ROSE KINGSLEY.

On what used to be the altar step Of the
north aisle stands a baby's cradle-a cradle
on real rockers. A gorgeous coverlet, all
trimmed with qupure lace, falls from the
corners Of the cradle in splendid rich
folds. The arms OF England, Scotland and
Ireland are carved onthe back, And when
you look under the head ofthe cradle you see
that baby lies sleeping in it. A darling
tiny baby it is-its little wee face set in a
close lace cap and lace ruff, under kind
Of lace trimmed hood that forms part of
the pillow. You can almost fancy that if
the cradle were set rocking the baby might
open her eyes. But baby and cradle and

Too Little.
CLARA LOUISA BURNHAM.

The chair was hardly high enough,
Her head came just above the table;
Her little fist a pencil grasped
And scrubbed fast as it was able.
I'm writing stories,o she exclaimed,
And down the busy head bent lower !;
"Ah, read one to me, dear" I begged,
And then the dimpled hand moved
slower.
40, Auntie"- the baby face
Drew back; then, swift the blue eyes
lighting;
I'd love to, only I'm 50 small
I don't know how to read my writing"

Charlie
"Well, anyhow, l sha'n't touch them, J"
VIII persisted.
"Then sha'n't," said Charlie, firmly.
"You eat 'em both, Penn; you need 'em,
and it's little enough"
But Penn wouldn't, and so the two
doughnuts lay untouched in Wits pocket,
though nobody but themselves knew how
hunger was gnawing at those cold stomachs.

The great fragments, which rested firmly on
each other, now that they had frozen
together.
Then Penn was snatched to his fathers
heart, and Will and Charlie were carefully
helped down by loving hands into the boat
far below them. They were pale from
hunger, fright, and cold, but their young
hearts were very brave.
Up, up the stream, far above the village
rowed the boatmen with steady strokes
till they were out of Libby's Lake, and till
the masses of ice-now held in place by
the thin crust which had formed since the
wind changed, and liable to bear right
down upon them if too suddenly liberated
grew infrequent. But there were plenty
of lanterns, and prudent man at the rud-
der, and little by little they worked their
way slowly over to the village shore, where
warm sleighs were waiting to receive
them.
The mothers cried, and poured warm
tea down the boys Threats, and the whole
village population waited in the streets to
hear all about how the boys came to get
caught SO, and how they had stood it. The
next morning, all Of them being assembled
at Will BARRIERS house, VIII drew out
from his overcoat pocket two rather dry
doughnuts.
"Why, did you have these?' cried his
mother. 'Why didn't you eat them p
"We-we couldn't agree" stammered
VIII.
"You see" put in Charlie, "Pem needed
them the most, but he wouldn't eat them"
II didn't" said Penn, stoutly. II didn't
need them any more than the others"
"You darlings!" cried their mothers,
bursting into fond tears, and hugging their
big boys, who yielded little unwiIlingly
to their caresses before so many of the
neighbors; and Mrs. Barber added, "Pm
going to preserve those two doughnuts as
long as I lve-in sugar and spice and
everything nice" And she did.

One is certain to be suppressed, namely,
that declaring that he (Gordon) knew that
VI th so much treachery about him, if he at
tempted to leave Khartoum he and all his
followers would certainly be murdered. On
the very day this dispatch was received Mr..
Gladstone stated in the House that Gordon

do so.
Among the ships lying in "rotteu row. at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard is the dismantled
frieate Colorado, says the New York
Tribune. When she was built she was con-
sidered the finest piece of naval architecture
and the most formidable man-of war afioat.
She was sent out to the China station, with
picked crew and set of officers selected for
their wealth and good breeding. She was
the pride Of the American squadron in the
China seas, and filled the fleets of other ma
tions with admiration aud envy. From
Corea to Singapore she was known as ''la
belle frigate." But that was years and
years ago. Now her glory is departed; she
is a ruined hulk, and the government can't
even sell her for old timber.

Later reports from the battle near Suakim
indicate that the early dispatches were alto
gether too previous in claiming victory for
the English forces. The most that can be
said is that they escaped defeat. They were
able to hold their own, and that is ALL The
Indian troops appear not to have behaved
very well, and it was with a good deal of
difficulty they were kept from beating hasty
retreat from the field. Csman Digna's tao
tics have improved good deal since last he
encountered Gen. Graham's forces, and his
intention evidently is to avoid giving the
English battle in the open field. The COM
ments of the London press indicate clearly
that Graham's encounter has done very little
to lift the gloom that has settled down over
the English mind in regard to matters 10 the

Mayor Deering's InauouraI.

In concluding his inaugural address May.
or Deering expresses the hope that the mem
bers of the city government will 'ignore
partisanship and at all times subordinate
their political predictions to the pubic
good" This is good counsel and we hope
the mayor himself will see to it that he prac-
tices what he breaches. He is at the head
OF the government and it is conspicuously
bis duty to set good example in this re-
spect There is reason to believe that in the
past Mayor Deering has not always subordi-
mated his political predictions to the public
good. 1t is to be hoped that he will give no
occasion for fault finding on this account in
the future.
The Mayors suggestions are as a rule ju-
dicions. A reasonable appropriation for the
National Encampment will undoubtedly
meet the hearty approval Of the great major
ity of our citizens. So probably will the sug-
gestion to devote the spot now occupied by
the Old City Hall to soldiers monument.
The widening of Centre street will no
doubt greatly convenience the public. No
body will take exception to the mayors dec
laratlon that the city building should be
kept clean, and no doubt everybody is ia ia
vor of beautifying Deering Park as rapidly
as the city can afford to do so. The mayors
