THE BABY.
victor Hugo.

Like tiny CLINT of light piercing through
the dusty gloom.
Comes her little laughing face through the
shadows of my room.
And my pen forgets its way as 1t hears the
pattr'ing tread,
While her prattling treble tones chase the
thoughts from out my bead.
She Is queen and her slave, one who loves
her and obeys;
For she rules her world of home with i'm
perious baby ways.
In she dances, calls me "Dearn turns the
pages of my books,
Thiones herself upon niyknee, takes my pen
with laughing looks.
Makes disorder reign supreme, turns my
papers upside down.
Draws me cabalistic signs, safe from Tear OF
sny.frown.
Crumples all my verses up, pleased to hear
the cracking sound;
Makes them into balls and then-flings them
all upon this ground.
Suddenly she fits away, leaving me alone
again
With q warmth about my heart aud a
brighter, clearer brain.
And although the thoughts return, that her
coming drove away,
The remembrance of her laugh fingers with
me through the day.
And 1t chances. rs l write. may take a
crutnpled sheet,
On which, God knoweth whyI read my
fancies twice as sweet.

THE RELATIONS STRAINED.

Gentlemen of Court Indisposed to Gloss
Over Prince Henry's Misconduct.
Amsterdam, Holland, Dec. 5.-With
the view of allay ing public indignation
and exe,tement, semi official intimations
have been circulated to the effect that
Queen Wilhelmina mas forgiven her hus-
abnd, FRINGE Henry of The Neither
lands, the suggestion being that the
public ought to follow suit.
Since Prince Henry returned to Het
Loo. last Monday. the Queen and be
have been dining together and gradually
resuming normal relations Yesterday
they walked together, and afterward
drove in the castle park. The relations
betu cen Prince Henry and the members
OF the court are, however, very strained.
This former cordially has been replaced
by an attitude o. frigid politeness on
the part of the Prince Consort. and
apparently the gentlemen Of the court
are equally indisposed to gloss over the
recent occurrences.
