THETEoUBLEsoME BABY

The little ones clung to the mother,
With kisses that softly fall,
But somehow the troublesome baby
Is nearest her heart of all;
Sick and fretful and small,
But dearest to mother ofall.
The neighbors wonder and pity,
Hearing it's querulous cry;
"She's losing her youth and beauty"
Say friends as they pass her by I;
"Well were the babe TO die,
And the mother rest,n they sigh.
But over the wee white cradle,
Her soft eyes full Of prayer,
Bendeth the weary mother,
And never was face SO fair,
Pale and tired with care,
But the glory of loyels there,
Bless thee, beautiful mother?
Thy heart hath place for all:
Room for the joys and thesorrows
However fast they fall;
Room for the baby snail
That may love thee best of all.

My German Friend, ,

What do you think of this?
The New York Evening Post,
which is mol a Grant paper,
says that a majority of the Ger
mans of New York, (where
they know Greeley, and his
bran bread hobbies, and know
that he Is the most fanatical
advocate of sumptuary laws
and interference with German
CUSTOMS will not vote for
Greeley. The Post says:
"The German press of the
city is now unanimously
against Greeley and Brown,
with the exception of the New
Yorker Journal, which in 1871
defended Tweed and the ring to
the end, and which has not re-
covered the influence which it
lost at that time. The Stats
zeitung, the organ of the great
mass oflhe German population,
is as strenuous in its denuncia-
tion of the Greedy ticket as ey-
er' The Demokrat, the> new
Republican Oestliche Post, the
widely circulated Criminal
Leitung, and the Abend Zeit-
ung are all earnestly advocat
ing the election of Grant and
Wilson. Never before, in the
political history of this city,
had a Democratic Presidential
ticket SO many formidable ad-
versaries In the German press
OF New York as the one nomin
ated at Cincinnati and Balti.

this state of affairs have already
