BABY SLEEPS.

Knowing naught of joy or care,
Baby sleeps.
Sails on seas of pearly cloud;
Floats through dreamland, dim and fair.
Vaporous landscapes round him crowd,
AS he rocks Ger golden deeps,
Rest his half f-formed senses sleeps.
Baby sleeps
Hark! that little troubled sigh,
Baby dreams.
Gathering round from dreamland's rim.
Eerie shapes are drawing nigh
Distant, vague. they menace him.
All, but mothers sheltering arms
Guard him and dispel alarms,
In baby's dreams.
Incense seems to fill the air.
Baby smiles
Angels unseen, near his cot
Mystic converse with him share:
Visit baby S realms unsought
None may see their forms but he.
Or hear them sing his lullaby
AS baby smiles.
With sigh of soft content,
Baby wakes
Who but he knows ba6yland,
Save the angels God has sent:
ViewlesS yet potent band,
Guarding him with gentle might
In his slumbers pure and light,
Till baby wakes.

returning from their orief wedding
journey His brow grew quite wrinkled
as he mentioned it.
Il don't know much about women
anyhow, Ellie,' he admitted; "and you
know mothers always 0een the head
of the house, and your grandmotheEs
always been the head OF your house
and how they're going TO manage 1t
all OF us living together-is more than
I can tell"
"I wish could have seen your
mother and made her love me little
before we were married." sighed Ellie.
which was the nearest she had come 20
acknowledging that there were difficult
ties in the way But she had acknoWl-
edged it to herself with some faintness
of heart, if John had but known 1t. she
was going to house where she ougnr
really to be the housekeeper and home
keeper. and she knew that John
mother was already jealous or John
wife. She must take with her into that
house the white-haired grandmother
who had raised her from infancy, and
was always busy, counting nothing too
hard for her active old hands. And she
herself was very young, and she must
manage all these difficulties herself
and not burden John with them. No
wonder that she looked a little
thoughtful, even While she was smiling
at John and assuring him that they
would manage somehow.
Their journey took them past her old
home, where her grandmother was
ready to join them. Old Mrs. Veddes
