THE LITTLE FOLKS.
A Little Ones Prayer.

Up the flight of stairs there clambereS
A little child to find repose,
And as she knelt at the bedside
humble prayer TO her God arose
@Dear Jesus, up there, beyond the stars,
Please keep us safe from harm to-nighss,
Bless ma. and help her. save her life,
For pa has gone where all is light.
"Poor ma must work so very hard
To keep us children clothed and fe0,-
And times are hard, and money scarce.
Since the day dear papa's dead.
@But now she's sick and nigh to DEATH
Thus nearing that beautiful golden shoxgo
Where trials and troubles never come
And all is JOY and peace forevermore.-
$50 if she leaves us in the night
TO wing her flight to heaven aboves.
May her spirit upon us ever breathe
That feeling of Gods blessed love.
"But if it pIeases thee, o, God
To leave her with US for awhile,
I'll do my very best to always be
Thine, and my mothers faithful child
The stars dad faded out of sight
As she from her vigil sought repose,
But while she calmly, sweetly slept,
Gods hand had eased her ma from Voc
That little heart, so warm with love,
Was pierced with terror and dismay,
When she beheld the mothers form
So cold IN death--a form of clay.
She simply bowed her tiny head
To what seemed a cruel blow,
Then gazing upward toward-the sky
She said " Ills best; God tells me So
She knelt again in silent prayer,
Though tears coursed down her cheeks,
And then she learned the lesson true,
God comforts those who weep.

siderable length with the sub ect of
assertions, which, he says, are now the
greatest evil connection with the army.
He attaches no Importance to the allie
cations of ill-treatment of the men by
their officers or to the complaint
that they are compelled to do too much
manual labor, but suggests that remedy
for the evil may lie found in change of
the method of recruiting the army. He
thinks the recruits should be drawn from
a class of men whose family connections
and local associations are known; that the
term of enlistment should be shortened and
that soldier should, after reasonable
time, be allowed to sever connection
with the military service by payment of
the amount which his enlistment aud sar-
vice had cost the government
