It was Lucy, standing there in this bitter

AN OLD LADY'S STORY.
BY DICKENS.

have never told you my secret. my
''dear nieces. However, this Christmas,
which may be the last to an old woman,
i will give the whole story for though it
is a strange story; and a sad one, it is
true and what sin there was in it, | trust
i may have expiated by ny tears and my
repentance. Perhaps the last expiation
of all is this painful confession.
We were very young at The time, Lu-
ICY and I, and the neighb RS said we were
pretty. So we were, believe, though
entirely different; for Lucy was quiet, and
fair, and i was fuh of life and spirits !;
wild beyond any power of control, and
reckless. was the elder by two years !;
but more fit to be in leading strings my.
self than to guide or govern my sister.
But she was SO good. so quiet, and so
wise. that she needed no ones guidance !;
dor if advice was to be given, it vas her
who gave it, not l.; and never knew her
judgment or perception full. She was
the darling Of the house. My mother
had died soon after Lucy was born. A
picture in the dining room of her, in
spite Of all the difference of dress, was
exactly like Lucy; and, as Lucy was
now seventeen, and mother had been OH.

INFANTS RiGHTs CONVENTIONAL
large and spirited meeting Of infants was
recently he'd in Nurserydom, at which
they asserted their rights, and called for
an immediate redle;s of t"e wrongs which
have been inflicted upon them.
"Whereas, We have been brought in.
TO existence without being consulted at oil
in regard to our feelings and wishes, thus
laying the immediate authors Of our ex-
istence under the strangest obligation .c
see that our rights are protected and our
wants supplied, therefore,
Resolved, That we do earnestly pro.
test against the parliality sometimes ex-
hibited by our mothers, in nursing lap.
dogs, and making parlor companions of
them as though they were the real Off
spring instead of ourselves, while we are
turned out 10 Bridget.
Resolved, Tha, we claim as our right,
place in the parental bed. and deem it q
very poor excuse for tucking US away
with the nurse that our mother comes
from parties late at night, and does not
wish 10 be broken of her rest
Resolved, That we are opposed 10 TAX.
ing medicine, when it would seldom be
required if we were properly taken care
of by our mothers, and especially do we
raise our voices against tho practice OF
many nurses, who secretly keep bottle
of pategoric, or Godfrey's cordial, and
force down our ,hroats dose in the eve.
ming, so tina. we may not disturb them in
the night.
Resolved. That in consequence of
these and other abuses 10 which we are
subjected, most Of Us become sickly, and
about half our number die before we are
old enough to take care of ourselves.
Resolved, That our cry shall be War,
war; and not Peace, peace until our
wrongs are redressed, and our rights re-
stored to us.
Noted, That the proceedings Of this
tonv en,ion be published in all the papers
from Maine to Texas"

THE LAST GOOD NIGHT.

Close her eyelids--press them gently
Der the dull and leaden eyes,
For the soul that made them lovely
Hath returned unto the skies;
Wipe the death-drops from her forehead,
Sever one dear golden tress,
Fold her icy hands all meekly,
Smooth the little snowy dress;
Scatter flowers DER her pillow
Gentle flowers so pure and white
Lay the bud upon her bosom,
There-now softly say-good night.
Though our tears flow fast and faster,
Yet we would not call her back,
We are glad her feet no longer,
Tread life's rough and thorny track;
We are glad our Heavenly Father
Took her while her heart was pure,
We are glad he did not leave her
All life's trouble to endure;
We are glad-and yet the tear-drop
Falleth, for alas we know
That our ire-side will be lonely,
We shall miss our darling SO.
While the twilight shadows gather,
We shall wait in vain to feel,
Little arms, all white and dimpled,
Round our necks so softly steal;
Our wet cheeks will miss the pressure
OF sweet lips so warm and red,
And our bosoms sadly, sadly,
Miss that darling little head
Which was wont to rest there swectly,
And those azure eyes so bright,
We shall miss their loving glanccs,
We shall miss their soft good night.
When the morrow's sun is shining,
They will take this cherished form,
They will bear it to the church-yard,
And consign it to the worm;
Well-what matter? 1t is only
The clay dress our darling wore;
God has robed her as angel,
She hath need of this no more;
Fold her hands, and DER her p low
Scatter flowers all pure and white,
Kiss that marble brow and whisper
Once again. a last good nght.

A YOUNG lady given to tattle, says she
never tell anything except to two classes
those who ask her and those who don't.
