A CURIOUS QUESTION.
A dnughter!-

A dnughterl-
Well; what brought her?
Kitty asks-"How came she hereY"
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-"IIow came she here?
Father, tell mc-it's 50 queer;
Yesterday we had no sister,
Else Pm sure l should have kissed her
When went to bed last night!
And this morning hailed her sight
With n strange and new delight,
For, indeed, 1t passes all
To have sister not 30 tall
AS my doll!-and with blue eyesY
And-I do declarel-it cries'
Last night did not see her, father,
Or I'm sure had much rather
STAYED at home as still us mouse,
Than played all day ut grandma's house
She is pretty and so tiny
And what makes her face so shiny
Will it always be like thatY
Win it swell up plump and iatY
Like my little doll; or tall
Like my wax one? Tell me all
About her, papa dear,
For do SO long to hear
Where She came from. And who brought
her,
your's and mama's bran new daughter
A daughter!-another daughter
And the question is, "What brought herf'
Spence, our boy, but three years Old
Saws the nurse did-and is bold,
In defiance of them both
Since to yield his place he's 10th,
And, pouting, feels his noses point
When declare It's out of joint.
But though the childish explanation
Be food enough for child's vexation,
We older folks must better find,
To feed the hunger Of the mind.
To lis, of largor issues preaching
This link of life eternal reaching
From earth to heaven, this newborn soul
Comes fresh from where ever roll
Itseountless years through yonder heaven,
Has deeper cause for thinking given
A daughtcrl-
And what brought herr
No matter what-she comes 10 bring
A blessing in her life's young spring,
-
Our daughter, sister, baby dear!-
Open your hearts, and let her enter,
Open them wide, for God hath sent her, v

''Lo! THE Poor NEaRo-''-This
is but one of thousand similar cases
that have occurred in various parts
of the South. We copy the follow
ing from the Louisville Courier:
ga gentleman of this city, who was
banished to the South by the militia
ry authorities during the war, left a
negro woman with three children in
this city, who, for some three years,
had been acting for herself, and q
part of the time assisted by husband
to whom she was married some year
and a half ago. Recently, the woman
died, and such was the penury of her
self and husband, not even coffin
could be paid for, and the funeral
expenses (some $30) had to be defray-
ed by her late master-a returned, re-
constructed Ie5ee,,. Iei5ee, Tie children we're
left in utter destitution, and to save
them from starvation, have to be
cared for by their late owner"

Prussiaehas declared to the German Diet
that the warhke preparations on her part
are entirely of a defensive character.
The Austrian reply to tho Prussian note
was conciliatory, but declines to disarm
under the circumstances.
The warlike preparations Of Venetia are
being pushed forward energeticary. 1t
was rumored that Venetia would soon be
placed in state ot siege.
A mutual understanding has been ar
rived at between France and Austria, in
accordance with which Austria undertakes
that, should Italy attack Venetia indepen-
IDENTITY Of France, none Of the eventual re-
suits Of victory will be secured by Austria,
without the diplomatic Intervention of
France. The asserted object Of Austria in
menacing Prussia and Italy is to force
England to assent to European Congress.
