Tho Baby's Drawer.

Inc 1hby brhWef'
There's little drawer in my chamber,
Guarded with tenderest care,
Where the dainty clothes arc lying,
That my darling shall never wear.
And there, while tho hours are waning,
Till tho house is all ut rest
sit and fancy baby
Close to my aching breast,
My darling's pretty white garments
wrought them, sitting apart,
While his mystic life was throbbing
Under my throbbing heart.
And often my happy dreaming
Breaks in little song,
Like the murmur of birds at brooding,
When the days are warm and long.
finished the dainty wardrobe,
And the drawer was almost full
With robes of the finost muslin,
And robes of the fnost wool.
folded them all together,
With rose for every pair,
Smiling, and saying; "Gem garment,
Fit for my prince to wear"
All the radiant summer morning,
So full of a mothers joy!
Thank God, he is fair and perfect
My beautiful, newborn boy"
Let him wear the pretty white garments
wrought while sitting apart
Lay him, SO sweet and SO helpless,
Here, close to my throbbing heart.
Many and many an evening
sit, since my baby came,
Saying, "What do the angels call himS"
For ho died without name;
Sit while the hours arc waning,
And the house is all at rest,
And fancy baby nostling
Close to my aching breast.

A young woman was admitted to the
Freshman class of Bates College, in
Maine, last week. Her preparation for
college was remarkably good. She had
read in Greek five books of the Anabasis,
three of Homer and four of the Odyssey
in Latin nine books of the Kneid, seven
of Cicero, five of the Bucolics, one of
Caesar, several of Sallust, four of Ovid,
three of Horace, and halfa book of Livy,
together with fine preparation in math-
ematics.
A correspondent of the Boston Journal
says the whiskey destroyed by the late
Philadelphia fire, would have made sixty
one millions of straight drinks which, at
fifteen cents glass, would amount to
S60,000,000, more than one third of the
national debt. Probably the one who
made this calculation had takentoo many
straight drinks himself, The drinks
would not come to anything like tho sum
named, as may be easily seen.
The city authorities of Boston have
purchased several scores of iron birds
nests, to be attached to the trees in the
parks. They are an English invention,
used exclusively for sparrows in Great
Britain. The nests are in variety OF
forms, and are so constructed that the
birds can hatch their young, be protected
from the weather, and safe from all in
truders. They are attached to the limb
of a tree by screw, and are ventilated
from the bottom.

The Game of Chess.

THE story of the origin of the game Of
chess is something after this wise: An an
cient ruler, wearied with the old, n-out
sports of the period, offered reward for
the invention of a game which should
combine amusement and instruction. His
Grand Vizier thereupon, after long study,
invented the game ofchess, as being pas
time and as teaching in epitome the art of
concentrating forces, attacking, defending,
retreating, etc, as applied to military tao
tics The King was so delighted with the
game that he told the ,Vizier to name his
own reward. The wise man replied that
for his reward he would only ask for
certain number of kernels of corn, on the
following plan: Two kernels for the first
square on the chess board, four kernels for
the second square, eight for the third, and
so on up to the sixty fourth square, the
number of kernels for each square being
double that for the preceding one. The
King, laughing, granted the modest re-
quest, but, upon computation, it was dis
covered that, not only was there not so
much grain in the kingdom, but that the
so1tole scorld could hardly produce, in half
a score of years, the grain necessary to
make good the kings promise. .
Allowing 1870 grains of corn to the
ounce, and Sc pounds to the bushel, the
amount required to fill the bill would be
17,343, SAG, ,416,S87 bushels, and some odd
pounds over. The number of grains
would be 9,565, 5,810,662, 2,S46, 1881, 1886.

threw that noble lord into fresh parox-
,ysms of wrath. He. sent crushing an
swer, refusing longer to recognize her as
child of his, and heaping curses upon
her and her Italian. Like a sensible Eng
lish girl, our heroine took this all very
philosophically, and sang nlerrily ira la la
to the music of a guitar, until the peculiar
purity and freshness of her voice attract
ed the critical attention of her husband.
He called in a celebrated maestro to hear
her sing, and was rejoiced to learn that
his wife had voice worth fortune to
her. A master was at once secured for
the lively lady; she studied the Italian
language and artistic method with avidity,
and, at the request of her lord, consented
to sing in public. AS a result, the whole
city went wild with enthusiasm over a
new diva, and she received an invitation
to become second ctdateuSe at La Scala.
Accepting, she gained such series of tri-
umphs that her husband was frantic with
mingled pride and Joy. On the occasion
of her benefit he ejevinced this spirit by Civ
ing grand supper to the diIettdnt5 of
Milan, retired to his bed in an exalted
state of intoxication, and died of apoplexy
before morning. His lady buried him with
sincere sorrow, and was hardly conscious of
what would be her next step when she re-
ceived an offer of an engagement at the
English Royal Italian Opera. With subdued
joy she took advantage of the opportunity
to see once more her native land, and
under her fanciful Italian stage name was
soon captivating the musical Londoners
by herr glorious voice. When her Eng
lish fame was at its height, the Earl of
D, hearing particularly of her beau
ty, went to the opera to observe for him
self He recognized his ungrateful daugh;
ter, and even swelled with paternal pride
winds Of applause greeted her at the ter
mination of each act of the "Figlia." A
surprising magnanimity took possession
of his noble breast. He would reclaim
the organ-grinder's widow; ne would
raise her to his own sphere again he
would restore his fatherly favor to the idol
of art and the haut ton, and would finally
marry her off to some titled noodle.
Filled with these generous intentions, he
deputed friend to bear his card to the
dressingroom of the prima donna, and
was much astonished at her refusal to see
him. :" She fears my reproaches," said
he, after due consideration and on the
morrow caused the same friend as before
to bear his offer of paternal recognition
to the goddess of song. The friend was
readily admitted to an audience, and be-
came therefrom astonished for the remain
der of his life. The lady said: "My
father cast me off for marrying the gentle
man of my choice. He refused to recog
nize me in my days of poverty and OBJ
scurity Now that am rich and famous,
| refuse to recognize him. Let us be
strangers to each other" All further adj
his daughter remain strangers.

A Race for Life.


On Sunday afternoon the Fort Wayne
Railroad Company sent construction
train up the road preparatory to the COM
mencement of work on Monday morning,
as is the usual custom. The engineer,
anxious, of course, to make his Sunday
work as short as possible, rushed the train
out of the depot and around the curve to
the bridge at the top of its speed. Upon
arriving at the bridge, however, he saw
that which caused him to reverse the en-
gine and.apply the brakes with all his
force. A man with his wife and two chill
dren were on the narrow portion of the
bridge, where it is just wide enough for a
train to pass, about midway of its length
of six hundred feet. Neither end could
be reached by the imperiled family before
the train would rush upon them; but the
father and husband was equal to the emer-
gency.
Catching up the children in his arms, he
told his wife he would see to them, and
bade her run toward the end of the bridge,
until the train should reach her, and then
Jump into the water. She must run for
her life, as her safety depended upon her
getting near enough to the shore to find
shallow water before being overtaken by
the train. She did as directed, and when
she felt the hot breath of the iron monster
she jumped from the bridge, fortunately
alighting in not more than two feet of
water and weeds, and the train passed her
in safety. But what of the father and
little ones He could not run with them !;
and while almost distracted with fears of
his wife's safety, he was bound to find
some escape for them. Taking the little
ones in his arms, he coolly and steadily, in
the face of the approaching train, lowered
himself with them to brace beneath the
bed timbers, and there held them fast
within a few feet of the water, while the
train came laundering over them. About
the time the.engineer reached the centre
OF the bridge the exertions of the engineer
and brakemen effected the stoppage of the
train, and their assistance was rendered
to extricate the frightened family from
their yet perilous position, and they went
on their way, thankful for their deliver
ance.-Jdckso'a, INich. Citizen.
