In the Cradle Of the Race.

Railroad building has begun in the fan
East. The next quarter of a century
will see Nineveh, Babylon, Damascus,
and the cities familiar to us through the
most ancient of ancient history, within
easy communication of the rest of the
modern world by complete system of
railways. A road, 500 miles long, is
now under way from the Black to the
Caspian sea. 1t runs along the valley of
the river of Cyrus, south of the eau
casus. and from a portion of it Mount
Ararat is in sight. 1t seems incredible
that there should be business to Justify
railroads in these graves of old nations,
but wherever human beings live they
must travel, and food and clothing must
be transported from one point to another.
The steel rails will soon girdle Mesopo-
tamia, Central Asia and Arabia, and viii.
help to bring about the poets dream of
the parliament of men, the federation of
al the nations.-Demorests Monthly.

and was willing to make what compen..

her basket.
"Tn div 90 vat" said she, holding
it out to Caroline, with a radiant smile.
"You are kind O. sweet, after all!.
said Caroline, relenting. IF you'll
give me kiss, I'll forgive you this
time, though you mustn't ever DO such
thing again"
Derry always had plenty of kisses to
give away. So she paid up her debt
willingly.
Then Caroline took her in her arms
and carried her all the way home.

Derry gave each of her brothers and
sisters one of her flowers to exc out the
rather small supply they had found to
put in their May-baskets.
Then they went in and told their

FINE AND SAD.

A fine game is Grab-bag, a fine game to seel
For Christmas, and New Year, and birthdays
Happy children, all laughing and screaming
with gee!
If they draw nothing more than popcorn
ball,
And hold it alOft with a loud, ringing cheer:
Their arms waving high, all SO graceful and
Their heads almost humping. SO close and so
The laughter grows louder; the eyes grow
more bright.
Oh, sweet is the laughter, and gay is the
sight
A fine game is Grab-bag! a fine game to see!
A strange game of Grab-bag saw yesterday;
I'll never forget it as long as live.
Some street-beggars played it-poOr things,
Aman with a sack on his back and a sieve
A poker to stir in the barrels Of dirt
A basket to hold bits of food he might find
Twas pitiful sight, and a sight that hurt,
But sight it is well to keep in ones mind.
His children were with him, two girls and three
Their heads held down close, and their eyes
all intent;
No sound from their lips of glad daughters
No choice of bright playthings to them the
A chance of a bit of waste cinder to burn:
A chance of acrust Of stale bread they could
eat;
A chance-in thousand, as chances return
OF ragged odd shoes they could wear on their
feet!
The baby that yet could not totter alone
Was held up to see, and, as grave rs the rest.
Watched wistful each crust, each cinder, each
bone,
And snatched at the morseis he thought
look the best.
The sister that held him, oppressed by his
weight
Herself but an over-yeared baby, poor
Had the face of q woman, mature sedate,
And looked but the older whenever she
smiled.
oh, sad game is Grab-bag-a sad game to
As beggars must play it, and their chances
When Hunger finds crusts an occasion for
And Cold finds no rags too worthless or
o children, whose faces have shone with de-
light,
Asyou played at your Grab-bag with shout
ing and cheer,
And stretched out your arms, all so graceful
and white,
And gay!y bumped heads, crowdng near and
more near,
With laughter and laughter, and eyes growing
bright
Remember this picture, this pitiful sight,
OF sad game OF u raD-bag-a sad game to see!
