For the journal
MY BABY.
The dear Lord gave into my keeping
A treasure pure and fair,
And heart was full of praise
And every thought was prayer.
How beautiful thought my darling,
How sweet my motherhood,
Close to my heart held him,
And said the Lord is good.
And day by day he grew still dearer
And filled my very soul
And thought and being until
lie seemed of life the whole.
never thought the Blessed Giver
Might take him back again,
And leave a stricken mother
In loneliness and pain
But, oh! too soon found my treasure
Was not my own to keep,
For while watched in sorrow,
My baby fell asleep;
And the Death Angel closed his eyelids
To ope on earth no more.
And bore an angel baby
Ihto brighter shofe.
And tried TO follow my darling
Away TO worlds unknown,
In through the shining portals.
Up TO the great white throne;
But conld not catch r golden CLEAN
az glory pure and bright,
Ere the pearly gates were closed,
Hiding my babe from sight.
They tell me that the look of glory
We saw upon his face,
Was but the bright reflection
Shed from the Fathers grace.
That unto the dear little children,
Unto the babes, is given,
The promise that their angels
shall see his face in Heaven.
SO will not think Of my baby
As sleeping meath the snow,
But waiting Der the river
Till am called to go;
And then he'll meet me at the portal,
His baby hand, so fair,
The pearly gate shall open
And bid me enter there.
But God knows the heart of the mother,
His loving eye can see
How keen the pang of parting,
And he will comfort me;
Than e'er II has before,
Now that have treasure
safe ON the other shore.

mored that Mr. keene is and has been for
some time great believer IN coal proper
ties and the rise in New York companies
and the Lackawana and Jersey Central
since yesterday morning is traced to his
free purchases. 1t is highly probable that
be does believe that the coal trade should
be no exception to the general revival OF
prosperity in all national interests. 1t Is
said that the Delaware Il Lackawa2a and
Central Jersey managers have come to a
mutual good understanding to pool their
tonnage prices We see no reason to
doubt further considerable rise IN both
stocks. 1t is idle, perhaps, to talk OF points
on these or any class of speculation, but
the coal trade is rapidly taking hold of DO
nular confidence and we should not be sur
prised at 90 for Delaware and Lacka-

SIMLA. Oct. 10.-The silence of Sir
Frederick Roberts since Monday is belieY-
ed TO imply the closing in of the Ghilfas
on tie rear of his communication. He
probably renewed fighting Tuesday which
impeded his advance to Cabul There has
been interruption of telegraph lines be-
tween Peuvai and Murrum. This fact
points to the disturbance. Having isolat-
ed Shutargarden. it is thought the position
of Frederick Roberts is rather grave,
though there is nothing to confirm such
belief, except the absence of news. Prepa-
rations in Khyber pass are rather back
ward. Our strategy is regarded by
adverse critics as defective for the reason
that operations are confined to one line
which render communication difficult
