mothers pet, little Jane,
Who was but four years old
With azure eyes DER rosy cheeks
And curls like skeins of gold;
One morning searched the pantry shelves
When mother was not by,
And took with dimpled hands from one
A nicely baked mince pie.
Then knife in hand upon the floor,
She cOolly took seat,
And gave the cat and kittens each
A piece of pie TO eat.
Her mother came-amaZsd, she said:
"Well here's pretty show ],
81 couldn't help it, MAJ" said Jane.
81 love the pussy So"
The girl .'ho couldn't help it grew
From feeding cats on pie
To be a girl of sweet sixteen,
Delighting every eye
And then to win her youthful heart
There went a suitOr bold,
She gave him both her heart and hand
Then she her mother told.
Her mother asked why did you thus
Your hand on him bestow p
"IcOuldn't help it, Ma" she said,
II couldn't help it, no.
80, nonsense, girl" exclaimed her ma,
'You made the same reply
When you were but little child,
And fed the cat on pie
81 know did, responded Jane,
"And will the reason show;
! fed the cat and married John,
Because loved them So"
Fair James excuse was very good
'Tis one that's made by all
Whose friends inquire, Why did you buy
Your clothes at Tower Hallp'
They say We bought them there because
We bought at prices low;
And. by a sense of duty led,
We couldn't help it-no.

Through Russia on Mustang" describes
visit to a convent cemetery in St Peters
burg. He writes: THE weirdest thing in
the cemetery was grave that is simply a
glass house, containing Il vault or cellar
with tIlpdoor and steps leading down
into it. The sister told us its story. After
twenty years of married life, during which
their prayers for offspring had been unan-
swered, a couple were finally presented
with a daughter in 1873 Three years later
the newcomer died.
The unhappy parents had the body en-
balmed and placed in coffin, with a glass
opening above the face. The tomb in ques-
ton was built and the coffin deposited in
the crypt. Every day for fourteen years
past the mother had visited the house de-
scended through the trap door and spent
some time looking into the face of the lit
tie one through the glass. No change had
taken place in its appearance
This last item WAS told US with ring of
honest pride in her voice as indicating the
peculiar fitness of the convent cemetery as
place of burial

Between her baby fingers; her soft hand

And laughed and prattled in her pride of blissI

On our own isle she raised joyous cry;
oh, yes! see it-Letty's home is therey'
And while she hid all England with kiss
Bright over Europe fell her golden hair.
