etery, Thornburg.
This is the way the baby slept,
A mist of tresses backward thrown,
BY quavering sighs where kisses crept
Withyearnings he had never known.
The little hands we're closely kept
About lily newly blown,
And God was with him, and we wept-
And this is the way the baby slept. "

hope revived, but again hopes were
dashed to the ground. Saturday even
