Into busy being start;
And a thousand recollectons

As listen to the strain
Which is played upon the shingles

Then my little seraph sister,
With her wings and waving hair
And her bright-eyed cherub brother,

Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mild reproof,
As listen to the murmur

Colonel Fremont comes before us, a comnlete
man, with his better half his Jessie, to sustain
and encourage him in the hour of trial and 10
adorn and beautify the Nations Mansion.
AS lawyer, / may be allowed 10 speak of tLa
coming contest in the terms of my profession. TIs
people have brought ejectment against the Demo-
cratic party to obtain possession of the White
House, the present tenant not having kent b;a
covenants. l am inclined to think that tba true
tenant, IA whom TIE possession q designed 10 be
vested, is Jessie, and that her husbands mama ia
only added to the proceedings in conformity to le
gal technicalties. | expect verdict in her 6avor
in November, to be followed by wris oe posses

"No, if you wish to preserve the peace Of tho
country, and have the affairs Of the White House
managed with dignisy and prosperity, YOU must
elect Fremont and jessie

November, and in a very different sense let no

CHAPTER II.
HISTORY OF THE BABY.

1t was on dark, disagreeable evening that
Mr.. Calkins, having visited the post office, as
he was wont to do Immediately after tea, was
returning to his house. He had proceeded but
a few steps along the graveled path which led
from the highway to his house, when he fell
almost headlong over something which the
darkness of the night had prevented his dis
cerning.
Upon picking himself up he discovered the
object to be a large wicker basket, and with
the exclamation ''confound the man, why
didn't he leave it in the house; almost broke
my neck" he picked it up, and took it into
the kitchen where his wife was engaged in
clearing away after the evening meal.
Mr.. Calkins placed the basket upon the ta-
BILE in front of her, remarking as he did so,
"There Maria, we have one at last, and good
heavy one too; | know who raised it, and
guess twill be good one. You must dress
it in your best style, for an old friend will dine
with us tomorrow. Perhaps you had better
do it tonight
Having thus spoken, Mr. Calkins proceeded
to the sitting room, where, throwing himself
upon a couch, he was soon reVelllng with fairy
forms in dream land.
In the course of fifteen or twenty minutes
having put things to rights, Mrs. Calkins pro-

| The first thing that discovered itself to her,
after having raised the cover, was white nap
kin, which having been removed, there appear
ed nice white blank ct; this Mrs. Calkins rais-
ed with feelings of astonishment, not unmixed
with forebodings of-she knew not what; and
then full in view Cameo We gods!-reclining
in perfect quiet-its little dimpled cheek rest
ing upon its hand-smiling even in its sleep
dressed in neat white robe-a little cherub
perhaps three months old.
The first impulse of Mrs. Calkins at this
sudden apparition of childhood, was to scream
aloud, but her woman's nature got the better
of her feelings and she bent over and gazed
tenderly upon it; in moment, the thought
that it was not her own, that Mr.. Calkins had
brought it into the house, the words which he
had spoken, all flashed upon her, and she
rushed like a whirlwind into the room where
Mr.. Calkins was reposng, in blissful ignorance
of the storm which was about to disturb
him. ,,f5s. la ,-.-. .a.,-.s e.... ..5. +.
The temper of Mrs. Calkins-and it was
none of the smoothest-was fully reused, and
ON entering the sitting room she exclaimed with
energy. A.. .a...... s-.f- ... ss.--
