Our Babies Graves.
The first white snow on our Bibles
graves,
Like flakes OF foam on the seas green
waves:
The SNOW so pure-like our Babies
hearts,
The snow so cold--like the hour that
parts.
The flowers on the Babies graves are
dead,
And the grass is withered, and bleak,
and red;
And the Winter comes with it's ashen
cloud,
And wraps up the light in it's somble
shroud.
The trees are bare-and the scattered
leaves
Are crisp as the heart that forever
grieves,
For the years sad night has come to
earth,
But that night will pass, and the
Spring have birth.
And the sun will slime on the bounte-
GUS land,
And the trees will deck it in vesture
grand,
And the grass will sprout and the
flowers will grow,
When we say farewell to the Winters
But bright tho the Spring suns radi-
ant burn:
Our Babes, with the Spring, shall not
return.
The snow may melt when the cold de-
parts;
But snow shall cling to the parents
hearts.
The flowers that we loved are forever
dead.
And the showers of Spring are the
tears we shed;
While prayers, like dew, will bedeck
the sod,
We shall meet the Babes in Il Spring
with God.

Stabat Mater of the Crib.

StlnuS lllaC mOlllef more than beau
tcous,
Where her Blessed Child is laid,
In that stable, by that manager
Stands that raptured mother maid.
How her Virgin soul is swelling,
Thrilling with unearthly bliss,
She hath seen Him, she hath heard
Him,
She hath felt His infant kiss
How she sings with joy ecstatic,
Sings the pure and indebted.
Stainless, Spotless Mother Virgin
\ Mother of the Only Child.
Who can choose but share her rapture.
AS she clasps Him to her breast,
Playing now in childlike beauty,
Sleeping now in peaceful rest.
For our sins and for His nation,
See, the little Jesus lies
In the stable with the oxen,
Tears are in His infant eyes.
"Nato Christie in pracspr,''
So the white-wingcd angels sing;
Coming down from brightest heaven,
Praises to that crib to bring.
Stands the holy, peaceful Joseph
With that spotlcss Virgin flower;
Speeches. in their holy rapture,
Speeches. in. that midnight hour.
ALI! my Mother, fount of loving,
Since from thee all loving flows,
Breathe into my inmost spirit
All the love thy bosom knows.
Make me feel the pain He suffers
From the cradle to the grave,
Who, in that poor stable lying,
Comes from Heaven my soul to
save.
Bind me close and ever closer,
To that Babe of Bethlehem,
To the gentle Jesuino-
Love must find new names for Him.
Even in my exile burning,
Make me live for His sweet love,
With a rapture hourly deepening,
Till He takes me home above.
Virgin of all virgins purest,
Spotless, stainless, .undefiled,
Give me in my arms to clasp him,
Let me kiss thy blessed child.
Let my soul be lost in loving
Him, who dying, gives us life,
Who is born this blessed morning,
Peace to bring to Danish strife.
Flood me with enraptured sweetness,
Let me love my life away,
Mother, spotless, with thy infant
And myself, this blessed day.
And, when dying, let me see Him;
Let me clasp Him to my breast
Loving living, loving dying,
Thus to go to endless rest.

grave of an English churchyard, Every
hour of every day the mail bag is packed
with words which waken love and laugh

in the cheek and dim the failing sight
with bitter tears
But with all this there is going on
through the mail service a disseInina.
ton Of human knowledge, a reaching
out of human help which is one of the
browning blessings Of our century. The
correspondence schools led by Chautau-
qua, are sending to every village and
hamlet the broader knowledge which is
so eagerly craved by many who are shut
In to the homely duties Of humble
life. Without the mail system this plan
of education would be i1npracticable.
Every mail, too, carries from the great
centers, the advice of great physicians,
which it would be impossible for the
distant public to obtain we're 1t not for

many thousand people depend on the
mail service for medical treatment. Not

that of his staff of nearly score Of
skilled and experienced specialists much
sought after, especially by women, to
the treatment and cure of whose special
diseases DR.. Pierce has devoted over
thirty years of almost constant labor
But though this example is out OF the
ordinary, 1t may.serve as an evidence Of
the amazing benefits reaped by the pub

outlying hamlet in touch with the most
advanced medical specialisin OF the day.
1t gives at a cost Of two-cent stamp,
the skill and experience that it has taken
years to acquire. Literally at the cost

perhaps the supreme service of all. For

eornmand the learning Of great pro-
fessors while working in the Michigan
woods, it Is still grander thing that by
means of this cheaply supplied service,
men like Dr.. Pierce, who have the dis
position to be helpful, are enabled to
place their skill and knowledge at the
disposal of those who are being dragged
down by disease, without the possibility
Of help from those about them. When
one contemplates tho vast and far reach
ing benefits of the mail service, so briefly
touched upon in this article, 1t makes
the familiar gray uniform of the posttnan
the most glorious of all uniforms, for it is
worn by the soldiers of the army Of peace.
