FRIDAY. . FEBRUARY 23, 1S78. Measuring- tlie Baby. w( measured the riotous lby Aeatnst tbe coUage wall A Uv em P l 'e threshold, An the babjv was Just as tall! AwSwS of purple and gold, And heart HKe a Jeweled chalice The fragrant dew to hold. Without, the blue-bird whittled High up In the old roof-tree. And to and fro at the window The rod rose rocked her bees; And the wee, pink fists of the baby "W ere never a moment still. Snatching at shine and shadow That danced on the iattlce-stU. Hl eyes were as wide a blue-bells Ills mouth like a Sower unblown Two little bare feet like funny while mice Peeped out from his Miowy gown; And we thought, with a thrill of rapture That yet had a touch of pain, When June rolls round with her roses We'll measure the boy again. Alt me! In a darkened chamber, With the sunshine stmt away. Through tears that fell like bitter rain Wo measured the boy to-day. And tlx little bare feet that were dimpled, And sweet as a budding rose. Lay side bv side together In tin' hush or long repose. Upmi the dainty ptliow. White as the risen dawn. The fair little face lay smiling, With the light of heaven thereon And the dear little band like rose leaves Dropped from a rose lay still, Kever to snatch at the sunshine That crept to the shrouded sill. We measured the sleeping baby. With ribbons white as snow, For the shining rosewood casket That waited him below; And out of the darkened rham ber We went with a childless moan To the light of the sinless augels Uur little one had grown ! Gramhesma and her Little Heart-Leaves. UiHter an old oak, before a little cot tage in tlte forest, grandma sat busily Have yon ever seen a grandmother ,n. ' ...... i t i . . wiinoui. khi mug won; . i never navu. As soon as she gets up in tho morning the neeidles begin to click, the fingers are busy making stitches, and the yarn gets shorter as tlte stockings longer. This work is not laid aside until late in the evening, when she goes to bed. Yes, if grandtnania lias no sewing to do, then she continues to knit, whether sho is in the garden, sitting before the door, or taking a walk in the woods. Oftentimes her ball falls and goes roil ing about here and there, like a little mouse, and when it gets all covered with the dry leaves and mosses that will cling to it, then it does not look very nice. Rut the worst of it is, if Mi-tze should see the ball roiling, she would spring for the little round thing that glides so quickly about, even if she were upon the roof of the house. She fancies it to be a tempting mouse. When she catches the ball she plays with it, tosses it about hither and thither, until the yarn gets in such a dreadful snarl, that it gives grand mother a great deal of trouble to disen taugte it. Rut for whom does grandmother knit so much? Her little grandchildren, of course; ami also for Iter dear daughter, the mother of the grandchildren, who is always busy with other work, and for her little darlings' fattier, too.

I think if it were possible WOJlhl I; 11 it, Kinpkinrrs for 41in sparrows too; but they would look com ical enough wearingstockings, wouldn't Grandmama was seated under the old oak with her grandchildren her little "Heart-Leaves." They were named Hermann ami Gertrude, but grand mantn liad given her darlings the pet names 01 "nine mouse," "little gold flsli " "hlr!i" nrwl ! ibio The children liked sitting under the oaK very mHcu indeed, for they hail onlv In Imw flioir linsila si-linn Int (1,,,,. would llnd beautiful toys, such as the acorn cuius of last year, and different kums or insects that were beautiful to see. Among them was the "lady-bug" and wee bit of purple spiders, that were just as pretty as pretty could be. And such velvety mosses were there, too! re sembling miniature trees. Yes, itwasa complete jiuie moss lorest. But the moss forest was very differ ent from the great forest, not however because it was so much smaller, but be cause the children could make a bed of it under the oak and tumble about on it asthey pleased. There were two other persons under the oak besides grandmother, Hermann and Gertrude. Upon the bod of moss sat Kicks and Lize. Nicks was a iittle black wooden rabbit, plump as possible, with a bright, glossy skin. Even if he were made of wood he looked about him with his black eyes, just as if lie were alive, and his ears stood straight up in the air and made him look funny enough. He seemed to understand everything that was going on about him. Suppose the skin over the ears had bit rated and showed two pointed fires, it made no difference to him. Nicks had just eaten his supper, and there was some of it left. Now he must smoke just as Hermann's father did, when he sat before the door after tho day's work was done. Hermann called Nicks his son, and Hermann's parents were Nieks' grand parente, ami Hermann's grandmama was little Nicks' great-grandmama. iUis relationship could be quite easily traced. Nick's play-fellow was Gertmde's pretty Use, with her stub nose. This little nose made her somewhat resemble Nicks, but she did not look like him in any other respect Xifiks had lilnclr m-w dm l.n.i t.i... 1 .ltu UlUl', lie had long ears; her's were tiny bits of oues: ne imu uiacK skiii anu wore a red collar with a little bell, while her tiress was a variety or colors. To be sure sits irnrA n ml ruvkla lint flint. it was made of beads and there was no ueu attached to it; in a word, Lize was not a raooit, mil a uou. These play-fellows lived very harmon iously together, even if there were so little resemblance in their looks. They would ilay with cacli other by the hour aim were never iiearu to quarrel. It often happened that Nicks would tread upon Lize, but she bore his treat ment without a murmur. Gertrude would never have allowed Hermann to ve,trod ,,erder foot, and if he could f.Um 7e bcen 80 Impolite as to have ?unuiXw!ter' 1 fCar Ehe W0U,d rC friemlk' ill' t who,e icks was very joi?rki4 m,,?nd s,,e ,iatl may wca0ionat!v"1.hlh,?

The children often laughed richlhear tily nl thegeuerous, stupid fellow. Thorp wore a great many little jokes related ofNieks and Lize, which grandmother generally heard first, forshe always had time to listen to them. Herknlltingworkwflsneverlaidaside, evon though she wa occupied with the children. The parents had so much to do, that they could not always be pret- j ent when the children wished to tell their little stories. It was very fortunate for Hermann nndGertrudc thatgrandmamahad come to live with them in their forest home. Formerly she had dwelt in the city and taught school. Every day there came a ....i r i:4t l - ...i- j-i . i she gave lessons, Now she had grown feeble and could not endure the noiseandcliattering buzz that so many merry little birds made when they came together. For tills rea son she had come to live with her two lit tle woodland songsters, Hermann and Gertrude, who were not always as still as mice; but there was but two of them, and their noise did not disturb her so much. When grandmama and the children sat before the door, the little ones would repeat the verses which she had taught them from time to time. This was al ways a great pleasure for grandmama, forshe had taught her grandchildren as she had formerly her pupils. She re lated useful things to tliem, explained all that they could not understand, and repeated pretty verses until they had learned them by heart. "You must remember," grandmother would say, while sho embraced the chil dren, "all that I have thought on my little heart-leaves." "Grandmother," asked Hermann, looking about him thoughtfully, "why do you always call us your little heart leaves?" "I will explain to you why, mj dar ling," said his grandmother, "but listen to what I say, and you, too, pay atten tion, Gertrude. A plant's heart-leaves arc the youngest, smallest leaves, just as you are tbe youngest members of our family. If the heart-leaves drop then all the other leaves of the plant wither, so when you arc sick father, mother and I am sorrowful." "Once and awhile children have another kind of illness, that a plant's heart-leaves could have, if they wore disobedient. Alas! the disobedience of children makes the father and mother far, far sadder. God keen you from such sickuess, my sweet little heart-leaves." How to Tit eat Strangers. A home missionary in the West, wliiie address ing a babbath School, noticed a little girl, shabbily dressed and barefooted, shrinking in a corner, her little sun burnt face buried in her hauds, tho tears trickling between her small fingers, sobbing as if her heart would break. Soon another little sir!, about eleven years old, got up and went to her, wiiispcreu Kiuuiy to uer, anil taKing nor by tho hand, led her toward n brook. then seated her on a log, ami kneeling beside her, took off her ragged sun-bonnet. Thou she dipped her hand in the water, bathed the hot eyes autl tear- stained face, and smoothed the tangled hair, talking in a cheery manner all the while. The little one brightened up, the tears all went, and smiles came creeping around the rosy mouth. The missionary stepped forward and said: "Is that your sister, my dear?" "No, sir," answered the noble child, with tender, earnest eyes; "I have no sister." "Oil! one of tho neighbor's children." replied the missionary, "a little school mate, perhaps?" "No, sir; she is a stranger. I do not know where she came from. I never saw her before." "Then how came yon to take her out and have such a care for her, if you do not know her?" "Because she ttws a stranger, sir, and seemed all alone, and needed .somebody to be kind to her." Noble lesson will you all heed to it? "Woman's Rights Hidiculeu. A very popular drama for amateur actors lias lieen "The Spirit of Seventy-six," which gives a ludicrous travesty of the demands of the-slrong-miiided women, who are supposed, in the year 1870, to have quite got the control of things gen erally, and to have banished the men to the kitchen and nursery. Everybody who hears it enjoys it, except, of course, those who have the cause considerably at heart. A drama of similar snirit 1ms just been published in Calcutta, entitled jvuium umuyomi, me uumor oi which consists in holding up to ridicule tlie I JJrahmo ladies of the nrosressiveseetion. ' These ladies are so far in advance of their age that they have brazenly at- tended their husbands to places of pub- lie amusement, and some of them liavn 1 been known to forget so far the decency of their sex as to sit down at the same table and eat with their husbands and brothers.

The vagaries of fashion and style are powerful in every clime. Fond par ents in China squeeze their daughter's feet till the little maiden is maimed for life, and unfit for any active occupation. Among us, matters are carried just as far; for we suffer our daughter's lungs to be compressed Into the narrowest space we cannot compress her brains; for, if she had any, she would not sub mit to the squeezing process and the paler and thinner she becomes, the greater is our complacency. She caii not take any exercise, forit is so fatigue ing. She cannot eat much, poor thing, for sho lias no appetite. She can only pick at this dish and sip of that. The fresh airis tabooed as unhealthy, aud she lives in an artificially heated atmos phere.

Jewish Messenger. At length it is nroved that a man has more vanity than a woman. This is the way it come to pass. A curious investi gator watched while a thousand men passed a looking-glass used as a sign on the sidewalk in Broadway.

The proprietor has taken mnrh pains to lest the comiMirative merits of the principal Worm Medicines of tho day, which, numerous as the Entozoa thei -"Ives, have overspread the land, each lming lor Itself the name of spe cific; and. while we frankly acknowledge that many of tnem are often successful, and do great good, were we not nssured that this combines' advantages possessed by no other worm medi cine, Its Introduction at this late day would cot have been attempted. Tho pleasant taste and exceedingly small quantity of this medicine required to test the existence, of worms, or to remove every one front tho system its operating in a few hours, unaided by any other purge, together with its certainty of cllvct, constitute It one of the most brilliant discoveries of tbe age. Had we space here, scores of certificates might be adduced to show its progressive and rapidly Increasing reputation lor the last few venrs; but to promulgate Its fame and estab lish its character, we only ask for a trial. Its sneody operation In all sudden nttacks, ns convulsions, colic, fits or spasms, gives It an unrivaled superiority. Sent by express on re celrt of price. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.

I'f'uclple, possesses the neces sary virtue or being a 3?owex-iul O?oiiie, Promoting the Appetite and Invigorating the whole Digestive Appuratus, thus building up and strengthening tlie system, while at the same time the volatile principle, lwlng ab sorbed in tlie blood, acts specifically on tlie Rheumatic Itoison, removing It from the circu lation and system. There lire Tew remedies known to the Medical Profession which will remove the Rheumatic I'oUon from the blood, but whose action is so powerful In depressing the system of the al ready enfeebled Rheumatic patient, that their use has to be abandoned before specific cltects are obtainable, and hence the want of success In treating this prevalent and consequently heretofore Incurable d Lease. Unlike these medicines, already known, the UNK WEED REMEDY.nlthongh producing as active and as powerful effects on the blood and system in re moving the Rheumatic Pol .on, nlo possesses a strong Tonic and Recuperating Element which admits of its continued use even bythemo-t delicate and debilitated. Thus we have the combination for the first time of these tvo necessary elements In one remedy, which ac counts forlts.superiorandnever-ntillng curative ellects in Rheumatism Rheumatic Uout and Rheumatic Pains or all kinds. 2f. lt.
