1s-The following little poem contains curiou
uestion which is very pretily answered and will b.
ppreciated by many who have asked the ques
on in innocent childhood, and who in turn have haC
answer it as many times in more advanced years
A daughter!
Well, what brought her?
Kitty asks" How came she here"
Half with Joy and half with fear.
Kitty is our eldest child,
Eight years old and rather Wild.
Wild in manner but in mind
Wishing all things well defined.
Kitty says" How came she here,
Father? Tell me. It's so queer
Yesterday we had no sister,
Else I'm sure should have missed fer
When went to bed last night;
And this morning hailed her sight
With strange and new delight.
For, indeed, it passes all
To have sister not so tall
As my doll and with blue ewes
And--I do declare--it cries
Last night didn't see her, father;
Or, I'm sure, I had much rather
Stayed at home still as a mouse,
Than played all day at grandma's house.
She is so pretty and so tiny;
And what makes her face so shinyP
Will it always be like that?
Will she swell up plump and fat,
Like my little doll; OF tall.
Like my wax one? Tell me all
All about her, papa, dear
For l do so long to hear
Where she came from, and what brought her
Yours and mama's bran new daughter
A daughter-another daughter!
And the question is d" what brought her ?"
Spence, our boy, but three years old,
Says the nurse did--and is bold
In defiance of them both
Since to yield his place he's 10th,
And pointing feels his noses point,
When d, clare It's out Of joint.
But though the childish explanation
BE food enough for child's yexation,
We older folks must better find
To feed the hunger OF the mini
To us, of larger issues preaching,
This link of life eternal, reaching
From earth TO Heaven, this new born soul
Come fresh from where forever roll
Its countless years through yondGr Heaven,
Hath deeper cause for thinking given.
A daughter!
And what brouht her?
No matter what, she comes to bring
blessing in her lifc'5 Young spring.
" No matter, dlrliHgs She is here
Our daughter, sister, baby dear.
Open your hearts and let her enter,
Open them wide, for God hath sent her"
