At her call came Willie and Walter
With sweetly earnest air.
The sunshine, bright from the world of light
Cleaned in their golden hair,
And fragrant showers from spicy flowers
Stole IN TO greet them there.
She fitted them each to thimbIe,

And she showed the way most patiently
To draw il to aad fro.

The baby, bound by the droni7g sound,
Fell asleep on her knee.
Together she basted the pieces,
The somber and the gay,
From closet and press, from baby's dress,
Yellow and green and gray,
And the mother smiled at her boye beguiled;
For they thought twas only play.
Lovingly:over the pretty work
Their little fingers flew,
With stitches strong, though crooked and long,
And with pride they told of their baby bold
Who made one square OF blue.
Twas forty years ago, you know
Where can the children be?
The precious spread now covers my bed.
For Willie married me.
And Walter small, is large and tall
And he has babies three,

Chicago News.
Ny baby slept: how calm his rest
AS DER his handsome face smile
Like TO an angels fitted, while
He lay so still upon my breast,
My bsby slept: his baby head
Lay all unkiss i meath pail and shroud
did not wee o. cry aloud;
only wished l, -. were dead!
Ny baby sleeps: Tiny mound,
All covered h, lie little flowers,
WOOs me in ny waking hours,
Down in the quiet burying ground.
And when sleep seem to be
With baby in another land;
take his little baby hand,
he smiles and sings sweet songs to me,
Sleep on, o, baby, while keep
My vigils till this day be past
Then shall l, too, lie down at last
And with my darling baby sleep.

Halt at the milestones;
Deck them with flowers:
Irvine thought round them
Togladden the hours.
Then may the spaces
With sweetness be filed,
The thought growing broader,
The fragrance distilled.
Memory Will store them
To place on her shrine,
With hope for the future,
And Joy that's divine.
There, in life's autumn,
When pleasures are few.
Will lie the sweet garland
In waiting for you.

The New York Herald seems to enjoy
the joke of John Snerman's aspiring to the
presidency. Speaking Of the scene in the
convention when Sherman's portrait was
suddenly unveiled, the Heraid says:
At the convention yesterday an incident
occurred which shows that the republicans
have an eye to dramatic effect. Just as the
resolutions instruc.ing the delegates to
push the Senator's claims were passed
amid tremendous applause portrait OF
Sherman was unveiled The audience
gszed and yelled, and prOphetically guess
ed that-if Blaine keeps out of the way,
and Depew's little boom gets OPPORTUNITY
pricked, and Gresham and Allison can be
suppressed-they were looking upon the
picture of the man VINO would run against
Cleveland and-get most numerically
left
1t was not one of Diss DeBarr's portraits
though the suddenness with which it
was unveiled suggested spooks-but a
genuine affair, with the stern, grim face of
the Senator looking at the crowd as though
he would say, for Heavens sake. give me
a chance to save the country, and then the
republican party can keep on protecting
all sorts OF com bines, syndicates and mo-
nopoleS'
So the trumpets and fog horns and pen
ny whistles of the campaign are beginning
to fill the air.
And in November the democratic candi-
date will be elected.

In Tie American magazine for May,
William Eleroy Curtis will begin series
of illustrated articles on the Oldest of
American Cities.' The first paper will
deal largely with Carthagena, which was
the first city founded on the continent,
although several colonies had previously
been established on the nearby islands and
fortress had been built at Panama. The
city became the rendezvous of the Spanish
galleons that went to South America for
treasure, and consequently most tempting
field for pirates. Incidents in relation to
these, together with the descriptions of the
large churches, palaces and other build
ings, afford great scope for an article of
this character, and Mr. Curtis has taken full
advantage of the opp lrtunity
