SINCE BABY WENT TO SLEEP.

I cannot move my lips to pray,
Since baby went to sleep to-day.
Not in her downy cradle nest
With rosy cheek to pillow pressed,
While soft her tender breathings lift
The coverlet of pinken drift,
But to a couch of chilling gloom,
The sunlight banished from the room.
Saviour: / cannot, cannot pray,
Since baby went to sleep to-day.
She will not waken, though we weep;
Her slumber Is too still and deep,
Nor tears nor kisses cannot warm
Our precious baby's sleeping form.
Christ: help me though cannot pray
Since baby went to sleep to-day.
Those hands that would not let me weh
"A blossom at my throat or hair.
But pulled It's petals Of to see
Why sweetness In flower should be.
Warm, restless hands: now waxen cold
Clasped round the lily buds they hold.
Che will not stir them In this sleep
To disarrange the trust they keep.
Christ: help my breaking heart to pray
Though baby went to sleep to-day.
Drawn on her white feet, side by side.
The yellow shoes with ribbons tied;
She never will unite again
To find their hidden treasures ten.
Dear Christ: my heart can only pray
Let her awake with thee to-day.
Good Housekeeping.

Then and Now.

The word '*omboy," now applied to
a rude young woman. formerly meant
q rude young man or boy. Furlone
was at first furrow long. or the dis
tance that pair of oxen would plow
In half an hour Shrewd once signi-
fled evil OF wicked. Thomas Fuller
used the expression "a shrewd fellow"
meaning a wicked man. The word
!'hOyden," now applied exclusively to
n noisy young woman. formerly denot-
ed a person of like character, but Of
either sex. Equivocaion. q word now
applied TO any evasion, WAS once un-
derstood To mean the calling Of diverse
things by the same name Peck orig
inally meant n basket or receptacle for
grain or other substances. The express
sion at first had no reference to size
To starve was once to die any manner
of death. Wycllffes sermons tell how
"Christ starved on the cross for the
redemption OF men" Bombast once
signiied the cotton that was employed
to stuff garments, particularly the
enormous trunk hose worn In the four
teenth and fifteenth centuries. Acre
once meant any field. 1t is still used
with this significance in allusion to q
burial ground.

''Bri9ahdage IL still rampant In many
rural districts in Italy" says DR.. Raw
ogli, the resident Italian consul.
''From advices / receive occasion

and q letter from q friend IN Trieste
contains a reference to Tfburzi. one Of
the most picturesque Of these freeboot-
ers. Tiburzi is about 4S. At the begin
ming Of his career he was as bad A.
others in the same vocation Of life.
I'm 1872 he was caught, convicted of
highway robbery and murder, and SEN
fenced to imprisonment for life. He
escaped In 1874 and took refuge In q
wood near Viterbo, where he lived in
security in spite Of seventeen warrants
and a large reward for his arrest. The
reason Of this security is simple
enough. He was good to the poor
any peasant In need Of help could al
ways get a gold coin from Tiburzi-
and he punished traitors. Consequent
" the peasants were ready to assist
him against the police or government
emissaries, and those who would will
ingly have given Information were
afraid to DO so.
"After his escape TiburM altered his
method Of gaining living. He caused
Il to be made known to all the well-to-
do people in the district that II they
paid him an annual contribution he
would not interfere with them and
would protect them from molestation
by others. 1t was considered advts-
able to agree and Tiburzi has been for
years in receipt Of large income. one
man alone paying him f15O Q year.
Crime has considerably diminished In
tho district; the smaller fry dare not
molest Tiburzi's proteges, for he is
still a good shot with his English re-
peating rife Tiburzi does what the
government cannot do: he collects
taxes without trouble and he keeps
down crime.
1T must not be supposed that he
hides in the woods all day. He can
walk about the whole district without
fear Of capture and he lives In good
style. He goes to Rome sometimes,
presumably in disguise, and has even
been abroad. WIN he ever be arrested

little sapoho being used il they are very
dirty. One way of cleaning them is TO

the tray well over with this, carefully
going over any stains till removed.
and then rinsing and letting 1t dry.
