Measuring the Baby.

Emma Alice Browne, the author of the fol
lowing poem died Feb. 6, aged "a years. Sh
was born at Reading, Pa. This popular poem
originally appeared in the New York Ledger:
We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall;
lily grew near the Tires 1old,
And the boy was just as tall
royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And the heart jeweled chalice
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the bluebirds whistled;
High up in the oil d roof trees
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never moment still,
Reaching at the shine and shadow
That danced on the window sill. -
His eyes were wide as bluebells,
His mouth like flower unbown:
Two little bare feet, like funny white MICE
Peeped out rom his snowy gown;
And we thought with thrill of rapture,
That yet had touch of pain,
When June rolls around with her roses,
Wen measure the boy again.
All. me! In a darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like a otter rain,
We measured the boy to-day:
And the little bare feet that were dimpled
And sweet as budding rose
Lay side by side together
In the hush Of long repose.
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of heaven thereon:
And the dear little hands. like rose leaves
Dropped from rose, lay still,
Never to catch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby,
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited for him below,
And out of the darkened chamber
We went with a childless moon:
To the hight of. the sinless angels
Our little one had grown

Senator Dolph's smelling committee, II
that is trying to ind out who gives away
the secrets of the executive sessions of the
Senate. isn't meeting with much success.
The olfactory nerves of its members seem
to be paralyzed in a matter of that kind,
but they can smell salmon dinner half a
block; and when Senator Dolph himself was
giving a dinner Of that kind the other day.
the sergeant-at-arms, who came to call the
grave senators to the secret session, was told
to get out, and he got. The natural deduc-
ton is that the senators think that one 80
pound salmon on the table is worth dozen
secrets in the bush.

Democratic Ahsentees.

The democratic congressman who were
absent from their posts OF duty when the
vote was taken by which Mr. Cate of Ar
kansas was unfairly deprived of his seat,
AID who were not paired, will probably wish
they had given the proper attention to their
duties before they hear the last of the mat
ter. Particular attention has been called
to their inexcusable absence, because had
they been present Mr.. Cate would not
have been unseated. The official rec
ord Of the House shows that on the
occasion referred to nineteen democrats
failed to vote. The reason they did not, is
not, of course. given in the Congressional
Record. but from other sources it is found
that four of them were seriously ILL., The
following were absent without being paired :
Messrs. Campbell, Clancy, Stahlnecker,
Mccarthy, and Wiley of New York, Allen
of Mississippi, Enloe of Tennessee, Biggs of
California, and Ssney of Ohio. Messrs
Cothran and Dargan of South Carolina
were absent, and by some it is said
they were not paired, but Mr.. Elliott of
South Carolina thinks they were. The cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun says that
Messrs. Spinola and Dunphy, of New York,
Lester. of Virginia, and Skinner, of North
Carolina, were paired, but other CORE
spondents say that they were not. These
gentlemen will no doubt hasten to make the
fact known if they were paired. 1t is
gratifying to note that all of the Georgia
and Florida members were in their seats,
and that they voted upon every motion.
The constituents of those democratic
members who were absent without excuse
should have something to say to them when
the time comes for nominating their success
sors. The democrats have suffered con-
siderably by absenteeism at the present
session of congress, and there is some indi-
cation that the members will be given to
understand that they must either attend to
their business, or make way for people who
will.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew continues to in
dulge in SMILES in speaking of Chicago. He
said the other day; "Chicago is like cow
standing due east and west with her fore
legs in Chicago and her hind legs in Boston.
She feeds in the west, but Boston milks her,
and it is only appropriate that those who
derive great sums of money from invest
ments in Chicago mortgages shall pay some
thing to get the fair there" Chicago has
frequently been likened pictoriallY to hog,
but this is probably the first time she was
lkened to COW. There is something ap-
propriate about it, however, as the people
who eat Chicago beef will admit.

Pleasant Antioipations Of Little Folk

Pleasant Anticipations Of Little Folks
Turned GO Bitterness.
Animals must frequently be surprised
at receiving punishment "for their
good" when they are innocent Of inten-
tional wrong doing. Puss, in her kitten
days, steals a bit of tempting fish from
the table, and has her ears boxed. She
is wiser cat from that time, as we'll as
. sadder one at the moment. One can
imagine her retresting to the woodshed
to think it over after the blow has
fallen. Perhaps she bewails her sad
fate and exclaims against its cruelty,
says the Youth Companion, as we all
do when we have sinned through ignor-
ance, and not escaped the penalty.
"Oh, what homely picture!' cried q
aunt for the first time. 81 am sorry you
think so, said that lady, frigidly. THAT
Is my own portrait, painted when was
sixteen"
"But why need she have embittered
my visit by telling me SOL" exclaimed
the offender, long years after. II was
punished as much as II had wished to
to be rude"
A little boy who did not know what 1t
was to feel the effects of poison ivy, one
day carried an armful Of its autumn
tinted leaves to his teacher and laid
them on her desk as pleasant surprise.
That morning she came late to school,
and approached her chair just as the
head-master had finished conducting
devotions. She glanced at the Offering
on her desk, started back, and put her
handkerchief to her face.
"Who brought this?' she called, with
emphasis.
The little boy rose, proud of receiving
public thanks.
"Takc it away at once" was the per-
emptory command. "Thc smell, the
very sight of it poisons me-"
Poor Johnnie, very much depressed,
gathered it in his arms, and deposited it
in the waste-basket.
"Not there" said the teacher, "the
janitor might touch it. Go down and
put it in the furnace"
Then Johnnie, amid the filters of his
fellows, took his embarrassed way out of
the room. All his pleasant anticipations
had been turned to bitterness by the
mortifying fact that he had done the
wrong thing.
Perhaps the most simply innocent of
all rejoindcrs from such unwilling cul-
prits, was one made by little Kitty Lee.
One day she was found in the pantry,
seated on the floor, and holding custard
pie in her lap. Alas! it had once been q
pie, but now nothing was left but the
crust. Kitty looked up, her lips smeared
with custard, and smiled serenely upon
her discoverer.
