A CHRISTENING ODE.

FoR LITTLE MARY NANCY RonKRTs.
VXTE have gathered the roses of May,
w And plucked from the stems every thorn,
For this, thy own festal day.
Thy bright baptismal morn.
And the wee sweet violet too
We culed from its lowly bed;
See here the blossom Of blue
And the odorous red
And could we the tall lily fnd
With its chalice of cleaning white,
The waxen buds would bind
And mix with the rose-leaves bright.
Far down in the heart of the three,
Deep-hdden, as jewels are,
Gems not found by the bee
Glsten like lustrous stars.
Charity burns in the rose,
Humility CLEANS in the blue,
In the heart of the lily there CLOVIS
pearl of heaven-born hue.
For purity dwells in the gold
Deep-hd in the crystalline cup;
Far from the gaze of the bold
It's sweetness is yielded up.
The violet lily, and rose
Humility, purity, and love-
Watered with grace each grows
Ripe for the "Gardens Above"
In the Saving drops that are poured
Over thy soul this day
The seeds of these virtues stored,
To blossom and fruit DER thy way.

ed by Col Smith at 1900, although the

heavy voiieys against the whole Ameri-

CHILD's MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Falls between the Rails in Front OF
n Moving Train and IL
Unhurt.

The little child of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Ranks, of prout's station, o., was saved
from death in a miraculous manner.
1t was playing on the baltimore & Ohio
tracks when a train, composed of IN
engine and "a cars, came dnshing along
at rapid speed.
The child was in the middle of the
track before its mother was aware of
its whereabouts or its danger. She ran
to its mid, but tainted before she
reached the track. 1t was impossible
to stop the train, and It seemed certain
that the child would be ground to
dust. However, the child fell between
the rails, perhaps by accident, possibly
by n protecting Providence, and was
saved from injury, the train having
passed over it, but net even touching it.
The train was stopped, and the train
men returned, expecting TO find the
lifeless body, Instead, they found the
little one badly scared and crying, to
the great joy of both the trninmen and
the mother.
