whether tho objections to the existing order as
regards the right Of private property and the
distribution Of wealth have ever received such
lucid and effective statement
1t il uncertain whether the second and last
installmcnt Of these notes. to be published at
nm early day. will embody Mills's judgment as
to the wisdom. on the whole. OF replacing the
present order OF things by a new scheme reared
on the doctrine OF communal ownership. That
lac would decide in the negative can hardly be
doubted 10y those who remember the opinions
expressed in those chapters Of his political
economy which dealt with tho topics OF peasant
proprletors. OF cooperation. and the future OF
the laboring classes. But II Is equally plain,
from the tenor OF the discussion printed in the
F6rtnjohtlv. that the decision would be only pro-
visional; that 1t would be based not on objec-
tons to the communal principle in the alb
stract but to this or that particular
scheme propounded for its application.
And II II should prove that tho projects
rejected are identical with those superseded by
the system OF Marx. the argument. from i'm
practlcabity. would naturally lose much Of Its
weight At all events. the partisans OF individ-
ua property will be apt to think that Mill con-
cedes altogether too much when he begins by
putting them on the defensive. and shifting the
burden Of proof. This he does. however. in
remarkable sentence. which Ia likely to sur
prise his disciples among the propertied classes
OF Great Britain. They who object he says. to
the present order OF society. have right 10 set
down as proceeding from that order all the
evils which now exist. whether these are seem
ingly attributable to social arrangements or
not provided they do not flow from physical
laws which human power is not adequate. or

BABY'S DEAD.

Just whisper from the skies,
In the hush Of midnight dreary,
Clasped with peace the aching eyes,
Bore their little sufferer weary
Home to rest in heavens sweet morrow;
While far round our footsteps spread
Depths of wild unwavering sorrow.
Baby's dead!
Still around that brow so fair
More than earthly beauty fingers;
Gently smooth the falling hair,
Fold the tiny frozen fingers;
Twine the curls so proudly tended,
In halo round his head;
Pride and hope alike are ended.
Baby's dead!
Lonely to the hopeless tomb,
Darling child how shall we yield thee?
From its drear corroding gloom
Love would freely die to shield thee.
Can we bear that dust should gather
Round our darling's golden head?
Spare the bitter cup, Father,
Baby's dead!
Dead and light is quenched in tears;
Hopes that blossomed but to wither,
Sunny dreams of after years,
Lost in deaths cold gulf forever.
Sun and moon and stars are smitten
With despair's dark night o'erspread
Round the universe is written,
Baby's dead!
Darling, from your slumbers deep,
Mother calls-will you not wakenf
In that lone, mysterious sleep.
Do you dream of hearts forsaken?
Safe where joys neer droop and languish,
Are you watching overhead?
Oh, the passion of the anguish, ...
...- Baby's dead!
Peace, at last, may hush the strife,
Where no mists of parting sever,
We may meet thee crowned with life,
Clasp thee in our love forever.
But tonight, bereft and lonely,
Yearn we for our treasure fed, ...
While weird echoes answer only,
Baby's dead!
