How I wish this might find you in the

But our baby is none of your common

She laughs (and cries) so pretty, you
can have no idea how handsome she is.
It is decided by the best judges Cher

says, what pretty child-how much she

Why. you can't think how I acted the
| day the stranger came along.
Mrs Broadman and I were the attend

I didn't either.
Felt a little considerable scared; looked
for my hat two. three, several times; and
wondered how far it was to Texas.
| After the excitement was over wasn't
| tickled some?
If it hadn't been for that white hat of
mine couldn't have told which end my
head was on.
went up stairs dozen times or less
after my hat--went and looked at the ba-
by, and forgot it every time.
Sold man some goods on tick, and
charged him zone baby, sixpence per
pound"
But | am calmer now; [ think I shall
entirely recover
Begin to think that baby amt such a
cunning affair after all
It's quite night institution.
1t takes one half of the bed, and right
in the middle, and [ have to sleep around
on the edges.
Can't roll over and kick as I used to-
might waken up the baby.
And if | just happen to roll on the little
thing in the night, then there's fuss, for
my wife would make "a great ado If |
should kill that baby
She sleeps with one eye open

The other night [ went to bed as usual
got into a snooze, when my wife called,
John John there's mouse in my band
box, and it will ruin my bonnet"
Well, | roll off the bed rail and make
for the band box.
Mouse takes the hint and leaves, and |
balance mysilf on the bed rail again, go
| to sleep, dream of the song whic says,
Bless me, this is pleasant, riding on a

But soon [ am awakened by my wife,

And bitter and sad were the tears she shed.

For none give heed to the words speak,
And in vain for promise of fruit seek,
Where the seed OF the Word is sown."
And again with sorroving heart she wept,
For her spirit with grief was stirred @ft
Till the night grew dark AID at last she slept
And a silent calm Ger her spirit crept, -
And a whisper OF peace" was heard.
And she tho't in her dream her soul took flight

And harps were ringing and robes were white.
Made white in Savioar's blood. s1E

And sorrow and signing no place had found,

She had told her charge of Saviour's grace.
And their need of a second birth. ~

And she rose in joy, and her eye was bright,
Her sorrow and grief had fled -.
And her soul was ealm and her heart was light
For her hands were strong in her Savior's might
As forth to her work she sped.
