A row of little faces by tho bed IDS
a row of little hahds upon tho spread
A row of little roguish eyes al closed
A row of little naked feet exposed. t- a.
a gentle mother leads them in their praise,
Teaching their feet to tread in heavenly ways,
And takes this lull in childhood's tiny tidc,
The little errors of the day to chide.
T hen, tumbling hOadlong into waiting beds,
Beneath the sheets they hide their timid heads;
Till slpmber steals away their idle fears,
And liko peepipg bud each face appears.
All dressed like angels in their gowns of white,
They're waited to the skies in dreams of night;
And heaven will sparkle in their eyes at morn,
And stolen graoes all their ways adorn.-Posr

Venice.

Ruskin, in his great work, "The Stones
of Venice" thus eloquently writes:
"When sensuality and idolatry had
done their work, and the religion Of the
empire was laid asleep in a gliItering sep
uIchre, the living light rose up between
two hemIspheres, and the fierce swords
OF the Lombard and the Arab were sha-
ken over its golden parapets. The work
of the Lombard was to give hardihood
and system to the eneryated body aud
enfeebled mind Of Christendom; that of
the Arab was to punish idolatry, and to
proclaim the spirituality of worship. The
Lombard covered every church that he
built with the sepulchered representa-.
tives of bloody exercises, hunting and
war. The Arab banished all imag>
ination Of creature from his temples. and
proclaimed from their minarets. "There
is no God but Cod" Opposite in their
character and mission, alike in their mag
ni6cenoe and energy, they came from
the North and from the South, the glacier
torrent and the lava streams; they met
aud contended over the wreck Of the Ro,
man Emprire. and the very centre of ,the
struggle, the point OF pause, Of both. the
dead waters OF the opposite, eddies. char
ged with the embayed fragments of the
Roman wreck, is Venice" sfs. .s.
