HOW THE BABY CAME.


The Lady Moon came down last night.
She did, you needn't doubt it.
A lovely lady dressed in white;
Ill tell you all about it.
They hurried Len and me TO bed,
And aunty said, ''Now maybe
That pretty moon up overhead
VIII bring us down baby
''You lay as quiet as can be;
Perhaps you'll catch her peeking
Between the window-bars to see
II all the folks are sleeping
And then, II both Of you keep still.
And all the room is shady.
She'll float across the window sill,
A bonny white, moon-lady.
Across the SILL along the fioor
You'll see her shining brightly,
Until she comes to mothers door.
And then she'll vanish lightly.
Butin tho morning you will find.
If nothing happens, maybe;
She's left us something nice behind
A beautiful star baby"
We didn't just believe her then.
For auntys always chatting;
The tales she tells to me and Len
Would make you die laughing
And when she went out pretty soon,
Len said. That's aunty's humming:
There amt bit of lady moon,
Or any baby coming"
thought, myself, 1t was a fb.
And yet wasn't certain;
So kept quiet in the crib.
And peeped behind the curtain,
didn't mean TO sleep wink;
But, all without warning.
dropped right of-and, don't you think,
never walked till morningI
Then there was aunty by my bed,
And when 1 climbed and kissed her,
She laughed and said. "You sleepy-head
You've got a little sister.
What makes you shut your eyes SO soon?
I've half mind to scold you
For down she came. that lady moon,
Exactly as l told your
And. truly It was not joke,
In spite Of Lens denying
For just the very time she spoke.
We heard the baby crying.
The way we jumped and made a rush
For mothers room, that minutel
But aunty stopped us, crying. "Hushl
Or else you shan't go in it."
And so we had to tip-toe in,
And keep an awful quiet,
As II 1t was mighty sin
To make a bit Of riot.
But there was baby, anyhow
The FUNNIEST little midgetl
just wish you could peep in now,
And see her squirm and hdget.
Len says he don't believe it's true
(He isn't such gaby)
The moon had anythingto do
With bringing us that baby.
But seems TO me it's very clear,
As clear as running water
Last night there was no baby here,
So something must have brought her.

To stand-to fight-to die
No thought Of fear was in their heart,
No quailing in their eye.

Amid those gathered bands,
For the sure rife kept its poise
In strong untrembling hands,"

begin the cultivation as soon as you

Mr. s. W. Hope: The peaches and apples
dried by your fruit dryer are the prettiest I
ever saw. ia. SLAUGHTER.
Middletown transcript., 1877-06-16
AT DOVER,
o. REDNESp4Y. MAY28, 1877.

This dryer was invented for the purpose Of
saving part of my own crop Of peaches in
1875. Thousands of baskets of fruit had
rotted in my orchard. The Shocks and Late
White peaches were ready to dry when be-
gan, yet the peaches dried after that with
common stove without CRATE bars, sold for
two hundred dollars. l improved the dryer
greatly in 1876 and this year, and claim that
It will dry fruits and vegetables so that they
will be nearly as light and rich in color when
they are dry as when put fresh in the evapor-
ator. That which darkens more fruit than
all else, is the Yapor that is thrown off in
drying, and remains in the dryer until it
passes through all the fruit in the way to the
outlet.
My invention by the use Of tubes takes the
greater part Of that moisture out of the main
chamber without its passing through the
fruit, and also supplies DRY HEAT to every FIVE
trays continually, thus retaining the natural
color Of the fruit By quick drying. When
the fruit is nearly dry il is slid into a milder
heat In the finishing chamber.
The following certificates show what is
thought by those who have seen the fruit for
two years:

S. v. Hope, Esq: We received and sold
for you, on Jan. 18th, 1877, shipment Of
evaporated (peeled) peaches, at 80 cts. per
h., also on Feb. 2sth. another shipment sold
at SO cts. per ID. The market had declined
at least FIVE cts. per ID. .on dried fruit since
the date of first sale, yet, the last lot being
the finest, we realized still higher figures for
them. As regards the quality of your peaches,
there has been nothing In this market, that
we have seen, that were equal to them, par
ticularly Of the last you sent and denomi-
mated irst quality, they not only are beauti-
fnl 10 the sight, but command ready sale at
good prices and give universal satisfaction.
