He laid him down to odresm IwsY Y"Aaass
The long and scorching noontide hours
At length an angels unseen form
Parted the air with, 4 conscious thrill ~
And poised itself. like presence warm,
Above the boy, who was slumbering still.
Never before had so fair a;thing,.

And, gazing down with wonder rare,

When 10! at the touch the infant smiled,
And, just where the unseen lips had pressed,
dimple lay in It's sweet unrest,
Like ripple, walked from its light repose
On streamlet's breast when the soft wind blow
And the angel passed from the sleeping one,
For his mission to earth that day xas done.
A fair face bent above the boy
1t must have been the child's own mother;
For never would such pride and Joy
Have lit the face Of any other.
And. while ,he sased, the unqsist air
Grew .trenulous With = whispered prayer.
Anon, it ceased. and the boy awoke,
And smile oflove DER his features broke.
The mother marked, with holy joy,
The dimpliug cheek OF the darling boy;
And caught him up, while warm surprise

And che whispered low, as she gently smiled.

was the secession war that changed

pictures became caricatures. But

which the honest portion of the peo-
pie all approve. Caricature, since
the earliest known period of its 'ex-
istence, far back in the dawn Of
Egyptian history, has accomplished
nothing else equal to the series Of
about f0rty-fve pictures contributed
by Thomas Mast to Ha,per's Weekly
for the explosion of the .Tammany
Ring. These are the utmost that
satiric art has done in thAbkind. The
fertilit tH of invention displayed by the
artist, week after week, for months
at time, was 40 extraordinary that
people concluded, as . matter. Of
course, the ideas were furnished him
by Others. On the contrary, he can
not draw from the suggestions of
other minds. His more celebrated
pictures have been drawn in quiet
country places, several miles from the
