I hold two dainty little feet iy
Clasped in my warm and loving hand;
80 soft and pink, they sure must be -y
Two rose-leaves blown from fairyland.
I hold a wee and helpless form
Pressed closely to my happy heart—
Why, baby !—mine by right divine—
The right of pain—a mother's part.
0 beauteous life! so fair and new, .
That yesterday was blent with mine!
O wondrous soul! so lately sprung
A sparklet from the Source Divine!
God's priceless gift, you come lo me
Embodied in this little form;
My soul accepts its happiness
As flowers the sunshine soft and warm,
My brow seems decked by coronet,
The fairest earth has ever seen
The disndem of motherhood-
"Is Nature's band that crowns me queeR.
What realms are opened to my sight!
1 tread the regions of the blest
And all because this little form
Lies fair and helpless on my breast,
A tiny bud, whose flower completa
May bloom to bless my Walling years.
O motherhood! you hold a bliss
That Lost may be expressed in tears

Hew Process of Steel Manufacture.
A new process of steel manufacture has
been established at Manchester, England,
It is termed a direct process, and is a com
promise between the Dessemer and the cru-
cible processes. An advantage secured is
that baked moulds are dispensed with, the
castings being made entirely in green sand,
go that the many severe internal
caused by hard moulds at the time of cooling
are avoided. Thus they produce steel castings
which are practically free from blowholes
and shrinkage, notwithstanding that metal
out of one ladle can be indiscriminately
poured into elevator bucket moulds less than
one-eighth of an inch thick, or into moulds
for heavy crank shafts —Scientific Journal.

About daylight upon the Sunday of his
death Mrs. Jackson informed him that his
recovery was very doubtful, and that it was
better that he should be prepared for the
worst,
He was silent for a moment and then sald:
#1¢ will be infinite gain to be transiated to
heaven.” He advised his wife, in the event
of his death, to return to her father's hots,
and added: “You have a kind and good
father, but there is no one so kin 1 and good
as your Heavenly Father.”
He still expressed a hope that he would
recover, but requestad his wife, iu oase he
should die, to have him buried in Lexington,
jn the valley of Virginia His exhaustion
increased so rapidly that at 11 o'clock Mrs.
Jackson knelt by his bed and told him that
before the sun went down he would be with
his Savior.
He replied: “0, no! You are frightened
my child. Death is not so near 1 way yet

She fell upon the bed weeping bitterly,

Fleetrotypes made of Nickel
Electrotypes of woodcuts are vow ad
yantageously made of nickel up to the milli
metre thick. The advantages over copper
are the hardness, toughness, non-liability to
oxidation and the proportionately low price,
Although at present such nickel type are of
a cost much in excess of copper ones, they
are said to stand ten times the number of
impressions and s¥low the use of colors which
would attack copper. Boston Budget.
