Baby's Kiss.

For several evenings lately has one
simple incident given me such pleasure
that now regularly l lounge in some
convenient corner of my gallery that
may not miss it. Lolling back in my
comfortable chair, the fragrant smoke
of a'post-prandial cigar curling about
my head, listen in half dreamy state
to the tinkling bells of the passing cars.
Near me sits my wife, while on the
pavement close at hand romp my little
ones in all the vigor of childish glee. A
sense of contented quiet, with which the
laughing shouts of the children are in
perfect accord, has entire possession of
me; the atmosphere about grows grayer
with the aging day, the sun makes one
last effort to. live beyond its hour, the
evening breezes go whispering through
the foliage of the adjacent trees, and
nature itself seems about to rest.
And then there comes to the corner
of the street a young woman, carrying
in her arms little babe, scarce old
enough TO say its one first word. There
they wait, this mother and her child;
wait till one certain ear is sighted on its
way up the street. The mother must
then involuntarily press her little one
closer to her, for baby brightens up as
though it knows papa is near. Pres
emily the car is there at stand-still;
the driver reaches over the dashboard,
takes the little one from the woman 8
outstretched arms, kisses once or twice
the roguish mouth, and then hands
baby back again.

engers--it has never been empty-and
though some of the occupants may at

excuses the momentary delay. Away
into the distance beyond passes the
woman with the child, but the pretty
picture hangs about the place for many
a moment after.
It's a trifing, simple thing; but
hasten every evening to my accustomed
