Lullaby.

RCdESE Ffuh

from GOOd HOustkttplR0.
Dear little girl, good night good night,
The pretty birds In their nests are still:
We watched the sun as he sank from sight,
over the tree tops on yonder hill.
Two stars have come since the darlight went,
Away over there In the sky's dark blue;
They must be angels that God has sent
To watch my baby the whole night through.
Dear little girl. good night, good night.
hear the frogs in the meadow call;
They croAk and croak, In the evening light,
Down In the pond by the old stone wall.
! think. perhaps, that they tell the flowers
Never 10 fear, though the world Is dark;
They know the nrriy lights the hours
All night long with his cheerful spark.
Dear little girl, good night. good night,
Dear little head with you silky hair.
Dear little form that | hold so tight,
Cosey AMI warm In the nursery chair
White lids are vrillng the eyes 50 clear,
over their blueness the frtnRes creep,
slower and slower ! rock you. dear,
My little girl Is asleep, asleep.

From Truth.
The tabled witch OF oiden time
was scrawny, cross, and old:
She wore a number seven boot
Most dreadful to behold.
Her nose bent down to meet her chin,
Which had an upward turn,
And III their sunken sockets deep
Her eyeballs seemed to burn.
B~efriending none except her cat,
In darkncs she abode;
And, when she wished to take the air,
A she bestrode.
The modern witch Il beautiful,
Mild tempered, young. and sweet:
A pair Of cunning oxford ties
Encnse her dainty feet.
Her nose Is lust rctrousse.
A dimple dents her chin;
Her eyes are limpid. magic pools
Where hearts keep falling In.
Surrounded by q loving throng,
In splendor she abides;
And on the lively boulevard
A wheel she deftly rides,
WALLACE ID. VINCENT.

From Hdrperis .Nonthiv.
Oh, the low. marshy meadow
Where pale wan plnks blow.
While round their feet the bramble vines
Irvine TO and fro.
And deep In dripping moss banks
white Niolets grow.
There dragon files are fitting
Allday on emerald wings,
And perched on noddiDg cattalla
The blackblrd pipes and swings,
And far and near amid the reeds
The droning locust sings.
Oh. the dry. stony hillside
Brown and bare and steep,
Where low across the lichens
Twisted ground pines creep,
Black-coat crickets leap.
Like a breath from heaven.
Pure and faint and rare.
All the scanty growing things
The thin earth can bear
Send their sweet smells upward
ON the quiverlng air.
My very feet are weary
With not walking there:
My lips are tired with praisInE
blossoms far less fair,
NY heart aches for the swamp land
And the hillside bare.

The Dead Babe.

From The chicago Record.
Last night. as my dear babe lay dead.
In agony fknclt and said
20 God! what have ! done,
or In what wise offended Thee,
That Thou Shouldn't take away from me
My little son:
rpon the thousand useless lives.
Upon the guilt that Wanting thrives,
Thy wrath were better spent,
VIII should'st Thou take my little son?
Why should'st Thou vent Thy wrath upon
This innOcent!'
Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
Before mine eyes the vision spread
or things that might have been;
~L.icentious riot, cruel strife.
Forgotten prayers. a wasted life
Dark red with sin!
Then, with soft music In the air.
! saw another vision there:
A Shepherd, In whose keep
A little lamb, my little child.
OF worldly wisdom Undecided,
Ia fast asleep!
Last nights as my dear babe lay dead,
In those two messages | read
A wisdom manifest:
And, though my arms he childleGs now,
/ am content. to Him I bow,
Who knoweth best.
