THE CHILDREN.

The little children were In mercy sent:
The winning beauty of their happy smiles
Is sor ow's antidote; their artless wiles
Lure gladness from the wrinkled brow Of Carei
The ills of life were more than we couldbear
Had not kind Heaven the little children lent,
Fair as the angels, and as innocent;
They are ionnt Of love that faileth never
OH on the waters Of Life's discontent-
Links in Loveschsh that bind fond hearts for ever
The blessed crown of holy wedocks joys-
An unpolut cd spring that never clogs
Happy that hearth and home kind Fortune biessss
With the rich treasure Of their sweet earssses.

A wicked wag says the reason young ladies
look so bold and fierce in the latter days is, that
they tie their hair SO tightly on the back of the
head that they cannot shut their eyes, which
gives them their fierce look, and then their
tremendous waterfalls so balance their heads up
that they seem to "cock their chins' at every
body, hence their bold, defiant look. 80
