Come, John,'' said /,
We'll choose among them rs they lie
Asleep" So, walking hand In hand,
Dear John and surveyed our band,
First to the cradle lightly stepped,
Where Lillian, the baby, slept.
Softly the, father stopped to lay
His rough hand down in a loving way.
When dream or whisper made her stir,
And huslily he said: Not her!"
We stopped beside the trun6lc bed,
And one long ray of lamplight shed
Athwart the boyiSh faces there,
In sleep SO beautiful and fair
saw on James rough red check,
A tear undried. Ere John could speak,
He's but baby, too," said 1,
And kissed him us we hurried by;
Pale, patient Robbic's angel face,
Still in his sleep bore sutTering'S trace.

Poor Dick! bad Dick. our wayward
Turbulent. restless, idle one
Could he be spared? Nay. lie who
gave,
Bid us befriend him to the grave;
Only a mothers heart could be
Patient enough for such as he;
And so," said John, ~ would not
dare
To take him from her bedside prayer
Then stole we softly up above,
And knelt by Mary, child OF love.
Perhaps for her 'twould better be-
said to John. Quite silently
lie lifted up 4 curl that lay
Across her cheek in wilful way,
Aud shook his head, Nay, Love, not
thee"
The while my heart beat audibly
Only one more, our eldest lad
Trusty and truthful, good and glad,
So like his father. No, John, no:
l cannot, will not, let him go''
And SO we wrote il, courteous way,
We could not give one Child away.
And afterward toll lighter seemed,
Thinking OF that OF which we dreamed,
Happy in truth that not one face
Was missed from its accustomed place:
Thankful to work for all The seven,
Trusting the rest to One in Heaven.

The Toy Pistol Pest.

Chicago has taken up in earnest the
very important question Of toy pistols.
An ordinance Is pending in the coun-
Gil Of Ghat city which Is intended to
stop the use and sale of The pcstiferous
little weapon by means OF Which hun
drcds Of boys are killed every year. In
Chicago about l5 deaths caused by
toy pistols have taken place since the
Fourth Of July, and others will doubt
less follow In Pittsburg about half as
many victims have pcrishcd in this
manner In the small city OF Wilkes
barre, in the anthracite coal region,
six fatal cases Of lockjaw have been
traced to this summers crop Of toy
pistol wounds. Cincinnati and Clcyc-
land have had the same experience,
and SO it goes through the country.
AS the Toy pistols do no good any
where. there ought to be no doubt
about the passage Of the pending Chi
cago ordinance or the enactment Of
like legislation in other places. At
best the pistols arc u public nuisance,
and at worst they cause terrible de-
Strllctlon Of life. Boys who die OF
locljaw are in agony long before the
end Gf the deadly disease. Many Of
them are bright and promising lads,
and their lives are well worth saving

corn shall not be taxed
The Government may appeal from the
House Of Commons to the country. but this
they show no disposition to do. Indeed, they
cannot do it. for they are not agreed among
themselves.
The Chancellor Of the Exchequer. in very
plain. straightforward language, defended
the repeal Of the tax Monday by the sound
and solid argument OF a free trader. The
com tax. he pointed out, was paid by the
consumer. and fell with especial severity
upon the poorest of the poor. 1t could only
be justified BY the necessities of war, and
his colleagues in the Cabinet had unani-

The debate on the coal tax shows that
the impost will soon follow the corn
