To an Absent Daughter.

W. A. Croffut in "a Midsummer Lark"
NV absent daughter, gentle, gentle maid,
Your life doth never fade!
o, everywhere see your blue eyes shine
And on my heart in healing or command,
I feel the pressure of yOur small. warm hand
That slipped a dawn almost without sign,
So softly out of mine.
The birds all sing OF YOU, my darling one;
Your day was just hegun,
But you had learned to love all thing that grew
And when linger by the srreamlet's side
Where weed and hush TO you were glorified,
The violet looks up as If it knew
And talks to me of you.
The lily dreams of you. The pensive rose
Reveals yOu where IL grows
In purple trance above the waterfalls:
The fragrant fern reJoces by the pond,
Setting your dear face In its feathery frOnd
The winds blow chill, but sounding over all
hear your sweet voice call
MY gentle daughter With us you have stayed
Your life doth never fadei
o, evermOre see your blue eyes shine,
In subtle moods cannot understand,
feel the futterlng of your tender hand
That slipped at dawn, almost without O sign,
So softly out OF mine.

Travelling Abroad.

Gath's New York Letter,
The steamship business is taking new di-
rections. and would not be at all surprised
one Of these days to find a regular line of
steamers from our ports running direct to
Gibraltar and the Suez canal, and through to
India. There are plenty of people in New
York who have already been to India, among
them ladies. | know one lady and her daugh-
ter who went two or three years ago from New
York to Glasgow direct, and were then tran
shipped to a steamer of the same line at
Liverpool, which took them to Gibraltar
Malta, and through the Suez canal to Bonn
bay. They returned to Egypt by the
same vessel, and then joined one of Jenkins's
excursion parties for the Holy Land, and
saw also Turkey, the Ionian Islands and
Greece The ladies then came through Italy
alone, and through France and Germany
and made the thorough tour of the British
Islands all alone. The same couple went
abroad few weeks ago, striking first for the
low countries and they are now taking the
sea passage along the Norwegian passage,
and expect to go to the North Cape, then to
Sweden, and thence to Russia, and next fall
pass through Poland and the south of Europe
TO the south of France and Spain, where
they will winter. They expect to spend
about SIS a day between them on this
journey.

Etude Realistic.
A baby's feet, like sea-shells pink,
Might tempt, should heaven see meet,
An angels lips to kiss, we think,
A baby's feet.
Like rose-hued sun-howers toward the heat,
They stretch and spread and wink
Their ten soft buds that part and meet.
No fower.bells that expand and shrink
Clean half so heavenly sweet
AS shine on lfe's untrodden brink
A baby's feet.
A baby's hands, like rOsebuds furled
Whence yet no leaf expands,
Ope If you touch, though close upcurled,
A baby's hands,
Then fast as warriors grip their brands
When battles bolt is hurled,
They close clenched hard like frightened bands
No rosebuds yet by dawn impearled
Match, even in loveliest lands,
The sweetest flowers in all the world
SsDy's hands,
A baby's eyes, ere speech begin,
Ere lip learn word or signs,
Bless all things bright enough to win
baby's eyes.
Love. while the sweet thing laughs ard lies,
And sleep flows our and IN,
Sees perfect in them Paradise,
Their glance might cast out pain aud sin,
Their speech make dumb the wise,
By mute glad gOdhead felt within
baby's eyes.

When I was dead my spirit turned
To seek the much-frequented house:
passed the door, and saw my friends
Feastlng beneath green orange hOughs.
From hand TO hand they pushed the wine;
They sucked the pulp OF plum and peach,
They sang, they Tested and they laughed,
For each was loved by each.
I listened to their honest shout;
Said one: Tomorrow we shall be
Flooding along the featurelese sands
And cOastiug milea and miles OF sea-"
Said one: Before tho turn of tide
We will achieve the eyrie seat"
Said one: Tomorrow shall be like
To-day but much more sweet"
Tomorrow! said they, strong with hope,
And dwelt upon the pleasant way.
Tomorrow cried they, one ana all,
Wnile no one spoke of yesterday.
Their life stood full of blessed noon.

Tomorrow and to-day, they cried;

The warm brown breast of mother earth;

The ragged frs, knee-deep in snow,
Stand shivering by the frozen lake;
In eddying gusts, that, moaning low,
Their msts of icy crystal shake
On drift-hid stream and thoroughfare,
And strew them in the wild beasts lair
And down the gorge and through the brake.
And here the monarch of the wood
With dropping antlers, piercing eye,
That tell of fear and want of food,
Hides where no living thing is nigh;
For in this deeply -drifted snow,
The proud beast can no farther go,
And he must rest or he must die.
But bark! his quick ears catch the sound
The stridIng hunters snow shoe makes.
He springs, but with each mighty bound
The treacherous crust beneath him breaks;
And plunging in his icy bath,
He RACES with despair and wrath,
His moist breath flying in frozen flakes.
He yields at length and lower and lower,
Sinks in his white torn shroud TO die,
Till from that stealthy tread once more
His startled muscles strive to fly,
But only culver to the blow,
The murderers coward thrust, and low;
Forjoy some hungry ha!fbreeds cry.

An Adder Story.


An amateur snakecharmer In the Yellow
stone region has twenty-nne adders that
think so much of him that they follow him
around like dogs. On wash-day each one
takes the tip of a companions tail in his
mouth, and they allow themselves to be
hung up on poles for clotheslines. In the
summer time they braid themselves into a
most ingenious hammock, in which the
snake-charmer lies and reads novels on the
front stoop.

RHYMES AND VERSES.
BY JAMES wHITCoMB RILEY.

To Benedict Friend.
Dear Man happy husband and rapturOus
father,
My heart bubbles over with joy
To hear, high above all my bachelor bother,
Ms Benedict friend has hoyi
Though to note your delight
In the rhymes that you write
Makes me envious in a degree,
am tickled clean through
That the babe, having you,
Has a far better father than me.
Then whoop and hoo-ray for both fathersand
motherl
And whoop and hoo-ray for the heir!
May the hearts of you all, shuffled up with each
other,
Yield ever this ace and pair
It's fortunate deal;
And whatever 1 feel
OF envy is lost in my JOY
Because you're its pa,
