Before nv gaze they wither;
And when their perfume I'd extrat.

PRESIDENT HARRISON As A NURsE-FroE
his birth, little Benjamin Mckee has been
the special object of his grandparents love
and care. His first word was up up
directed to his grandfather, meaning that
he wanted to be carried. The little fellow
grew into quiet despot, refusing to b.
comforted or quieted by any other means,
When the family first entered the Whit
House last spring, the children suffered
from colds, contracted by reason of the
poor ventilation of the mansion Often,
ut night, in those trying times when the
President was deeply concerned by the
affairs of State just committed to his care,
he paced the floor of his room, with little
Benjamin IN his arms, soothing him to
quiet and sleep, when no one save grand
pa" could manage him with good success.

Early Songs.

Twas only yester morn
| heard a chickadee
Singing OF hopes new born,
So sweet, full of glee.
Alas. for hopeful ones.
To-day the fields all lie
Covered with cold white snow.
Beneath leaden sky.
All. little gleeful one.
You sang your song too soon.
The morn " hich dawned 80 bright,
Was darkened ere the noon.

The sky has changed It's hue,
The sea reflects the storm.

In those bright DAYS of spring,
But 10, too bright. not long,

And storms are past for aye.

penitentiary, was notified that he must re-
tract or die. He retracted as follows :
I'VE find that we were mistaken In our

efforts of his friends to have his sentence
commuted to Imprisonment for life failed,

Sayings Of Our Neig hbors,

hH~l RID c. NM~ FOR II JOHN HARBOH.
hclA-t Republican Journal.I
The approach To 81. John harbor is the
most difficult aud dangerous navigation on
the Atlantic coast. The swift currents OF
the Bay of Fuudy are bad enough of them
selves, but the thick fog~ which prevail
the greater part OF the year IN that region
double the difficulties and perls the naVi-
gator has to contend with Once in the
port Of st. John vessel living in the
stream must be moored Stem aud stern or
be swung around like u top with the 40
foot rise and fall Of the tides, " hllc tn,
difficulty attending the di>charging amt
receiving Of cargo need not be described
Vessels coming across the Atlantic can
make Portland harbor as quickly as St
John, with much safer navigation, and
better facilities for landing their cargoe~
on arrival. The claims Of the st. John
Telegraph are absurd

The widows mite reminds me of the re-
mark made by Jealous and consistent
christian man, that IF the widow had
lived to-day and tried to have contributed
her mite, she would have been elbomed
from the company and not allowed TO have
given her small offering" This i the
same idea that Elizabeth Stuart Phelps ad-
vances hen he says, 1t is an undecor-
aled fact that if Jesus Christ were to en-
ter almost any of our influential churches
TO-DAY, he would be shown into the back
gallery" Pity It's, It's true.
