GRANDMOTHER GREY.

Grandmother Grey by the window sat,
And looked at the setting sun,
And watched the COWS as they slowly came
From the pasture one by one;
And back again TO the ,ng ago"
Her memory travelled fast
While the dim eyes closed as she lived again
Mid scenes Of the happy past.
"let me see, She murmured; "ah, yes, / know
1t was there by the pasture gate
That Robin with milking pail and stool
For my coming used to wait.
IL was Just week of our wedding-day
That he fell so sick-and died:
And laid my heart in tue grave with him.
And loved none other beside.
"But ali! 1t was for my fathers sake
That welded Farmer Grey,
And We've both been tender and true and kind
As the years have slipped away.
But wonder much when the hour comes
That my soul be called above.
Shall i, as the wife OF Farmer Gray,
Seek Robin, my only lover"
And the sun went down in the golden west
And the cows came safely home,
AS GRANDMOTHER Grey by The window sat,
While her thoughts seemed yet to roam
But the angels came for her waiting soul
While the twilight shadows fell,
And Grandmother Grey, the farmers wife,
With Robin has gone to dwell.

A YOUTHFUL MONSTER.
BOY OF FIFTEEN KILLS A SMALL CHILD
MANIA FOR BLOOD.

A BOY OF FIFTEEN KILLS a SMALL CdlLD-A
MANIA FOR BLOOD.
BOSTON, April 23.-The body OF Horace
Mullen, aged four and a halt years, was
found yesterday, in marsh near Dorches-
ter, horribly mutilated. The head was
nearly severed from the body, and there
were, besides, about thirty stab wounds.
The child was the son of poor
parents. Jesse Pomeroy, aged 10, recently
pardoned from the State Reform School, to
which institution he was sentenced for cutting
and mutilating young children, was arrested,
being suspected of numbering the child.
He was to-day taken to the undertaker's
and shown the body of his victim. When
asked if be ever saw the boy before, he said,
4" Yes, but don't want to look at him any
more" He trembled all over while in the
room, and showed evident signs of guilt.
When asked how no got the blood off the
knife, he said he did it by thrusting it in
the ground of the marsh. BE said if he did
the deed, be was sorry for it, aud hoped
ter looking at the baby, detective Woods
asked him if he did that, referring to the
cutting. He replied, Eyes, 1 killed him, u
and on the way back from the undertakers
he said, in answer to questions, "I suppose
killed him." Detective Woods then asked
him what he thought ought to be done with
him, and he replied, "put somewhere so ]
can't do such things" Pomeroy has been
taken from the station house cell to Charles
street Jail. The child was cut in several
parts of the body, as were children whom
be multi tied in Chelsea and South Boston
Pomeroy's mother is dress maker, living
on Broadway, South Boston, and is a worthy
and highly respectable woman. The youth
is undoubtedly insane.

GREENcAsrLE, IND, April 23.-If Andrew

as never was a ruler of a republic, yet Grant
to day comes in for more curses for his one

is accused Of selling his friends, of selling his
veto power to the east, of being the poor

and of other terrible crimes to

IN THE HAMMOCK.


A tawny network swinging
Strange bird OF folded wing,
And happy robins singing
For one who will not sing.
A mist upon the mountain,
Which some sad Daiad weaves,
And on the yellow fountain
A yellow rain Of leaves
And swallows, Tying double,
or softer lands in quest,
Float low In curious trouble
Above my tranquil nest.
Brown butterflies That hover
To sound of distsn Mt sea-
The breath of dying clover
Are all for them-and me.
But these shall find the summer
Enough for life and love,
And leave for some glad conner
The nest they sing above.
While 10 bee and clover!
o bird of tireleSs wing!
Your mocking joys sweep over
Such birds as hamInocks swing.

A TRULY Goou LITTLE GIRL.

There was little girl
And she had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good
She was very, very good,
And when she was bad she was horrid.
She went up stairs,
And her parents, unawares,
Was looking out of the winder;
She stood on her head
In her little trundle-bed,
And nobody by to hinder.
Her mother heard a noise,
And she thought it was the boys
A-playing in the empty attic;
But she ran up stairs
And caught her unawares,
And spanked her most emphatic.

BY HARRIET PRESCOTT sroyFoRD.

A gush Of bird-song, a patter OF dew,
a cloud, and reinbows warming;
Suddenly sunshine and perfect blue
An April day in the morning!
Magical, autumn hazes are,
And sweet is your summer weather,
With its purple midnight's thrObbing star
Over lovers clasped together;
But dearer to me these daring flowers
The passionate uoon-tide scorning,
This gladstone slipping of silver showers,
This April day in the morning!

A HEBREW MELODY.
LORD BYRON.

They say that Hope is happiness
but genuine Love must prize the past;
and Memory wakes the thoughts that bless
They rose the first, they set the last.
And all that Memory loves the most
was once our only hope To be;
And all that Hope adored and lost
Hath melted into memory.
Alas! 1t is delusion all.
The future cheats us from afar,
Nor can we be what recall,
Nor dare we think what we are.
