A Voice Lost and Found.

About six years ago Mr.. Libby, Of
Buxton, went down to the Pool and
went out fishing with a party. Soon
after they started he began to grow
hoarse and be slightly pressed for
breath, but he thought it was caused by
dampness and fog that was rising from
the water. He steadily grew worse
until he could hardly whisper. About
noon the party landed on one of the
islands to cook their fish and eat their
dinner, and Mr.. Libby, who was stand
ing beside the fire, found himself un-
able to speak. The party went home
the next day deeply deploring the con-
dition of their friend, who showed no
signs of Improvement For three years
Mr.. Libby remained in a mute state,
communicating to his friends by the
use of slate. Mr.. Libby was prevailed
upon to go down to the Pool again fish
ing, and the party with him landed on
the island where three years before he
had lost his speech. They built a fre
and proceeded to dinner, and as Mr..
Libby was walking around after dinner
he suddenly slipped on small stone
and fell on his side. When he arose he
found himself able 10 speak as well as
ever he could, and he continued to
speak and have full power of speech
until his death. which occurred about
two years after his recovery of speech.

BABY BROTHER.


I've got little baby brother,
Hos just as sweet as he can be;
don't believe there is another
In al the town as nicea as he.
He isn't mine, and no one else's.
Because he's partly sister Nays;
And both of US we love him dearly.
He has such sweet and cunning ways.
But 1 don't think that May can love him
'Zactly quite as much as me;
Because I'm so much oldern she is,
And got "a bigger heart, you see.
The baby's name is Philip Henry,
And he Is ten months OLD to-day:
He's got six teeth, and when he's laughing
They show in such pretty way.
Ny mamma says We mast be careful
OF all the things we say and do;
Because, IL he should see us naughty,
'Twould teach him to be naughty, too.
I'm almost sorry that she told US,
It's such 'spOnsibility,
Think. for children that's no bigger
Than little sister May and me.
This morning, when was so bad
And, cause Icouldn't have what wanted,
scoided May and got so mad.
Il is so hard to think about it
Just every minute of the day;
We both of us forget so easy,
When we are taken up with play.
I'm awful sorry IL he noticed.
And know just what will do;
And If he did see me this morning
Perhaps he'll notice this time, too.
I'll 20 and ask May to forgive me
For all the unkind things 1 said;
And then my badness of this morning
Will may be go out of his head.
He seems Just like little angel,
And shall do the best can
To help him keep rs sweet and lovely
Till he grows up to be man.
And could he even then, wonder,
Be like an angel If he tried?
Men never do look much like angels;
But may be, though, they are inside.

The Placid Grocer.

A Detroit grocer the other day dis
played a dozen cakes of the clearest
and incest new maple sugar possible to
make, and as he stood at his door a cit
izen halted and looked at the sugar and
queried:
..New?"
s.No; it's old"
'.Make it yourselfP''
.sYes."
''Adulterated?" :.
sYes."
Shouldn't think it would be
healthy"
1T isn't"
Then why do you want to sell itP''
81 don't want to. set it out here
SO that dray could cart it off and dump
it on some vacant lot "
The citizen looked up and down the
street, across the way, and finally said:
81 guess FL take two pounds of your
warmed-up. adulterated old sugar. If it
was new l wouldn't touch the stuff at
any price. Please weigh this cake"
He paid for the sugar and carried it
away; but he looked like a man who
wanted to say something mean to some-
body.

AORN'AND EVE.

I see her at my cottage door.
A little child. with sweet blue eyes,
Where linger yet, like mornings mist,
The look she brought from paradise.
And by her side an old man sits,
And dreams of days long since gone by,
While overhead a robin sings,
And sunset giories light the sky.
Along the paths her feet have trod
Hopes fairest. brightest blossoms spring;
She hears no mournful undertone,
But sweet and clear life's joy-bells ring.
She laughs to hear the joyous song,
The sweet-voiced robin gayly trills,
But he, with faded, wistful eyes,
Watches the sunset DER the hills.
And then. soft signing, whispers low,
my day, like this, draws near its close,
And night comes slowly stealing on,
The night which brings me sweet repose."
