BETTER IN THE MORNING,
BY ItKV. LKANDKH 8. COAN.
“You can’t help the baby, paraon.
But atill I want >e to go
Down an' look In upon her
An’ read, an’ pray, you know.
Only last week abe was akippln’ ’round
A pallin’ my whirkera ’n hair,
A climiu* up to the table
Into her little high chair.
“The first night that ahe took it.
Wheu her little cheeks grew red,
When ahe kiaaed good-night to papa,
And went away to bed—
Sex ahe, 'Tia headache, papa,
be better in the morntn’—bye;
An’ aomethin’ in how ahe aaid it
Juat made me want to cry.
“But the mornln* brought the fevor,
And her little handa were hot.
An' the pretty red ur her litile check!
Grew int > a crimaon apot.
But ahe laid there Jeat ex patient
Ex ever a woman could.
Takin’ whatever we gave her
Bjtter’n a grown woman could.
“The day a are terrible long an* alow
An'ahe'a growiu’ wua in each;
An' now ah t'a jeat a alippin’
Clear away out uv our reach
It very night when I go to kina her,
Tryin* hard not to cry,
She aaya in a way that killa me—
'Be better In morniu’—bye!’
“She can’t get thro’ the night, paraon,
Si 1 want ya to come an’ pray
And talk with mother a little—
You'll know jea’ what to eay;
Mot that the baby needs it,
N >r thatwemaku auy complaint
That God seems to think He’s ueedin’
The smile uv tha little saint.”
“I walked along with the corporal
To the door of big humble home,
To which the aileut messenger
Before mu had also come;
And if he had been a titled prlaoe.
I would not have been honored more
Than I was with hie heartfelt welcome
To his lowly cottage deor.
Night falls again In the cottage,
They move in silence and dread
Around the room where the baby
Lies panting upou the bed.
“Does baby know papa .darling?’’
And ahe moves her little face
With answer that shows she knows him;
But scarce a visible trace
Of her wonderful infantile beauty
Bimains as it was before;
The unseen, silent messenger
Had waited at their door.
“Papa—kiaa—baby so—tired.’’
The man bows low hie face
And two swollen banas are lifted
In baby 's last embrace.
And into her fhther’s grixxled beard
The little red fingers cling.
While her husky whispered tenderness
Tears from a rock would wring,
“Baby—is—so—sick- papa—
But—don’t—waut—you—to—cry.”
The little hands fail on the coverlet,
“Be—better—in—inornin’—bye!”
And night around baby is falling,
Settiiug down dark aud dense;
Does God need their darling in heaven
That he must carry her hence?
I prayed with tears in my voiee.
As the corporal solemnly knelt
With grief such as naver before
His great warm heart had felt.
Oh, frivolous men and women I
Do you know that round you, and high—
Alike from the humble and haughty
Goeth up evermore the cry;
“My child, my precious, my darling,
How can 1 let you die?”
Oh ! hear ye the white lips whisper
“ Be—better -in—mornfn’—bye.”
A Generation on the Mareli.
A generation on the march from the cra
dle to the grave is an instructive spectacle,
and we have it carefully presented to us in
the report of Dr. Farr, an English physician.
Let us trace the physical fortune which any
million of us may reasonably expect. The
number, to begin with, is made up of 511,-
754 boys and 488,25$ girls, a disproportion
which, by and by, will be redressed by the
undue mortality of boys, and will be rever
sed before the close of the strange, eventful
history. More than a quarter of these chil
dren will die before they are five years old—
in exact numbers, 141,387 boys 121,795
girls. The two sexes are now nearly on a
level. The next five years will be much
less fatal. In the succeeding five years
from ten to fifteen—the mortality will be
still further reduced. Indeed, for both sexes,
this is the most healthful period of life, the
death rate, however, is lower for boys than
for girls.
There will be some advance in deaths in
the next five years, and still more in the
next five years, and still more in the five
which follow, hut 534,045 will certainly en
ter on their twenty-sixth year. Before the
next ten years are at an end, two-thirds of
the women will have married. The deaths
during that period will be 62,052, and of
those no few’er than 27,134 will be caused by
consumption. Between thirty five and forty
five a still larger “death roll” will be paid,
and little more than half the original band—
inexact numbers, 502,915 - will enter on
their year. Each succeeding de
cade, up to seventy-five, will now become
more fatal, and the numbers will shrink ter
ribly. At seventy-five only 161,224 will re
main to be struck down, and of these 122,-
549 will have perished by the eighty-fifth
year of the inarch.—The 38,556 that remain,
will goon lay down their burdens; but 2,151
of them will struggle on to be ninety-five,
and 223 to be one hundred years old. Fi
nally, in the lJSth year of the course, the
last solitary life will flicker out. Such then,
is the average lot of a million men and
women.
Western Trout Fond ot Whisky
Last night Squire Meador and Judge Bon
aifield arrived here from Winnemucea, the
latter on a hunting and fishing excursion
When the Judge gravely announced that he
was going to fish everybody looted incred
ulous, for the river is high and the water
muddy. The Judge, however, quietly pre
pared his bait, put his hooks and lines in
order, and this morning started "to the river.
About U o’clock he made his appearance
with eight of the finest trout I ever saw
This surprised even the Piutes. His hooks
and lines were examined and found to be of
the ordinary kind, but the bate had a pecul
iar smell and upon investigation were lounil
to be nothing more nor less than pieces ol
beef soaked in a mixture of sugar, whiskey,
and port wine. The news spread among
the Piutes, and they are swarming here
from all directions and catching many fine
trout.— Winnemucea Silver State.
Sale of the Steven* Battery.
New York, March 30.—The nego
tiations are in piogreas for the sale
of the celebrated Stevens Battery to
a European power. It was stated
to-day that Captain Samuels is con
ducting the negotiation on the part of
New Jersey commissioners appointed
by the Legislature. The battery
lies at Hoboken, where a visit was
paid to-day by Captain Samuels and
the representatives of the Govern
ment interested in the purchase. It
is understood that the sum asked tor
the battery is one-and-a-half million
dollars. The amount already expen
ded on it is about two-and-a-balf
millions, and a further expenditure
of about 500,0u0 dollars will be re
quired to finish the battery and
transport it to Europe.
Good Advice.
Now is the time of year for Pneumonia.
Lung Pever, <fcc. Every family should
have a bottle of Boschee’s German Syrup
Don’t allow for one moment that cough to
take hold of your child, your family or
yourself. Consumption, Asthma, Pneu
monia, Croup. Hemorrhages, and other
fatal diseases may set in. Although it is
true German Byrup is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet It Is much
better to have it at hand when three do
ses will cure you. One bottle will last
your whole family a winter and keep you
safe from danger. If you are consump
tive, do not rest until you have tried this
r emedy. Sample bottles 10 cents. Reg
ular 8120 75 cents. Sold by your Drug
