MOTHERS SONG.

-. J.
Sleep, Baby, sicepl
Fear not The night-birds call.
Nor itful shadows on the moonlit wall;
For angels still their watches keep.
And guard sweet Innocence's sleep
Sleep Baby, sleep
T..
rream, Baby. drcami
AS yet no shadows rise,
To mar the beauty OF thy dreamland skies
And angel-faces fair still seem
To shed their lustre on thy dream
Dream, Baby, dream!
III.
Rest, Baby, resti
While still some rest is found;
Before thy cradle is the silent ground;
Before thou hast no mothers breast.
NO angel-smiles to calm thy rest
Rest. Baby, rest

There was large aud fashionable
party at the Luttrers. And queen rose

Lillian Creighton.
So thought, though not precisely in
those words. for he read no verses with
the exception Of comic ones: Allen

Tivaled in magniiicence-a country. house

being, the part OF her slave.
Mr.. Incram " as small and ignoble in
person but his fortune was grand. His
eyes we're faded, but the diamonds that
awaited his bride we're bright. His
brain and voice were weak but his
family was strong. Only for n few
moments that evening did he leave the
enchantress, aud then it was TO seek the
supper room.
At that time Robert Lear left his scat
at the piano. Lilian's companions were
clustered together before picture at the
other end Of the room and she stood
alone and with his proud face all aglow
he sought her side and i'm n deep, rich
voice he said 'Blessed forever bc tho

danced IN my breast ever since ] read
these words:

It was verso from n valentine
violet scented valentine that he had re
ceived that day.
iian Creighton looked at him with
naughty surprise In her face, wrapped
her white satin cloak about her as though
she felt a sudden chill in the air and
turned away.
Back to his place-the place he was
paid TO occupy-tho young man went
while all the brightness faded from his
face and the beautiful dream that he had
been dreaming so long died out in utter
darkness.
"Could 7 have been mistakonY, he
murmured.
"Not about the valentine, said n low
sweet voice, and looking up ne met Kate

mot about tho valentine but about
everything else. What TO you has been
so serious, TO her has only counted as
one or her many romantic affairs The
reality of her life viii be Mr.. Allen Iu
gram or one very like him"
As she ceased speaking and turned
away, Robert Lear flung back the long
hair from his brow and striking with
firm, powerful touch some grand full
chords, burst into a triumphant march.
march that said TO 90 least two listen.

feared would be go deep, for feeble,

STRUCK A CHILD DOWN.
A Negro Assaults Little Year-and
a-EalfOld with a Rock

A Negro Assaults a Little Year-and-
a-HalfOld with a Rock.
What appears TO have been a most brutal
and vicious assault was made yesterday by
Sylvester Fletcher Ccllored on a child of
only is months. The child was at play on
the sidewalk in front of the residence of its
father, Thomas NJ. Hansen, the shipbuilder,
at Lincolnand Bryan streets, " en- Fletcher
came along with three pound bowlder in
his hand and struck the child on the head
with the missile. The child fell to the pave
ment paralyzed by the blow.
Mr.. John l.. Mcguire, a son-in-law of Mr.
Hansen, who witnessed the assault, rushed
out to apprehend Fletcher, when the latter
turned upon him with large knife. Ma
guire retreatet into the house 70 get his re-
volver and Fletcher took to his lie is. Mr.
Mcguire was soon out aud in hot pursuit. in
which Officer Hanley joined, and Fletcher
was overtaken near the Southern Express
office, on Bryan street, and lodged in the
barracks
Dr. Dunn was called in and treated the
little victim of the brutal blow, where life
may be endangered by the assault. If the
particulars had been known before the
prisoner was locked up it would have gone
hard with him, as the assault created the
widest excitement after it had been noised
about in the neighborhood where the out
rage was perpetrated

Savannah to Reach Down into Cen
trail America
". l. Rathbun of New York arrived in
the city a few days ago and has been en-
gagged ever since with the fruit steamer
Stamford, from Bluefeld. The Stamford
brought her usual cargo of bananas, cocoa
nuts and rubber. The rubber was shipped
through to New York; twelve cars were
loaded with bananas and cocOanuts for
Florida, South Carolina. the interior of
Georgia and several OF the western cities
The steamer sailed for Bluefeld yesterday
with fun cargo of merchant Sc, the most
of which is supplied by Savannah mer-
chants. There are 250 packages from New
York that go to Nicaragua by the STAN
ford. There will be a small passenger list
also.
I'VE do not propose to make the STAN
ford wholly fruit vessel, said Mr. Rath-
bun. 1--WE are going TO build up a trade
with Central America. In a short time
few years-we hope to have built up
trade with Nicaragua that Savannah will
be proud of. We have every reason to be-
lieve that We can do 1t. We bring fruit and
merchandise from Central America, and
our steamer will never be empty on her re
turn. Savannah can supply all the mer
chandise that we are able o. carry, and this
in itself will necessitate additional steam
ers, or increase in our lne.n
Mr. Rathbun said that he expects by
March to be running two stea ners to Blue
field, and he has every assurance of build
ing up good trade. What fruit he can
import here will find ready demand, and
soon the territory tributary 70 Savannah
Will begin to look here for its fruit supply.
