A Baby's Death.
From the Washington National Republican.

The little eyes that never knew
Light other than of uawnng skies,
What new life now lights up anew
The little eyes?
Who knows but on their sleep may rise
such light as never heaven let through
To tighten earth from Paradise
No storm, we know, may change the blue
Soft heaven that haply death describes
No tears, like these In ours, bedew
The little eyes.
Angel by name love called him, seeing 80 tair
The sweet, small frame
Meet to be called, II ever mans child were,
Angel by name.
ltose-bright and warm, from heavens own heart he
came,
And might not bear
The cloud that covers earth's wan face with shame
His little light OF life vas all too rare
And soft u name;
Heaven earned for him TIL angels hailed him ther,
Angel by name.

The following seems to BIO the only
explanation of the origin Of this saying;
A young student Of Naples, believing
himself dying, and fearing the news of
his death would break the heart of his
widowed mother, who loved him pas.
sionately, after much reflection adopted
tho following device; He wrote to his
mother, telling her that he was i'll, and
that n sooth.sayer had foretold that he
could not recover until he had worn n
shirt made by u woman who had no
trouble--in fact was perfectly happy and
contentel. The widow, in her simplicity,
thought that obtaining such II garment
was an easy task, but after inquiries
among her friends found that each
had secret care. At last she heard,
from several sources, OF n lady sur.
rounded by every comfort, and
possessing husband who seemed to
think of nothing but making her happy.
The old lady hastened to her and made
known her wish. The lady made no
reply, but took her visitor into an I'D
joining closet, where she was horror
struck at beholding skeleton suspended
from beam. "For twenty years have
been married." said tho lady; 81 wa
forced to marry my husband while Low
ing another. Shortly after my wedding
my former lover came TO bid me farewell
My husband surprised us together and
instantly stabbed him, whom he unjustly
suspected, to the heart. lie then causeo
the skeleton to be preserved, aud ever,
day he makes mo visit it," The widow
concluded that no ono was withou
trouble, and as her son had desired, SIN
became reconcled to his loss. Ever.
one has his troubles there is skeleton

A RELATED BUTTERFLY


lJohn wentworth's "reminiscences. y
Washington was in lS43 the greatest
slave mart in fine United States. Within
sight OF the Capitol, and not far from the
lower gate, and near, II not upon, the
land where the Public Garden now is,
was building with large yard around
il, inclosed with a high fence. Thither
slaves were brought from all the slave
holding regions, like cattle to the Chi.
cago stock yards, and locked up until
sold. There were regular auction days
for those not disposed of at private sale.
The Chicago fire destroyed a hard crack
or which had preserved as specimen
by which purchasers tested the age Of
slaves. And to this day, II there is any
thing that the average Southern negro
does not know, 1t is his own age. The
slaves were placed upon block, and
when question arose us to his age, tho
auctioneer requested them to bite from
a cracker which all the slave auctioneers
kept for such occasions. The theory
was that while slave could masticate
well he could work. Nearly all the labor
Of Washington was performed by slaves,
many OF whom were hired from the
neighboring States. The slaves were
expected TO collect their wages monthly
and take them home ON some Sunday
night. One morning missed my boots,
and when | went for the bootblack he
was missing also. After few days ]
saw procession Of captured slaves, who
had sought their liberty in n Potomac
schooner, chained two and two, con.
Quoted toward the slavepen; and there !
noticed my bootblack trudging along in
my boots. had made successful can
vass for Congress in those boots, but
they failed the slave in his canvass for
freedom.
