And so you are, my precious one,
Fun Of mischief, love and fun
Good to fill our hearts with joy,
Our darling bluc-eyed little boyI
Good to litter up the room,
Good to ride astiide the broom,
God to tip my basket DER,
Rolling spools about the floor
Good to pull tho baby's hair,
And make horse Of every chair;
Good to tumble on the floor,
And shut poor fingers in the door,
Good to wear our little shoes,
And mammals wax and thimbles lose,
Good, dear danpa's" specs to hide,
And on his foot to "tase yiie,"
Good when let out doors, to play,
To opc the gate AMI run away;
Good to watch for "papa tum,"
And clap wee hands when he gets home
Good, when wearcd out with play,
Your head on mammals lap to lay,
Quite ready now to be undressed,
And in her arms bo luled to rest
By stories which you like so well,
OF "Jsck and Gill" and "Ding dong bell !"
Good, ere cuddlipg down to sleep,
TO pray the Lord your soul to keep
Good to wake up with the day,
And fold your little hands and say:
"Dear bod, do bcss my dear ms NINA,
My baby sister, and papa,
And little Willie, too, pway,
And teep US safe froo-out ee day."

Our boy with many q winsome way,
Mishap and prank and merry play;

along the street with dowucast look

The birds were singing around her, the

flowers shedding sweet perfume in the air,
the little brook trickling over the stones
all seemed 10 be made for something ex-
cept her, she thought.
Poor little g,rl sad home she had
in an old hut, with her drunken mother
and uukind brother. The more she tried
to please them, the more they complained
Of her; till, that bright morning when
every little girl should have been happy,
she had taken her old sun-bonnet and
wandered off far from home. What mat
tered it whether she ever went back or
not? 1t would only be 70 NEE. cross

Again her lips parted, as she leaned her
head upon the soft moss patch, and she
said in q sorrowful tone, "Tbe birds aud
everything are made for something; why
wasn'tI? No, l was not made for any
thing"
Just then kind lady passed, who va
touched by the little girls sad tone
and bending over her, she said in a gen
lie tone, "Yes, little one, you were mad
for something. You were made to b'
a little angel in Heaven"
The lite girl turned her sad face to-
ward her, as if donbting what she hat
heard and said, "Mother says was no

But you aro," the kind lady added
'you are made to he . little angel il

"But where is Heaven ?" she askel
"Can 60 there now2"
And then the lady told her all abou
that happy place; and how the blessed
Jesus left His throne Of glory and cam
down upon earth, and took little childre
, in His arms, and blessed them and hov
He died cruel death, that they nigh
become little angels in Heaven.
And the little girl dried her tears, an
smiled She had forgotten her unhapp
home; for it WAS the 6rst time she ha
ever heard Of Jesus her mother ha
never taught her about God or HEAVIER

personal compliment to US intended by the
use OF that phrase in the Daily Scissors
The only circumstance that in the least mars
our enjoyment of the newly conferred dignity
is suspicion, amounting almost to certainty,
that the editor of the Scissors has not even
the remotest idea Of what classical diction-
airy is--that he th 'nks it is either an alias of
"the ring' or new continuance for cheating
washerwomen-or perhaps a new kind of
punch. Occasionally he writes a "scathing"
paragraph from which we infer that he has
a confused notion that it is book where peo-
pie who deliberately make up their minds
to appear learned, may find Latin and Greek
words or phrases all ready for use. If our
