MEASURING THE BABY.

by EMMA ALICE BROWNE.
We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage
A lily grew at the threshold,
And the boy was just as tall
royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And a heart like a jewelled chalce
The fragrant dew to hold:
With out, he bluebirds whistled
High up in the old rooftrees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her beesr
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never moment still,
Snatching at shine and shadow
That danced on the lattice sill
His eyes were wide as bluabells-
His mouth like flower unblvwn-
Two little bare feet, like funny white mice,
Peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought, with thrill of rapture
That yet had a touch of pain,
When June rolls around with her roses,
Well measure the boy again.
All me! In darkened chamber,
With.the sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like bitter rain,
We measured the boy tc-iay :;
And the little bare feet, that were dlmpled
And sweet as budding rose,
Lay side by side together,
In the hush of a long repose!
Up from the dainty pillow
White as the rising dawn,
The fair IittIe ACE lay smiling
With the light of heaven thereon
And the dear little hands, like rose leaves,
Dropped from rose, lay still,
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept on tie shrouded sill
We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below:
And out of the dtrkened chamber
We went with n childless moan
To the height Of The sinless angels
Our LITTLE one had grown!

Lambs hand was not much lacerated
by the dog, and no anxiety was felt as
to. serious consequences The dog, a
very valuable one was however killed
by Mr.. Bergen ar sasa.f ~
/ On Tuesday of last week young
Lamb was married to thelobiect of
his choice, but, against the, wishes of
her mother, who at ronce visited the
young couple aud expressed her feel
ings in pretty hard language, winding
mp with the wish that, her daughter
would be a widow within three. months,
On the day after the wedding the
husband showed symptoms of hydro
phobia, and MEDICAL trcatinenh a W lille
appeared, to have a good effect but
subsequently, Lamb sprang from his
bed and fed to the woods, where he
carried on all sorts of antics, jumped
over fences and barked like u dog,
His friends, allied by the police, cap
tured him and took him to his house,
where his rawlings, barking, and hide

character. Early yesterday morning

The Tariff

The new tariff bill has been defeat.
ed, and laid aside for the present; and
the old tariff, with its Ubiquitous dis
examinations in favor of New England,
win remain a law for the coming year.
That law is most unjust in every par
ticular,aad was intended to pampel
the monopolists at the expense of the
West and South
The bill, just defeated, was a great
er sham, if possible, than the present
law. A few articles were reduced 8
trife, bat in the main, the act was as
odious and oppressive as the present
law. Its gross injustice: was such,
that even the Radicals were compelled
TO divide upon it, and finally were
forced to abandon the measure, to the
great modification of "Vfenna Bob.
Schenck," father of the brat. 81
The Western and Southern men :
bers cyinced an intention to vote in
opposition to the bill. In this, they
showed, some regard to the wishes of
their constituents The interests of
the West and South are reciprocal on
the tariff question, Ifthe West viii

its surplus produce, cattle, pork and.

While pampering the .bIoated New
England monopolist and manufacturer,
the protection of the western farmer
IL wholly overlooked. Still. New
England clamors for more! Having
rsissd her tariffs to the point of prohi-
Bition, she now wants all the bank,

her monopolists want all our western
lands for pretended railroads. When.
