Don't stop my paper, printer, Don't strike my name off yet; You know the times are stringent, And dollars are hard to get; But tug a little harder Is what I mean to do, And scrape the dimes together, Enough for me and you. [I can't afford to drop it; 1 find it doesn't pay To do ithout a paper, However others may. I hate to ask my neighbors To give me theirs on loan; They don't just say but mean it. Why don't you have your oWn? You can't tell how we miss it, If it, by any fate, Should happen not to reach us, Or comes a little late: Then all is in a hubbub, And everything's awry, And, printer, if you're married You know the reason why. I cannot do without it, It is no useto try, For other people take it, And, printer, so must I. So I must have my paper, Cost what it may to me, I'd rather dock my sugar, And do without my tes. So, printer, don't stop it, Unless you want my frown, For here's the year's subscription, And credit it right down, And send the paper promptly And regularly on, And let it bring us weekly Its welcomed benison. -[St. Charles Herald. BIB! IS DEAD. res One of the most touchingly beau- set tiful tributes to a dead baby that has lea fallen under our notice for many a day is from the editor of the Tele- eni graph Operator:- thE "Baby is dead !" Three little weods passed along the line; copied col somewhere and soon forgotten. But ab after all was quiet again, I leaned my hand upon my head, and fell into a lik deep reverre of all that those words mean. Somewhl-re-.&, dainty form, still and cold, unclasped b3. mother's arms to-night. Eyes that yes y th were bright and blue as skies of June drooped to-night beneath white lids that no voice can ever raise again.- on Two soft hands, whose rose-leaf fin th gers were wont to wander lovingly around motheris neck and face, loose= ha ly holding white buds, quietly folded ea in confined rest. Soft lips, yestcr ay rippling with laughter, sweet as sti woom4 brook falls, gay as trill of fo forest birds; to-eight unresponsive to kiss or call of love:-A -silent home wl -the patter of baby feet forever si hushed-a cradle bed stippressed, bl little shoes half worn-dainty gar ments, shoulder knots of blue to match those eyes of yesterday, fold- Ci ed with aching heart away. A tiny mound snow-covered in some quiet graveyard. A mother's groping touch in uneasy slumber, for the fair head that shall never again rest upon herbosom. The low sob, the bitter tear, as broken dreams awake to sad e reality. The hope of future years a a wrecked, like fair ships that sudden s ly go down in sight of land. The . watching of other babies, dimpled, d laughing, strong, and this one gone! f The present agony of grief, the in- ri ture emptiness o( heart, are held in ', those three little words-"Baby is dead!" Indeed, it is well that we s copy and soon forget the words so i - freighted with woe to those who re- n ceive and send them. And yet it i cannot harm us now and then to give i- a tender thought to those for whom L our careless pen-stroke is preparing r such a weight of grief. -A ANEw YORK paper gives a re- t markable instance of the verdancy t of some young mothers. One up . there was one morning bathing the baby for the first time, when the grandmother in passing through the I a- room nodiced that the water was cold. Instead of adding warm wa ter the mother placed the bath tub i L. with the baby in it on a small gas s" stove and waited for further devel y, opments. The developments came as soon as the bottom of the tub be gan to get extra warm. The off 6- spring gave one yell, when the fend mother, grandmother 'and two ser ýd vants rushed to the rescue.: In the future grandmother will wash the 3 baby, while the mother reads up on pl the cares of a mother, and how to bring up children. ad - -- -Youse lady are you cross, ner vous and fretful? Have you spells y, of melancholy, or are you wakefi nights? How is your memory, anid o- do you feel vigorous? Areyou pile, ud feeble and inactive? If so, use one me or two bottles of Dr. Dromgoole's English Female Bitters, it will re store you to health in every particu lar and make you feel bright, bouy aIt and happy.
