THE LITTLE PEOPLE. (.0:) o A dreary place would be this earth W ero there no little people in it; d The song of life would lose its mirth, Were there no children to begin it. Mo little forms like buds to grow, ^ And mako the admiring heart surrender; b To make the thrilling lore caress. c To kcop the thrilling lovo cords tender. ? No.babo within our arms to leap, d No little feet toward slumber tending; a No little knees in prayer to bend, j Our lips the sweet words lending. ti c What would the mothers do for work. J, Were there no pants or jacket tearing? 8 No tiny dresses to embroider ? t No cradle for their watchful carin ? a t No rosy boys at wintry morn. t Willi satchel to the school-house hasting ; ^ - No merry shouts at home they rush, i No precious morsel for their tasting. t The stcrncr^BOuls would geYlnof* stern, " ^ And men to stoic coldness turn, a And woman would be less than woman. 1 I'orin that climc towards which we reach, Thro' Time's mysterious dim unfolding, ? 1 ii little ones with cherub smile Are still our Father's face beholding. So said IIis voice, in whom wo trust, E When in Judea's realm a preacher, r lie made a child confront the proud, I And be in simple guiso their teacher. I > l.ifo's song, indeed, would lose its charms, Wcro there no babies to begin it; A doleful place this world wuold be Were there no little people in it. { Too Hot ?ok IIim.?As Confederate ' war reminiscences are the order of the day, here is one too good to lie buried. .The ' hero of the joke we will call hitu .Jim.? llu was attached to Ilosser's Cavalry, in ' Stuart's command.
