Grave of the Author of Nursery Dit'

A correspondent informs me that the
tomb of John Newbery, in Waltham
st. Lawrence churchyard, Is likely to
suffer the fate that Overtakes all such
monuments unless properly and regu-
larly cared for.
| have not seen 1t since visited the
quaint and quiet little village In the
summer Of 1895. when l was collect
ing materials for life Of 1.-The phil
anthropic publisher of st. Paul's
Churchyard." immortalized by Gold
smith in his "Vicar of Wakefield" by
DR.. johnson in "The Idler," by Wash
ington Irving in "Bracebridge Hall"
and by many other writer's who have
recognized the influence Of the first
publisher who wrote. edited, compiled
and published books for "all those lit
tie masters and misses who are good
or who intend to be good"
We have travelled a long way since
Newbery and Goldsmith co-operated
on that famous list Of books Of which
"Goody Two Shoes" and Tommy

pies, but II 1t We're only for the fact
that Newbery was the first to give the
Rhymes and Jingles Of Mother Goose
to the world in collected form his men,
DRY should ever be kept green by Eng.
ish-speaking children wherever they
may be found.
Newbery's original collection of
Mother Goose melodies has. moreover,
an added interest. for there is every
reason to believe that Goldsmith had
hand In the editing. annotating and
arranging Of the first edition.
Neither in London. at the scene OF
his labors. "over against the north door
Of st. Paul's cathedral" nor at the cor
ner Of st. Paul's churchyard. nor at
Canonbury house. Islington. where
he and Goldsmith lived and worked to-
gether. nor ut his birthplace, Waltham
st. Lawrence. Is there anything of
prominence to keep his name In remem-
brance.
A claim to have been the originator
Of the Mother Goose collection was
made about thirty years ago on behalf
Of Mrs. Goose. or VergOOse, the mother
in-law Of Thomas Fleet. printer who
flourished in Boston. U. s. A.. during
the eighteenth century. The absurdity
Of this contention was amply demon
strated by w. II. Whitmore. the pres
ent city registrar Of Boston. In his pre-
face to fac-simile OF Newbery's edi-
ton. which he published in 1892; but
ancient superstition and modern myths
alike die hard, and there are thousands
in America to-day who cling to the idea
that Mother Goose was an American
lady instead of nom de plume bor-
rowed by Newberry from Charles Per.

Bessie's soft bed. Very soon the dear
est, tniest, timidest gray mouse Bes-
sic had ever seen ran out from under
the gate. and looked round with his
bright black eyes. He did not seem Il
bit afraid of kitty. but ran up to him
and held up his little nose for a kiss
AS kitty was not very big. no doubt
mousic thought it was his mother.
kitty thinks, What a funny little
thing" said Bessie in a whisper. as
he bent down and smclt it. Mousie
gave a little jump. and ran away as
fast as he could go. Then kitty sprang
after him.
ooh. he will kill the poor little
mouse," cried Bessie, jumping up from
her chair.
"No. he won't. Look, dear! He's
gomez said Auntic. And sure enough,
at that moment Master Mousie reached
his hole under the fence and ran into
it with squeak of joy.
Bessie picked up the kitten. "Poor
kitty don't be disappointed! Never
mind If you have lost him. I'll give
YOU a nice dinner instead"
Then she added. as she ran upstairs,
you're a very good little kitty to let
mousie run home and not kill him."
