DO YOU KNOW!

DO you know how babies emigrate
To this world of blight and bloom?
There's never boat in the heavens ahoat
Except the crescent moon.
Do they set sail in the new moons boat,
The sunset bars above,
With never sail but the sail called Hope,
And never all oar but Love?
Through seas of either the silver boat
Drifts on to this far off land;
But the baby is safe, for the mystic helm
Is grasped by an angels hand.

When Daniel Webster SAID
that New Hampshire was good
state-to emigrate from-he little
dreamed that his humorous rec
commentator would be taken so
literally by the future generation.
Large tracts of land in Maine,
Vermont and Massachusetts are
literally depopulated, and induce
ments are being held out to
Swedish colonists to settle upon
them at a nominal price.

John Howard.

John Howard, the father of ''prison re-

Burke: HE has visited all Europe, not
to survey the sumptuousness OF the palaces.
or the statelness of temples; not to make
accurate measurements of the remains of
ancient grandeur, nor to form scale of
curiosity of modern art; not to collect med
ais, or cOIlate manuscripts; but to dive into
the depths of dungeons: to plunge into the
infection of hospitals; to survey the man.

dimensions of misery. depression and con-
tempt; to remember the forgotten. to at

to compare and cOllate the dstresses of all
men in all countries. His plan is original,
and it is as full of genius as it is of human.

navigation of charity" But at the fOunda-

Howard believed in saving a man at any

OCTOBER THOUGHTS.

The maple does not shed its leaves
In one tempestuous. scarlet rain.
But lightly. when the soft wind grieves
Slow wandering over wood and plain.
One by one they waver through
The Indian summers hazy blue,
And rest at last on the forest mold,
Letters of ruby and burning gold.
Our death is gradual. like to these.
We die with every waning day;
There is no sigh of sorrows breeze.
But bears some heart leaf far away.
Up and. on to the vast ITO be-
Our lives are gong eternally.
Less of life than we had last year.
Flows in your veins and flows in mine,
But the way to heaven is growing clear.
And the gates of the city fairer shine.
On the day when our latest treasures fee.
Wide may they open for you and for me.
