ting, and walking, and tossing the child,
Until she sank down from sheet exhaustion, ,

The baby was tired out, too, and lay
sobbing on her knee-Timothy regarding
it with rueful ccuntenanco, and wonder
ing what in the name Of common sense
possessed H. After awhile, tho sobs nearly
ceased--the teaiful eyes were closed--and
with an ejaculation Of thankfulness, Mrs.
Cornwall deposited the child in its cradle,
which had been brought over from the 9TH
er house. She rocked Il and hushed it
twice as mitch as was necessary, Cor fear
that it was not really asleep; and frowned
down all her husbands attempts at speak.
Ing. antil he became quite impatient, and
looked upon the baby al Something of a
bore.
Timothy obeyed his wife's beckoning
nod, and stood beside the cradle.
"Isn't it lovely!" she whspered-zand he
gave fervent assert.
The round cheek was flushed with its
late excitement--one or two tear.dropS still
tremb!ed on the long lashes--and tho tiny,
dimpled hand rested, like a rosc-leai, on
the coverlet. The chidless couple stood
regarding the sweet picture with feeling
Of indescribabe tenderness; and the infant
slumbered on. .undis,urbed by their low
whisperings.
Leaving the cradle and its precious con-

wall went TO the kitchen to superintend
some arrangements For feeding the baby -
Martha had brought over paper of arrow

We are taunted with the title OF Abolition

IL by the possession OF sush sentiment a
man becomes legitmatey entitled to the

such a distinction, are the claims Of Mr..
jefferson.
The editcr OF the Enquirer attempts to
do away with the evidence of the Ahei-
ton views of Mr.. Jiffersol. BY showing
that he vas not opposed to the spread OF
slavery into Tree territory. In 1920 he held
that the diffusion of slavery would not in
crease its amount, and would | "faciLitats
emancipation, by dividing the burden on a
greater number Of coadiutors." We are
afraid the testimony offered by our cotem-
porsry scarcely comes up to the require
ments Of his case. Mr. Jefferson favored
the diffusion Of sIarery as means Of securing
its abolition. Emancipation is what he had
in view, and it is OILY to be inquired
whether he was correct in his opinion, that
"the passage OF slaves from one State to
another would not make g slave of single
human being who would not be SO without
it," Had Mr.. Jefferson lived until now,
he would have learned the fallacy Of his
notion that the increase Of slaves is not
favoraed BY the diffusion of slavery. The
world laughed at poor old Gen. Cass, when,
few years age, he revived the idea, and
we cannot prevail upon ourselves to adopt
it, even to obige our contemporary.-Cnn

THE BRIGGS BABY.

1t was a foilorn-looking little object. see M
ing as though it had got into a.tungie, and
could not get out again-an undlstingulsh-
able mass oil nothing in particular, whuse
chief amusement appeared to be that of

the whole house vas in an uproar about
it; and not only the house, but the village

iect OF universal admiration. Martha Briggs
was yet scarcely more Than child her
self, and as to Sam, every one knew that
he had only just completed his twenty first
year. Uncles, ,unts, and cousins, fiocked
in from all directions to gaze upon the
wonder, and detect in it's little, shapeless
features a striking resemblance to father or
mother, or both; Sam held his head at
least three inches higher than before the
advent of that remarkable baby; and Martha
evidently considered all the extravagant
praises bestowed upon the queer little piece
of humanity as not the halt of what it de-
served.
The lsrae, old-lashioned house directly
opposite tn Briggs, belonged to Timothy
Cornwall. Timothy was a rich man; he
owned other houses, and numerous broad
acres-nearly all of which had been acquir.
ed by hard work and careful saving. His
bettsr-hals was II perfect mirror OF her hus.

done this fer tS enty years; and now they

On The Death of H. M.

Through long days and nights of anguish
On his couchlthe sufferer lay,
Like rosebud left to languish
Parted from the stem away.
And we deemed while watching o'er him,
By that lovely bed ofpan,
All our care might not restore him
Back to life and health again.
Every art and fond endeavors
Could not save him from the tomb,
And he passed away forever
To realm of fadeless bloom.
Four bright Ismilng summers only
Had the little prattler known,
Yetiths home he left is lonely
For its light with him has flown.
Bright the stats Of Heaven were shining
In their far off depths of blue,
Where life's transient gift resigning,
To the Earth no babe Adieu.
And the glorious seal "mmortal"
On his brow OF beauty shown
As he passed deaths gloomy portal,
Calmly without Sigh or moan.
Did not waiting Angels whisper,
"Gentle spirit! why delay"
as the pale lips of the lisper
Softly brea thed his life away!
Our dull ears heard not their voices;
But we felt, while standing thore,
"Even now his soul rejoices,
Parted from World of care" ..
In the graves dark mansion sleeping,
Cold and lowly lies his head,
And the Autumn winds are heaping
Withered leaves around his bed.
Stilled that heart which throbbed so wildly
With rapture all its own; ------ ---'.
Closed those eyes which beamed SO mildly;
flushed that voices music tone.
Quietly that form reposos,
All its beauties lost for ay--
From among the household roses
A sweet bud has passed away.
But the Angels bore his spirit
Upward to its native skies,
There forever to inherit,
All the joys of Paradise.
Who that loved him would restore him
Back to earth from Heavens bright bowers
Where Angels eyes walsh o er him
With fonder love than ours.
There the SOUL expanding, glowing,
Treads the paths by seraphs trod;
And the "river oflife"is is flowing
Thro' the City of our God.
