BABY HAS GONE TO SCHOOL.

The baby has gone to school, all mel
What will the mother d.
With never a call to button or PIN
Or tie little shoe?
How can she keep herself busy all day
With the little "hindering thing" away?
Another basket to fill with lunch,
Another good bye" to say,
And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby march away;
And turns with sigh that is half relief,
And half something akin to grief
She thinks of Il possible future morn,
When the children one by one
viii go from their home out into the world
To battle with life alone,
And not even the baby be left to cheer
The desolate home Of that future year.
She picks up garments here and there,
Thrown down in careless haste,
And tries to think how 1t would seem
If nothing were displaced.
If the hours were always as still as this,
How could she bear loneliness?

Tommy Bobbitt.

Mr.. Pritchard lifted him out of the
wagon and set him down on the door
steps. What a little fellow he was,
and what wondering, pleased look
there was in his eyes He had on
coarse shoes, a blue check apron, and
his pretty brown hair was cropped
close under the shabby cap. 1t was
almost too cold day for such little
boy to be without coat. Mrs.
Pritchard took him by the hand to
lead him in, and the little hand chung
coniidingly to hers.
"What's your name, dear?' she
asked pleasantly.
s'Tommy Bobbitt," he answered,
readily. Gam | going to stay here?"
"Folks all Dead" said Mr.. Prtch-
ard. "Mother went month or so
back. told them over to the coun-
ty-house we'd take him and try him;
and if he suited, we'd keep him, and
do well by him. We don't know
what kind of stock he is yet; and if
find any mean, dishonest things in
him, back he goes. We don't want
to adopt dishonest boy"
"Oh! / know Tommy will be q
nice little boy" said his wife kindly.
The Pritchards were farming people,
and well-to-do. They had never had
a child of their own, and, after much
consideration, had decided to adopt a
boy when suitable one could be
found. Word reached them that q
child four years old had recently been
left upon the town; and Mr.. Prtch-
ard, on driving over to see about it,
had brought the little fellow home on
trial.
Nobody knew how drcary and for
lorn it had been in the county-house
for little 4-year-old boy, suddenly
left friendless.
But now in his warm, new home,
he frightened into rosy, pretty boy.
He had new shoes and stockings, and
Mrs. Pritchard made him little coat,
with motherly instinct growing in
her heart with every stitch. He
learned the different rooms, and ran
about them fearlessly, he made funny
little speeches, he jumped and laughed
like other happy boys, and climbed
boldly on Farmer Pritchard's knee,
when that good man sat down to take
his ease after supper.
"He got meat in him." said he
nodding approvingly; "but | don't
know whether he's honest yet. That s
the thing on my mind"
Tommy had been there a week
had one week of sunshine-when the
black clou( came down on him,
