when our babe he goeth walking In hisgarden,
Around his tinkling feet the sunbcams play,
The posies they are good to him
And bow them as they should 20 him.
As fareth he upon his kingly way,
And birdlings of the wood to him
Make music, gentle music, all the day,
When our babe he goeth walking In his garden.
When our babe he goeth swinging in his cradle,
Then the night 1t looketh over sweetly down;
The little stars are kind to him.
The moon she hath mind to him
And layeth on his head o golden crown;
And singeth then the wind 10 him
A song, the gentle song of Bethlem town,
When our babe he goeth swinging in his cradle.

out of the district. The price of her
husband was 81 600.
Holmes became confidential serv-
ant in Col. Ssatou's household. His
wages were Se2 so month and cloth

credit to purchase his freedom. and IL
was doubled monthly by Sophia from
her earnings as laundress-
The pair had paid $500 when the war
broke out. Sophia's husband went as
body servant to Capt Burns, OF the
