The Empty Cradle.

The death Of little child is to the mothers
heart like dew on plant from which bud LAS
perishcd. The plant lifts up its head in fresh
ed grcenncss to tie morning light so the mo-
Tiers soul gathers from tlcdark sorrow through
which she has passed, fresh frightening Of
Ler heavenly hopes.
AS she bends over ;he empty cradle, and in
fancy brings her sweet infant before her, ray
ofdiyinc light is on her chcrub face lis her
son still, but with tie seal Of Immortality ou
his brow. She feels that heaycs was the only
atmosphere whore her precious flower could m-
fold without spot or blemish, and she wou'l
not recall the lost. But the anniversary Of Lis
departure seems to b.iag bis spiritual presence
near her. She indlgos in that tender grief
which soothcs, ike an opiatc in pain all hcr
passages and cares Of life. The world 70 Der
is no longer filed with human love and hope
in the future, so glorious with heavenly loyo
and Joy, she has treasures Of happiness which
the worldly unchastenci heart never conceived
The bright fresh flowers with which she de-
Grated ! or room, thcapaItmeut where The iu-
flut died are cmblems Of the fir brighter hopes
now drawing on her day dream. She thinks
Of the glory and beauty Of the New Jerusalem.
And she knows her infant is there, in that
world Of eternal bliss. She Las marked orc
passage in that book--to T emphadcaliy The
Word Of lifs-now lying closed on tie toilette
table, which she daily reads" Suffer little
children, and forbid them not, to come unto
Me, for Of such IS the kingdom Of Heaven"

POETRY.
I'M OLD TO-DAY.

An aged man, on reaching his SEVENTEEN birth
ay, like one surprised, paced his room, exclain
lg, Il am an old man | am an old manw
wake at last I've dreamed too long;
Where are my three-score years and ten ?
Ny eye is keen, my limbs are strong;
well might vie with Younger men.
The world, It's passions, and its strife,
Is passing from my grasp away;
And though this pulse seems full Of life,
I'm old to-day, Pm old to-day.
Strange that never felt before
That had almost reached my goal,
Ny bark is nearing deaths dark shore;
Liie's waters far behind me roll:
And vet love their murmuring swell,
Their distant breakers proud array;
And must !, can |. say FAREWELL"
I'm old to-day, I'm old to-day.
This house is mine, and those broad lands
That slumber meath yon fervid sky;
Yon brooklet, lcaping DER the sands,
Hath often met my boyish eye.
loved those mountains when child;
They stilllook young in green array
Ne rocky cliffs, We SUBMITS wild,
I'm old to-day, I'm old to-day.
'Twixt Yesterdays short hours and me
4 mighty gulf hath intervened,
man with men seemed TO be;
But now It's meet shogld be weaned
From all my kind, my kindred dear
From those deep skies, that landscape gay,
From JOYS and hopes I've cherished here;
I'm old to-day, I'm old to-day.
o, man Of yearsi while earth recedes,
Look forward, upward, not behind
Why dost thou lean on broken reeds?
Why still with earthly fetters bind
Thine ardent soul? God give it wings
Mid higher, purer JOYS to stray?
In heaven no happy spirit sings,
I'm old to-day, I'm old to-day.

Getting Rid Of Flies.

One or our exchanges says that every Gy in
the house can he cuticcd to IS own destruction
by the following: Beat together the yolk Of
an egg, a tablespoon falI Of moIassas or sugar,
aspooufql Of black pepper, audwatere enough to
make the whole mixture Of the consistency of
cream or thin mush. We dorotpu,much faith
in the recipe, yet as it is easily tried may 90
what is claimed forit and perfectly harmless.
we advise our housewives 10 experiment with il.
particularly as most Of tho Gy-paper5 and Gy-
p,i.oas iause are prepared from cobalt aud arc
too deadly poisonous to be used about house
where thor3 are ch.,d.en, or where there are
chickens to pick up tie dead dios when swept
out But if We were preparing the dose,
we would boil the pepper a few minutes in %
very small quantity Of water and then stir ia
the other ingredients
