That Baby wv. - WAY.

Eh4t N&at.
As I'VE sat at my cha'hUe' ";n
rve noticed again ana aga"
-. s,,-oatest of baby figures
ne .,,,osite window pane
-, daintIly dimpled'
Rosy mat, without any check,
Sdble and twist in confusion,
with the corals about its neck
t,ves-but to mention the color,
must wait for nearer view,
1houah think may state, at venture,
rpeyTu match with the ribbons of blue.
Feet With tI,eIr tiny brOnzed slippers,
And the dearest of wee chubby fists,
And arms, in whose foldings of fairness
You must search for the little ones wrists.
Sometimes throw kisses to baby,
And back come the kisses to me,
And the intricate game of bo-peep"
Is source Of infinite glee,
That lights up the smiles and the dimples;
So think we may truthfully say,
That have an established Irritation
With the baby over the way.
But how has mat little one stolen
march on my foolish old heart?
And why, as .-atch those bright eyes,
VIII the quick tear instinctively start?
Ali because in the long ago years,
Ere time mingled my tresses with grey,
], too, had baby as lovely
As the little one over the way.
From the white robe and clustering curis,
From tht piston Of infantine joy,
oh sadly, SO sadly turn
To all have left of my boy;
To the babysclothes, yellow with age,
To the curl that once lay on his brow,
To the old-fashioned cradle-the nest
SO drearily tenantless now.
The first grief comes back to me then,
The longing that cannot be told,
For rs sSs SIGHT of the dear little face,
sEror my own darling baby to hold;
J d "a my arms ache with emptiness SO
nat feel am hardly content
wait for the summons to go
The way that my little one went.
And so, for the sake Of tie JOY
That long ago gladdened my heart,
For the light that once shone on my way,
So quickly. alas TO depart;
For the love that bore my one darling,
All babies are dearer to-day;
And / think must call on the mother
OF that baby over the way.

TIE LITTLE SISTERS OF CHARITY.-One
of the pleasantest things We saw on our
late journey was glimpse of two little
sisters of charity. Somewhere above Fitch
burg, as we stopped for twenty minutes at
a station, amused myself by looking out
of a window at a pretty waterfall which
came tumbling over the rocks and spread
into a wide pool that flowed up to the
railway. Close by stood a cattle train,
and the mournful sounds that came from it
touched my heart Full in the hot sun
stood the cars, and every crevice of room
between the bars across the doOrways was
filed with pathetic noses, shifting eagerly
at the sultry gusts that blew by, with now
and then fresher breath from the pool
that lay dimpling before them. How they
must have suffered, in sight of water,
with the cool dash of the fall tantalizing
them, and not drop to wet their poor,
lparched mouths. The cows lowed dismal

Fsshe blessed air, bleating so plaintively the
while, that l was tempted to get out and
Pee what | could do for them. But the
time was nearly up, and while hesitated
two little girls appeared, and did the deed
much better than l could have done it
{ couldn't hear what they said; but their
friendly little faces grew quite lovely &c
ne, in spite Of the tan, the old hats, the

FAILURE OF Cows TO BREED.-Iu the sum

that for two seasons had failed breed.
During her first heat she was with the bull

and left alone the third and last time | was
advised to bleed her; she being rather fleshy,
took six quarts of blood from her she wac
then served by the same bull in due time
she dropped calf, and Is now with cali

POETRY.
From Old and New.
Two SnOw-Flakes.
BIZ ISABELLA GRANT MEREDITH

ISABELLA
Two dainty snow-cry stalls came floating down,
the dun clouds brooding above the TOW
As pure as the white plumes of Raphael,
Stainless, and perfect, they silently fell.
One, high on the cross of the old church spire,
In the evening red, cleaned like sacred fire;
And one, fallen lower, was doomed to lie
In the path ofttrampled by passers-by.
Then the crystals cold heart, in lofty pride,
Did the low estate of its twin deride;
Deeming that through her own worth, it hefel,
That she had not fallen in mire, as well;
As proud, as If she had toiled to attain
That height, so secure from al haru and STAIN
The other sought by prayerful strife
To rise from her fall TO prrer life.
This hope this faith, was her true hearts prize :
'sThough fallen low, shall rise,-I shall risei +"
While she patient waited, her song had cheer,
The snowflake on high could not choose but h
Though out-cast, down-trodden, my days are sp
Think not that linger in base contenti
" My purity sdllied,-my beauty laid low
shall yet be white as the drifted snow.
" Sometime, somewhere, it will all be made plai
Why yours was the glory,-and mine, the stain
"a Fain would L share your white nest on the roc
But the Father knoweth,-his ways are good
And still her Resurgam she bravely sung,
Till dawn its bright banners of light up-nung,
And the sun shone forth from his golden bower
Upon chursh-yard pathway, and ivied tower.
The snow crystal melting beneath his beam,
Vanished away Ike beautiful dream
Her 81 its ialIs
She dropped from the cross to the old church v
With patter, and drip, like n summer shower
On the ivy that chung around the tower
Down the leafy stair in her swirl descent,
To lie in the gutter, all smirched and spent
Then the ivies whispered across the air
g." How art thou fallen i-once pure, and so fair
=" over open graves we have heard the priest
Say The least shall be greatest, the greatest lea
So the ivies fiuttered above her fall -
But a song gave her keenest pain Of all
/ As a dew-drop phantom Of mist sped by,
Purified, -glorifed, home to the sky.

We want to make the Sabbath delight

its sweet and most happy significance.
Make the day bright with every device
which pure, glowing love of Christ and
souls can suggest. Make the place of
tbeir meeting cheerful and beautiful ifpos

here and now.

PACKING BEKF.-An Ohio farmer sends to
the New York Farmers Club the following
directions for packing beef: For 100 pounds
meat take four quarts rock salt, four pounds
brown sugar, four ounces saltpetre; pulver-
ize, mix thoroughly sprinkle a layer half
an inch thick in the bottom of a barrel
pack layer of beef close down upon it, and
pound it close with a wooden pestle; cover
with the mixture pack another layer close,
and 50 on. The moisture of the beef will
make brine that will keep the meat any
length of time.

talks well, and said more that is worth re-
Numbering for original thought than any
man that l met at Rome. They scOld about
him good deal there. and accuse him of
turning the cold shoulder toward Americans,
and currying favor with the English,
especially with the aristOcratie class. He
did not seem to me to be of that temper. but
rather to be a lover of culture wherever he
finds it; and it was this. and not time
serving, that led him to have Browning
spend half the summer with him. If there
is any GOODNESS between him and Americans,
it is probably as much their fault as his,
and they prefer less intellectual work and
less exacting society than his while per

gifts, and does not wholly keep up his re-
