RoMNEY, FRIDAY. OCT. 2s. 1877.
PAPA's LETTER.

PAPA'S LET FER.
/ was sitting in my study,
Writing letters, when heard
"please. dear mamma, Mary told me
Mamma mustn't be disturbed;
But Use tired of the Kitty.
Want some ozzer fng TO do.
Writing letters, is 'ou, mamma?
Tant write letter, too?'
Not now, darling, mammals busy;
Run and play with kitty now"
mo, no, mamma. me wife letter,
Den you will show me how"
/ would paint my darling's portrait.
AS his sweet eyes searched my face !;
Hair of gold and eyes of azure,
Form of childish witching grace.
But the eager face was clouded,
AS l slowly shook my head,
Till l said-"I'll make a letter
OF you, darling boy, instead"
So 1 parted back the tresscs
From his forehead high and white,
And a stamp, in sport, pasted
Mid its waves Of golden light.
Then said, Now, little letter,
Go away and bear good news
And | smiled as down the staircase
Clattered loud the little shoes.
Leaving nc, the darling hurried
Down to Mary. in his glee:
"Mamma's writing lots of letters;
Use letter. Mary, Sec"
No one heard the little prattler,
As he once more climbed the stair,
Reached his cap and little tirpet,
Standing on the table there.
No one heard the front door open,
No one saw the golden hair,
AS it foatcd DER his shoulders
On the crisp October air.
Down The street the baby FASTENED,
Till lie reached the Office door,
"rse a letter, Mr.. Postman,
Is there room for any more?
Cause this letters going to papa;
Papa lives with Sod, 'ou know;
Mamma sent me for a letter,
Does on fink at tan do?'
But the clerk, in wonder, answered,
Not to-day, my little man -
"Den Il hud ano2zer Office,
'Tause must do if tan"
Fain the clerk would have detained him
Bat the pleading face was gone,
And the little feet were hastning,
b. the busy crowd swept on.
Suddenly the crowd was parted,
People fed to left and light,
AS pair Of malIened horses
AT that moment dashed in sight.
No one saw the baby figure,
No one saw the golden hair,
Till voice OF frightened sweetness.
Rang out on the autumn air.
Twas too late 4 moment only
Stood the b oateOus vision there;
Then the little face was lifeless
Covered DER with golden hair.
Rev'rentIy they raised my darling,
Brushed away the curls Of gold,
Saw the stamp upon the forehead
Growing now SO icy cold.
Not a mari, the face disagured,
Showing where a hoof had trod,
BuS the little life was ended
"Papa's letter" was with Col
