BABY'S CLOTHES.
Softest linen and snowiest lawn,

Softest linen and snowiest lawn,
With fairy fiuting of lace:
'Broidery fine as the pencilled fern

While the garments grow.apace.

Her thoughts reach out across the years,
Losing herself in dream;
A hope is set with the stitches fine
OF every delicate seam.
An airy castle with turrets high
Stands in golden CLEAN.
All, the dearest work mother knows
Is making the baby's dainty clothes.
"Garments fit for king?" she saith;
"My baby shall be klngl
Wise men will listen unto his words,
And the children offerings bring.
He shall be manly, true and brave;
His deeds will the poets sing.
All, thu. proudest work mother knows

Folding away the garments white
The baby needs no more care
A toy, a tiny pair of shoes,
And lock Of sunny hair,
Yellow with are each fragrant fold
Small precious memories bear,
All, the saddest work mother knows
Is folding away the baby's clothes.
Those were worn by that stalwart man,

But the tn teTderest thought mother know

Washington, that their supporters
claim them TO be, they should have
at least gotten their share of the
spoils when the key of the treasury
was turned over to the boodlers Of the
Fifty-First Congress. But they
got nothing. Where were they?
Jones was in New York attending to
his private business a good share of
the time; Bartlne was absent from
the House as the record shows nearly
two thirds of the time during the
session; and Stewart was on the floor
of the Senate, when not occupied
with his duties as an attorney for
corporations, singing a silver song in

Why People Get Married.

Though it is very common to reproach
old bachelors with their drlicacy. and TO
pity old maids as if single blessrdnrss
were misfortune. yet many married
people have seen fit to offer apologies for
having entered into what some prnfane
wag has called the holy bonds Of pad
lock. One man says he got married to
get a house. keeper, another to grt rid
bad company.
Many women declare they got married
for the sake Of home; few acknowledge
that their motive was to gp a husband.
Goethe avprred that he got married in
order to be respectable. John Wilkes
said he tOok wife to please his friends.
Wycherly, who espouspd his housemaid,
said he did it to spite his relations.
A widow who married second hus-
and said she wanted somebody to con.
dole with her for the loss Of her first
Another becalls she thought wedding
would amuse her children. Another to
get rid Of incessant importun ty from
crowd Of suitors.
Old maids who get married Invariably
assure their friends that they thought
they could be more useful az wives than
as spinsters. Nevertheless QuiIp gives
it as his opinion that nine-tenths Of all
persons who marry, whether widows or
