LITTLE GRAVES Sacred places for
pure thoughts and holy medtations are
little graves in the churchyard They are
the repositories of the mother sweetest
joy, half unfolded buds of innocence
humanity nipped by the frost of time,
ere yet a canker worm of corruption had
nestled among its embryo petala. Calous
indeed must be the heart Of him who can
stand by little gravesdc, and not have
the holiest emotions Of the soul awaken
ed to thoughts Of purity and JOY, which
belong to God and heaven, for the mute
preacher at his feet tells Of life begun
and ended without stain; and surely il
this be vouchsafed to mortality, how
much purer aud holier must be the spr
itual. enlightened by the sun of infinite
goodness, whence cmanated the soul OF
the brief sojourncr among usf How
swels the heart Of the parent with mourn

of lost little ones Mournful, because {

The only man who ever got ahead
of Ben, Butler, was Joseph Ames, the
painter According to n gossipy story,
he painted a portrait OF Blanche, Gen,
Buffers beautiful daughter. An exqus.
itc picture it was she in a pure white
dress, stepping from'a rustic doorway.
And then he asked $4,000 for it. Her
father refused to pay for it. So, after
waiting a little while, Ames wrote that he
should paint a basket Of fish on her head
and one in her arms, alter the dress some
and sell the picture to Boston club.
Butler paid the money then. but protest
ed against the injustice, as he said the
portrait was painted at Mr.. Amc's re.
quest.
