FETCHING HOME THE COWS.
By w. M. Herschell.

Course I know you'll misconstrue me
an will chuckle when I say
/ nave seen a. Twin picture of my
boyhood's years today.
Yes. sir, seen it like twas human an
it made tn blood in me
Rise half-skeered an half-delighted
at its strange reality.
Tell you how it was-now, listens
Through some impulse i'm
defined
walked countryward this twilight
seekin' calm an peace of mind.
Well, I paused to rest moment near
tn foot of Five-mile bridge
When a herd of cows come browsin'
long bypath down tn bridge.
Now, that amt no strange adventure.
but twas queer you will agree
That among tn livin' cattle walked
two cows in phantomry!
Yes, sir, spirit COWS, I'm sayin' walked
among tn livin' herd :,
And they held me so dumfounded
that I couldn't say a word.
Comin'-they just KEEP acomin' till
tn mist that dimmed my eye
Made me see old Red an Molly; cows
Dad owned in days gone by.
There they were, Reds bell a-tinklin',
Where Ahey always used to
browse,
An I heard my mother calm:
Sonny, go an fetch tn cows!"
All at once tn world grew newer! II
was not a world Of men,
It was boyhood, all obedient; fetchin'
home tn cows again.
Joyously I followed after, tossin
pebbles down tn lane,
Urgin' Red an Molly onward, fer tn
day was on tn wane.
But my march abruptly ended, when
voice that made me rouse
Sounded from tn hills behind me:
where We goin' with my
cows?'
Back to boyhood!' I responded, an
I think he understood,
Fer he answered, kind an friendly:
Dear old man, wish
could!"

"CHILD's NEW PRAYER.

Some mothers feel that there is
something gruesome in teaching
small children the time-honored
prayer, Now lay me down to Sleep
says the Continent (Chicago), and it
proposes substitute for those who
wish 1t. Objection to the old one
lies in the suggestion of death in the
third line, though it may be found
that the force Of habit and tradition
can only slowly give way to the new
reluctance to entertain the idea Of
death. We read:
OF course what has been so dear
to so many generations of little folks
and grown folks is not to be driven
out of the field by this one objec-
ton from sensitive parents, but on
the other hand traditional acceptance
won't overcome the objections of any
mother who, as one mther recently
testified, remembers having lain
awake whole nights in childhood ter
rified by the fear of death which the
little prayer had instilled. Any moth
er with that experience in her own
lie will certainly refuse to su bmit q
child Of her own to the peril of such
! horror. Fortunately there are many
beautiful substitutes that can be
taught child with equal ease and
which will be in his later memory
just as dear as Now I lay me- can be
to any one. One Of the simplest and
sweetest Of such substitutes is from
| the kindly pen Of William Canton OF
England:
! Father, whom can not see,
Look down from heaven on little me: =;
! Let angels through the darkness spread
Their holy wings above my bed;
! And keep me safe, because am

so and the play, now almost complete,
