THE BABY is DEAD.

There is a white hatchment over the
portal-a long streamer of snowy Grape
trails from the muffied bell knob like a
film of ghostly morning mist. We
know that an impalpable footstep has
fallen on the threshold that a shadowy
hand has knocked on this shrouded door !;
that the dread visitant, who will not be
denied nor turned away, has entered
here. He has entered and departed !;
but with the yelled mourncr, sorrow, who
treads solemnly after him, has stayed
behind.
His ruthless hand has plucked the
white bud of promise that gladdened the
far garland of house hold lovc--the bud
that brcatbed and yet embodied perfume
OF sweet but underlined hopes that com
ing year would ripen TO fruition. His
remorseless foot has fallen beside this
beartbstone--and, 10 the dread foot
print has followed little grave. The
baby is dead.
The tiny image, white as sculptured
parian, lies yonder in its snowy casket.
draped in spotless fabrics, and wreath
cd with funeral flowers. The mother
bends with anguished eyes above the
still, small effigy Of her lost hope, but
the baby is not there. Out Of her
arms and out of her life something has
gone that will not return. The sealed
lids will not uplift from happy sleep
the wondering eyes will search her face
no more. Never again the chill, soft
lips will drain the fountains of her aching
heart. The little, restless hands lie still
and pulseless, frozen into eternal quiet,
their silfen touches, vague and aimless
as the south wind, will steal into her
bosom and sooth her WEAKNESS no more.
She realizes this with all the live, pull
satlng agony Of newly bercaved mother
hood, as she leans above the dainty
collin, and slow, scalding tears, wrung
from the the very fbers of her bruised
life, drop one by one on the unconscious
face
She folds sprig of hyssop and a half
blown rosebud in the waxen hand, and
sends them to the father as a message
and token-the symbols Of her grief
and baby's innocence 40 / surren-
der back to Thee the soul that Thou
didst lend me unsullied as from Thy
hands, yield it up in faith and hope
but, oh | give the child with bitter
tears-with breaking heart-with pas
sionate, human woe unutterabIe."
And the days lengthen, the nights
fall, the years go on She keeps the
key of the baby's casket in her bosom
the memory Of the rosebud face within
her heart-and life for her is never
again quite what it was ere baby diedI

CHILDHOOD.
ny GEORGE D. PRENTICE

IT'S sad, yet sweet to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood loved SO well
To gaze out on the eve,
And the boundless fields of air.
And feel again our boyhood's wish,
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past,
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast
The forms we loved SO dearly,
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens,
Who seemed SO formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this
Whose dark soft eyes seemed swimming
In n sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Der brows so sunny bright.
Like the brightest buds of summer
They have fallen from The stem
Yet, oh, it is a lovely dream,
To fade from earth like them.
And yet the thought is saddenng,
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing swift away
That the fair ones whom we love,
Grow to each loving breast,
Like tendrils of the clinging vine,
Aud perish where they rest.

Can We Speak English.


One Of the best articles, though some
what brief, in a recent number Of Huy-
per's Magazine, is that from which we
take the following -
In our daily conversation we disfgure
it with all varieties Of slang. masculine
or feminine, as the case may be-one as
bad as tho other We disregard its
delicate shades Of meaning. we do all
we can to deprive it of al force by our
careless use of its terms, we load it with
provincialisms and foreign phrases, and
then we scornfully turn our backs upon
1t as II it were an old WORKOUT servant
who may have been of use to scrub our
lioors or sweep our barn-yards We
hire foreign nurses for cur children, so
that the first words they utter shall be
either French or German dialect, and
we boast of the fact that these children
talk only French or German, and do not
understand ono word of English y !:
Is there no school, Of all the hundreds
advertising in all our CITY papers, which
has the courage to state as a recommen-
dation, English the language of this
SN"''i > 10 tlltlS no Ollt SCuOOi WHICH
will make it its aim, first and last, as
far as the form of language goes, to see
that the English spoken in play hours
and Rotations shall be pure and cor
rect; that only those textbooks which
can bear this test shall be used that
the reading recommended shall be selected
with this view that the poetry commit
ted to memory shall always be the best?
Is there no school whose pupils shall be,
recognized by their clear and distino
articulation, their accurate and cas-,
pronunciation, their exact accont. ard
their skillful and beautiful use Of The
English language How many Of our
girls and boys can be said even to know
and understand that language as used
by Racine, by Corneille, by Pascal, or
Mollcre and far more serious than this,
how many Of them know German that
is, the language Of tho Herdcr and
Leasing, Of Goethe and Schiller? Most
serious Of all, and most concerning US,
how many Of us kaow English ? that is,
how many Of us understand or can speak
it even luently or correctly not to say
How many of US know our
own most noble language, to which 10
many languages have contributed the
language Of Chaucer aud Spencer, of
Of Bacon, Of Shakespeare? How
many Of US can talk English 7"

Indifference AT HoME.-Ingratitude
and Indifference sometimes mar the
character Of men. A husband returns
from his business at evening. During
bis absence and throughout the livelong
day, the wife has been busy with mind
and hands preparing some unexpected
pleasure to make his home moro attrac-
tive than ever. He enters, seemingly
sees no more of what has been done to
please him than if be we're dumb
Many loving wife has borne in be- an
abiding sorrow day after day from causes
like this. until. in process of time, the
fire and enthusiasm of her original
nature have burned out, and mutual in
difference spreads its pail over the
household.
