MOTHER'S LITTLE FINGER.

[From the French of Augusta Coupey, by the Rev. A. E. Burke]

The other dav almost unto a blister I beat with @ big switch my little vister. ; Then | bade her a single word not utter For very fear of me none did she even muiter.

We were alone; no person saw me do,

And what’s most strange, of it my mother knew?

Who or what told her, deciding why then linger?

It wus all spoken by her little fiuger.

Her little finger, wonderful to bear,

Speaks all things clearly to her listening

ear. Yes, enre; if la cood or bad bov be K’en far away she knows it perfectly.

Would you believe? last week about our door, My only cent and bread I gave to the poor. We were alone; a0 person saw me do, And what’s most strange, of it my mother knew, Who told or linger? It was all spoken by her little finger, And whether I a good or bad boy be My mother knows it perfectly.

why then

what, deciding

My little finger (understands me well)

None of these things tbat hers reports can tell;

Not me it praises, never me it scolds,

Nor sick nor well with me a discourse holds.

<Tis true and known, whatever’s done by me

It’s always round the very first to cee. Then let me ask, all farther talk to hinder, Why art so stupid thou my little firger? I have the answer. All it well doth bear I cannot whisper in my auxious ear; Because there’s wantitg in my little finger The — heart my mamma has within er.

[From the Children’s Department of the Boston Pilot, admirable Christmas »um- ber, we clip the foregcing pretty little poem which will delight many hundreds of childrea this continent over. The busy pen of our clerical friend is equally happy in every department of literature, and his heart like that of the Master goes oat tenderly to the “little ones.”

ANOTHER YEAR TO LIVE (London Standard.)

The German meteorological prophet, Dr. Rudolph Falb, predicted some time ago the end of the world, as the result of the collision ofour globe with Temple’s Comet, on November I[3, 1899. I: isa comet which travels in the wake of the meteoric swarm of shooting stars, or the Leonide shower, which will be mest in tense in 1899, avd the late Prof. Oppolzer, of Vienna, caiculated ite return for Mav, 1899, imstead of November. Dr. Falb’s

sinster prediction has caused Dr. Frederick Biuschof first assist— antat the Vienna Observatory, to

make a recalculation of the comet’s course with the reassuring result that on the day in 1899 when it will be nearcet to our earth the distance will still be eighteen million kilomeires, omitting the odd fgures. He gravely assures us that this distance is eufficient for rewoving any alarm, and gives us farther to urcderstand that Herr Falb made an error in bis logarithm,
