ROMPING BABY DID IT.

Why is my hair strung up in knots?
You never could have guessed it;
Look at my shirt-d'you see those
spots?
There baby's fingers pressed it,
Twas she who rumpled up my hair
Wat father could forbid It?
His friends will only smile nor care
If romping baby did it.
Perhaps | wish to leave the house
All heaped up in a corner

Like erstwhile Jackie Horner:
Then papa says: "Where is my hat?
Il wonder who has hid it?"
| find her sitting on it Nat,
But then-the baby did it.
The cunning elf, with wond'ring eyes,
May sometimes break the letter,
Twill really be a sad surprise
When age shall teach her better.
Then let the baby have her way,
Her pleasure-why forbid it?
You may be proud that you can say:
My little baby did IT,"

When you are dust, and ! am dust,
And time has passed away,
What profit that in sudden pride
You kissed me not to-day?
When you are dust, and | am dust,
Our spirits in the wind
VIII wander weary through the world
For love they cannot find.
Or II, perchance, in whirl of snow,
Upon some lonely hill,
Our Illustrate spirits meet and know,
And shuGder and are still;
What power to soothe our c~easeless
pain,
What hands or lips or eyes,
Before, forever torn in twain,
Our hope forever dies?
So when / come to you tonight,
| pray that at the door
| find you standing warm and bright
As you have stood before;
/ pray you let me KISS again
Your hands and lips and eyes;
For us the life of love, and then
The death that never diesl

TWO WHEELS.

She sings by her wheel at the low cot
tage door
Which the long evening shadows are
stretching before,
With a music as sweet as the music
which seems
OF our dreams.-John G. Whittier.
If the good Quaker poet could only
look back,
And cast his mild eye over progress
hot tract,
From the maidens that were to the
maidens that be,
Oh, weeping Jerusalem, what would he
see?
he maiden who san by her wheel,
at the door,
Isn't running that kind of a wheel any
any more;
She spinneth not fax by the cottage
door neat;
She straddles the wheel and goes forth
on the street.
The girl with the wheel, in the good
Quaker's day
Calm, quiet and modest, was spinning
away
Where the cool waters flowed and the
light zephers fair,
Blew the truant locks loose that had
strayed from her hair.
And her manner was tranquil, her skin
lily white
And her gown it was clean, and her
speech was polite.
In short, this fair maiden, the wheel
who possessed,
Was a pattern of modesty, GOODNESS
and rest.
The girl with the wheel at the present
goes out,
Without any weak hesitation or doubt,
And in dirt, and in dust, perspiration
and heat,
She pushes her way mong the teams
on the street.
She has large baggy trousers, no
bothersome skirt,
A manly cravat, and a coat, and a
shirt,
And her face becomes red as she on
ward doth pillow,
And the hot perspiration stands forth
on her brow.
Shades of our grandmothers, look Ger
the tide;
Think of your spinning, the cottage
cottage beside,
Then look at these boomers, this shirt
and cravat,
Shade of u ancestors, where are we
at?

4 SYI.PH.

She stood beneath the spreading trees
One summer afternoon.
When sweetly mingled with the
breeze
The fragrant air OF June.
The birds sang sweet on every spray
Throughout that yerdant glade,
And flowers peeped forth in bright
array
Around this pretty maid.
A picture Of perfection fair
She looked as there she stood.
Nor cavered was her sunny hair
By bonnet, hat, or hood.
Her dimplcd checks of rosy hue,
Her form of simple grace,
And bonny eyes of sparkling blue
Lent beauty to the place.
A while she stood in silent thought
Then bent her sunny crest
To pluck a sweet ''forget-me-not,"
And place it In her breast,
BY this it was the parting hour,
But as we parted. she
Took from her breast the modest
flower
And handed it to me.
