immediately after cut his throat. Jones
was married and had grown up children.

was doubtless premeditated as it was done

Hymns of Childhood

Still linger in our noon Of tins
And on our Saxon tongue
The echo Of the home-born hymns
That Aryan mothers Sung.
And childhood had its itanies
In every age aud cline:
The earliest cradles of the race
Were rocked 10 poets ihYmt.
Nor sky, nor wave, nor tree, nor fluWel
Nor green earth's virgin sod.
50 moved the singers heart of wore
As these small ones Of God
The mystery Of unfolding lie
Was more than dawning morn.
han opening flower Or crescent ugon
The human soul new-buIIl
And still TO childhood's sweet appeal
The heart Of genius turns.
And more than all the .a"es leuch
From lisping voices learns
The Voice, loved Of him Who sang.
Where Tweed and 1cs oil glide.
That sound to-day from all The wind,
That blow from Rvdial lsiie.-
Heard in the Teutol, household song,
And folklore of the Finn
Where'or TO holy Christmas hearth-
The Christ-child enters in

who have always been prosperous are sell
dom the most worthy, and never in moral

know what it is to overcome evil, or feel
the pleasure Of forgiyng them.
