are those inflicted by the rheumatism and govt,

duces them by contact with the sensitive cover

A CHILD'S EASTER PRAYER.
IWorld Correspondence

Little three-year-old, feeling awfully
sleepy the other evening, desired to 60
to bed without saying her prayers. Her
mother objected to this; SO heavlng a
very deep sigh, the little miss dropped on
her knees and began her prayers in her
isi in this fashion: % God Ci bless grandpa. God
bless grandma, God bless papa. God bless
mamma. God bless Susan(the servant).
God bless Pete (the boy who brought
the groceries). On this evening, when
she had got to the end, which was with
Pete, she again sighed deeply, adding,
land make me awful stylish" She had
evidently been powerfully impressed
by the Easter fashions.

ODE TO THR 'roET.'

The days OF his childhood now are past.
And manhood has dawned upon him at last.
He snatched at the golden bait.
And yielded to his -torious fate.
reetry of such exquisite rhyme
Was never heard of before his time.
This poet is one Of extraordinary beauty,
And to pass Is. F. C. seems hi. only duty.
THIS word poet the girls in Latin do decline.
nd a matter of course il makes his face shine
And when the girls see him coming.
They all start TO the front yard running.
For the poet always cuts a dash.
| Coming down the street. pulling his mustacts
II ducks did delight Dickens,
Then this poet delights IN chickens.
| Often in rhyme many a battle he fought
| And then went down town, aud the papers b
bought.
| And often does he the eggs OF the setting he
name,
| To try to find out his dearest aim.
| And thus does he the love Of his sweetheart cnd
| Exactly suited TO his noble mind
Before the NJ. F. Church he loves to stand.
| With a large japanese fan in his hand
While descending down" the street with tea
in his eye,
He looks at the girls, and heaves n deep sigh.
| His poetry some of the girls do admire.
| While others are often filled with ire.
The girls TO him did prove a snare,
| And he often with his sweetheart strsycd
| Through the silent wood AMI glade,
But frightened by an unexpected shade.
With all his ght he fled,
| While his coat tail spread
And hc put for.homc to his mammals bed.
Sporting the family relic on his finger,
| Around in social Circles he likes 10 llnger.
He generally walks with measured pace
. Which only to h i'm is comely grace.
He took red rose,
And laid il. in sweet repose.
On the side OF his nose.
And away he goes.
| While his bouquet shows.
| OF all the poets in the west.
This Young poet is surely tho best.

A few weeks ago, it was announced
in official proclamatlons from Havana
that the rebellion in Cuba had been sup
pressed, and this announcement was
followed by almost daily bulletins OF the
surrender of insurgents. Now it is re-
ported that the Spanish government has
persuaded Martinez Campos to remain
in the island and prosecute another
campaign against the rebels. and has
promised him five million pounds and
ten thousand recruits whercwith to do
it. There must be Il pretty strong rem
nant of the Cuban republic hidden
somewhere in the mountains, If so much

tire war fund voted few weeks ago by
the British parliament--and so many

already in the field, are required for its

Spreading its leahess blooms IN IA damp nook

Here might the red-bird come his plume To cool
And Court the flower that che apens his array
Rhndora ii tn" sages ask thee why
This charm IS wasted on the marsh and sky,
Dear tell them that II eyes were made for seeing
