GOOD NIGHT TO BABY.
Where is Babe to-night ? I miss her — Where is little Bright Eyes ? bless her ! Bend above her cot and kiss her, Say " good-night" to Baby. Say " good-night," thougli she be sleeping, Listening cherubs will be peeping Through God's windows, fondly keeping Loving watch o'er Baby. They will catch the words with pleasure, Floating downwards through the azure, They will cluster round your treasure, Whisp'ring them to Baby. They will tell her many a story Of their Golden City's glory — Wiser than her grandsire hoary, Happy little Baby. Purer sight to her is given, All the star-nailed gates are riven, Opening up a view of heaven In her dreams to Baby. — SaUmlay Advertiser.
