evidences of careful thought and was crowded
with Information relative to the pending struggle
The traditional aspirations of Russia now likely to
be realized, and the barbarous treatment of her
Christian subjects by Turkey, were forcibly illus.

The Little Daughter.

Oh, she's fower!-within our home
So dainty-sweet, SO gently glowing,
That every day, new petaled blooms
To our delighted eyes are showing.
And she is bird!-for in her voice
The tiny music-tones are hiding,
Whene'er she speaks, they just peep out
And gaily call, our fond search guiding.
And she is a star!-her bright, pure eyes
Are beaming in their azure setting
With grave, reproving, mild surprise,
At all our worldly. wise forgetting.
And she is blessing!-ere she came,
Our boys were rough and often ready
For cruel sports, but now, they're tame;
Dear little Eva has made them steady.
Is she an angel?-Ah, no, say
I'd rather think the angels brought her,
For their strong wings can fly away;
And we would keep our little daughter.
