LITTLE BOY BLUE.

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staneh he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket mOulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little Boy
Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now, don't you go till come" he said,
"And don't you make any noisei"
So. toddling of to his trundle-bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, an angle song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
All, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of a little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long years
through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.
Eugene Field.

A New Jersey woman was lately
convicted in the courts there of the
crime of being a common scold, but
an examination of her mental condi-
ton has revealed the fact that she is
not altogether responsible for her
conduct and sentence has been sus-
pended. In disposing of the case the
judge charitably observed that the
habit of constantly scolding usually
denotes nervous disease that more
or less affects the mind of the sufferer
and that both sexes are frequently
troubled with it.
