banding into the sublimity of the

wonder and scnsibilhy of childhood
return upon us. Niagara-thc occlI

The fact is either not known to parents OF

wants is fresh air and plenty of it. From the
moment child is born it should have air and
light, and ought neither be shut up in dark
room nor have its head covered up in q

The other morning, making my first call on
a lady, with an infant, I saw heap of blank.
cts lying in rocking chair beside the bed nut
there was no baby in sight. When enquired
for the newly arrived, the nurse came and after
taking of fold after fold, there at last was the
poor little half smothered baby, gasping for
breath. The mother and nurse got lecture
that time.
Returning in an omnibus, a pretty woman
got in, with her baby completely enveloped in
its blankets. Perhaps it was none of my bust
ness but think it was The baby had as
good right to breathe and have the purest
air to be had as anybody; and as there was
nobody else to take its part, did.

The Old Oaken Bucket.

This popular poem was written by Samuel
2. Woodwork, while yet he was journey
man printer, working in an Office on the cor.
ner of Chamber and Chatham Streets. Near
by, in Frankfort Street, was drinking shop,
kept by man named MalloIoy, where Wood
worth and several particular friends used to
resort. One afternoon the liquor was super
excellent. Woodwork seemed inspired after
taking draught, he set his glass upon the
table, and smacking his lips, declared that
Malloroy's eau d. vse was superior to anything
he had ever tasted. NO." said Malloroy,
you are mistaken, there was one which, in
both our estimations, far surpassed it in the
way of drinking "What was tbat?' asked
Woodwork obviously. "The draughts of pure
fresh spring water that we used to drink from
the. old oaken bucket that hung in the well,
after our return from the labors of the field on
a sultry day in summer" The teardrop glis-
tened in Woodworth's eye. "True true,S he
replied, and shortly after quilted the house.
He Immediately returned to the Office, grasped
a pen, and in half an hour The Old Oaken
Bucket" one of the most delightful compost
tions in our language, was ready in manuscript
to be embalmed in the memories of succeeding
generations.
