The Empty Cradle.

THERE Is n whole volume Of poetry in
the following little sketch, which we
find in n late number of Miss Barber's
weekly.
We met John on the stairs He was car
rying an old cradle, to be slowed away
among what he termed "plunder" in the
lumber room. One rocker was gone, and
the wicker work Of the sides broken It
was an old wllowy affair, but we could
not refrain from casting sad look into its
empty depths
"Goncl' wc said drcamily, "All gone ~

here, heads on which the curls grew moist
In slumber, and the checks and lips flushed
to the hue of rose lcaycs When sleep
broke, the silken frlngcd lids opened heav.

fitted like sunbeams over the face the
white fist was thrust into the mouth, and
when mamma lifted the muslin and peepcd
to see If baby was sleeping, cooling and
Growing were heard
The little feet began 10 kick, out of pure
delight, and kicked on until both of the
tiny red shoes were landed at the foot of
the cradle. Where are those hands now
Some that were embrowned by vigorous
manhood are sleeping ON battle. fields, some
are bleachcd with time and cares and
they have growr sore and weary on the
rough paths Of life.
Perhaps some little one, once tenderly
rocked here, is sleeping in the coffin. Over
1t grows henrtseasc, and vigorous box and
white candy-tuft. and the starry jasmine.
The blueblrd nutcrs. its bright wings
through the willow bough, and the cool
wind whispers to the green leaves and
grass blades ON tho grave. What off

The fremont House, Chicago.

RECENT IMrRovEMENTs--A MODEL HOTEL.
Ever since about the first Of last January, Mr..
John B. Drake, sole proprietor Of the fremont
House, has been having the house rehtted in the
latest style, and has been adding all the modern
hotel improvements. IL has been done SO quietly
that but few knew Of It, and yet the whole cost Of
the improvements exceeds $4,000. The work is
now entirely completed, and the fremont House
lacks nothing 70 make II perfect, and to maintain
the reputation II has had far and near, for many
years :
and so, too, the interior, where needed Many Of
the private parlors, and all Of the public rooms,
have been beautifully and appropriately frescoed
The frescoing in the gentlemen's writing room
is especially noticeable fishes, fowls and queer
animals being strangely and charmingly mingled
The halls have been newly-carpeted with Wilton
and Brussels; while the parloTs and many OF the
private rooms have also been newly-covered. The
cost CT the carpets alone is said to exceed DO
The ladies' parlo~s, perhaps the most elegant suite

OF $1,000. The furniture In these. psrlors lie Of

have been newly laid with marble flooring. Hot
and cold water has been introduced into about
seventy-hve more sleeping rooms, and many more
closets and baths have been added One of At
woods vertical railway elevators they being the
best in use, costing over 81 ,0OO, has been added,
and will be found to be great convenience.
Now that the exterior and interior OF the Ire
mont House are on par with the eating depart
ment, and with the attention paid to all who 90
there, 1t can fear no rival Under Mr. Drake,
seconded as he is by Mr.. Felt, formerly of the
Lindel House, ST. Louis, and by Mr.. Turner. the
fremont cannot fail to prosper in every way, ana
the generous outlay of the proprietor will be fully
returned to him. 1t combines the comforts OF
home with all the luxuries of the present day

Languor, debility and low spirits are often the

Sick headache, pain in the right side, and yell

Flatulence, nausea, oppression after eating,

All physicians admit that innumerable lives are
sacrificed every year that might have been saved
by precautionary medication. Remember that one

the springing spirit of free inquiry, with
an impatient word or irown, nor attempt,
on the contrary, u long and IN
structivc reply to every slight and cas-

their curiosity Convert, if possible, the
careless question into profound and earn

than To answer the inquiry. Let our reply

your child the molGculo of truth he asks
for, you can whCt his curiosity with n

but fires, that may either scorch us with
their uncontrolled fury, or may yield us u

Stealing Sermons.

THE rector and curate of an English
parish had been absent for some time; but
they were efficiently represented while
they were away. They returned to re-
sumo duty on the same day. The curate
| TOOK the morning service, while the rector
| otliciated for friend in neighborinp
parish; but the rector was present in the
evening to preach after the curate had
read prayers. The sermon in the MORN
ing was so good that the members of the
congregation congratulated themselves on
the effects the change of air had had on
the preachers style and powers generally.
When the rector assembled the pulpit In
the evening they hoped that iudicious
holiday time had had the same effect upon
him, and they felt that they would be the
better able to judge when they heard him
give out the same text which had formed
the subject of the curate's illustration in
the forenoon. Very soon, however, they
found that 1t was not only the same text,
but the same sermon; and then the face
OF the congregation assumed variety of
expression that might have detied Herr
Schultz himself to represent There was
but one placid countenance in the whole
church, and that was the preachers, who
went on quite unconscious of the DAYS
history and its consequences. There was
but one face besides that did not bear upon
it an expression of fun, or comic surprise,
a laughable perpleXity and puzzlement,
and that was the curate's. He, good man
looked the more concerned and abashed as
be tried TO look otherwise-the more he
strove TO assume guise of indifference the
more intensly Mortified he grew. In short
the two worthy personageS had, unknown
to each other, purchased dozen or so of
autographed manuscript sermons, and
they had had the Ill luck, without com
munication with each other, to select the
same sermon wherewith to inaugurate
their return TO the old pasture. The pee
pie, however, were good-natured people,
the two clergymen were worthy men, and
beyond a harmless joke or two no harm
came of this little miSadyenture.-Dr.
D0ae'S Saints and SiaRerS.
