Your tired knee that has so much to bear; A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly * From underneath a thatch of hair. Perhaps you do not feel the velvet touch Of warm, moist fingers holding yours so tight; You do not prize this blessing over? much? You are almost too tired to pray to? night. But it is blessedness! A year ago, I did cot see it as I do to-day; We are too dull and thanklesB, and too slow To catoh the sunshine till it slips away. And now it seems surprising strange to me, That while I wore the badge of mo? therhood, I did not kiss more softly and tenderly The little ohild that brought me only good. And if some night, when you sit down to rest, ! You miss this little elbow from yonr knee, This restless, ourly head from off yom breast, & This lisping tongue that chatters constantly; If from your own the dimpled bands had slipped, And ne'er would nestle in your palm again; If the white feet into their grave had tripped? I could not blame you for your heartache, then. I wonder so that mothers ever fret At little children clinging to their gown; Or that the foot-prints when the days are wet, Are ever black enough to make them frown. If I could find a little mnddy boot, Or cap or jacket on my chamber floor; If I could kisB a rosy, restless foot, And hear it patter in my home once morel If I could mend a broken cart to-day, To-morrow make a kite to reach the sky, There's no woman in God's world could say, She was more'blissfully content than Bat, ah! the dainty pillow next my own T- never rampled by a shining head; My singing birdling from its nest has flown? The little boy I used to kiss is doadl Spimtuaij Phenomena.?At a private party, given at his London House dur? ing the past week, Sir Charles Wheat stone exhibited some curious electrical experiments for tho amusement of his friends, which would seem to throw some light on certain so-called "spirit? ualistic manifestations." In a dark room, by a stamp of his foot, Sir Charles produced a brilliant crown of electric light in mid-air, while musical instruments seemed to be plajed by invisible hands, whereas the sounds really came from an adjoiniug room iu which the player sat, and were made to appear to bo produced by tho instruments before the spectators by an ingenious contrivance. A contest between science und the ??spirits" in their own chosen feats would be almost as memorable as the celebrated compe? tition between Moses and the magi? cians. The ethereal mildness of some men in the face of domestic infelicity is as? tonishing; but sometimes tho mildest get mad. Tho other day. a quiet New York man suddenly found the lion in kis botom aroused, und ho thrust his wife into the street, and wus arrested. The record of the incident says: "She had loft him three times, and each time she came buck she brought him n baby." ?????im?min im in im in in mi in ill iimwiiri Notice to Chewers of Good Tobacco.
