THE LITTLE COFFIN.


Twas a tinv, rosewood thing,
Ebon bound and glittering
With its stars of silver white;
Silver tablet; black and bright;
Downy pillowed satin lined;
That |, lettering chanced to find
Mid the dust and scent and gloom,
OF the undertaker's room,
Waiting empty-ah, for whom?
All. what love watched cradle-bed
Keeps tc-night the nesting head.
Or on what soft-pillowed breast,
Is the cherub form at rest,
That ere long, with darkened eye,
Sleeping 90 no lullaby,
Whitley robed, and still and cold.
Pale flowers slipping from its hold,
Shall this dainty couch enfold?
All, what bitter tears shall stain
All this satin sheet like rain
And what towering hopes be hid
Meath this tiny coffin lid
Scarcely large enough to bear
Little'words that must be there,
Little words cut deep and true,
Bleeding mothers heart anew
Sweet, pet name, aud " Aged Two
Oh, can a sorrows lowering plume
Round our pathway cast a gloom,
Chill and darksome as the shade
BY an infants coffin made ,
From our arms an angel flies,
And our startled, dazzling eyes,
Weeping round its vacant place,
Cannot rise its path TO trace,
Cannot see the angels face.

hat city on Wednesday last, bound to the
western limits of Kansas, wher; they intend

0uly those women who have not iha money
to "dress" can fully appreciate tho crushing
weight which society rutblessly heaps upon
this disability. To be unable to p" dress is
to be treated with almost dsrespoct in the car,
the boat, at the public gathering, the street aud
the shop to be ignored to feel the shrug Of
contempt, the sneer Of levity and the snile Of
scorn to be thrust aside 10 be laulhed at;
to be uncercmoniously displaced to bO cruelty
driven out Of good society 10 have your heart,
your intelligence, your thought, your virtue,
your character held as nothing against silk to
be stuug 10 be outraged; to bo prescribed;
to be insulted all this and much more for the
lack Of money to dress"

is right or wrong, the fact remains to blight
and to ruin. The fashionable lady thinks moth

The rich can be fashionable, tao poor cannot
be by honest means. The poor industrious
shop girl looks upon even 500 dresses and they
are beyond her reach There is a $40 gulf
between her and them-between her and the
respect and attention Of society Hor virtue
will span the chasm. She longs to lils the
load Of poverty, TO receive the caress Of society,
to be freed from bondage She sells herself to
hell for dress. After the FIRST step is taken, it
is not long before al useful labor is esehewd,
