In driving screws into hard wood it is
advisable first to grease the threads. If
| the wood is soft the screws are likely to
work loose; warm them, dip them into

new screw into an old place, first insert

THE BABY'S GRAVE.

A little tender form we lay
Beneath the sod;
The grass now glows along the way
That once it trod.
The baby's cradle still is there,
But empty is the baby's chair
All, all now left of one so fair,
A tiny lock of golden hair.
The grass will spring all fresh and green
Upon that mound;
And baby will be no more seen --
Skipping around.
No, never will that infant share
The toll of earth, the joy, the care
All, all now left of one so fair,
A tiny lock of golden hair.
But where is she for whom we weep,
Our little one?
In Jesus arms, she's safe asleep;
Her day is done.
She's safe from every dangerous snare,
She needs no more her mother'sprayer ;
All, ali now left of one SO fair,
A tiny lock Of golden hair.
