Baby's Legacy.

One day last week when the remains of a
woman had been driven away from tene-
ment on Division street to a pauper's grave,
half dozen women gathered in the rooms
to act as executors. Law did not enter with
them. There was not enough there to at
tract the vulture. The bed was old and poor
only fit for bonfire. The stove would
hardly pay for removal. Three or four old
chairs, table, few pieces Of crockery-
even the poorest who had gathered there had
no use for them. And yet woman and her
babe had lived there among the shadows for
long months. No. it is not living; it was
dragging out the hours-waiting for another
sunset-for another sunrise-for the coming
of the glad relief. When the body has long
been i'll and soulsck-when days and nights
and weeks and months have brought moth
ing but cold and hunger and groans of de-
spair, the dread of death is nothing. The
coming of the shadow is even hailed with
glad satisfaction. And so they had lived
and one night when the winds howled
drearily and the snowflakes whirled through
the broken panes, and the mother and her
boy slept-she to awaken no more on earth.
His little hands were toying with her cold
dead face when they found him. They took
him away and he smiled when he said
"poor babe You are all alone now" When
the mother had gone to her narrow home
they crept up stairs to the dismal room, and
one of them said; ave have found home
for the child but he must not forget his
mother. Let us look for his legacy" And
80 they searched old dresses, and peeped into
the dark corners, and reveren,ly opened the
old boxes at the foot of the bed. One found
an old scrap-book; another necklace OF
beads another a knot of ribbon, and when
the search was ended, there on the table
was heap of relics which they wept over
There was something there which told of a
girls love; there was something there which
told of marriage-of happiness-of hus
bands death-of deep sorrow and bitter pow
erty. An auctioneer would have turned away
in contempt-a rag-buyer would not have
gathered them up, and yet these women,
each with the heart of mother, handled
each relic with fresh tears. There was nc
story in them for man-there was whole
| lifes history in them for woman. They
had not found even penny in money--not
an article that would bring dime-not even
enough property there to call for removal
and yet they had found something there OF
more value than gold or diamonds. There
was legacy for the babe. There was 6
laded llntype OF lather ana mother, soint
letters stained with tears, two locks of hail
pinned to the same card-more to him thar
If the old boxes had been full of bright dol
lars. Only by them will he recall the deaC
will he realize mothers love and devo
ton-will he know that one dark morning
women crept up the stairs and found hin
prattling to the dead. Money might hav,
worked his ruin. Those relics, on which
mothers tears have fallen-over which
mothers prayers have assembled to heaven
will be holy light to guide him through
the deepest gloom.-Detroh Free Press.

ALEssoN IN A GARDEN.

In the bright spiendor Of the spring.
When the first butterflies are flying,
And the south wind with Ia scented wing
Shakes all the rosebuds with It's signing,
Then the green caterplars dare
To feed on all things fresh and fair
One Of them-none to my surprise
OF all but his own self unheedlng,
Ills sixteen legs, two jaws, twelve eyes.
Upon a cabbage leaf was feeding,
As busy, self-ahsorbed, and trim,
A the world was made for him.
A shrouded, shriveled form he spies,
Had once a caterpillar been.
Had sixteen legs, two jaws, twelve eyes,
And worn like him the brightest green,
Reallyw he said, and made a pause,
This things a chrysalis, I supposed
"Ive heard that II will live again,
win breathe, and eat, have wings and fly,
The things not likely, | maintain,
And whats not likely. deny.
hope at least, without pretense,
am worm OF common sense"
Fen IA he spoke, the case was rent,
And lo two wondrus wings unfold,
OF bronze and crimson richly bent,
And powdered DER with dust Of gold.
They spread themselves for happy flight,
Bathed in the sunshine and the light.
The caterpillar crawled away,
Eating his road; but could see,
Though he had nothing more to say,
He'd lost his self-sufilclency.
Perchance. though TO his loaf he clngs.

THE SITTING OF PETER.

In ST. Luke's gospel we are told
How Peter in the days OF old
Was sifted.
And now, though ages intervene,
Sin IL the same, while time and scene
Are shifted.
Satan desires us, great and small,
"A wheat to slft MS. and we all
Are tempted
Not one, however rich or great,
Is by his station or estate
Exempted.
No house so safely guarded Is
But he by some device Of his,
Can enter;
No heart hath armor 80 complete
But he can pierce with arrows fleet
Its center.
For all at last the cock will crow,
who hear the warning voice, but go
Unheeding,
Till thrice and more they have denied
The Man of Sorrows, crucined
And bleeding.
one look at that pale, suffering face
win make us feel the deep disgrace
OF weakness;
We shall be sfled TIL the strength
OF self-conceit be changed at length
To meekness.
Wounds of the soul, though healed, will ache,
The reddenlng scars remain, and make
Confessions;
Lost Innocence returns no more;
We are not what we were before
Transgresson.

The Old Family Physician at Fault-Dr. David
Kennedy the Successful Surgeon.
Money is the universal necessity, and none but
cynic or fool will affect to despise 1t. Mr. Abram
Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster county, N Y,
had realized this truth. His disease involved the
whole Of his thigh-bone, and the suffering man
looked forward, not without apparent reason, to
death as his only deliverer. His family physician
refused to amputate the understanding that the
operation would kill the patient on the spot. DR..
DdUid Kennedy, of Rondout, N Y, who was con-
suited, held a different opinion, and amputated
the limb. The Doctor then administered freely
his great Blood Specific FAvORlTE REMEDY to
afford tone and strength to the system, prevent
the return Of the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth re-
mains to this day in the bloom of health This
gentleman's disease was the offspring OF foul
blood, and Kennedy FAvORITE REMEDY puri-
fed the blood and restored to him the power once
more to enjoy his life Are you suffering from

This bitter principle, combined with aromatics

grand secrets Of Hoods Sarsaparilla, which 9TH

reason Of Its unparalleled success in curing
