THE LITTLE CHILD's SoLILoouY-Wish
my mamma would please keep me warm
My little bare legs are very cold with these
lace rufflrs; they are not half as nice as
black Jim's wooden stockings. Wish had
a long sleeved apron. for my bare arms and
neck; wish might push my curls out Of
my eyes. or have them cut off Wish my
dress would stay upon my shoulders. and
that it was not too nice for me to get on
the floor and play ninepins. Wish my
mamma would 60 to walk With me some
times, instead Of Betty. Wish she would
not promise me some thing "very nice," and
then forget all about it. Wish she would
answer my questions. and not always say,
don't bore me, Freddy" Wish when We
go to the country, she wouldn't make me
wear my gloves, lest | "shculd tan my
hands" Wish she would not tell me that
all the pretty flowers will poison me : wish
| could tumble on the hay, and go into the
barn and see how Dobbin eats his supper
Wish l could make pretty dirt pies. Wish
there was not bit Of lace. or satin. or sill k
in the world. Wish l knew what makes
mamma look so smiling at aunt Emma's
children (Hho come here in their pspa's
carriage,) and SO very cross at my poor
little cousins. whose mother works 30 hard
and cries so much. Wish I knew what
makes the clouds stay up in the sky. and
where the stars go in the day time. Wish
I could get over that high hill where the
sun is going down. and just touch il with
my finger. Wish ] did not keep thinking
of things that puzzle me. when nobody will
stop to tell me the reason for anything. If
| ask Betty. she says "don't be fool, Mas
ter Freddy" l wonder if Betty knows
much herself! l wonder why mamma
don't love her own little boy? / wonder,
when am grown a man. if l shall have to
look so nice all the time, and be so tired
of doing nothing p OHpe Branch.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER THE FIFTH.
The village bells were ringing
By the border OF the sea,
The robin bliIheiy singing.
Chanted in the holy tree;
From the elms about the hall
From the mill beside the weir,
Underneath the churchyard Wall
Came the gathering groups to prayer.
Then they softly closed the door,
And the people all arose,
Mid the knights upon the hoor,
Who had Sarscenes for fees;
And the single psalm was sung,
And the children turned to pray
Where the baron's hatchment hung,
And the grim Crusader lay.
In the carved chancel stalls,
Knelt maided in the sun,
And the marble on the walls
Told Of fields her fathers won.
She was pleading in Der love,
That her lover might not Gle,
And the angels wept above
For they heard his dying cry.
The sweet chimes from the steepls
Reached the sailor on the waves,
The voices Of the people
Whispered low among the graves; q
Through the meadows and the lane
To the lighthouse on the hill
To their homes they went again,
And the village green was still.
On the hillside, on the heights
Where in Spring the VioleIs blow
Famous among famous fights
Ragged the battle with the foe;
Through the dark the rifles flashed,
Sword and plume were wet with rain
Through The bush baitaIiions dsshed,
Charged and cheered, and charged again.
Man to man, and steel TO steel
When the nuskets cease their fire
Till the swerving columns reel,
Till the swarmmE ssrfs retire,
Guards and Chasseurs side by side
Earned themselves glorious name,
Bravsly fought and nObly died
In the Brotherhood Of fame.
Underneath the pollard oaks
Clustered on CLASSY knoll,
Where The woodman's ringing strokes
Never slash the slender pole;
Meeting Death among his men,
GrasPing Giili his fathers sword
Never more TO charge agSin,
Lay the loved one on the Sward.
By the ruined mill he sleeps
Ia the grave his comrades share,
And the maiden's gift he keeps
One soft iress Of shining hsifi
She will often pass in dreams,
To that grave beside the mill,
When the winter moonlight streams,
And the snow lies on the hill.

An Interesting Letter.


Every reader, we doubt not, will agree
with US that the subjoined letter is not only
an interesting one, but that the concluding
sentence Of it makes it remarkable one
Il is an extract copy Of q letter written by
General Winfield Scott. then captain in
the army, during sojuurn at his home in
Petersburgh, Va, on the 18th Of June, 1911
Just one year before the declaration of war.
The letter vas addressed to an old friend in
this city, and is now in possession of the
son, J. L. Edwards. Esq. Great events
make great men. It seems TO have been
the purpose Of the young soldier TO leave q
service of inscIion and return to the law
We are lell in doubt whether be would
have become as renowned at the bar as he
has in tie field; but. be that as it may, war
soon followed. and the young captain. by a
course of service unexsmpled in brilIiancy
and duration. has risen step by step in the
career Of distinction. until ut the end of for
ty-fOur years be finds himself. on this ven-
Grated anniversary. crowned with the high
eat military honor which the country can
bestOw. Truly has he "wIitten bis history
with his sword" history free from stain
and which every American may read with
pride. IaianiHafis JIiget kOnOri6us.
