Indian Cradle Song.

Swing thee low in thy cradle soft,
Deep in the dusky wood:
Swing thee low and swing aloft
Sleep, as papoOse shOuld:
For. safe in your little birchen nest
Quiet will come, and peace and rest.
II the little papoose is good
The coyote bowls on the prairie cold,
And the owlet boots In the Tree;
And the big moon shines on the little child
AS 1t slumbers peacefully.
So swing thee high in thy little nest.
And swing thee low and take the rest
That the night wind brings to thee
The father lies on the fragrant ground,
Dreaming of hunt and fight;
And the pine leaves rustic with mournful
sound
XII through the solemn night.
ks4t the little papoose in his birchen nest
Is swinging low as he takes his rest,
Till the sun brings the morning light.

AUcUsT's BIRTHSTONE.
Wear sardonyx. or for thee
No Congenial felicity:

ne Angust-born, without this stone
It's said must live unloyed and lone
The month of August is represented
as its birthstone, by a gem famous i'm
hIstory--the sardonyx. The story is fa-
miliar doubtless. Queen Elizabeth. who
was in love with the Earl of Essex he
yond all other men. gave him the ring
which figures in history. The setting Is
cnameled and engraved. the stone n sar-
donyX on which is cut in bold relief n
head of the Queen. She believed that
she had endowed it with peculiar powers
and promised him that, whatever evil
might bcfall him, or whatever fault he
might commit, he should be upheld and
forgiven, on sending this ring to her.
After he was committed TO the Tower
and condemned, he sent for the Countess
of Nottingham. To whom he entrusted the
ring, with the charge to deliver it to the
Queen.
The countess was false to her trust and
BETRAYED her errand TO Sir Robert Cecil,
who kept the ring. After the beheading
or Essex the countess, being on her
deathbed, sent for the Queen. and made a
fun confession of her perfidy. imploring
mercy of God and Of the Queen.
Elizabeth seized the diving woman and
shook her violently, sending her soul sud.
denly before the higher tribunal. and
screaming meanwhile the most terrible
curses and shouting, God may forgive
you, but ! never can"
