LITTLE BOY BLUE.

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is led with
rust,
And his musket molds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was
new,
And tbs soldier was passing fair.
And that was the time when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and pat them there.
Now, don't you go till l come he
said,
And don't you make any noise!i
So, toddling off to his trundle-bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And, as he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long.
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of litlle face.
And they wonder. as waiting these long
years through.
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy
Blue
Since he kissed them and put them
there.

AN EASTER THOUGHT.
Contributed 70 the HEEALp.l

Over 1900 years ago, as the shep-
herds were watching their f1Ocks by
night, there travelled across the Ju-
dean sky light more brilliant than
any that had ever lighted the eyes of
the shepherds on the plains of hum
bic Galilee by night. There must
have been sudden wonderment az
each breath was affected, now deep,
now shallow, eyes wide open, the
hearts beating violently, each one
gTasping the other by the hand,
drawing closer one to the other as
the light grew brighter and brighter.
AS | walked over those barren. de
serted and almost God-cursed hills,
L thought saw that Life born Of
love, Joy, pain and ecstacy. Born
Of love when Heaven said, Peace
on earth, good will toward men"
OF Joy as He went from hilltop to
hilltop, valley to valley, saying to
the dead, Come forth ;" to the sick,
arise and TO the palsied hand,
