GOLDEN HAIR.


Oolden Halr sat on grandfather's knee,
Dear little Golden Hair, tired was she,
All day busy as busy could be.
Up in the morning as soon as t was ligEs;
Out with the birds and butterflies bright;
Fitting about till the coming of night.
Grandfather toyed with the curls on her head,
What has my baby been doing?" he said,
Since she rose with the sun, from her little
bed:"
"Pitty much"-answered the sweet little one,
"I can not tell-much have done.
Played with dolly, and feeded MY bun.
"And I have jumped with my little jump-rope
And then made out of water and soap,
Buftile worlds-mamma's castles of hape.'
"Then read in my picture-book;
And little Bell and l went to look
For some smooth stones by the side of the brook
"Then | have coined homeland eaten my tea,
And climbed up to my grandpapas knee;
I'm ies as tired as tired can be-"
We are but children; the things that we do
Are as sports of 4 babe to the Infinite view,
That sees all our weakness and pities it, too.
And grant that when night overshadows oul
way,
And we shall be called to account for the day,
He may find it as guileless as Golden Hair
play.
And oh! when a-weary may we be so blest,
And sink like an innocent child to our rest,
And feel ourselves clasped to the Infinite breast

know that to confer the elective fran
chise upon the Chinese would be to hand
this State over to the control of capital
lists or corporations who would control
this vote, or, if they know it, are reckless
of evils in which they and their constit-
uents have no direct share, and from
which perhaps they may think they will
derive benefit.

Know'st thou, Gretchen, how it happen:
That the dear ones die?
God walks daily in the garden
While the sun shines high:
In that garden there are rescs
Beautiful and bright,
And he gazes round delighted
With the lovely right;
If He marks ono gayly blooming,
Than the rest more fair,
He will pause and look upon it,
Full of tender rare;
And the beauteois rose He gathers
In His bosom lies
But on earth are tears and sorrow,
Fer dear one dies!

THE PRINCE rs DEAD!
BY HELEN HUNT.

/ room in the palace is shut; the king
And the queen are sitting in black;
All day, weeping servants will run and bring,
But the heart of the queen viii lack
All things and the eyes of the king will swim
With tears that may not be shed, ~
But will make all the air float dark and dim,
As he looks at each gold and silver toy,
And thinks how it gladdeued the royal boy;
And dumbly writhe while the courtiers read
How all the nations his SORROW heed.
The Prince is dead!
The hut has door, but the hinge is weak,
And to-day the wind blows it back;
There are two sitting there who do not speak
They have begged few rags of black.
They are hard at work, though thoir eyes arc
With tears that may not be shed;
They dare not look where the cradle is set,
They hate the sunbeam that plays on the floor,
But makes the baby laugh out no more;
They feel as if they were turning to stone;
They wish the neighbors would leave them
alone.
The Prince is dead!
