Draw back the cradle curtains, Kate,
Whilst watch and ward you're keeping;

A world Of baby-fairy land !.
He visits while he's dreaming. - +
Monarch of pearly nowder-puf.
Asleep in nest 80 cosy, H

Though King Of Coral, Lord of Bell; -
And Knight of Bath that's tepid
Ah, lucky tyrant happy. lott!
Fair watchers without number,
To sweetly sing beside his cot,
And hush him off to slumber;
White hands in wait TO smooth so neat
His pillow when its rumpled,
On couch OF rose-leayes fresh and sweet.
Not one Of which is crumpled!
Will yonder dainty dimpled hand
Size, nothing and a quarter
E'or clasp sabre, lead band

And may ask will these blue eyes

Fer in the House Of Commons rise,
And strive to catch the Speaker's2
Will that fair brow DER Hansard frown,
Confused by lore statistic?
Or will those lips e'er stir the town
From pulpit rituaistic2
Impossible, and yet mayhap--
Though strange quiet true it may be-
Perhaps Nero once was fed on pap,
And Beales was once baby.
Though rosy, dimpled, plump and round,
Though fragile, soft and tender,
Sometimes, alasi 1t may be found
The thread OF life is slenderl
A little shoe, bitten glove
Affection never waning
The shattered idol of our love
Is all that Is remaining!
Then does one chance, in fancy, hear
Small feet in childish patter,
Tread soft as they grave draw near,
And voices hush their chatter;
'Tis small and new, they pause in fear,
Beneath the gray church tower,
To conseorate II by a tear
And deck it with flower.
Then take your babe, Kate, kiss him 80,
Fast to your bosom press himl

Though closely you caress himP

| JOhann8 IN a wretched condition: :
and the doctor being sent for, she
was put to bed and declared useless
for her domestic capacity for at least
o month to come. Atemporary sub
stitute' must be had, and Mrs. Cul-
yerton that very afternoon went to
New York to find one, at the inteIli-
gence Office. = '5,,.s7 n
Strange to say, in the hustle, she
had quite forgotten her dream, until
she suddenly stood face to face with
the very girl she had seen in it. A
small young woman, with very singu-
Lar. blue eyes, in white face, and
whose features betrayed Scottish orr
gin. She had risen-this girl-from
seat in the Office, and stood before
her, twisting her apron strings and
courtseying.
"I'd like to hire with you, ma'am,"
che sa;Gdl.
The very words of the dream, also.
Mrs. Culverton started, and in her
confusion could only say:
"Why?"
The girl blushed.
81 do { know" she said, "only it
seems to me, I'd like to live with
you"
1t seemed fatal thing to Mrs. Gull
verton; but she put the usual aues-
tions and received the most satisfac-
tory answers, except as to references.
'But I can't employ you without q
reference" said Mrs. c., knowing
that fate had decreed that this girl
should take place in her kitchen.
eff you can't, I must out with it,"
said the girl. "There's my lady's
name, ma'am. She will tell you I'm
honest and capable; but she turned
me off for frightening the family"
"How?" asked Mrs. Culverton.
''Seeing ghosts" replied the girl.
Every day, saw q little child in
white playing about the house; and
all said there was no such child there,
though there had been once, but he
was dead. Mistress said I pretended
to see it for the sake of impertinence,
and she discharged me; but I knew
by her trembling that she thought
had seen ghost. I went to doctor
and he called it optical delusion, and
it would soon pass away; and, sure
enough, have not seen it since I
left the house."
It was queer story; but Mrs.
Culvertoa believed it, and before she
left the Office, had hired Jessie to fill
Johanna's place, for the space of one
month from that day. That evening,
she came, and went to work with q
will.
Dinner-timo passed comfortably,
and tea-time came. The Culvertons
never ate anything but biscuit or
cake ut this meal, and cups were
handed about in the sitting room.
Jessie came in at the appointed hour
with her tray, served every one, and
then stood smiling before Mrs. Gull
verton, as she said:
'Please, ma'am, let me pass you;
the old gentlemen has not been
helped. Yes, sir, in minute"
"The-old-gentleman!" cried Mrs.
Culverton.
eyes, ma'am-behind you in the
corner, there, please"
'"There's no gentleman, young or
old, there" said the lady. "I can't
imagine what you took for one"
The girl made no answer, but
turned quite white, and left the room.
Mrs. @. followed.

M& uMcLE's GHOST.

The scenes L am about to describe
occurred about the year 1860, to q
respectable family, by the name of
Culverton, in Orange County. New
York.
The Culvertons had lived in the
old family mansion and enjoyed the
revenues of the family estate for
many years, without the slightest
doubt that they had o right to it,
when suddenly there started up,
from goodness knows where, an indi-
vidual who laid claim to the property.
and seemed likely to prove his claim
to all but the Culvertons themselves.
1t was certain Jabez Hardy was the
nearest relative, and certain that Mrs.
Cuiverton was only grand-niece of
Hiram Hardy, deceased; but the
Cnlvertons had lived with the old
man for years, and he had promised,
time and again, to leave them every
thing. BE had even declared that
his will was made in their favor; and
that such document was actually in
existence, Mr.. Culverton could not
doubt; but diligent search had been
made in vain, and Jabez Hardy,
whom the old man never saw, was to
take the place of people he loved so
fondly, and who had been his COM
fort in his last hours.
ut was a shame!" said every one.
tA cruel, wicked thingp' sobbed
Mrs. Culverton.
And MIR. Culverton, who had never
expected reverse, was quite crushed
as the pending lawsuit progressed.
A thousand times day, he said:
"How providential it would be if
Uncle Hiram's will would turn up at
this moment. Iwonder how he can
rest, poor man, with such injustice
going on"
But no matter what they said, or
how they managed, no will was
found, and Jabez rubbed his hands
in triumph.
1t was strange, that while matters
were in this condition, one so deeply
Interested in the subject as Mrs. Gull
verton necessarily wins, should dream
of anything else; but dream she did,
night after night, of an entirely diff
ferent subject.
Inevitably, for week at least, she
had no sooner closed her eyes than
she found herself in an intelligence
Office, full of employees of ali ages
and nations, and face to face with q
girl of small stature, with white
Scotch features, and singular blue
eyes, wide apart and staring, who de-
cired the situation of cook.

words were uttered--until Mrs. chi.
verton began to think there must I've
something in the dream.
Though it can't come true, said
she, ''for while Johanna remain,

And just as she said this, there wa.

errand girl ran in, frightened out O
