BABY's FIRST TOOTH.

Come look at the dainty darling!
As fresh as a new-blown rose,
From the top of his head so golden,
To the dear, little restless toes;
You can tell by the dancing dimples,
By the smiles that come and go,
He is giving wonderful secret
You'd give half your kingdom to know,
Now kiss him on cheek and forehead
And kiss him on lip and chin;
The little red mouth is hiding
The rarest of pearls within.
All, see! when the lips in smiling
Have parted their tender red;
Do you see the tiny, white jewels,
Set deep in the choral bed?
Nowhere are the sage reporters,
Who wait by hamlet and hill,
To tell the listening nation
The news of its good or i'll?
Come weave with our idle gossip
This golden blossom of truth
Jest halt gear old this morning,
A1id one little peariy tooth!

INDIAN CORN.

For many mile on every side,
Isee the golden corn,
And hear the cricket's notes around
Sound like fairy horn
In concert with the wild bees drone,
In elfin murmurs borne.
Long, long ago, as legends tell,
The Indian fairy queen
Unto the ancient DelawareS
Came down upon the green, .u,.
An azure glory round her head,
Her robes vapOry sheen.
And where she sat tobacco soon
Its bitter fragrance flung,
And where her left hand touched the bean
Rose Towering fresh and young;
And where her right hand swept, the maize
Ingolden glory sprung.
And whether you do eat it roast,
Or take it baked in pone,
Or like it best as Johnny cake
So let its truth be known,
That corn first came from fairy land
ADD was by fairies grown.
