Duct does not lead to its strange recess
For below the verteX above the pes,

The following selection abounds in tender
humor, and now and then a passage Of
more than transient beauty may be read:
WHEN BABY GOES TO SLEEP.
When Katie takes the baby, and the nodding little
Gives token that it's weary and would like to go to
An air Of death-like stiffness bout the house begins
And everybotdiy's silent when baby goes 10 sleep.
Sometimes I get so frightened that almost lose my
If chance to make bit of noise it scares me most
When from meath tiny eyebrow see halfway
From Big blue eyes, when baby has almost gone to
sleep.
And when at last twinkling of tiny smile ap-
On lips that angel kisses softly touch dreaming
give sigh of gladness, that is full Of thanks, and
That the world can once more move on, for baby :
gone to sleep.
This celebrated poem, concerning whose
authorship lengthy controversy has but
recently been settled is one of the best

Come. stack arms, men; pile on the nails:
stir up the campfire bright.
No growing if the eanteen fails.
Wen make roaring night
Here Shenandoah braWls along,
The lofty Blue Ridge echoes strong
To swell the brigades rousing song
OF s'StOnewall JacGson's way.
We see him now-the queer slouched hat
Cooked DER his eye assew:
The shrewd. dry smile; the speech 50 par,
50 calm, 50 blunt, 50 true.
SAYS he: That's Banks-he's fond of shell.
Lord save his soul Wen give him - Well
That's stonewall Jacksons way
silence Ground arms! Knen all, caps on,
Old msssa going to pray.
Attention its his way.

Amen That's Stonewalls way
Hes in the saddle now Fall i'm,

Hills at the fond. cut of Wei win
His way out ball and blade.

Among the many beautiful poems ii
Alice Cary this one i spoken Of a forn'os,
No les a critic than Edgar Allan Poe said
these deserved to be elassed with the finest
verses # our literature
ofaH The beautiful picturcs
That hang on memory wall
j. one af dim old forest
That ssselncih best Of all
Not for is gnaried oaks oltcn
Isark with the uilssletue
Not Cor the vinlcts golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for The milk white lilies
That lean froEu the ffagrant hesgc
go.4ustting all day with the s1niraztas-
And stealing their golden esige;
Not Cor the vines on The upland
Where the bright rel berries n'si.
Nor the pinks, nor the pale, sWeei eoAS4iiN
u seesneih To me the best
ouce had a little brother.
With eyes that weEe dark snd ,ievTs-
Ia the lap 81 that olden forest
He fefh In peace. aslteP:
Light Is the down 81 the thistle.
Free a. the winds shai blow
We royed there The beautlfni summer
The summers Of long ago
But his fret on the hills grew WeaTy
And enc Of the autumn eveE
made for my little brother
a bed ~ the yellow leaves
sueetly his pale arms folded
NJ neck IN a meek embrace,
As the light o. immortal beauty
silently covered his iace.
And when the arr0ws u sunset
Lodged IN the tree-toTe bright
lie fell In his Slintlike beauty.
Asleep BY the gates Of light
Therefore. of all The pictures
That hang on memorys wall
The one Of the dim old forest
Seemeih the best Of all
Ii Is NOT intended to turn from the
sublime to the ridiculous but in perusal
of this nature such coincidence may hap
pen. 10 truly as Alice Cary's verse; are
sublime. these following are ridiculous; vet
do not judge too hastily for there Is a
meaning all may know. beneath these
rhyming lines
Is il anybody's business
II a gentleman should choose
To wait upon a lady.
IT the lady don't refuse
Or-to speak little palmer,
That the meaning all may know
Is Il anybOdy's business
ifa lady has beau
II a person 5 ON the sidewalk.
whether great or whether small
Is il anybOdy's business
Where that person means 70 call
or. If you see person
As he's calling anywhere,
Is il any Of your business
What his business may he there
The substance Of our query.
