What is the little one thinking about ;. Very wonderful thinjrs, no doubt. Yet he laughs and cries, and eats and drinks. And ohuekles and crows, and nods and winks As if his head were so full of kinks And curious riddles as any sphinx ! Warped by colic and wet by tears. Punctured by pins, and tortured by fears, Our little nephew will lose two years; And he'll never know Where the summers go. He needn't laugh for he'll find it so!

What is the little one thinking about ;. Very wonderful thinjrs, no doubt. Yet he laughs and cries, and eats and drinks. And ohuekles and crows, and nods and winks As if his head were so full of kinks And curious riddles as any sphinx ! Warped by colic and wet by tears. Punctured by pins, and tortured by fears, Our little nephew will lose two years; And he'll never know Where the summers go. He needn't laugh for he'll find it so! This is from the genial pen of that wholesome writer. Dr. .T. G. Uolland. I would have his books grace the table of all our home circles. "Boy Path" and his other stories are always inspiring, and inspire our young people to pure thought and purpose. The poem from which the above is taken is so full of humor, of unflagging interest, of real phi- losophy, that all our children and young people may well read —the children portions of it, and the older ones all of it. Like .lob, it discusses the problem of evil, and will help to get a philosophy of life and thought that can not come too early into the heart and life. I hope all our mothers will see that "Bitter Sweet" is among the volumes that the children prize as among their best belongings. Then side by side have " Kathrlna " and "Timothy Titcomb's Letters to Young People"—all by the same author. All are good to read with the children ; all will develop in pure wholesome lines; all will invigorate, and give a start-oil from a right, true foundation. But we have almost forgotten the baby. Luther said he loved and felt awed before the baby. For in every bahy is the promise of so much of good or evil. Every infant is poten- tially so pure, true and noble, or so base, depraved, and ignoble, that no wonder we are alert at the very cradle to start the little craft in best baby
