MY ITTLE BO Y .ASLEEP.
Just now I miued from the hall and stiir
A joyful trblo that 1iad*wn'.
As dear to me as that grave toue
That tells the world my older care. -
And little footsteps on the floor
Were st yed. I laid aside my pen,
Forgot my theme, and listened-then
Stole softly to the library door.
No sigh ! no sound !-a moment's freak,
Of fancy thrilled my pulses through;
"If-no" and yet the fancy drew
A father's blood from heart and cheek.
And then-I found him. There ho lay,
Surprised by slop, caught in the act,
The rosy vandals who had sacked
His little town and thought it pay.
The shattered vase, the broken jar;
A match still smonldering on the floor;
The inkstand's purple pool of gore;
''he chessmen scattered near and far;
Strewn leaves of albums lightly pressed
This wicked "Baby of the Woods;"
Tn fact, of half the ioIulhl goods
This son and heir was seized-possessed.
1et all In vain, for sleep had caught
'1ho hand that reached, the feet that strayed;
And fallen in that ambuscade
''ho victor was himself o'erwrought.
What though torn leaves and tattered book*
Still testified his <1eep disgrace;
I stooped and kissed the inky face,
With its demure and cali outlook.
'Tlhen back'I stole, and half beguiled
My guilt, in trust that when my sleep
Should come, there might bo one who'd keel
An equal mercy for his cLid.

foolish and useless, and Peter, in despair,
retired to his tent.
lDespite his orders that no one be ad
Imitted to his presence, Catherine went! of
to him, and, by her tact and energy, of- se,
f'cted the salvation of his honor. At a i
her dictation, Sheremetief wrote a letter at
to the Grand Vizier, which led to a de- oo
clarat ion of peace. The story that she. m[
gave her jewels and money collected from of
the soldiers, to the Vizier, as a bribe, is 01

Immediately after Peter's death, Cath-ell

mis miarked by munerons acts of clem

called sione who had been exiled, and h
prevelted the execution of not a few who
had be-en eidemned to death. Nor
were her friends of former days forgot- t

Glu;ck, who atlid died ia prisoner at 10s

nnuity upon eatbh of his two eldest
daughters, and adnmeed the youngest I
to be one of her maids of honor. o
Her reign was of short duration. She
died May 27, 1727, of a cancer, aggrava fl

votions, a gun was fired beneath I hi

In the fall of 1875 my sufferings woro terrl -
ble. 1 was s*pllen to such proportions that
I feare.l my imbs would burst. I had the
best medical talent obtainable, and at the
wolst stage of my illness, when my husband
and iany friands had given me up to die,
the late Dr. John Woodbury made a thorough
examination of my water, and pronounced
my case acute kidnay disease, bordeiing on
Bri ht's disease, and acdonrpanied by gravel,
and recommended the immdiato use of
Hunt's Remedy. At this time I was tutfer
ing most terrible pain in my back, limbs
and head, and could find no rest daiy ornight
for weeks, and I was growing weaker daily
until this kind physician ordered me to take
hlunt's Reeiody. Before taking half of one
bottle I commenced to improve, and after
taking six bottles was entirely cured. This
was nearly eight years ago, and I have had
1:o return of the disease. I have recom
mended lHunt's Itemotly to others in similar
cases, and it has never failed to cure. I have
also uneo. it for sick headache, and found in
it a sure relief. I think it the best medicine
nmade, and cheerfully recommend it to all.
