Where Shall the Baby's Dimple be?


Over the cradle mother hung,
Softly grooming slumber song;
And these were the simple words she sung
All the evening long:
"Cheek or chin, or knuckle or knee,
Where shall the baby's dimple be!
Where shall the angels finSer rest
When he comes down to the babys nest?
Where shall the angels touch remain
When he awakens my babe again?"
Still as she bent and sang so low,>
A murmur into her music broke;
And she paused to hear. for she could but know
The baby's angel spoke;
Cheek or chin, knuckle or knee.
Where shall the baby's dimple be?
Where shall my finger fall and rest
When come down to the baby's nests
Where shall my fingers touch remain
When awaken your babe againY Z"
Silent the mother sat and dwclt
Long in the sweet delay of choice;
And then by her baby's side she knclt,
And sang with pleasant voice
Not on the limb, Oh angel dear!
For the charm with its youth will disappear
Not on the cheek shall the dmple be,
For the hai boring smile will fade and fee;
But touch thou the chin with an impress deep,
And my baby the angels seal shall keep"

THANKSGIVING Dan.

Since this New England Festival day
has become nationalized by appointment
of the President, it hardy seems necessary
for our New England Governors to issue
their ProclamatioRs. though it is well for
them 10 do 50 to impress the observance
OF the day the more strongly upon their
people.
Massachusetts originated the idea Of
day of thanksgiving, in gratitude for their
first season of a bountiful harvest, after
suffering great privationS. The other
New England States joined in the observ-
ance OF a similar day, anil thus it became,
for long time, distinctive New Eng
land custom. 1t should go hand it hand
with F'qSi ddg. At the commencement of
each season -lor the one is the fruilion Of
the faith AMI trust implied, il not cNer-
cised in the other.
Ii is said that before the first Thanks
giving, the Governor sent out "fowling
expedition" tina. for their thanksgiving
dinners, and for the festivities ofthe week,
they might have "more dainty AMI abun
dant materials than ordinary" So ever
since, the Thanksgiving dinnerhaS consist

this year with almost rs much reason
anl certainty as Levelrier proclaimed and
discovered. upon BODIES famous law and
without any other basis. the existence OF
the planet which bears his name. Under
such circumstances the Republican victory
which gives us from fifty to sixty majority
in Congress, may justly be regarded as
brilliant and transcendent triumph. II
establishes with conspicuous and UNI
paralleled distinctncss the firm hold
the Republican party has upon the con
fidence of the country. II demonstrates
one other thing No reader has failed TO
remark, in pursuing this retrospect, that
the party which carried the second Con-
greSs of an Administration has almost in
variably carried the next Presidency. To
this rule there has scarcely been an ex-
ccption. And so the general triumph OF
the Republican party in 1870 presagcs its
gr1ndcr triumph in 1872.
