Ny ancient pedal friend last FAREWELL
So many days we've footed it together
The lane OF lne-in fair and stormy weather.
Mine eyes well nigh their ids-dykes overswell:
remember when thou didst incase
MY neither limbs with pressure warm and tight;
ana many corny twinge, from morn till night
EVlnced the ardency of thy embrace.
Soon, ike the love of some long married wife,
my grasp, II not SO strong, was still as true,
And pleasanter; and as we grew in life,
Thou vert as gentle plant shoe;
And while on thee [ trampled every day
TO shield me thou didst wear thy very sole away.
Though despise the slander-monger's art,
AND scorn the wretch who blackens the fairfame
OF one whose richest fortune is his name,
Ihe wretch whose steel goes deeper than the heart
Yet it has been my daily wont, 1 own,
10 black thy face until thy skin has shone
With ebOn glow as lustrous the hue
That forms the charms of Guinea's native breed
But twas not that hated thee; indeed
priced thee So that when thy sole broke thro
And let in water, twas my special heed
A man Of avis thy gaping wounds should sew;
And twitching pangs athwart my pocket shoot
To part with thee at last, worn and faithful boot!

A Brave Little Girl.

AS little girl, Lizzie Bourland bv
name, who resides at Woodlawn Ill, on
the line of the St.Louis&Southeastern Rail-
road, was passing down the track yester-
day afternoon on her way to the next
station (Roache's), she discovered lot of
brush upon the track which she conclu-
ded to remove. Upon lifting a portion of
the brush, she discovered tie across the
track. She endeavored to remove the tie.
but being child ofonly thirteen years of
age, her strength was Inadequate Just
thens to her horror, she heard the train
coming. With presence of mind far
exceeding her years, she grasped her
parasol and signaled the train to stop,
keeping it in violent motion until she
heard the engineer whistle down-brakes.
AS the train was only about one hundred
yards distance when the signal was given,
OF course the engine struck the tie, not
outstanding the air-brakes were put on
to the fullest extent, but the speed was so
lessened by the time the obstacle was
struck that no damage was done. The
conductor of the train stopped and took
up the little girl and carried her to her
destination, after thanking her for the
timely warning which, doubtless, saved
number or lives
The train was a passenger train bound
west, and due in East st. Louis at 4 :32,
which point it reached in safety, through
the thoughtfulness and presence of mind
Of the little girl. All honor, say we, to
little Lizzie Bourland.-St. LOUIS Globe

ROBBTE'S SOLD THE BABY !

,OBBIE'S SOLD THE BABH
Robbie's sold the baby!
Sold her out and out!
And I'll have to tell you
How it came about.
When on New Years morning
Robbie's opening eyes
Spied the bran-new baby
What glad surprise!
Constantly he watched her,
Scarcely cared to play,
Lest the precious baby
Should be snatched away.
He it was who named her
Becky Betsy Ann
Told what he would buy her
When he was a man.
Now he's gone and sold her!
For to-day he ran
And proclaimed to mamma,
9 Yes, I've found a mani
90 Here's the man'll buy her!
Get her ready, krick!''
With an air of business,
Brandlshing a stick.
Sold my baby, Robbie?'
Mamma sadly said;
Robbie, quite decided,
Bobbed his little head.
well, if this man buys her.
What will he give you?''
Oh, two nice, big horses,
And five pennies, tool
What's the good of babies?
Only 'queal and 'creaml
/ can go horse-backin'
When [ get my team"
But when quiet night came,
RObbie's prayers were said,
And he looked at baby
In her little bed.
And he said, when baby
Smiled in some sweet dream
= She's wu1f forty horses,
Stead of jess teami"
Baby's wee pink fingers
Round his own he curled;
She's wurf all the horses
