EEEIMEME!
Come, stand by my knee, little children,
Too weary for laughter or song;
The sports of the daylight are over,
And evening is creeping along;
The snow-fields are white in the moonlight,
The winds of the Winter are chill,
Bat under the sheltering root-tree

Your cheeks they are ruddy and warm;
But out in the cold of the Winter
Is many a shivering tuna.

And babes that are pining for bread;

From whose tender hand you are fed.

And tell me, through all the long day,
'Have you thought of the Father above us,
Who guarded front evil your way?

And careth for great and for small;
In life and death, little children,
His love is the truest of all.
Now go to your rest, little children,
And over your innocent sleep,
Unseen by your vision, the angels
Their watch thro' the darkness shall keep
Then pray that the Shepherd, who guideth

A Royal Baby Show

of Wales and th,-ir child to Denmark. Hero
is a seeme in which "that blessed baby" ex
tensively tiattre The King of Denmark, it
appears, has a little chateau at Bernstortf,
near Fredensborg, a short distance from
Copenhagen, and what frrlbrws occurred
when the people saw the Princess of Wales
at one of the upper windows, holding in her
arms the small unconscious heir to England's
greatness, swaddled in blue garments. The
crowd was delighted, and gave vent to re
newed crins of pleasure; but still greater
happiness was in stare for it. The King
came forward and took the baby from the
arms of the two ladies who held it between
them The crowd became enthusiastic. He
dandled the baby up and down. The feeling
of the crowd were becoming almost too
intense. It was-only possible to improve the
situation in one way, but even this improve
ment was brought about, the Prince of
Wales was induced to come forward to the
little window where all these performances
took place; and he in his turn took the baby
in his arms, with the natural awkwardness
of an Englishman called upon to be theatrical
in his behavior, and exhibited himself in the
character of a father to the people below.
With unruffled equanimity the baby permit
ted himself to be dandled up and down, and
the crowd shrieked in ecstacy, The tact that
the baby did Lot cry during these operations
is adduced by the English papers as an
evidence of his royal birth, and of an innate
disposition to wear honors and be exhibited
to public gaze quietly.

like most of his co-religionists, lie re

Mayer Anselm to tile post. The se

charge of his cash, amounting to several
millions of florins. With the instinct of

wealth and power of the live Roths
childs was vested in the eldest burn ;
nevertheless, the shrewdest of the sous
of Mayer Ansehn, and the heir of his
genius, Nathan, ti , e third , son, soon
took the reins of Government into his
own hands. By his fitith in Welliwg
ton and the flesh and muscle of British
soldiers, he dearly do :bled the fortune
of the family, gaining mor e than a mil
lion steeling by the sole battle of Wat

England two days earlier than the mail.
Time weight of the solid millions grad
ually transferred the ascendency in the
family from Germany to Englatid, mak
ing London the metropolis of the reign
ing dynasty of Rothschild.
Like the royal families of Europe, the
members of the house of Rothschild
only intermarry with each other.—
James Rothschild married the daughter
of his brother Solomon , his son Ed
mond, heir-apparent of the French hue,
was united to his first cousin, the
daughter of Lionel, and grand-daughter
of.Ngthen Rothschild ; awl Lionel' again
married—M. P. for London-gave his
hand, in 183 G, to his fast cousin Char

*child of NapleS. It is unnecessary to
say, that, though these matrimonial
al
liances have kept the millions , •wonder-;
fully together, they have not improved

A mother, on the green hills of Ver
mont, stood at her garden gate ; by her
right hand a son of sixteen years old,
mad with the love of the sea. "Ed
ward," said she, "they tell me that the
great temptation of a seaman's life is
drink. Promise me, befire you quit
your mother's hand, that you never will
drink." Said he, for he told me, the
story, "I gave her the promise. I went
the broad globe over—Calcutta, the
Mediterranean, San Francisco, the Cape
of Good Hope—and, during forty years,
whenever I saw a glass filled with spark
hug liquor, my mother's form by the
garden gate, on the hill-side ,c I j--

Useless Young Ladies
A contemporary thus seriously speaks
of that very large class of useless young
ladies who glory in being above useful
employment :
The number of idle, useless giils in
all our large cities seem to be steadily
iiiereasing. They lounge or sleep
their mornings, parade the
i't2t2t during the afternoon, and assiln
iiie in frivolous companies of their own
and other sex, to riss away their even
inos. - What a store (if unhappiness for
themes Ives and others are they laying
up for the coining tiinc, when vet)l do
tics and high responsibilities shall be
tin iughtlessly asstunA r They :re
in no domestic duties—nay,
they d e spise them : have no Imbits of in
dustry nor taste ilar the useful. What
will they be as wives and mothers ?
Alas for the linsbands and children, and
alas fir themselves! Who can wonder
if domestic unhappiness and domestic
ruin follow.

Sir Wiliam Napier was one day takin , , ,
a long country walk near Freshtbrd,
when he met a little gad, about five years
old, sobbing over a broken bowl; she
had dropped and broken it in bringing
it back fivm the field to which had
taken her father's dinner in it, and she
said she would be beaten on her return
home for having broken it; then, with
a sudden gleam of hope, she innocently
looked up into his flee andsaid, But ye
can mend it, can't yet' My father ex
plained that he could not mend the bowl,
bat the trouble he c:ald, by the gift of:a
sixpence to buy another. However,
on opening his purse it was empty of
silver, and he has to make amends by
promising to meet his little friend in
the same hour next day, and to bring a
sxpenee with him, bidding her, mean
while, tell her mother she had seen a
genthnen who would bring her the
money for the bowl the next clay. The
child, entirely trusted him, went on her
way comforted. On his return home
he found an invitation awaiting him to
dine in Bath the following evening to
meet some one Whom he specially wished
to see.
He hesitated for some little time, try
in~ to calculate the possibility of giving
the meeting to his little friend of the
broken bowl and of still being in time
for the dinner party iu Bath; bat find
ing this could not be ; he wrote to de
cline acaepting the invitation on the
plea of a 'pre-engagement,' saying to

My Childhood Days.
Oh give me back my childhood (lays--
The (lays of sweetest pleasure here
When basking 'neath those sunny rays—
A father's eye, a mother's tear.
Oh give me back the sunny hours
Of }oath's bright morn, when I was young,
When my light heart felt not the power
Which o'er it since has heavy hung.
Oh give me back that garden fair
With all its trees and blooming flowers,
Whose buds I twined among the hair
Of her I loved in chilli„-..1
Oh give me too that mossy bank,
The old oak tree with drooping bough,
Where I such happy hours have spent,
Aiid feel that I could do so cow.
UL giv;: me back those shady liinei,
With hrane! , es bending o'er the stream,
'Neath ,s - hose cool shade, in summer,
I'd sit and read some pleasing theme.
Oh give 1110 back my childhood days,
The suu that gleam'd upon icy heart,
IVlien hope rode buoyant o'er the waves,
And seem'd as though we ne'er could put.
Oh maiden, give that promise now,
That you once gave when we were young,
And proutiz,:e,d, too, w;th sacred vow,
To love me as life's course we rim
Oh dive we back the woodland dell,
The birds, the trees, the flowers so fair;
Oh give we all I loved so well
When lay young heart was free front care
But let me now forget the past,
And cast the dreamy thoughts away;
We know that childhood cannot last,
'Ls as the sun's fast flitting ray.
Now, since these worldly- joys had . fled,
My hope and love for them have past;
Let, then, a brighter sun now shed
Its glory o'er me, which may last.
Let my heart soar to pleasures far

Let it seek joys t 1 at naught can mar
Along the streams which peaceful Ilovi

"What will thee call her, friend Rob-
Thi
The smiling young- city g.,emleman of
whom this question was asked, widened
the curve of his lip by a broader
as he replied in a cheery voice, "I don't
know, Aunt Rebecca, that we shall find
any name good enough;" and then the
laugh in his heart gushed out in a merry
leap, and broke into waves of music,
that floated in the air until they melted
away in the rays of the sun.
That beautiful June had brought
rare girls of rosy-crosvned days zuel
peaceful of singing. birds and
incense of roses, but fin• one home it
had held a inure precious gift than all,
even a little human life, who- e taunt cries
had been the key-note in many hearts
to a very sweet song of thanksgiving *
It was a very pleasant home and
warm hearts that welcomed the little
stranger; Robert wilson, Aunt -Re
becca, the kind Quakeress, the gentle
mother, and Willie and Ray, baby's
brothers. Willie was a stout, manly
boy, always playing colt, and whipping
-his little square boots to put more hie
into them. Ray was only three, but
his great black eyes opened wider and
wider at all the netc things he discov
ered, or thought he did, and that was
just as well. Willie and Ray bad
been a fine little span, but baby intftr
fered there, for Ray had eyes and ears
for nothing else but her. lie would
watch over it very tenderly when Aunt
Rebecca laid it in the crib; and though
he was one day detected in the act of
slipping a lump of sugar between its
lips, and again smoothing its bare head
with the clothes brush, yet these things
only proved his love, and found so ready
au echo in other hearts, that no reproof
was administered to the ?Icing rogue.
But Ray soon lonia that something '
was wanting, and one day, after his
eves had been fora long time studying
force in the cradle, and his mamma's
eyes as intently watching him, and wou
derin,, with a mother's earnestness what.
her boy wuuld learn to love to look up
on in those years that seemed so filr
away, when the thoughts of manhood
should drive away uhildhoOd cares, he
turned quickly saying:,
'llannua, baby has not- any name ;
that's too bad."
Now, Ray was one of those busy
minds which, having once found a new
idea,. follows to the .end, and often dur
ing the day he would go, now to maul , -
ma, and then to Aunt. Rebeeea, begging
a name for the baby, until he was told
to wait patiently until evening, and-they
~would talk about it. As Gaon as tea
