Rockaby, lullaby all the day long,
Down to the land of the lullaby song.
Baby land never again will De thine,

Land of q time ne'er again to be seen;

Rockaby Baby, thy cradle is green.
Rockaby Baby, thy mother will keep
Gentle watch over thine azure-eyed sleep,
Baby can't feel what the mother-heart knows,
ThrObUing its fear DER your quiet repose.
Mother heart kIows how Baby must fight
Whearily on through the fasI-coming night;
Battle unending,
Honor descending,
Baby must wage with the powers unseen.
Sleep, now, oh Baby dear,
God and thy Mother near;
RockaDy Baby, thy cradle is green.
Rockaby Baby, the days viii grow long;
Silent the voice of the mother-love song.
Bowed with sore burdens the MANTLE must own,
Sorrows that Baby must bear all alone.
Wonderland can never come back again;
Thought will come Oon-and with reason comes
pain.

Burglaries al Long Branch.

LOug Drancn special: Nearly every COT
tage along the shore tonight is a SIN all ST.
senal. The stores in the town where powder
aaj shot are sold did a good trade during
the day, while the male cottasers returned
from the city tonight well supplied with
ammunition. These warlike preparations
have been made in view of the many rob.
berries thst have been committed in this
nsighborhood since the opening of the sea.
sJn. Ne one can sleep in peace, becsuse he
fears that if he does sleep some enterorising
burglar will carry off his plate and j~ewelry.
The latest robbery reported occurred at the
cottage of Mr.. q. ~LHommedieu, at Ocean
vile, which was broken into this morning
and 1900 worth OF property carried eff. The
burglars carefully selected the solid silver
ware, and the pieces they suspected TO be
plated they tested By breaking. The dinils.
room floor was stIewn with plate thu
broken. Not SO bold as The burglars who
entered the r ch and Joseph cottages, they
did not enter the sleeping-rooms above,
where they might have secured more valu
able pluncer. Fair View, near Rid Bank,
was also The scene of another burglary last
night, the cottage of Dr.. Eugene Livinl ston,
Of the LIVERPOOL and L)pdon aud Globe In
surauce Company, being entered. The thieves
boldly placed a ladder against the window CT
the room where Mrs. L;viEg,ton slept, on
the second floor, and secured all the jewe'ry
which laid on the dressing case. among the
stolen ~srticl<s were . gold watch and hate
laine chain, two diamond rings and a pair
OF bracelets OF solid gold. The burglars
must have been alarmed st something, as
they could easily have entered The OH r
room. This makes six burglaries commit
ted in the vicinity of Long Branch and Red
Bank since Moeday night. The first vas the
residence OF County Auditor John {. Lui-
burrow, AT Eatoutown, where the thieves SEE
cured a quantity of jewelry and clothing, a
valuable stallion ami road wagon, and 3 new
SET OF silver-pIated harness. The next morn
ing the depot of The New Jersey Southern
railway was broken into and the safe
robbed of nearly 1900 in money
and a quantity Of railroad tickets.
Then followed the bufglariss of the COT
tags OF Mr.. Rich and Mr.. Jossphs, where
the thieves secured nearly 5000 in pluDder.
These daring Tobbsries have at lat aroused
the cottage residents, who attend TO provide
other protection han that afforded by the
