A stricken mother, mum at heart and BRAIN
Lies bowed above little empty bed,
Spent with the ress and duranee of erpain
Her sarrow for the ehildlove who is dead
If she could only hear again those feet
That blithely patteret up and down the

If she might kisr the cherub mouth so sweet,
And stroke once more the curls Of silken
hair;
If--but this wishing Is so vain, SO valid,
That now her anguishod heart cries out 10

Let me, too, sleep beneath my darling's sodr'
But sudden DER her faded sense is borne
soft celestial strain, while in her ears
The saer' woTds-"Blessed are they THAI
mourn,
For well they shall be eomforted,' she hears.
A flood of radiant glory fills the room
Mus and light in mellow minglement;
Some gracious influence banished the gloom
And hreathes an essence Of deyine content:
And 10! q concoursc of the heavenly host
Hovers above her in the ambient air.
OF HON the fairest bears the babe she lost
In loving arms, withe fondly fostering care
The little child with calm seraphic eyes
Pillows her head upon the angels breast,
While i'll her pure eonfidIng trust she lies
In the safe heaven of Gods hottest rest
The tender faces Of the heavenly throng
Shed comfort on the desoate mothers pain
The low, Speet cadence OF their perfect song
Consoles here with its glad yet soothing
strain
Believe that In Gilead there is balm.
A d surely a benign Physician there,
Oven her spirit gently steals the calm
Born OF resigned and benedictional prayer

The camel presents very interesting
phenomenon in his wcll-known bumps.
Those protuberances consist really in re-
serve stores Of fat, which the camel uses
not only for keeping up the action Of his
cart and lungs. but also for producing
locomotion in his frequently enforced
fasts among the deserts Of Arabia or
India. The Jumps dwindlc away as he
marches, in q manner exactly similar TO
that Of the bears fat during hi hiberna-
ton, only, Of course, much more rapidly,
as they have much more y Ork % perform.
1t may appear strange that the small
amount Of food that we eat should suffice
to carry our large and bulky bodies
through all the varied movements OF the

once when we recollect what a large
amount Of energy can be laid by dormant
