MEASURE THE BABY.


We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall
A lily grew at the threshold
And the boy was just as tall;
royal tiger-lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And heart like jeweled challce
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the backbirds whirr
High mp in the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees,
And the wee pink fists of the baby
We're never moment still
Snatching at shine and shadow
That danced on the window sill.
His eyes were wide as blue bells,
HIS mouth like flower unblown-
Two little bare feet like funny white mice
Peeped out from his snowy gown:
And We thought with thrill of RAPTURE
That had yet touch of pain,
When June rolls round with her roses.
Wen measure the baby again.
ALI me! in darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut awayn
Through tears that fell like bitter rain.
We measured our baby to-day:
And the little bare feet that were dimpled
And sweet as a budding rose,
Lay side by side together,
In the hush of long repose.
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as The risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of heaven thereon;
And the dear little hands, like re Sc leaves
Dropped from the rose. lay still,
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded SILL
We measured the sleeping baby,
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below;
And out of the darkened chamber,
We went with a childless moan
To the height of the sinless angels
Our little one has grown.

the office of a Boston broker few days

"When ths day of delivery comes wheat
is worth only 81 per bushel. You, there
fore, clear 10 cents per bushel, or $4,000 ON
the transaction"
"Why, | see no sin in that"
HOf course not. You take the $1,000 ana
buy 100000 pounds of cotton at cents.
On the day Of delivery cotton is worth II
cents. You, therefore, clear another S3,OOO,
nav the mortgage on your farm, lend TO

call wicked?" exclaimed the good man as
he rose up. '.Wall. now, want to get 10
