BABY LOOKING OUT FOR ME-.

Two Laughing. bright eyes looking out at me;
Two rosy-red cheeks dented with = dimplc;
Mother-bird Ia coming; baby do you see3
Down by the hlac-bush. something white ant

Well knew the apron and shoulder-knot Of
ribbon,
AL belonged to baby. looking our for me.
Talking low and tenderly
To myself as mothers will,
Spake 1 softly, God in Heaven,
Keep my darling free from ill.,
Worldly gain and worldly honors
Ask not for her from Thee;
But from want and sin and sorrow
Keep her ever pure and free"
Two little waxen hands,
Folded soft and silently;
Two little curtained eyes,
Looking out no more for me;
Two little snowy cheeks,
D:mple-dented nevermore;
Two little trodden shoes,
That will new. touch the floor;
Shoulder-ribbon softly twisted,
Apron folded, clean and white;
These are left me-snd these only
OF the childish presence bright.
Thus he sent an answer to my earnest praying
Thus He keeps my darling free from earth1,
Thus he folds til. pet lamb safe from earthl,
But j miss her sadly by the widow pane,
Till look above it; then with purer vision,
Sad weep no longer the lilac.bush to pass,
For see her. pure and white and sinless,
Walking with the harpers, ON the sea OF glass
Two little snowy wings
Softly dutter to and fro,
Two tiny childish hands
Beekon still to me below;
Two tender angel eyes
Watch me ever earnestly
Through the loep-holes of the stars;
Baby's looking out Tor me.

And lifted its shining lid.

While all about him were visions
Full OF prophetic bliss;
But he never thought OF the magic

LAST DAYS.

The long brown beach lies sleeping in the sun,
The hot white noon leans idly to the bay;
Cloud upon folded cloud, above my head,
Opens the blossom OF the perfect day.
There is y color like . living soul
Upon the half-revealed but half.veiIed sky;
Glad to sad eyes. reclines the flushed full tide,
Celestial body that shall never die.
Ny prayers look out like orphans through their
tears
Ny heart cries ont. o life! O life! for thee.
But One across the water drsweth nigh.
Too kind and SO too dumb to answer me

The Activity in Iron.

The Wytheville Enterprise states that
the Lobdell Car Wheel Company, Of Viii
mineton. Del. have purchased the Brown
Hill Furnace and the Waller Furnace i'll that
county. Thsse properties have been lying
idle for years, and it is the purpose of the
purchasers to at once put them in order for
active operations. Messrs. Lobdell & Co.
examined various other iron properties in
Wythe county. with view OF purchas ing,
but could not agree upon the price.
The Indications show very clearly that
the mineral fields OF Virginia are the objective
point of eastern iron men, and that the
properties which have been rather a source
of encumbrance than profit for many years
past, will soon become active tax-paying
resources, A number of eastern gentlemen
have recently been prospecting through this
portion of the Valley, and examining min
erai lands, evidently it'll view to invest
ment. These facts ought not to be in
differently passed by in this community. We
should turn our attention to the advantages
Staunton possesses for manufacturing pur-
poses, and by some definite and concerted
action, encourage the establishment of en-
terprises connected with the manufacture of
iron. 1t will not be many years, if all signs
do not deceive us, before vast iron indus
tries will have grown up in the mineral belts
of the Valley. which will necessitate. or at
least present fine openings for other enter
prses directly associated with them. Staun-
ton is peculiarly adapted for such purposes,
and if our citizens would show their own
confidence in their advantages, Others would
be thereby attracted, aud capital and enter
prise come to our assistance.

is President, and the Hon. Levi c. Wade. Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives. Vice President. The latter starts for Mexico tomorrow. Import ant concessions have been secured from the Mexican Government, so that a valuable land grant will aid the con struction of a road through the Valley of Sonora to the port of Guaymas, on the Gulf of California. The road will extend 300 or 400 miles in Mexican territory. and, should the line be com pleted as now contemplated, the Atrh- ison, Topeka and Santa Fe will con trol a through line to the Pacific. The law under which the company is or ganized was introduced in 0 the Legis. lature for the purpose of promoting this enterprise, as the concession had already been guaranteed by the Mexi- can Government. But, to cover simi- lar cases which might rise hereafter, the law was made general and not spe- cial. The passage of the law was necessary at the time, because the Mexican Government demanded that the corporation be formed under a State law authorizing it to build roads outside the State.
