THE EMPTY CRADLE.


The cradle is empty now,
For gold-haired baby MAY
No more in 1t is sleeping
Throughout the livclong day.
As we see II standing there,
In the dingy garret room,
, We think Of The laughing baby
As a white rose all in bloom.
And we think Of the painted TOYS,
And the lullaby refrain,
And the pearly dimplcd knucklcs,
And the tiny countcrpanc.
And the mellow soft blue eyes,
That twinklcd all the while,
And the little school Of dimplcs
That played about her smile.
The summer may come again,
With its clouds as white as Curds,
And Its silvcr-ilngered daisies
And Its song Of happy birds.
But what are the songs TO us.
And what is the clOudlcss day!
And the silvcr-ilngcrcd daisies
When we haven't our baby May!
Yet she hears all the summer birds
And thctrickets and katydids--
She's in Pawtucket, the mother
or a dozen blooming kids.

There seems to be au elopement mania
just now. Mr.. William Shryock, young
civil engineer, who boarded at the Amer
loan hotel, at Sing Sing. n. y, eloped
Wednesday with Miss Mary Adelaide
Schroeder, the pretty daughter of Dr..
Amanda Schroeder, one Of the leading
physicians in the town of Sing Sing. She
has recently been receiving the attentions
of Shryock, who has been located in that
locality.
He went to Sing Sing about three
months ago as protege of Colonel L. l..
Moore, an aqueduct engineer, aud boarded
with the colonel at the American hotel.
Among the young ladies who were wont
to sit on the hotel piazza in the warm
summer evenings were Miss Schroeder
with her school girl companions. There
they met Shryock, and Miss Sohroder was
not long in falling in love with him.
When her father heard of it he sum
moned the young man into his office, and
questioned him as to his intentions. The
young man protested against outside
interference, and said that in matters of
the heart they ought to be allowed to take
their time. He was devoted lover, and
called almost every day. On Tuesday
afternoon he came up with n spanking
bay team ana side bar buggy, aud asked
the young lady to take ride, inform ing
her that they would return in about two
hours. AS they started off Mrs. Schroeder
said in serio comic tone:
Now, don't go and do rs Miss Moro
sini did. We don't want any of that
business"
"Oh, no mother! You don't thiuk
would be guilty Of such thing as that,
do you ?" returned the daughter.
81 don't know" was the response !;
"the girls arc all losing their heads nova
days"
Noon came, night came, and no sign of
the young couple. The Schroeder family
became alarmed. They scarcely allowed
themselves to think OF the reason why
their daughter did not come home. About
s O'Clock, when DR.. Schroeder made up his
mind to send out an alarm for the missing
couple, they came in, and there was lively
time for few minutes, until Miss Schroeder
said
Father, am married"
After short, but warm discussion, the
bridegroom went to his hotel and lett the
bride at home, but Wednesday morning he
returned aud claimed her, and asked to be
allowed to remain there a few days until
he can make definite arrangements. When
asked why he had taken the step he did,
he said it was suggested by tie Yonkers
elopemeut. He and his wife thought they
would surprise the folks in the same way,
although they were neither coachman nor
heiress.
The Rev. Mr.. Silas Fitch, of Irvington,
said ''On Tuesday afternoon the young
couple came to my house, aud the young
man said he had come to be married. l
looked at them, and he quietly said L
am not coachman and this lady is no. a
millionaire's daughter could see that
they were of age, and then assuring me
that there was nos an elopement, married
them. Mr.. Shryock gave his age az 81
years and Miss Schroeder as "a. That ia
all know about it."
