COMPLIMENTARY POETRY.

The Baby Feet That Never Came.
In the autumn's cheerlcss night,
While the wild wind croons without
And the flicker Of the fire
Leaps and dies as my desire
Breasts the barriers of its doubts,
can hear the patter, patter,
Ills a phantasy-what matter
OF the baby feet that never camel
Those rosy lips that linger in a kiss
The rounded cheeks that nestles close to
The eyes of blue that know no doubt,
That shuts us in-the world shut out
The soft white arms that wreathe and
Irvine
And under all the bitter rod
Shall hold me fast to faith in God
Are but the eel of the feet that never
came.
lis thus in autumn's chill and summers
In midnight stiffness or in ~throbbino
street
l hear mid silence or above the throna
The echoing rhythm of the song
And benediction of the baby's feet;
What matter else afar or near
In the untotalled sum / hear
The patter Of the feet that never came IL
best!
Oh, baby of my dreams, thy dimpled cheek
And lip and eye and silken tress
And all the attributes Of heart
Are but reflection of some part
Or her who IL the bride of DEATH
And yet through very thought Of thee
look beyond Gethsemane
To where she walks who loved me tenderly.
H. ;. Kneedler.

mand Some Reforms.
LONDON, Nov. 7.-As n result OF the
recent investigation into the sanitary
condition of the balSchouses of the me-
tropolis, a committee of prominent cit
liens has submitted to the London
county council IA petition asking for a
number of amendments TO the public
health act as relating to baking estab-
lishnents. The resolutions suggest
that uniform metropolitan laws regu-
lating bakeries be made by the
London county council, and that
the duty of enforcing these laws
shall devolve upon tho various local
sanitary authorities; hat such laws
shall govern the regulation of the con-
duct of the business, the structure OF
the premises, and the mode in which
application is to be made for sanction
to establish new bakeries in the city of
London; hal il be rendered an offense
to occupy as "a balsehouse any cellar or
place almost or altogether below the
level OF the street; that all metropolis
tan bakehouses be regularly licensed
and that the granting of the licenses
be vested in the London county coun-
ell. 1t is thought that the adoption OF
these measures would prove of untold
benefit to the community, especially
among the poorer classes.

The Voices.

Down In the night | heard them:
The voices, unknown, unguessed,
That whisper and lisp and murmur,
And will not let me rest.
Voices that seem 10 question,
In unknown words, of me,
or fabulous ventures, and hopes anC
OF this and the world to be.
Voices of mirth and music,
As In sumptuous homes, and sounds
OF mourning, ~ of gathering friends
In country burial grounds.
Cadence OF maiden voices,
Their lovers blent with these.
And of little children singing,
AS under orchard trees,
And often. up from the chaos
OF my deepest dreams, ] hear
Sounds of their phantom laughter,
Filling the atmosphere.
They call to me from the darkness,
They cry 10 me from the gloom,
Till / start sometimes from my pillow
And peer through the haunted room,
When the face of the moon at the window
Wears "A pallor like my own,
And seems To be listening with me
To the low, mysterious tone,
The low, mysterious clamor
OF voices, that seem to be
Striving in vain to whisper
or secret things to me;
OF something dread to he warned Of;
OF a rapture yet withheld;
Or hints Of the marvellous beauty
OF songs ~unsyllabled.
But ever and ever the meaning
Ealters and fails and dies,
Anl. only the silence quayers
And ! answer: Oh voices. We may not
Make me to understand,
Till my WI voice mingling with you,
Laughs IA the Shadowland.
