The Iowa Legislature on the Financia
Question.


Question.
Dies MONIES. Ia. Feb. 1.-THE House this
morning adopted the following resolutions
by party vote:
Be 1t Resolred by the general assembly of
the State of Iowa, That the public credit
should be sacredly maintained, and all obi
cations of the government honestly discharg-
ed. We favor the early attainment of cur
rency conyertibly with coin, and, therefore,
advocate gradual resumption of specie pay
ment by continuous and steady steps in that
direction. The silver dollar having been a
legal unit of value from the foundation
of the federal government until 1873, the
laws under which its coinage was suspended
should be repealed at the earliest possible
day, and silver made with gold legal ten
der for the payment of all debts, both public
and private; that we believe the present vol
ume of legal tender currency should be
maintained until the wants of trade and
commerce demand its further contraction
that copy of these resolutions be forwarded
to our Senators and Representatives in Con
preSS,

HOW THE BABY GAME.

HOW THE BABY GAME.
BY MARY E. BRADLEY.
The Lady Moon came down last night
She did, you needn't doubt it
A lovely lady dressed in white;
I'll tell you all about it.
They hurried Len and me to bed,
And aunty said, 'sNOw may be.
That pretty moon up overhead
viii bring us down baby"
"You lie as quiet as can be;
Perhaps you'll catch her peeping
Between the window-bars, to see
If all the folks are sleeping.
And then, if both of you keep still,
And all the room is shady,
She'll float across the window-sll,
bonnie white mOOn-lady."
Across the sill, along the floor.
You'll see her shining brightly,
Until she comes to mothers door,
AQO Lueu SIlt IL tdulou AsouUlJ'
But in the 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 aunty's always chatting,
The tale she tells to me and Len
Would make you die a laughing.
And when she went pretty soon,
Len said, "That's aunty's humming,
There amt a bit of lady-moon,
Nor any baby coming
thought myself it was fib.
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 off-and don't you think,
Ineyer walked till morning!
Then there was aunty by my bed,
And when climbed and kissed her,
She laughed and said, ssYou sleepy head!
You've got little sister!
What made you shut your eyes so soon?
I've half mind to scold you-
For down she came, that lady-moon,
Exactly as 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 rush
For mothers room that minute!
But aunty stopped us, crying, 'Hush!
Or else you shant 60 in it,"
And SO we had to tip-toe in,
And keep us awful quiet,
As if it were a mighty sin
To make a bit of riot.
But there was baby, anyhow
The funniest little midget!
I just wish you could peep in now,
And see her squirm and fidget,
Len says he don't believe it's true
(He isn't such gaby)
The moon had anything to 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!
