ROCK-A-BYE BABY.
BY Eugene Field.
A LULLABY.

Rock-a-bye, baby! On the tree top.
When the wind blows, the cradle will
rock:
When the bough bends the cradle will
Down tumbles baby, cradle and all.
Rock-a-bye baby! The meadows in
bloom:
Laugh at the sunbeams that dance in the
Echo the birds with their own baby tune.
Coo in the sunshine and flowers of June.
Rock-a-bye baby! AS softly it swings,
Over the cIadle the mother love sings;
BroOding or cooling at even or dawn,
What will it do when the mother is gone?
Rock-a-bye baby! So cloudless the skies,
Blue as the depths of your own laughing
Sweet is the lullaby over your nest
That tenderly sings little baby to rest.
Rock-a-bye baby! The blue eyes will
Sweetest when mammals eyes over them
Never again will the world seem so fair;
Sleep, little baby! There's no cloud in
the air.
ROck-q-bye babyl The blue eyes will
And ache with that manhood you will
learn;
Swiftly the years come with sorrow and
care,
With the burdens the wee dimpled shout
GERS must bear.
Rock-a-bye baby! There's coming q, day
Whose sorrows a mothers lips can't kiss
away
Days when its song will be changed to a
moan
Crosses that baby must bear all alone.
Rock-a-bye baby! The meadows in
bloom;
May never the frosts pail the beauty in
gloom;
Be thy world ever bright as today it is
seen.
Rock-a-bye baby! Thy cradle is green.

Aeschylus, the son Of Euphorion, ma

died B. G. 456, was the father of the
Athenian drama. He was present at the
battle Of Marathon, B. c. 400, in which
he was greatly distinguished, along with
his brothers.; and in picture represent
ing this battle he was placed in the fore
ground, and was thus associated in the
honors which were paid to Miltiades.
Six years afterward, B. c. 1884, the same
year in which Herodotus was born. Aes-
chylus gained his first victory as a COM
petitor for the prize of tragedy; and he
vas successful thirteen times during an
interval of sixteen years. He visited the
court of Hero, king of Syracuse, who
was distinguished patron of the learned,
and who had induced such men as Pindar
and Simondes to reside with him. There
is a power in the language, a sublinity

The first native American dentist was

New York in 1888. The profession was
introduced into the United States a few
years before by LIE MAR, a F'renchman.

had joined the American army during
the Revolution. An Englishman named
Whitlock also began business after LIE
