ROCK ME TO SLEEP. Backward, turn backward, O Tims, in your flight, Make me a child again just for to night! Mother, come back from the echoless shore. Take me again to your heart as of yore; Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care. Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair; Over my slumbers your loving watch keep Rock me to sleep, mother—rock me to sleep! Backward, flow backward, O tide of the years l am so weary of toil and pf tears Toil without recompense, tears all in vain Take them and give me my childhood again' I have grown weary of dust and decav, Weary of flinging my soul wealth away, Weary of sowing for others 10 reap— Rock me to sleep, mother—rock me to sleep Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue, Mother, O mother, my heart calls for you Many a summer the grass has grown green, ( Blossomed and faded, our faces between, Yet, with strong yearning and passionate pain, Long I to night for your presence again, Come from the silence so long and so deep — Rock me to sleep, mother rock me to sieep Over my heart in the days that are flown, No love like mother love ever has shone , No other worship abides and endures, Faithful, unselfish, and patient, like yours; ( None like a mother can charm away pain From the sick soul and the world-weary brain. Slumber's soft cafms o'er my heavy lids creep Rock me to sleep, mother rock me to sleep Come, let your brown hair, just lighted wiih gold, Fall on your shoulders again as of old . Let it drop over my forehead to-night, Shading my faint eyes away from the light, For with its sunny-edged shadows once more, , Haply will throng the sweet visions of yore. Lovingly, softly, ns bright billows sweep— Rock me to sleep, mother—rock me to sleep' Mother, dear mother, the tears have been long Since 1 last listened your lullaby song. Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem Womanhood's years have been only a dream Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace, - With your light lashes just sweeping my face i Never hereafter to wake or to weep— Rock me to sleep, mother—rock me to sleep' —Elizabeth Akers IF I SHOULD DIE TO-NIGHT. ► If 1 should die to-night, , My friends would look upon my quiet face Before they laid it in its resting place, And deem that death had left it almost fair; And laying snow-white flowers against my hair Would smooth it down with tearful tenderness, And fold my hands with lingering caress. If I should die to-night, Mv frinnds would call to mind with loving thought Soms kindly deed the icy hands had wrought, Some gentle vt nrj the frozen lips had said, Errands on which the willing feet had sped; The memory ol my selfishness and Dride, My hasty words would all be put aside, j And so I should be loved and mourned so night. If 1 should die to-night, i Even hearts esteanged would turn once more to me. Recalling other days remorsefully; The eyes that chill me with averted glance Would look upon me as of yore, perchance, | And soften in the old familiar w ay, j For who could war with dumb, unconscious clay1 So I might rest, forgiven ol all to night Oh, friends! I pray to-night, j Keep not your Kieses lor my dead, cold brow ; j The wav is lonely, let me feel them now, | Think gently ol me; I am travel-worn; My faltering feet are pierced w ith many a thorn, Forgive, oh heart estranged, forgive, I plead1 When dreamless rest is mine I shall not need The tenderness for which 1 long to night. —Belle Eugenia Smith.

According to Doctor Davenport, the only safe and sure way tii be slim and sylphlike is to ha\e slender parents. It is not a matter of what on a eats or how much, said the lecturer. The quality which turns foods into fat is hereditary, he added. He showed diagrams of fat and thin families. One of the fat families had two daughters whose weights were respectively 300 and 350 pounds. < »u the other hand, children of two thin persons will never grow fat, lie said, Doctor Ihivenport’s conclusion! were questioned to some extent bj Prof. Graham Lusk of the Cornell I'niversity Medical school, who US' •erted that appetite and nutritioi had much to do with putting oi weight. “If a man drinks a third of i glass of milk above his nutritiuna requirements every day, he will gan nine pounds in a year, and ninet’ pounds in ten years,” he declared.
