EVENING STAR. -JOSEY’S BABY. Sister Josey’s got a baby, (She is but ential hereelf,) And the baby isa spies eyed, Laughing, crying little aif. Well I mind the April morning— I was scarcely five years old— Addie came with smile of gladness, And a wondrous tale she told How a tiny, pretty creature, Toe our mother’s arms was given, How a white winged angel brought It From its happy home in heaven. Mother called our baby Josey, And she was our pet aud pride; No one thought of scolding Josey, When he pouted, frown cr cried. Only think how years crowd round us, Bringing troubie, bringing change— New tuat baby’s got baby '— * Bless me! ain’tit very st'ange? Such a preciou’s, winning dariin Eyes of so“test, dark-st grey, me Cheeks were blessed cunuing dimp'es Piay Lopeep the livelong day. Yer should hear him laughing gaily Cooing likea little dove, ai If you were the crosse t feilow, Josey’s baby ycu would love. 4K RIVALS ATTHK PRINCIPAL HOTELS Nation orel_—auy & BRIGGS. A Libby.
