Baby's Cat.

Want to see me, hey, old chap!
Want to curl up in my lap
Do yer, Jim?
See him sit and purr and blink,
Don't yer bet he knows 1 think
Lots of him?
Little kitten, nothin' more,
When we found him at the door,
In the cold.
And the baby, half-undressed,
Picked him up, and he was just
All she'd hold.
Put him up for me to see,
And she says, so cute, says she,
"Baby's cat"
And we never had the heart
For to keep them two apart
After that.
Seems if must hear the beat
OF her toddln' little feet,
Round about;
Seem to see her tucked III bed,
With the kittens furry head
Peekin' out.
Seems if could hear her say,
In the cunnln' baby way
That she had:
"Say goodnight to jimmie, do,
Cos If 90 fordetted to
He'd feel bad
Miss her dreadful, don't we, boy?
Day don't seem to bring no joy
With the dawn;
Looks g night was everywhere,
But there's glory over there
Where she's gone.
Seems as if my heart would break,
But | love yer for her sake,
Don't I, jim?
See him sit and purr and blink;
Don't yer bet he knows | think
Lots of him?

The Child Musician.

He played for his lordship's levee.
He had played for her lady ships whim-
Till the poor little head grew heavy,
And the poor little brain would swim.
And the face grew peaked and eerie,
And the large eyes strange and bright
And they said-too late-"He is weary
He shall rest for, at least-to-night."
But at dawn, when the birds were waking,
AS they watched in the silent room,
With the sound of strained cord breaking,
something snapped in the gloom.
Twas a string of his violoncello-
And they heard him stir in his bed,
make room for tired little fellow,
Kind God"-was the last he said
Austin Dobson.

when he gave so cents to foreign missions,

which it would be cheaper to fill up, es-
cape entirely the observation OF the man
who forgets that there was war, and real

&c out, and the constitutions ruined in

1t seems to me that it would be a very
easy matter to squelch the matrimonial
speculations which SO shock and scandal
lze the great majority of good people.
Every decent, self-respecting man and
woman ill the country would hail a law
which would forever put an end to bust
ness of that sort, and it is only due to
honest and self-respecting veterans that
such legislation should take place 1t is
safe to say that the congressman who
would Introduce such bill would receive
the thanks of his constituents and the
country at large. If Mr.. Gillett would
take the matter in hand he might also i'm
mortalize himself

No doubt there were soldiers in the late
war who had used all manner of devices
to escape active service, no doubt many
feigned sickness, no doubt men shot off
their own fingers and toes in order to be
discharged, after enlisting to secure large
bounties; but for the honor and glory of
the American manhood which rose to the
emergency 81 years ago, let us recall also
many cases of men who begged to leave
the hospital to rejoin their command on
the eve of battle.
One case comes to my mind which 1
