Intercourse the Bond Of Union,

Among Amerlcan pecuiarities the fondness
ior travelling has often been noted. In no coun-
! try are the public conveyance so well support

aEe frequent. The man who expects to estab-
Ilsh himself in business where his father lived
is the exception. Usually the young prefer to
9" forth and make for themselves homes and
irisnGs IN some new scene, where they may ex-
pertinent according to their own taste, and
adopt the changes which their fancy has sug-
gested from the modes which their fathers fol-
lowed. Ot course this national disposition for
change has It's evils and Disadvantages, but it
has also Benefits and leads to many improve

BABY BUNW.

Winsome baby Bum!
Brighter than the stars that rise
In tke dusky evening skies,
Browncr than the robins wing,
Clearer than woodland spring,
Are the eyes of baby BURN
Wins9me baby Bum!
Smile, mother, smile
Thinking softly ali the while
OF a tender, blissf.,l day.
When the dark eyes, so like these
OF The cheruh Oh your knees,
Stole your girlish heart away.
Oh. the eyes of baby Bum!
Rarest mischief they will do.
When once old enough to steal
What their fathers stole from you
Smile, mother, smile!
Winsome baby Bum!
Mlk.while lilies half unrolled.
Set in calyces of geld,
Cannot match his forehead fair,
With its rings Of yellow hairl
S;arlet berry cleft in twain
BY wedge of pearly grain,
Is the mouth Of baby Bum!
WinsOme baby Bunn
Weep, mother, weep.
For the little one asleep
With his head against your breast!
Never in the coming years,
Though he seek for 1t with tears,
vii! he find so sweet rest.
Oh, the brow of baby Bunnl
On, the scarlet mouth of Bum!
One must wear lis crown OF thorns,
Drink its cup OF gall must one
Though the trembling lips shall shrink
White with anguish as they drink,
And the temple sweat with pain
Drops of blood like purple ram;
Weep, mother, weepl
Winsome, little baby Bum!
Not the sea-shell's palest 1inge,
Not the daisy's rose white fringe,
Not the sottest, faintest glow
OF the sunset on the snow,
Is more beautiful and sweet
Than The wee pink hands aud feet
Of the little baby Bum
Wlnsome baby Bum!
Pray, mother, pray!
Feet like these may lose the way,
Wandering blIndly from tie right.
Pray, and sometime will your prayers
Be 70 him like golden stairs
Built through darkness into light.
Oh! the dimpled feet Of Bum!
In their siken stockings dressed!
Oh! the dainty hands of Bum!
Aiu like rose-leaves in your breast!
These will grasp at jewels rare,
But to find them empty air;
Those shall falter many a day,
Bruised and bleeding by the way,
Eie they reach the land of rest!
Pray, mother. pray!
