Perhaps the most remarkable child that

actor, Henry West Betty, known as the
'1niant Roscius," the first OF a long line OF
dramatic prodigios. Betty was born in

age OF eleven saw Mrs. Siddons play Elrira

him so that he at once felt desire to go

/ LOVE TO LOVE A CHILD

love to love little child.
A love so Joyous, light and mild;
10 plighted vows;
No lover vows;
But hugs and kisses free as rain,
With no sharp pangs of after pain.
No circumspectIng plans to make;
IT'S simply love for loves own sake.
No killing smiles;
No cunning wiles;
And best Of all no broken hearts,
Nor dread that jealousy imparts.
love To love a little child,
Because its love is always styled
With artful deeds
love that needs
No social form to make il true;
A love that is forever new.
I love To love little child
That's beautiful and undecided
In mind and heart.
love not art;
A love the world holds not in awe;
natural love that knows no law.
love TO love little child.
For in its love sweet and wild,
think see
Love pure and free;
A love, alas! can not find
Among the grown of human kind.
l love to love little child,
Because its love so free. so wild, -
SO true and real,
Is an ideal
That's but a steppiug-stone above
To that one love long to love

Where the NOISY trees for ages had stood,

To the haunts OF men his course be bent
He few over roofs; down chimneys he peered,
Till festive scene al length he neared,
Where children merrily play at complete,
Snatchng the fruit from the blazing heat.
In anticipation his feast was begun,
His jaws he closed with a terrible one,
As he gazed on the children so plump and tender
At his mercy quite without a defender.
But fairy kind, watched over their play
With her magical wand she drove him away;
With sullen scowl be flow back 10 his tree,
Where in darkness and gloom his days two three.

the fair amount of new milk fed to a

account, the making of some fifteen
loads of fine manure during the month
may be an item that should not be
overlooked in balancing this silage ac-
count. Even if the net had only been
