y baby played with the surplice sleeve
OF gentle Priest-whe in accents low
The sponsors murmured the grand II believe
And the Priest babe the mystic waters flow
sin the name of the Father, of the Son,
-s- And the Holy Sprit'-Three in One.
Spotless lily leaf
-. Whittier than the Christmas snow!
Not shade of sin CT grief
And the babe laughed sweet and low.
A smile fitted over the babys face
Or was it CLEAN of its angels wing
Just passing then, and leaving trace
Of its presence, as it scared to sing
A hymn, when words and waters win
To grace and life-a child of sin.
Not an outward sign or token
That the child was saved from woe
But the bonds of sin were broken,
And the child laughed sweet and low.
:. A cloud rose up to the mothers eyes
as" And out of the cloud griefs rain fell fast;
Came the baby's smiles and the mothers signs
Out of the Future or the Past?
q ALI CLEAN and gloom must ever meet,
And gall must mingle with the sweet!
Yea! upon her baby's laughter
Trickled tears-'tis always So
Mothers dread the dark hereafter;
But her babe laughed sweet and low.
An the years, like waves, broke on the shore
Of the mothers heart and her baby's life;
But her lone heart drifted away before
Her little boy knew an hour of strife
Drifted away summer eve,
Ere the orphaned boy knew how to grieve.
Her humble grave was gently made
Where roses bloomed in Summers glow;
The wild birds sang where her heart was laid
And her boy laughed sweet and low.
He foated away from his mothers grave
Like fragile flower bright streams tide
Till he heard the moan of the mighty wave
That welcomed the stream to the ocean wide
Out from the shore and over the deep,
He sailed away; and he learned to weep.
Furrowed grew the face-once fair
Under storms of human woe;
Silver-grey and bright brown hair;
And ne walled so sad and low.
And years swept on, as erst they swept:
Bright wavelets once-wild pillows now,
Wherever he sailed he wept,
And cloud hung Ger his brow,
Over the deep and into the dark;
~ But no one knew where sank his bark.
Wild roses watched his mothers tomb;
The world still laughed--it is ever SO;
God only knew the baby's doom
That laughed SO sweet and low

SUNsrRoKE.-Thisis sudden prostra-
ton due to long exposure to great heat,
especially when one is much fatigued or
exhausted. It commonly happens from
undue expos :; to the sun s rays in summer,
but have seen the same effects produced
in a baker from the great heat Of the bake
room. It begins with pain in the head OF
dizziness, quickly followed by less Of con-
sciousness and complete prostration. Some
times, however, the attack is as sudden as
a stroke Of appoplexy. The head is often
burning hot, the face dark and swollen, the
breathing labored and snoring, and the e1-
tremities cold. Take the patient at once
to cool and shady place, but don't carry
him far to a house or hospital. Loosen
the clothes thoroughly about his neck a nd
waist. Lay him down with his head a
little raised. Apply wet cloths to the
head, and mustard or turpentine to the
calves of the legs and the soles of the feet
Give little weak whiskey and water if
he can swallow. Meantime let some one
60 for the Doctor.
Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, has announced
his Intention to withdraw entirely from
political life at the close Of his present
term in Congress. Accordingly he says
that Under no circumstances will he per-
nit his name to be used in connection with
the Democratic nomination for Governor
of Indiana, and that he is not and never
again expects to be candidate for any Of
fee whatever. He will devote himself ex-
clusively to the duties Of his profession.
and his sole wish in connection with polit-
ical affairs is that Hon. Thomas A. Hend-
ricks may be the Democratic candidate for
President in 1872. He expresses the be-
lief that Hendricks is the most available
man, and that he would beat Grant as bad
ly as any man has been beaten for that po-
sition in the history Of the country. But
when that is done there is no Executive
appointment which he would accept, nor
an office in the gift Of the people which he
desires.

SENATORIAL JoKE.-One of the Cincinnati pa
pers has started a story one of the California
United States Senators, (but which one is not
stately and it is going the rounds much to the
injury of Caifornia's sending out representa-
tives not easily taken in. The story is to the
effect that the nameess Senator who was stop
ping at the Metropolitan Holel, in New York,
jumped in a hack and ordered the driver to take
him to Niblos Garden, which happened to be
under the same roof with the hotel and the en-
trance to each about twenty feet apart. He was
taken around nineteen blocks and landed safely
at the theater, where the hack was kept waiting
until the theater was out. The Senator was
taken back around seventeen blocks, to his ho-
tel and paid the hackman fifteen dollars for fare.
1t was not until the next day that our Represent
ative learned where the laugh came in. OF
course, both our Senators will repudiate the
yarn, or perhaps each will claim that it was his
colleague.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. From experiments
lately tried by one of our most skillful chemists
the fact seems welh established that certain arti-
cles, such as old wearing apparel, well dried
wood, ETC., are capable of generating sufficient
heat to induce combustion without the applica-
ton of fire. piece of old cotton saturated
with linseed oil and packed in a chest with old
papers and rags, he found, after eight days, so
shriveed up that the rags looked as if they had
been held near the fire. Again, some old rags
to which no oil had been applied were wrapped
up with two or three matches and placed in a
tin box, which was hung in a loft exposed to the
rays of an afternoon sun during very hot weather
After three or four days Of this test, the box in
which the rags had been deposited found to
contain only some we-blackened cinders. In
short, the various tests proved very satisfactory
we think, that not few of the fires g supposed
to be the work of incendiary," are caused by,
perhaps, a rag which has been used with benzine
by the frugal housewife to clean a coat, or by
the heat which is known to be generated from
articles of silk, cotton etc., shut up in a close
room.-Home and Health.
