Written for Mrs. r. VI. Baker OF Augusta
en- the Death of her Children.
Death. two tiny Germs has taken,
With its cold resistess hand,
Snatched them from your kind protection,
Bore them to the Summer land.
Now your home is dresr and lonely,
For you loved those precious Germs,
In loves shelterng fold you kept them,
Free You thought from earthly harm.
And YOU fain would have STAYED Deaths angel,
Still your loving watch have kept,
With Mothers love have guided
Carefully their every step;
Nobly you performed your duty
While they were with YOU ON earth,
Fitted well those little buildings
For that higher, nobler birth.
Environed with these earth temptations,
We are tempted oft to stray
From the paths of right and duty,
Into errors downward way;
When upon the past you are looking,
You see nsught TO give you pain,
Not one act by them committed,
That you wish to have undone.
For our ol0H we are never looking
For the dark, the cloudy SIDE,
Only looking Tor the sunshine
Ne'er for Times ungentle tide;
Bnt there is an all wise Being,
" no our future all caa scan,
And, He knows. lie holds the future
In the hollow Of his hand.
If you could have scanned the future,
For those Germs taken young,
Gladly would your heart have answered,
1t is best; Thy will be done;
Better that those buds were taken,
Plucked fl om off the mother stem,
Than the mother plant thus early
Should be plucked away from them.
For long years ilh all their changes
Have better fitted you to bear
You know better how to battle,
With esrths sorrow and 1t. care,
Now you feel they expanding,
Feel they've "climed the g Ilden STAIR
They have naught, 10 impede their progress,
That We earth oues meet with here.
Softly round you in the cleaning,
VIII their gentle footsteps fall,
You will feel their spirit presence,
You will hear them softly call;
Look not on the past dear mother,
Strive to check that rising sigh,
Look beyond to that sweet reunion,
With your loved ones, bye and bye
And blessed thought will sustain you,
Help you here to labor on,
Never shrinking from your duty,
Ii is this, When all is done;
When my earthly work is finished,
When hear the Boatmans oar,
| shall Gasp again my darngs,
Call them mine, iOfeyermore.

ELIZA" said fond mother to her offspring
recently, as that offspring was about going
forth in tow of young man who worships the
very sidewalk she walks upon, "go to the
breadbox and eat good big crust of bread be

ing girl, II don't feel the least hungry. We
have only just had tea" ~ knowit, but when
Adolphus takes you into arestaurantyou'll eat
ice cream and spunge cake, and ham sand
witches and oysters enough to scare HIM out
of a years growth Beware how you sit down
on the budding flame of Cupid. OF course
Adolphus will spend the money you save him
on billiards and things, but that makes no diff
ference. When he asks you to 90 in and have
some oysters, even if you are hungry, don't
Say you do not approve of girls wasting the
money of their future husbands on trities when
it might be applied toward furnishing house
Point out that with the price Of an oyster stew
you might purchase towels, now that towel
ing is so cheap, and that Saddle Rock roast
is the equivalent of silver fork, plated OF
course but not easily distinguished from solid
silver, or a glass sugar bowl This always
takes the young men, it sets them to thinking
of housekeeping and matrimony; it makes
them believe you are the incarnation of econo-
my and would make an excellent wife; and so
they often say things which give you hold
over them, and are effective before a jury"

acted upon them with such earnestness and
effect that when she came home she was an

BUDGET OF FUN.

Charles Hewitt lives IN Macomb county and
pursues agriculture. When he had sold his
load of potatoes on the market he took his
way to a female fortuneteller and paid his
dollarbill to have her roll her eyes and begin
"You live on farm. You are true good
Young man. You would 60 a mile out ofyoul
way rather than hit mosquito with sledge
hammer You love girl. Beware! She
pretend to love you, but she's a base hypocrite
Crush her memory from your heart this hour
You will soon meet rich lady who will fall
in love with you and lead you a life of lheav
enly happiness-that's all-turn to the lett as
YOU get down stairs"
Charles reached the street with pale face
shining eyes and swelling heart and he took
from his pocket photograph, tore it into
strips, and kicked up behind in his rage as he
Kissed:
"Over six shillings squandered on that faith
less girl this winter for peppermint drops
alone!"
When Charles was picked up at midnight he
had crawled under a wagon IN an alley and
cried himself to sleep.
"Boy!" began his Honor, in voice that
made the stove-pipe trembe, 'you are too pure
and innocent for this wicked world. Bljah
will hunt up your other suspender and the bot,
tie of hairdyc which were taken from you, and
then you can skip for the blessed country and
swallow rose-buds enough to bring on the gal

went.-Detroit Free Press.

came up to be case tried in which China
man was the complaining witness against &
white man. During the impannelling of the
jury, one of the attorneys questioned closely
the men summoned as jurors to ascertain theiI
views on the Chinese question. He asked one
of them:
"Would you believe Chinaman under
oath?"
The witness responded in the affirmative.
"Would you believe Chnaman as quickly
as you would a white man:''
"Well" hesitatingly, 81 would believe him
as soon as l would some white men"
THAT isn't an answer to my question.
