Mother Goose.
When nursery lamps are yelled, and nurse is singing,

When nursery lamps are yelled, and nurse is singing,
 In accents low. Tlning her music to the cradles swing irg,
 Now fast, now slow nging of Baby Bunting, soft and furry
 In abitcloak. Or rock-a-byed amid the toss and furry
 wind-swept oak; Of Boy-Blue sleeping with his horn be side him;
 Ofmy son John, Who went to bed Qet all good boys deride
 With stockings on; or sweet Bo Peep-following her lamb. kins straying;
 Of Danes in shoes; or cows, considerate, mid the Piper's playing
 Which tune to choose; or Gotham's wise men, bowling o'er the pillow,
 Or him, less wise, Who chose rough bramble bushes for a pillow,
 And scratched his eyes, It may be, while she sings, that through the portal
 Soft footsteps glide. And all invisible to grown-up mortals,
 At cradle side, Sits Mother Goose herself, the dear old Mother,
 And rocks and croons, In tones which Baby hearkens. but no other,
 Her old old tunesI think it must be so, else why, years af- ter,
 Do we retrace And mix with shadowy, recollected laughter,
 Thoughts Ofthat face; Seen, yet unseen, beamlng across the ages,
 Brimful offun And wit and wisdom, baffiing all the
 Under the sun?

THE Supreme Court of Vermont has rendered a significant decision in the case of the Roman Catholic school children of Brattleboro, Vt, who on "Corpus Christi" day, by order of their parents, refused to attend the public schools, and were in consequence eX- pelled. X bill in chancery was brought io restrain the School Board from car ryinr the order of expulsion into effect, but was dismissed by the court which holds that tic rule requiring the chll- dren to attend was legally made by the School Board, and that the refusal to excuse them was not such an lnterfer- ence with the liberty of conscience as to make the rule in conflict with the Constitution; that the holding of a ses- sion of the school on the day was no more illegal than it would have been to hold a town meeting at the same time :; that the school laws are made for all persons, and, as it did not conflict with the Constitution, the rule was legal and and of binding force.
