THE WAsHERWoMAN,s SONG.

In very humble cot,
In rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap
Worked a woman full of hope;
Working, singing, all alone,
In sort of undertone,
with Saviour for a friend,
He will keep us to the end"
Sometimes happening along,
! had heard the semi-song,
And / often used to smile,
More in sympathy than guile;
But never said word
In regard to what / heard,
AS she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee,
Working all day long was she,
As her children, three or four,
Played around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song,
She was humming all day long,
with the Saviour for a friend,
He will keep me to the end
It's a song I do not sing,
For / scarce believe thing
OF the series that are told
OF the miracles of old;
But I know that her belief
Is the anodyne of grief
And will always be friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just a trif1e lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be;
But her spirits always rose
Like the bubbles in the clothes.
And though widowed and alone,
Cheered. her with the monotone,
OF Saviour and a friend,
Who would keep her to the end.
I have seen her rub and scrub
On the washboard in the tub,
While the baby sopped in suds,
Rolled and tumbled in the buds,
Or was padding in the pools
With old scissors stuck in spools,
She was humming of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs;
And l would not wish to strip
From that washerwoman's lip
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that song can bring;
For the woman has a friend
Who will keep her to the end.

JAMES sERENADE.

Mamma, what is serenade"
asked Jamie.
tits a song" said mamma. But
why do you want to know?"
"a song" said Jamie. "Why,
heard Uncle Jim say that he went out
to give a serenade on Tuesday night.
thought it was something to give
some one."
why, you give them a song, you
see. When you are very fond OF
some one, you go at night, and sing
a song under her window. That 10 to
show the person that you love her."
Must you do it at night?"
Eyes. I think so.''
But s'pose your mother won't let
you sit up late at night; or s'pose you
fall asleep, and can't wake yourself
up
ooh, the people who give serenades
do it secretly, and they commonly have
no trouble in keeping awake at night"
"Oh!" said Jamie, as if he were per-
fectly enlightened about the matter.
Then mamma forgot all about the
matter, but Jamie pondered long and
earnestly.
Two nights later grandma was just
settling herself for her nap, when she
heard a sound which made her raise
her nightcapped head from her pillow
in haste.
Father, that's Jamie!" she ex-
claimed.
Nonsense! jamie was in dreamland
an hour ago." said grandpa.
Then a shrill boyish voice arose on
the night air:
my kitty has gone from her basket,
My kitty has gone up tree;
Oh, who will go up in the branches,
And bring back my kitty to me?
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my kitty to me, to mel"
Jamie Carroll, who do you mean?
Come right in out of that damp air.
"Wait till I finished my song, Grand
ma" said an aggrieved voice. "You
oughtnt interrupt it, cause it's ser.
enade."
Does your mother know you are
here?"
"Of course not. serenades are Sc.
cret"
LET the boy finish his song," said
grandpa, with chuckle.
Have you got all your clothes on?''
demanded grandpa.
"Why, of course"
well, put this scarf around your
neck, and finish your song. Then
come to the kitchen door, and will
give you some refreshments.
ooh, do you get refreshments for
serenades?"
Eyes, indeed. Now hurry"
The shrill refrain was taken up
again, and the music finished in
double-quick time. When he finished,
he found grandma at the door wait
ing for him, with plate of the little
chocolate cakes which Jamie thought
were the very best things in the world
to eat. Grandpa was there, too; and
when the refreshments were disposed
of, he escorted the small serenader
home.
"Good-by, DEAR" said grandma. 81
enjoyed your music very much"
But mamma collapsed with a string
of incoherent EXPLANATIONS when she
opened the door to the runaway. "Why
didn't you tell me about it?' she de.
handed
why, mamma, you said yourself
that they were secret. And / love
grandma the best after you, and ]
wanted to surprise her. She liked ii
very much, and I had refreshments
and lots of fun
"But you'll tell me about it next
time, won't you? Because people can
always tell secrets to their mother "
"All right" said jamie. 81 will"
