THE COMING MAN.

A pair Of ve-y chubby legs
Encased in scarlet hose;
A pair of little stubby boots
With rather doubtful toes;
A little kilt. little coat,
Cut as mother can
And 10! before US stands in state
The futures coming man.
His eyes, pcrchance, will read the stars
And search their unknown ways;
Perchance the human heart and soul
VIII open to their gaze;
Perchance their keen and flashing glance
Will be nations light
Those eyes that now are wistful bent
On some "big fellows kite.
Those hands-those busy little hands
So sticky, small and brown;
Those hands whose only mission seems
To pull all order down
Who knows what hidden strength may be
Secreted in their clasp,
Though now it's but tafiy stick
In sturdy hold they grasp!
All! blessings on those little hands,
Whose work is yet undone!
And blessings on those little feet
Whose race is yet unrun.
And blessings on the little brain
That has not learned to plan!
Whate'er the future holds in store,
God bless the coming man."
