ant legislation will be considered, ,and
in all probability steps will be taken
to secure its enactment by the gener
al assembly. The foremost movement
that is being agitated is for the
creation of a department Of horti.
culture, similar 10 the department Of
agriculture. The purpose Of this
movement is the protection of the
public and of nursery men, who do
legitimate business, from the wiles
and inroads Of irresponsible. tree
iobbers. Thess men are doing much
damage to the legitimate nursery in

But sleep my weary eyes hath flown
And sad, uneasy thoughts arise.

Whose love my early life hath blest-
Of thee and him-Our baby SON.
Who sluInbers on thy gentle breast.

Oh, guard the tender sleeper's rest.
And hover gently, hover near

In whose young heart have freshly met

And cheer her dropping spirits get.

Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise
No tear Is wept to The unknown,
No hair is lost, no sparrow dles
That Thou can'st stay the ruthless han Is
Of dark disease, and sooth Its PAIN
That only by Thy stern commands
The battles lost the soldiers slain
That from distant sea or land
Thou brlng'st the wanderei home again
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-wet cheek Is sadly prest
May happier visions beam upon
The frightening current OF her breast
No frowning look nor angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath OF her rest.
Whatever fate those forms may show
Loved with passion almost Wild
by day-by night-in Joy or woe
BY fears expressed, or hopes beguIled.
From every danger, every foe,
