reasons Why such functions should
not be confded 10 them. They
are too apt to employ the same

they are not the sort of people

which very few would haye thought existed,
1t is that "the tonnage delivered by the Della

the Hudson river, and equals that of the

THE LITTLE HAND.

That little hand Of thine my precious child
How oft Its soft earess WOO,
And ask with many hope and fear,
What is that little hand to dor
How duciile. soft. unworn by toll,
The ready instrument of play,
1t executes the fancies quaint.
That make their life one holiday.
1t rolls the ball. 1t guides the pen.
And ciphers strange can deftly trace;
And oft with warm affections gash
1t fOndly strokes my careworn face.
The mimic arms 1t well can Yield,
And rein thy small and steady steed;
And when we con the lettered page.
Points to the tiny words We read.
And 10 thy Iarents hands It's elasped.
When night and morn our prayer Is prayed.
And pillows oft thy rosy cheek
When slumbers spell Is on thee laid.
Twill not be always thus. my boy.
For real life has other tasks
What is that little hand to dof
Once more thy yearning mother asks.
Isit to guide the seaman's helm.
Or point the gun mid flashing swords;
Or will it WELD the students pen
And clothe thy thoughts in living words?
Will it be hard and worn with toll.
Or pale with sickness hvid huer
Oh could thy mothers heart divine
What is that little hand to do?
But might her fervent prayer prevail
Unsullied should that hand remain
Clean from corrupti0n's filthy touch,
And pure from every sinful stain.
Still ready for thy Masters work,
The servant of willing mind.
More prompt TO give than to receive,
And grasped in many greeting kind.
And may another hand be found
10 hold it in loves welded grasp;
And may the hand which God then joins
BE one till death shall loose their clasp.
