LQYE'SJESSQNS,
A little babe lies sleeping
' ''r'UrVm its mother bleatl,
While she, with brow unshadowed,
Walchelh its tranquil rest ;
Geiitly its 'blue eye opens,
And llle'hinii ioolc dwelling there,
Tells that ltsbcir( ialearnlng
Whst'LoVe's first lessons are.
Months pass that child la playing
Amid the household butiil,
Brother's and sisters sporting
' Together hand In hand J
Affection's chain ia lengtheninc;,
Its golden lltllis Ihcrease,
And the little heart expandeth
In Innocence and peace.
. Years, fly. A fair girl listens
- With tfdrm blush on her cheek
To one who now,,rlght earnestly,
Of Ills deep love dotli speak ;
His low and tender accents
Each spirit chord can thrill,
And she is strangely happy,
Tho' tears her bright eyes fill.
And the maiden little drcamcth
Tha any other love,
One half as pure, apd fervent,
And strong as that can prove
For' 111 ey say tbe beart'a first visions
Ever the brightest seem
That there is naught In after life
Like Love's Voting, blissful dream.
Again the picture changes
Girlhood hath passed away,
And a wife now numbly kneeleth
For her husband's weal to pray:
And the sscred tie that binds her
To the pnrlner'of.her life,
With a deeper,'holier oy, than all,
Youth's wild romance, is rife.
" Another change a mother'
O'er the cradle bendeth low,
And gaietli long and steadfastly
Upnu her firstborn's brow. - '",,'J
Fondly her heart is clinging
Unto that fragile (lower, - i
And a love her soul Is filling ' ",
Unfeit until tbnt hour.-
Tbus,year by year, new fountains
Of love are Springing tip,
'Eaoh'Jviiging added, sweetness
Into liTe'f epaYkling cupj

' As "tittle flies swiftly o'er,
And it never loves an fondly
, That it Itcan love no more!

"What a sweet little girl! Blesi me!
how my heart ripens to receive her!" cried
old Slrs.auJs. rubbing to tbe cradle of
ber grandchild in a transport of afiectiou
for tbe helpless thing wjioni sba:,ncrv saw

looking with pride upon her tlrst-born,
aud wondering in ber ignorance, if all
babies ere so disposed to cry, swallow
Iheir-flsla, and be otherwihe tronbledome.
"Don't you and Charles set a store by
her?"'pnrsued tho tldcr !ady, taking the
baby from the cradle, and henvily resting
hertelf iu a rocking-choir close at hand.
"Of course! She's a world of trouble.
though.-'But do, mother,- remove jour

of your head to the solo 'ofjybur foot. I

There's none like it wbero you camettrom'.
now din 1 ever manage to pats my girl
hood there?"
A Volume of reproof rnabed to Mrs.
Sands' lips,; but- she would not, permit
nersell to utter a, word of it ,
' Come, do rimove those odious things
Tbey'lnok ancient enough for the faah.
ions of Noah's times. What if one of my
fashionable, intimate friends should drcp
in unceremonious!.)? Do throw off your J
cloak and bonnet, mother!'
'Yes, in a rainn'te. ' First let me take
my ftll of looking at baby. A darling
littlo treasure. Grandma is glad to see
ber. Her? we go up, up, up; and here
we go lown, down, downy. Grandma's
precious little darling, that's what it isl"
And baby looked aa surprised ai sbe
could at ber'fnniiy travels up and down
in the lap of tb ; affectionate stranger,
whose voice and smiles were so hearty
and gladsome.
'I do believe tbe little darling knows
I'm ber grandmother. Didn't sbe.sort of
smile then?"
"I don't know. Sbe often twibls ber
face up in that way.' -I wish she would
n't, it makes ner.look.so ugly," said Mrs.
Lowell, weariedly.
"Lud! then, if it wasn't a smile, may.
be it's the cello! Have you any medicine
for it? Bring me the bottle, if you bave.
It is a dreadful disease very swift aud
sure. It bas filled many a little grave,
as scores on score of riven hearts attest,
Martha. It must be attended to right
away; There's a great degree of mortali
ty among infants now. Owing to care
lessness, most xf it, 1 reckon. Have yon
brought the .botlle; daughter?"
"What a fusser you are, motberl Tbe
baby is as free from' colic as we-are.'"
'I don't know, Martha; I wonldnt
have' ber suffrr for our not finding ont
what ails ber, for the world. Babies have
died through ignorance or carelessness
of their nurses, yon know," replied the
old lady.looking anxiously npon the con
torted little face pillowed- against ber
loviog bosom.
"I declare, mother, yon're as bad as
Charles; I call him tbe 'old 'woman,' be
cause be is such an egregious croaker. I
surmise I shall bave a rich time with two
aucb."
"I am glad bo does take, such deep in
terest in the poor thiug. It's a sign he'll
make a good father if he's so attentive to
his first baby,"
"FinsT baby! Goodness gracious!"
cried Martba,
"Didn't I bring np ten cfai!dren,daugb
tor?" demanded the'oldlady, iubigu dis
pleasure at Martha's manner.' '
"Yes, apd more's the pity,"
"Did you eye r bear me compla!u?"-con-
tinued Mrsi Sands, in a solemnly reprov
ing manner.
"Well'-no'; I can't say that I ever did.
Bat then you never tared to go from
borne. You liked tbe Chimney corner,
"I'm ihahklnl you remember that,
Martha."
" "Iti short, mother, wo are so totally
unlike, that you witl ni verbs able to nn
derstand me when I say, that I am bored
to death by the enrrs of maternity."
''Charles never thinks baby a bore?'
questioned Mrs. Sauds, as she pressed a
kiss on the wrinkled little forehead of her
new and deeply loved eartb-tio.
"He! No, indeed. I wish be would
leave his business wholly and attend only
to ber!"
"There, hush! silly girl; you don't
know what you are talking ofl"
"I-do. I wish I had married Wealth
enough' for that purpose," Baid Mrs. Low-
ell. shrugging her ivory shoul era, and
laughing merrily.
"Oh! Martha! Marthal"
"Whafs the.matter, mother?"
"I gtleve that you do not see how pre
cious a gem yenr Heavenly Father has
committed to yo'ur care."
' 'I don't see how precious it i ! (Humph
what ami' then?' Have I no claims to be
considered?) Precious? I guess I do know
bow precious my gem is, when I receive
invitations I cannot accept on account
of it the little plague!"
"Bat, daughter, you will be held ac
countable ior tbe possession of this little
plagne; the polishing aright of so fine a
gem you cannot disregard. Poor little
dependent creature!" and tbe grandmoth
er's tears bathed the face of tbe hapless
infant, wmderment seemed to increase.
. '.'What a dear, funny, good-hearted
thing you are, mother! Of cou;se I love
my child;. Every mother does that. I
mean to do first-rate by it, educate it to
dance and sing divinely, and all that sort
of thing, you know."
"Educate it for heaven, daughter."
Mrs. Lowell yawned again; then, gath
ering up her mother's much derided,
though well-preserved cloak and bonnet,
she left the room, humming an operalie
air.
It is well for childhood when it is bless
ed with grandpnrentnl love and interest.
Grandparent! what teuder memories and
heapa of bonbons tbe-Jear words pre
sents! What volumes of pet names, warm
defences' against deserved punishment;
folios of, ala! too often; undeserved
prniies; and well'told atorits from books,
scenes, or times, "aged" years ngo! What
histories of jysaugmcnled.o'f griefs sub
dued nnd vanquished, through re-ady, ac
tive, loving sympathies, that tbe "narrow
bomb' jlrew;freun us',, leaving us filfed as
never before with tnrtnriug appreciation
of tbe dear souls, not lost bnt gone before.
Some time afttr, Mrs. Lowell saiu, one
day, ,
"Mother, suppose you and father take
the hou.o opposite. Yon say you think
of leaving Bellville. It would be pleas
ant to have you so near.".
"We have lately thought of leaving
Bellville. Fathr'r and I have talked it
over. Tbe children are alt married."
Here tho old lady paused. She did
not utter what her senses too snrely re
alized, tbat'none of her ten children but
Martha needed her constant attention.
Many an hour, in ber three mouths' visit,
had been made wretched by this painful
conviction.
"Will you walk over lo the house with
me, Charles, after breakfast?"
"Yef, moVjer."
"Won't Martba go with us, my son?"
"We had better not disturb her, moth
er. Sbe needs sleep this morning, as she
wai out lato last night at the ball, poor
thing!"
Charles, too, bad a heavy heart. He
could.not speak of tbe failings of onn so
near and dear to him. But Mrs. SandH
knew bow many struggles between love
and dnly tormented him.
"I thought if you could live opposite
you wonld look after baby," added
Cbarles,wlth painful hes!tancy,and flash
ed cheek,
"My dear son," sobbed the old lady,
taking bis hand in both of hers, "we must
hope for the best.,"
"I do; and trust that when my little
wife is older she will take less pleasure
in mere amusements. I think that day
will come."
The house opposite was Uken.by Mrs.
Sands forthwith.
The "little plague" is grown np has
come out baa admirers by tbe score, i
bat a mass of finances and furbelows!
What a show of affectation and emptiness!
What a display of selfishness and obsti
nacy! Martha looks with admiration npon
her work, yet secretly envies it the youth
and beauty that she has lost. Charles
Bees, too, this, mpekeix. pQrue woman
hood, and, with unseen tears, and un
heard prayers, hopes for the best yet to
come out of chaos. But he wishes that
his dear mother-in-law had lived until
his child bad groan np; ami wouders if
it was mercy, or kindness, or love, that
took her away "when sbe was so much
needed.
Vet mother and child vote Charles a
"bore," and keep from blm many an item
which he oogbt to know.
A rnn-away match follows fast. The
"little plague" dared to ma'ke it. This is
the drop too much in th cup of Charles.
He sinks into bis grave bemoaning the
fate that gave his daughter sncb a hue
baud. Time passes. The ill-matched hate,
where once they loved ; and by this hatred
lose their last chance of happiness and
safety. Misery follows fast; then comes
tba last link in such a matrimonial chain;
nnbapplness, poverty, sepsration.
A dying Magdalen! Obi where ,a gad
der sight?
As the earth rattles npon the coffin of

Seasons of low water in the lakes of

for adding to bnr knowledge of tbe an

In a recent lecture, Prof. Edward
Frankland stated that six millions of tons
of coal are probably burned in London
during the winter months, and tbe quan
tities of steam, soot, tar and sulphurous
acid discharged into tbe air as products
of this combustion are enormous. These
products nnite to form tbe London fogs.
Steam supplies the basis of all fog, and
tbe vapor particles become covered with
tar, which renders them more permanent;
dirt is necessary to produce fog, while
sulphurous acid promotes it. Dr. Frank
land illustrated these points by experi
ment To prove tba effect ol dirt in tbe
air be filled a large flask with moist air
freed from dirt by filtering, then cooled
the flask, when a slight mist was formed
which disappeared in a moment; repeat
ing the experiment with air containing
its normal charge of dirt, the fog was
much more dense and lasting. Tarry
matters render fogs persistent by retard
ing evaporation. He believe that tbe
general snbsitution of anthracite for bi
tuminous coal would do much towsrd
freeing tbe metropolis from its fogs, as
tba discharge of tar and soot into the at
mosphere wonld be vastly lessened.
