Poverty runs strongly to fun. A
man is never SO full Of jokes as when he
is reduced to one shirt and two potatoes.
Wealth is taciturn and fretful. Stock
brokers would no, sooner indulge in a
hearty laugh than they would lend mon
ey on second mortgage. Nature is 9
great believer in compensations. Those
TO whom she sends wealth she saddles
with law suits and dyspepsia. The poor
never indulge in woodcock, hut ther
they have style Of appetite that CON
.terts number three mackerel into 9
salmon, and that is quite as well.

who Can Ten what : BABY Thinks !.

The following exquisite baby picture, which wi
touch the heart of every mother who reads it II e1
tlacted from J. G. Hollands original poem Bite
Sweet, recently published in New York.
TKneeling and rocking the cradle.
What is the little one thinking abouts
Very wonderful things, no doubt.
Unwritten history
Unfathomed mystery!
Yet he laughs and cries, and eats sud drinks,
And chuckles and crows, and mods and winks,
As if his head were as full of kinks
Andcurious riddles any sphynx!
Warped by collie, and wet by tears,
Punctured by pins, and tortured by fears,
Our little nephew will lose two years.;
And he'll never know
Where the summers go;-
He need not laugh, for he'll find it so!
Who can tell what baby thinksi
Who can follow the gossamer links
By which the mannikin feels his way
Out from the shore of the great unknown,
Blind and wailing and alone,
Into the light of day?- g
Out from the shore of the unknown sea,
Tossing inpitifuI agony
OF the unknown sea that reels and rolls,
Specked with the barks Of little souls
Banks that were launched on the other side.
And slipped from Heaven on an ebbing tidel
What does he think of his mothers eyest
What docs he think of his mothers hair!
What of the cradle-roof that flies
Forward and backward through the ART
What does he think of his mothers breast
Bare and beautiful, smooth and white,
Seeking it ever with fresh delight,
Cup Of his life and couch of his rest!
What does he think when her quick embrace
Presses his baud and burics his face
Deep where the heart-throbs sink and swell
With tenderness she can never tell,
Though she murmur the words
OF all the birds
Words she has learned to murmur ~eITs
Now he thinks he'll go to sleep!
can see the shadow creep
Over his eyes, in soft eclipse,
Over his brow and over his lips,
Out to his little fnger-tips!
Softly sinking, down he goesi
Down he goes! Down he goes!

1gAn exchange says, "Shun man
who doesn't pay his compliments to the
ladies'. He who is wanting in honor to-
ward pretty lips will invariably attempt
to dodge the grocer, tailor and butcher.
Faithlessness to the dimity institution is
sure sign of want of principle, piety,
and good bringing-up."

RELIGION AND REvELATIoN.-He
