The Infant Jesus.
Dear Little One! how sweet Thou art,
Thine eyes, how bright they shine,
So bright they almost seem to speak
When Mary's looks meet Thine!
How faint and feeble is Thy cry,
Like plant of harmless dove,
When Thou dost murmur in Thy sleep
Of sorrow and of love.
When Mary bids Thee sleep Thou
sleepst.
Thou wakest when she calls:
Thou art content upon her lap,
Or in the rugged stalls.
Simplest of babes! with what grace
Thou dost Thy mothers will!
Thine infant fashions we'll betray
The Godheads hidden skill.
When Joseph takes Thee in his arms,
And smoothes Thy little cheek,
Thou lookest up into his face
So helpless and so meek.
Yes, thou art what Thou seem'st to be,
thing of smiles and tears:
Yet Thou art God, and heaven and earth
Adore Thee with their fears.
Yes! Dearest Babe! those tiny hands,
That play with Mary's hair,
The weight of all the mighty world
This very moment bear.
While Thou art clasping Mary's neck
In timid, tight embrace,
The boldest seraphs veil themselves
Before Thine infant face.
When Mary hath appeased Thy thirst,
And hushed Thy feeble cry,
The hearts of men lie open still
Before thy slumbering eye.
Art Thou, weak Babe, my very God?
Oh, must love Thee, then,
Love Thee. and yearn to spread Thy
love
Among lOrgetLul men.
o sweet, o wakeful-hearted Child,
Sleep on. dear Jesus! sleep;
For Thou must one day wake for me
To suffer and to weep.
A scourge, cross, cruel crown
Have I in store for Thee;
Yet why? one little tear, o Lord!
Ransom enough would be.
But no! death is Thine own sweet will,
The price decreed above;
Thou wilt do more than save our souls,
For Thou wilt die for love.

only few of the rear rank remained

dead and ldying,could be clearly distin-
guishedilyin in piles ona the hillside,
and over their PROSTATE bodies fresh
troops crowded on to meet the same

How many ardent hopes were extin-

TROOPS TO LEAVE CAMP wIKoFF.
To Be Gotten Away as Quickly as Pos
sible.

New York, Sept. There is no
change in the programme of the gov
eminent as to getting all the volun-
teers out of Camp Wikoff just as
fast as they can be sent away. Some
time to-day tine Thirty-third Michigan
will depart. The regiment Will muster
about 725 men when they leave camp
and the sick will be sent away as fast
as possible afterward 1t is possible
that a hospital train of sick Michigan
troops may leave the camp about Satur-
day. The Thirty-fourth Michigan viii
leave Tomorrow. This will bring the
list of volunteers here down considera-
bly,. Those of the Michigan regiments
too sick to go with their comrades on
either the troop trains or on the hospi-
tai trains. will be furioughed home just
as rapidly as their condition will war
rant. Both the Thirty-third and Thirty
fourth Michigan go home on sixty-day
furioughs and will be mustered out sixty
days hence. The muster-out. in the
opinion of the Michigan men, will be at
the armories as sixty days hence it
will be too cold to assemble the soldiers
at Eaton Island on the northern border.
The general hospital is getting smaller
rapidly now and despite the fact that
there are new arrivals every hour the
number Is decreasing. Three hundred
sick were taken out OF the hoSpltal yes
terday and transferred to the Shine
cock, which Is now a division hospital
