FOR THE CITY CHILD.

The babbllng brooks we read about
Are doubtless very pretty.
But they are not in evidence
For children in the city.
The chances on their banks to play
Seem to be growing fewer.
As near as some tots reach them is
The gurgling of the sewer.
The cutters In the city street
Lack clear and sparkling luster.
They can for posies on their banks
A grass blade scarcely muster.
They do not lolter on their way
And here and there grow deeper,
For they are rudely pushed along
BY every pavement sweeper.
They do not laugh and leap and sing,
But move on like a cripple
No romance fingers on their banks
or iu their murky ripple.
They do not tell OF meadows bright
or forests dim and hazy.
And any one who tried TO fish
In them would be called crazy.
Yet they are all the babbling brook
That children IN the city
VIII ever have to tell about
OR dream OF. more's the pity.
] wonder when they grow up tall
And have some splendid chances,
II they will weave them into plays
or write them In romances.
