4 LIFE.
Lying low in the cradle,


Lying low in the cradle,
Tender and sweet aud small,
Wondering at the pictures
Hung on the nursery wall.
Tumbling about the carpet,
Full of his baby glec,
Climbing over the doorstep,
Nothing so sweet as he.
Ambling along to the school house,
Playing at bat and ball,
Slyly kissing his sweetheart
Over the garden wall.
On the floor at the college,
Sporting golden chain,
Dreaming of balls and dinners,
Never a thought of pain.
Hurled in the scething vortex,
Battling for life aud right,
Watching his bright star rising,
Guiding him in the light,
Standing before the altar,
Love there holding sway,
Vowing to love and cherish
Ties that will bind for aye.
Watching beside death-bcd,
Praying for strength and grace,
Seeing the shadow fitting
Over the dear, white face.
Waiting for death to free him
From earthly scenes and stlife;
A marble slab in the church yard
Closes the drama, Life

A Divorce from a Dead Man.

A very peculiar case is reported from Paterson, N. J., where a woman desires to get divorce from dead man, or rather to get her marriage set aside. Her first husband enlisted in the war and was killed She married again, and at the death of her second husband she ascertained that her second marriage deprived her of the benefits of the law. Subsequently she learned that her sec ond marriage was bigamous, husband No, having wife living at the time or his marriage to her This marriage, she thinks, can be set aside as null and Void, and then she will be able to pro cure a widows pension.
