WEIGHING THE BABY.
BY ETHEL LYNN.

b1 LINN
"How many pounds does the baby weigh,
Baby who came buta month ago;
How many pounds from the Growing curl
To the rosy point Of the restless tooF"
Grandfather ties the kerchief's knot,
Tenderly guides the swinging weight,
And carefully over his glasses peers,
To read the record, "Only eight"
Softly the echo goes around
The father laughs at the tiny girl
The fair young mother sings the words,
While grandmother smoothes the golden
curl.
And stopping over the precious thing,
Nesties kiss within prayer;
Murmuring softly, "Little one,
Grandfather did not weigh you fair"
Nobody weighed the baby's smile,
Or love that came with the helpless one !;
No one weighed the threads Of care
From which woman's life is spun.
No index tells the mighty worth
OF little baby's quiet breath,
A soft, unceasing metronome
Patient and faithful unto death.
Nobody weighed the baby's soul,
For here on earth no weights there be
That would avail. God only knows
It's value in eternity.
Only eight pounds to hold soul
That seeks no angels silver wing,
But shrines it in this human guise
Within so fair and small 3 thing.
Oh, mother. laugh your merry note,
Be gay and glad, but don't forget
From baby's eyes looks out soul,
That claims a home in Eden yet.
