Rock me to Sleep. Mother.

Backward, turn backward, oh, time in your
flight,
Make me child again, just Tor tonight
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as Of yore-
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care,
smooth the few silver threads from my hair
over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother. rock me to sleep.
Backward, flow backward, oh, tide OF the
years!
am so weary Of toll and of tears
IOll without recOmpense-tears al in vain
lake me and give me my childhood again.
have grown weary of dust and decay,
Weary OF tllnging my souls wealth away
Weary OF sowing for others to reap;
ROCK me to sleep, mother rock me to sleep.
Tired OF the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother, oh, mother! my heart calls for YOU!
Many a summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded-our faces between
4et,with strong yearninghnd passionate pain,
Long Tonight for your presence again;
Come from the silence so long and so deep
Rock me to sleep. mother, rock me to sleep.
Over my heart in the days, that are flown.
NOilove like mothers love ever has shown
no other worship abides and endures,
Faithful, unscltfsh and patient, like yours:
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and world weary brain:
Slumter's soft calm DER my heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to slice :.
Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with
gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old
Let it fall over my forehead tonight,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
For with its sunny edged shadows once more,
HAPPY will throng the sweet visions of yore
Lovingly, softly, its bright pillows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep.
Mother, dear mother, the years have been
long
Since last hushed to your lullaby song
Sing then, and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhood's years have been but dream;
Clasp to your arms in loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep.

that time. On the northern part of this
farm was small town of the name OF
Dublin. It had 300 inhabitants, and was
the terminus of the Bennington Run
Railroad. Not single house remains.
In fact, one would think, not knowing any
better, that it had never been cleared.
Many towns like this have gone the same

IT is possible that one Of the changes of
the near future in the mill architecture of
New England will be an extensive substi-
tuition Of one,story buildings for the pres
cnt five and six.story factories. Their ad-
vantages are increased safety and con-
yenience and the higher speed at which
machinery can be operated without in.
creasing repairs. A report on last winters
use Of a new building of this character,
erected by New England gingham man
featuring company, says that, compared
with the building formerly used foT the
same purpose, "the saving in gas alone
during the winter has paid the interest
on the cost Of the building" This struc-
ture covers about an acre, is built of
brick with corner towers and cost only
$4,000, or 50 cents per square foot Of floor
surface. The looms in the new building
have been driven at l2 per cent higher
speed than they were on the second floor
ofthe old mill, now used for carling and
spinning, and the repairs and imperfect
work are less.

his guess was that it would be found to be

lions. In Congressman the east would
lose and the west gain, but not so much
as some OF the Western States expected.
1t was very natural that the growing
States OF the West should over-estimate
their population. Guesses OF the number
OF persons in State or city made by or.
binary persons were always far too high.
1t took a trained statistician to tell the
difference between million and a hun.

whole would lose a Congressman was BY
no means certain. The Atlantic States
would lose, but he looked for considerable
gains by Missouri and Texas.
