became hopeful once more. Still the re-

both sides. As the Sixth, with $50 for

WHY THE BABY CRIES.

The young bachelor who volun-
teered an opinion as to the reason
for a baby's smile, and the summary
justice which he received at the
hands Of the baby's nurse, r we'll
known, but why the baby cries is a
matter as to- which few men have
any curiosity, provided it is not too
lateNto have an engagement down
town when the concert begins. The
"Mother's Manual of Children's Dis
eases'fexplains the matter thus:
"Cries are the only language which
a young baby has to express it's dis
tress, as smiles and laughter and
merry antics tell without a word its
gladness. The}baby must be ill, is
all that its cries tell one person.;
another, who has seen much of sick
children, will gather from them more
and will be able to Judge whether
its, suffering is in the head, chest or
istomachj The cries Of h baby with
the stomach-ache are loud, long and
passionate ;fitAsheds q profusion of
tears; now stops for aAmoment. and
then begins again, drawing up its
legs toward its stomach; and, as
the pain@passess off, stretches@them
out again, and with MANY little sobs
passes off in d aqdiet Sleep. Ifit has
inflammation OF the chest it does
not cry aloud, it sheds no tears, but
every few minutes, especially after
drawing a deaper breath than before
or after each short, hacking cough,
it,giyes a little cry, which it checks,
apparently, before it is half finished
and this, either because it has no
breath to waste in cries, or because
theetfortmakes it's bpeathing more
painful. If the disease is going ON
in the head, the child utters sharp,
piercing shriekss and then between
whites a low moan or wall, or per-
haps no sound at all, but lies quiet,
apparently dozinggs till pain@wakes
it up~agaim. - 80

KISS THEM GOOD NIGHT.

The tales are told, the songs are sung,
The evening romp is over,
And up the nursery stairs they climb,
With little buzzing tongues that chime
Like bees among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Are flu l of crowding f%ancies;
From song and tale and make-believe
A wondrous web of dreams they weave
And airy child romances.
The starry night is fair without;
The new moon, rises slowly, .rr..tr
The nursery lamp is burning faint;
Each white-robed like a little saint,
Their prayers they murmur lowly.
Goodnight! The tired heads are still,
On pillows soft reposing,
The dim and dizzy mist of sleep
About their thoughts begin to creep,
Their drowsy eyes are closing.
Goodnight! While through the silent
air
The moonbeams pale are streaming,
They drift from daylight's noisy shore,
"Blow u the light and shut the door,
And leave them to their dreaming"
