ElEY IS DEAD.

One of the most touchingly beau
iiful tributes 10 dead baby that has
fallen under our notice for many
day is from the editor of the Tele-

"Baby is dead p Three little
wolds passed along the line; copied

still and cold, unclssped BY mothers
arms tonight. Eyes that Yesterday
were bright and blue as skies Of June
dropped tonight beneath white lids
that no voice can ever raise again.
Two soft hands, whose rose-leaf lin
gers were wont 20 wander lovingly
around mothers neck and face, loose
ly holding white buds, quietly folded
in confined rest. Soft lips, yester-
day ripping with laughter, sweet as
woodland brook falls, gay as trill of
forest birds; tonight unresponsive
to kiss or call of love. A silent home
the patter Of baby feet forever
hushed-a cradle bed suppressed,
little shoes half worn-dainty gar
ments, shoulder knots of blue to
match those eyes of yesterday, fold

mound snow-Lovered in some quiet
graveyard. A mothers cropping
tonch in uneasy slumber, for the fail
head chat shall never again rest upo1
her bosom. The low sob, tho bitter
tear, as broken dreams awake to sac
reality. The hope Of future years
wrecked, like fair ships that sudden

DON'T STOP MY PAPER

Don't stop my paper, printer,
Don't strike my name off yet;
You know the times are stringent,
And dollars are hard to get;
But tug little harder
Is what mean to do,
And scrape the dimes together,
Enough for me and you.
I can't afford to drop it;
find it doesn't pay
70 do without paper,
However others may.
hate to ask my neighbors
10 give me theirs on loan;
They don't just say but mean it,
Why don't you have your own!
You can't tell how we miss it,
If it, by any fate,
Should happen not to reach us,
Or comes little late:
Then all is in hubbub,
And eyerything's awry,
And, printer, if you're married
You know the reason why.
cannot do without it,
1t is no use,to try,
For other people take it,
| And, printer, so must |.
So must have my paper.
Cost what it may to me,
I'd rather dock my sugar,
And do without my tea.
So, printer, don't stop it,
Unless you want my frown,
For here's the years subscription,
And credit it RICH. down,
And send the paper promptly
Aud regularly on,
And let it bring US weekly

"A New York paper gives re-
markable instance Of the verdancy
of some young mothers. One up
there was one morning bathing the
baby for the first time, when the
grandmother in passing through the
room noticed that the water was
cold. Instead of adding warm VIA
ter The mother placed the bath tub
with the baby in it on a small ga'
stove and waited for further devel
opmeuts. The developments came
as soon as the bottom of the tub be-
gan 10 get extra warm. The off
spring gave one yell, when the fene
mother, grandmother and TWO ser
wants rushed to the rescue. In The
future grandmother will wash tht
baby, while The mother reads up OF
the cares of mother, and how Il
bring up children.

BADLY DRESSED WoHEN.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald gives the public about three
sticks full Of common sense infor-
nation, in which, in our Judgment
there is more sound advice than IN
a hundred pages Of the ordinary So
called fashion books:
The fattery that the American
woman has received about her dress
has ia. .en such hold on her very
soul that she now has the idea that
to be dressed on all occasions and on
any occasion ia any but the most
elaborate style is to work disaslerto
her reputation and danger to her So
cial position. | have sometimes
thought in England that the Eng
lish woman was the worst dressed
woman in the civilized world. Ire
member OH two occasions especially
when I came to this conclusion
once when l saw a blue dress with
a red flounce and once when ] saw q
waterproof trimmed with white lace.
But now give it unhesl,atlDgly as
my opinion that tue American wo-
man is the worst dressed woman in
the world, while there are 70 words
eloquent enough to express The I'M
fittingness of the American childs
dress, nor the mischief that such
dress works for the child. The de-
coration of the person has become
with US wild scramble. Women
piled all over with plush and velvet
and lace and silk, and set in dia-
monds, crowds the stores, justling
i each other like mad creatures. -
They get into cars, aud before they
have made ready their money for
their fare take an inventory OF the
dress of all other women. Daily in
public. conveyances they can be
heard discussing the ways aud
means of dress. In house Of wor
ship they dress as for The opera;
and one might imagine an elegant
New York church out pour on Sun
Sundays an outpoor from wedding
.ather than from the worship where
"miserable sinners had been plead
ing God 10 "be merclful."
The Gainesborough hat is but q
small part OF. the dress chapter. Il
may say en- passani that my own
daughters do not wear Gaiusbor-
ough hats. l can find something for
then much more hefiiting and dig
Z ni6ed for the street, while For the
1Dn1t>e,e>do wear
