging the reins to the groom in livery,
springs up the steps to the door bell.
“0h, dash it l” he begins, breathing out a
volume of stale tobacco; “I beg your pardon
and all that, but the old woman—dash it! I
. know—that‘s good!”
'Out.if he knew.
' auce. Device ? Oh, come, you don‘t expect
mean my mother—told me I should find my
ring here, so I ordered out the vessel and
the cats and spun along like ninepence for
it."
“I shall be very glad to restore the ring I
was unfortunate enough to find when I can
discover its owner.”
“Discover! dash it! Didn’t I tell you it's
mine? I say, I wish you wouldn‘t be so pre-
cious slow—I don’t want the cats to catch
cold. I’ve just had ’em shampooned, you
know—naphthaed and that,” '
“What sort of a ring was years it”
“What sort ? Oh, eome, as if you didn’t
/
I intimated that I should be glad to find
“Not know my Own ring, eh ? I'know it’s
worth a couple of ponies. Come, let’s hear
the damages and I’ll stump up.”
“You can describe the device ?"
“Deviee,. eh? What, the governor’s .9-
Bless you, he has a device for every hourin
the day to do me out of my rightful allow-
me to do the heraldic dodge, dash it 1” r
“I cannot give up the ring unless you de-
scribe it.” _
“Oh, dash it, don't chaff a fellow now. I
shouldn’t care a rap about the ring only it
belonged to some defunct party, and the gov-
ernor'd [cut up so deuced rough. I’ve got
heaps of ’em. Come, I’ll swop you any one
of these for it; because of the governor.”
I respectfully declined the proposal.
“Well, dash it," exclaimed the'young fel~
low, as though struck with a sudden idea,
“whata couple Of muffs we are! Why don’t
you turf the thing? I could tell you in a
minute if it’s mine, dash it i”
I replied that I was sorry Icould not oblige
him, and adding that he had better obtain an
exact description of the “thing” from his
governor, I recommended him not to keep
the cats any longer in the cold. ‘
Mom. I am getting exceedingly tired of
my treasure trove. I retire to my room with
a. view of dressing to go out. ' I am informed
that a lady wishes to see me, and I am afraid
my mental ejaculation was not compliment—
ary to the lady in question. .
A tall, graceful figure, draped in heavy
mourning, rises at my entrance. She opens
the negotiation in some confusion, turning
away her face. She has come to me in the
hope Of regaining a ring, carelessly lost, the
arting gift of a fond father to her brother
and herself.
, My eye rests on the crape about her dress,
on her pale, beautiful face, from which the
blush of confusion and timidity has faded.
Deferentially I request her to describe it. ‘
“A large diamond, handsome,” she be—
reasons.”
“But,” I said, gently, “chased on the gold
inside the ring there is—”
“A crest, [am aware of‘it,” she answered,
sadly ; “but I know nothing of heraldly,and
have never given it more than a casual
glance. My brother is dying, sir,” she said,
lifting up her pale face to mine. “Only this
morning he missed the ring from my finger
uneasily ; we * are alone in the world; ,it
is the only relic left 'of one so lately'taken
fromus. . How can I venture to tell him it is
lost ?"
“I am sorry to pain you," I said striving to
be firm; “but it would be more satisfactory
for all parties and cause but little delay if you
could obtain the ' description from your
brother. "
Without a word she turned away; the
mournful resignation of her air and attitude
touched me. and, as she turned, I saw a tear
roll silently down and fall upon the hand
stretched out to the door handle. I couldn’t
stand that. ,
“Stop l" I- exclaimed; “one moment. I am
sure—I feel certain—1 may trust you. You
will tell me—"
I take the ring from its security, I hold it
Out timidly for the blue eyes to examine.
-I see yet the look Of delight overspread her
fine features—I see the expression of almost
childish pleasure in her eyes as she looked
up at me, as she clasped her hands and cried
out :
“The ring
brother 1"
Her hand was upon it; such a tremulous,
happy eagerness in her glance ; such a caress-
ing fondness in her way of fingering it. How
pretty she was.
“My dearchild" (I am forty-five) “it gives
me most sincere pleasure——” Then I stam~
mer, then I spring after her. “At least you
will leave your address with me."
What a look shades her face now! Wound-
ed integrity mingled with pity for me.
“Ab, sir,” she says, sadly, handing me the
card on which she has been penciling, “some
day you will be sorry for this. You do not
trust me.” ' ’
Certainly, I am a brute. The accent of re-
proach in her voice haunts me; the sorrow—
ful glance;of her eye—how pretty she is! I
sit down to my breakfast in the morning,half
inclined to call at the address given and apol-
ogize for my heathenish distrust. How do-
lightful to see her in her own peculiar atmos-
phere ministering to the sick brother, who is
all she has in the world—to look upon,if one
cannot enjoy the beautiful tenderness of a
gentle sister to an afilicted brother. But my
letters wait and I toy with them. ' This is a
hand I know. What does Fred want, I won-
der; I tore it open; I read:
“Dear Jack: What a queer chance if you
have stumbled upon my ring. I was oblged
to run down to Romford late last evening,
and never missed it till we slackened at Il-
ford. Apretty taking I’ve been in. If it’s
mine, the crest is inside; you know it—a
mailed hand holding a lance, and the motto
‘Armed at the points.’ Verily, truth is
stranger than fiction. Keep it for me.

Idiot! Gull? It :is quite, useless to call
myself names. It is almost superfluous to
add that when I called at a certain address in
Eaton square to inquire for Miss Lucy Hamil-
ton, the lady was not found. Probably the
“dear Alfred” had required speedy change of
air; probably brother and sister were now
embracing in‘ rapturous gratitude over the
precious relic Of that one lost to them so
lately. Was that dear one not lost, but
transformed ? Had the silver-haired patri—
arch of the first visit changed to the dashing
buck of the third ? And was the virtuous
teacher of youth only the tender sister in
masquerade? On‘ my word, I believe so. I
dare say they are enjoying the joke. Possibly
it is a dodge often repeated. But what am I
to say to Fred? .

it was discovered that instead of going .to

he would walk back and forth, across the

A Pompeian House.
rna “oasa Dar. OaN‘rsuamo” run LARGEST
Arrnnnro nrsoovnnnn.
News writes: “The house which was begun
to be excavated at the celebration of the
centenary of Pompeii, and, is, therefore,
called ‘Casa delCentenario,’ and from’ which
I then saw three skeletons dug out, has
proved to be the largest hitherto discovered,
and is of peculiar interest. It contains two
atria, two trichnia, four also or wings, a cali-
darium. frigidarium and tepidarium. It 00'
cupics the entire space between three streets,
and most likely a fourth, which has yet to
be excavated. The vestibule is elegantly dec-
orated, and its mosaic pavement ‘ orna
mented with the figure of a dolphin pursued
by a seahorse. In the first atrium, the walls
of which are adorned with small theatrical
scenes, the pavement is sunk and broken, as
if by an earthquake, and there is a large hole
through which one sees the cellar. The sec-
ond atrium is very spacious with a handsome
perisyile, the columns—«white and red stucco
——being 26 in number. In the center is a
large marble basin, within the edge of which
runs a narrow step. On the pedestal at one
side was found the statuette of the Faun
which I lately described. The most in—
teresting place in the house is an inner court
or room, on one side of which is the niche
with tiny marble steps, often to be seen
in Pompeian houses. . The frescoes on the
walls are very beautiful. Close to the floor
runs a wreath Of leaves about a quarter of a
yard wide, with alternately a lizard and a
stork. Above it, about a yard distant.droop,
as if from over a wall, large branches of vine
or ivy and broad leaves like those of the
tiger-lily—all very- f'reely, naturally, and.
gracefully drawn. At each corner- Of the
room a bird clings to one of these branches.
Then comes a'space—bordered at the top by
another row of leaves—in which is represent-
ed a whole aquarium, as if the room were
lined with tanks. There are different sorts
of shells and aquatic plants lying in or on it,
all kinds of fish, jelly fish, sepias, ducks and
swans, admirably sketched. with a light, yet
firm touch. The ripples made by the swim-
ming» ducks are indi ted, and one duck is
just flying into the water with a splash. On
each side .of the niche this amusing aquarium
is enlivened by a special incident. To the
left a large octopus has caught a monstrous
murmua (lamprey)—which turns round to
bite—in its tentacles; to the right a fine
lobster has pierced another murtcna through
and through with its long hard feelers,
or horns. These creatures are painted in the
natural colors very truthfully. 0n the left
wall of the room, above the 'fishes, are two
sphinxes,‘ supporting on their heads square
marble vases, on the brim of each of which
sits a dove. Behind the niche, and on' the
left side of the room, runs a little gallery
with a corridor underneath, lighted by small
square holes in the border of hanging
branches. The wall of the‘ gallery benind
the niche is decorated with a woodland laud-
scapc, in which, on one side, is represented a
bull running frantically away with a lion
clinging to its haunches; on the other, a
horse lying struggling on its back, attacked
by a leopard; all nearly the size of life. On
each side Of the dorway is painted respective-
ly, a graceful doc and a hear. The other
rooms are also very beautiful; one with a
splendidly elegant design on a black ground ;
in another a small fresco representing a man
pouring wine out of an amphora into a large
vessel. The bath—rooms are large and cle—
gant, the cold bath spacious and of marble.
In one room a corner, is. dedicated to the
lares and penatcs, and in the fresco decora-
tion, among the usual serpents, &c., I no—
ticed the singular figure of a Bacchus or
bacchante, entirely clothed with large grapes.
In one of the mosaic pavameuts is a head of
Medusa, the colors very bright ,and well
preserved. As some Of the rOoms are only
excavated to within two or three feet of
the floor, it is possible that many valuable
ornaments or statuettes may yet be found, as
everything indicates that this splendid
house belonged to some very rich'citizcn."——-

Quassra non Mosanrons.-—A few years
ago I had some peach trees which, being on
a wall exposed to draught, were annually
blighted. One died, and the new wood of
the others was not more than a band’s
length. A scientific friend advised me to try
a weak solution of quassia to water them
with, and the success was complete. Blight
was prevented. The first year the trees bore
well and the new wood was elbow length or
more. I next tried quassia in the vinery.
Instead of lime-washing the walls to get rid
of the green fly, one watering with quassia
'dissmissed them in a day. My' head gardener,
'who had previously much experience in
nursery grounds, wondered that he had
never heard of it before. He now uses it in
all cases as a protection from files and blight.
The dilutiOn goes a long way: One pound of
chips of quassia-wood boiled and reboiled in
other water, until he has» eight gallons of the
extract for his garden engine. He finds it
unadvisable to use it stronger .for . some
plants. This boiling makes the quassia ad-
hesive, and being principally applied to the
underleaf, because most blight settles there,
it is not readily washed off by rain. Quas-
sia is used in medicine as a powerful tonic,
and the chips are sold by chemists at from
sixpence to a shilling a pound. The tree is
indigenuous to the West Indies and to South
America. And now as to goats and mosqui-
toes. A young friend Of mine, severely bit.
tcn by mosquitoes and unwilling to be seen
so disfigured, sent for some quassia chips and
had boiling water poured upon them. At
night, after washing, she dipped her hands
into the quassia water and left it to dry on
her face. This was a perfect protection, and
continued to be so wheriver applied. The
pastilles sold in Florence and clsewhere,which
are vaunted to be safeguards against mosqui-
toes, are, from my own experience, of no
use. At the approach of winter, when flies'
and goats get into houses and sometimes bite
venomously,'a grandchild Of mine, eighteen
months Old, was thus attacked. I gave the
nurse some of my week solution of quassia
to be left to dry on his face, and he was not
bitten again. _
and it may be a protection also against bed
insects, which I have not had the opportuni .
ty of trying. When the solution of quassia
is strong, it is well known to be an active fly
poison, and is mixed with sugar to attract
flies, but this is not strong enough to kill at
once. If it be true that mosquitoes have
been imported into one of the great hotels
in the southwest of London, it might be
very useful to anoint some 'of the furniture
with it. Then a strong solution with sugar
set about the rooms ought to clear them out.

Buy a Home,
. Gen. George Bastow gave good advice in
a speech on the subject of “Home.” He said
every man should own his home. if he can.
That philosophy which tells a manto drift
over the uncertain life without a home, is
like a ship out in an open sea, at the hazard
of the storm. A man who owns his home is
like a ship that has arrived in port, and is
moored in a safe; harbor. One man should
be no more content to live in a home that is
not his own, if he can build one, than one
bird should take the risk of hatching in
another one's nest; and, for my own part, I
would rather be able to own a cottage than
to hire a palace. I would say to every man,
buy a home if you can, and owu it. If a
windfall has come to you, buy a home. Do
not let anybody tempt. .

OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN m New Yours——
In the city or suburbs we find women em-
ployed in staining and cnamelling glass; in
making glass signs; ,in cutting ivory, pearl,
and tortoise-shell; working in gutta—percha,
gum-elastic, and hair; making willow-ware
and cane chairs; feeding printers’ presses
and setting type; making and packing cau-
dles; moulding tablets of water-colors; as-
sisting in the manufacture ‘of chemicals and
fire-works; making clocks, cnamelling dials,
and painting the cases; finishing backgam-
mon boards; making and dressing do'lls
and toys; stitching the cloths and making
the pockets of billiard tables; painting the
handles of brooms, and weaving twine into
netting; making paper. collars and twine;
burnishiug jewelry and making buttons.
There are about five hundred milliucry houses
lathe city,employing over two thousand mil-
liners, and the manufacture of straw hats
engages several thousand women in weaving
the braid, sewing, and bleaching. The arti-
ficialgflowcr trade employs about four thou-
sand women, many Of them French, and it is
as lucrative to adept hands as any other. The
manufacture of hoop-skirts is-said to engage
over ten thousand women. who spool the
cotton, weave the tape, and cover the steel;
and the cap trade givcs'employmcnt to many
more thousands, whose earnings vary from
three to five dollars a week. The weaving of
hair 'cloth is also done by women,the packing
Of confectionery, and the making of shoe
“uppers.” ,
Some of these occupations, and others to
which we have not referred,are dangerous to '
the operativcsmot merely from the long hours
of toil, the insufficient food, and the lack of
proper ventilation in the workshops,but from
the nature of the materials and the manner of
fabrication. The artificial‘flower maker, the
gold~lcaf workers, the buttOn—gilders, the
cigar-makers, and the lucifer-match m'akers
also suffer from the nature of their occupation.
In large manufactories Of-artificial flowers
the ventilation is usually sufficient, and pre-
cautions are taken to prevent the inhalation
of poisonous colors. But nearly all the brill-
iant leaves are made in the artisans’ own
home, a back room or an attic devoted to all
the purposes of cxistcncc,and the arsenic that
produces the spring—like vividncss of color is
diffused in the atmosphere and absorbed by
the system. The fabric from which the leaves
are cut is colored in the piece,I’aris green,cold
water,and starch or gum-arabic being used for
the purpose. This liquid is spread by the fin‘;
gets over lengths of fine calico or muslin,
which are afterward beaten or kneaded by
hand until they have. an even tint. They are
then spread out in frames to dry,and are next
cut and shaded. the final process being their
immersion in warm wax, and the removal of
any loose color upon them. The detached
particles float in thefiair, and arcinevitably
inhaled by the workers,whosc handkerchiefs
are speckled with dots of green blown out
through the nose. Another operation, tech—
nically known as “grass-work,” consists in
the fastening of small glass beads or “dew— .
drops”to the artificial blades,which dislodges
portions of the color, and leads to its inhala—
tion. The consequences are variable. When
the persons employed are cleanly in their
habits, and keep their windows open, an oc-
casional headache or an attack of dyspepsia
is the most they suffer; but in other cases all
the symptoms of arsenical poisoning are re-
vealed in eruptions of the skin, nausea, colic,
and general debility.
In gilding metal buttons, mercury and
nitric acid are used, producing their charac-
teristic diseases; and in making lucifer-
matches the work-women sometimes contract
the terrible disease which is technically de—
scribed as necrosis of the maxillary bones,
many cases of which have been treated at
Bellevue Hospital. In the preparation of
gold—leaf the substance is so fragile and
buoyant that the doors and windows are nec—
essarily kept closed, and the air of the work-
rooms becomes very impure. But the women
who suffer most from the‘character of their
occupation are the cigar—makers,who mingled
with men, boys and children,toil many hours
a day for five or six dollars a week, living in
an atmosphere surcharged with dust and
fumes that would make the most inveterate
smoker sick. -. Part of the work is done in
factories, but most of it is done in the dwell-
,ings of the operatives, and in neither is any
attention paid to ventilation or cleanliness.
Growing girls at the verge of womanhood suf-
fer in many ways,and are as much under the
influence of tobacco as a constant smoker.
Their faces are pale, and their eyes are dead ;
a stupor overcomes them ; their nerves are un-
settled, and their lungs are diseased in nearly
every case—Winnmxr H. Russian, in Har-~

Undisciplincd Temper-s.
Of all things that are to be met with here '
on earth there is nothing which can give
such continual, such cutting, such useless
pain as- an undisciplined temper. The
touchingand sensitive temper, whichtakes
offense at a word; the irritable temper,
which finds offense in everything, whether
intended or not: the violent .tcmper, which
breaks through all bonds of reason when
once roused; the jealous or sullen temper,
which wears'a cloud tonfthe face all day, and
never'ut‘ters a word ofcomplaint; the dis-
consented temper,'brooding over its own
wrongs; the severe temper, which always
looks at the worst side of whatever is done;
the wilful. temper, which overrides every
scruple to gratify a whim—what an amount
of pain have these caused in the hearts of
men, if we could but sum up t'ieir results!
How many a soul have théy stirred to evil
impulses; how many a prayer have they.
stifled; how many an emotion of true af1—:~.-_
fection have'thcy turned to bitterness. How;
hard they sometimes make all duties. How"
painful they make all daily life. How they
kill the sweetest and warmest, of‘domeslic
charities. ll! temper is a sin requiring long
and careful discipline. .

Better in the Morning.
Litmus 8. Com.
“You can’t liéip the baby. paiaon. ‘
But still I want ye to go
Down ’an look in upenglier,‘
An' read an’ pray, you know,
Only last week she was skipping round
A pullin’ my whiskers’n’ hair,
A climin’ up to the table
Into her little high chair.
“The first night that she took it
When her little cheeks grew red,
When she kissed good night to papa.
And went away to bed—
Sez she, ‘ ’Tis headache, papa,
Be better in mornin’—bye;
An’ somethin’ in how she said it
Jest made me want to cry.
“But the mornin’ brought the fever
An’ her little hands were h‘Ot,
An’ the pretty red u‘v her little cheeks
Grew into a crimson spot. '
But she laid‘ there jest ez patient
E7. ever a woman could. .
Takin’ whatever we give her
Better’n a grown wolnan would.
“The days are terrible long an’ slow ‘
An‘ she’s growin' was in each ;
An' now she's jest a slippin’ ~
Clear away out of our reach.
Every night when I kiss her,
Tryin' hard not to cry, .
She says in a way thatkills me—.
‘Be better in mornin'—bye l”
“She can‘t get thrO’ the night, person,
So I want ye to come an’ pray,
And talk with mother a little~
You'll know jest whatto say~
Not that the baby needs it,
Nor that we make any complaint
That God seems to think he's needin’
The smile av the little saint.”
I walked along with the corporal
To the door of his humble home,
To which the silent messenger
Before me had also come;
And if he had been a titled prince,
I would not have been honored more
Than I was with his heartfelt welcome
To his lowly cottage door.
Night falls again in the cottage;
They move in silence and dread
Around the room where the baby
Lies panting upon her bed.
“Does baby know papa, darling ?"
And she moves .her. little face
With answer that shows she knows him;
But scarce a visible trace
Of her wonderful infantile beauty
Remains as it was before
The unseen, silent messenger
Had waited at the. door.
“Papa-—kiss—baby ;—I’s—so—tired."
The man hows low his face, ‘
And two swollen hands are lifted
In baby‘s last embrace.
And into her father’s grizzled heard
The little red fingers cling,
While her husky whispered tenderness
Tears from a rock would wring,
“Baby—is—so—sick— papa— ,
But—don't—want—you—to—cry ;"
The little hands fall on the coverlet—
“Be—--better-—in—mornin’—bye l”
And night around baby is falling.
Settling down dark and dense;
Does God need their darling in heaven
That he must carry her hence i’
I prayed, with tears in my voice.
Asthe corporal solemnly knelt
With such grief as never before
His great warm heart had felt.
Oh ! frivolous'men and women!
Do you know that around you, and high—
Alike from thehumble and haughty
Goeth up evermore the cry:
“My child, my. precious, my darling,
How can I let you die it”
Oh! hear the white lips whisper—
“Be—better—in'—mornin’-—bye i"
