THE GAIN OF LOSS.

We followed the bed for our darling's rest
Ana lined it with roses white and red.
And the sod above 1t We softly pressed.
Sleep WELL" through our gathering tearA
we said.
Bat. oh! the desoiste hours we spent
La the silent home from which baby went
We missed the patter Of little feet
And the broken music OF baby talk;
We were lost for the cares that had been %
sweet
When the fearless laddie began to walk,
And scarce could feel that another Hand
Was guiding HIM now in the better land
The lonely days, and the lonely nights;
Had they ever gain our fond hearts knewf
All, yes! for Oft from the Heavenly heights.
Came echoes floating our darkness through;
And the land beyond grew near and bright
Where our beautiful baby lived in light
And our lives were touched BY . holier grace,
And each to each was bound the more,
For the dream in our souls Of . little face,
Waiting for US on the farther shore;
Aud day by day we heard the chime
OF bells beyond this passing time.
There cafne to us, too. from the baby's grave
A tender thought for those who weep.
And our han1s we're swifter to bless and save
Our hearts in yearninG love were kept;
We were fain to cure each bitter ache,
Or ease its smart for baby's sake.
And SO we have learned to count the gain.
Where once We counted alone the loss;
And SO, through the bi:ter-sweet of pam,
Have found the blessing within the cross.
THANK God,' we cry with reverent breath,
-.For the life that is Quickened but through
deathr'

A POPULAR PHRASE.

History Of tho Origin Of tho Expression
by Hook or by Crook"
The destruction caused by the FIRE
of London, A. D. 1866, during which
some thirteen thousand two hundred
houses, ETC., were burnt down, in
very many cases obliterated all the
boundary-marks requisite to de-
termine the extent of land, and even
the very sites occupied by buildings
previous to this terrible visitation.
When the rubbish was removed and
the land cleared, the disputes and en-
tangled claims of those whose houses
had been destroyed. both as to the po-
sition and extent of their property,
promised not only interminable occu-
patton to the courts of law, but made
the far more serious evil of delaying
the rebuilding of the city, until these
disputes were settled. inevitable. I'm
PEELED by the necessity of coming to a
more speedy settlement of their re.
spective claims than could be hoped
for from legal process, it was de-
termined that the claims and interests
of all persons concerned should be re-
ferred to the judgment and decision of
two of the most experienced land-sur-
veyors of that day-men who had
been thoroughly acquainted with Lon
don previous to the fire; and, in order
to escape from the numerous and vast
evils which mere delay must occasion,
that the decision of these two arbi.
traitors should be final and binding.
The surveyors appointed to determine
the rights of the various claimants
were Mr.. Hook and Mr.. Crook, who,
by the justice of their decisions, gave
general satisfaction to the interested
parties, and by their speedy determin-
alton Of the different claims permitted
the rebuilding Of the city to proceed
without the least delay. Hence arose |
the saying. by Hook or by Crook"
