FAME AND DUTY.

~wHAr shall do, lest life in silence pass?"
''Andif il do.
And never prompt the bray of noisy brass,
What need 81 thou rue!
Remember. aye. the ocean deeps are mute;
The shadows roar;
Worth is the ocean-fame Is but the bruft
Along the shore.
~ What shall do to be forever KNOWN
THY duty ever.
"Jhis did full many who yet slept unknown.
''Oh. never, never!
Think ST thou percbance that they remain
unknown

The simple duties with which each day Is

Yea. with thy might.
Ere perfect scene of action thou devise

While he who ever acts as CON cience cries
Shall live. though dead"

Clerks office, and knowing that am
always interested in the facts and
figures of everything. he brought me
home little slip Of paper with the
number of babies who have died in our
beautiful Detroit in three months and
are buried at Elmwood, Woodmere,
Mt. Elliott and the German Lutheran
Cemeteries. There were seventy babies
died in the month of MAY, lib in June
and LAG in July-a bad record for July
of 1880, since it exceeds our infant
mortality of all proceeding years.
Mother says the great heat was the
cause, and that as many died in one
week in New York City. Poor little

ton from the Bible when he says:

sings that very hymn to Mabel, but

THE BABY'S FUNERAL.

dertaker's story---Anr Wiedersehen.
WE could hardly see it at first, for
something that was in our eyes, and
made sort of mist. but as it moved
slowly away we looked after it, and
thought how pretty and appropriate it
was: Father saw us all standing at the
window. and when we said it was the
baby's hearse, he looked too, and then
something got into his eyes, and he
walked of, and picked little Mabel up
and gave her such kiss. and she
seemed to understand what he meant,
and held out her little white hands and
said, "pretty ba-bee," and then we
all laughed and squeezed her, and moth
er must be getting nervous, for she
cried, just as if it had been our baby
that had gone away.
staid at the window as long as
could see the little white carriage. with
its clear glass sides. and all the lovely
flowers heaped within as if there had
been nothing else but load of rose
buds, and white carnations and velvet
pansies Then looked to see if the
long white ribbons, with their garland
of green leaves and pale pink buds had
been taken from the door; they were
still there, but while l was looking q
white haired woman came and took
them in. She was crying, and 1 thought
she was the baby's grandmother, and
most likely would be glad to die now.
and why must the little child go first. l
told mother about it, and she said if
would look in my Sunday-school Bible
would know, and referred me to the
last clause of the 18th verse of st.
Mark, Chapter Y; then she sung to
Mabel as she often does, but this time
it was about "a Reaper whose name is
Death" and wished the baby's moth
err could have heard the verse:
"Hc gazed ut the flowers with fearful eyes,
He kissed their dropping leaves,
II was for the Lord of Paradise,
He bound them in their sheaves."
We all knew mothers heart was full.

had curiosity to see more of the
baby's hearse, so one day l stepped into
the place where it is kept and asked the
man who has charge of it, to let me
look at it.

MY heart almost stood still.
Measure the baby?' echoed his
words in a dazed way, for it was not
week since,
I'VE measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall"
What did he mean?
'.Hyou just want to see the vehicle"
he continued. seeing this was not
business call, ''come right out and look
at it; it's the first one ever came to
Detroit-been in use thirteen years, and
pretty as picture yet. Now amt it q
beauty" and he stepped up and took OIL
the covering.
1t was pretty. White and satiny
smooth, with gold and silver rails run
ming along the sides, and pretty carved
ornaments of wood engraved with gold
and silver, and crystal sides, with Q
white silk curtain festooned within and
little silver urns to hold fresh flowers;
four snow-white, nodding plumes dec
GRATED the corners. and the wheels glis-
tened in their freedom from spot or
blemish. 1t looked so like the pretty
coach baby would choose to ride in,

A CONTEMPORARY discusses "Giris as
Housekeepers." 1t strikes us the idea
is plausible. With little teaching. we
believe girls would make tolerably good
housekeepers, and it is strange the idea
has not been earlier promulgated. Some
persons have an idea that girls can do
nothing but read Mrs. Alphabetical
Southworth' snovels, and work green and
blue dogs on black cloth; but this is mis-
take. Some girls have been known TO
help their mothers wash dishes, and it
is believed that, with proper training,
the average girl would develop into
very successful housekeeper. Wei hope
the experiment will be tried.-Norrss-

it's subdued-kind Of kept in, all the

change steps coming back, and move

Are all babies buried in the babies
hearse?'
"All that can afford it and a good
many that can't; it costs eight to ten
dollars a trip for that alone, and on ac-
count of the glass sides, the casket must
be handsome one, and that costs all
the way from twenty to one hundred
dollars and then people like to have a
good many flowers, and they cost a
good penny, but it is beautiful sight,

the women all along the route would
come out and look after it, and cry,
like it was their baby; older children
use it too-as old as twelve years, but
there amt so many of them die"
"What did they do before the hearse
was nader"
Carried them in their laps some
times in the first carriage, or put the
casket in the seat, or had the big
hearse, Just as they fancied; it wasn't
SO comfortable and convenient a way
either; there's lots of babies die; you
can see rows upon rows of little graves
up at ElmwoOd or Mount Elliott, in
some lots eight lying side by side.

AMONG many other Irish grievances
which have at various times called for
Parliamentary interference there is one
which no longer exists. In former days
Ireland was afflicted with plague Of
wolves, which not only committed dep
relations on the cattle in the country.
but sometimes on winter nights entered
villages and the suburbs Of towns. In
1862 Sir John Ponsonby. in the Irish
House Of Commons, reported the great
increase Of wolves, and the same was q
grievance" The House made law for
the taking and killing Of them The
wolves. however. grew in numbers and
boldness, and even at the beginning oil
the last century continuedto be grea::
nuisance. They are now extinct. and
so is the breed Of large Irish wolf dogs
kept to destroy them.
