"I say, Gower," said Tom appealingly, "be a good fellow, and let's try if we can't get on without the crib." "What! in this chorus? Why, we shan't get through ten lines."
Shandon as late as the prison hours permitted, and had indeed many a time witnessed the putting to bed of little Mary, who occupied a crib in the room; and to whose evening prayers that God might bless papa, Finucane, although of the Romish faith himself, had said Amen with a great deal of sympathy but he had an appointment with Mr.
"I'm in," announced Joel, in a loud whisper; and Polly could hear him snuggle down among the warm bedclothes. "Call us when 'tis mornin', Polly." "Yes," said Polly, "I will; go to sleep." Phronsie had forgotten stockings and everything else on Polly's return, and was fast asleep in the old crib.

McWilliams said suppose the baby should catch it from Penelope? This thought struck a new panic to her heart, and the tribe of us could not get the crib out of the nursery again fast enough to satisfy my wife, though she assisted in her own person and well-nigh pulled the crib to pieces in her frantic hurry.

Whether there was or not, Zoie was no longer to be resisted and with a last regretful look at the crib, he resigned himself to giving his entire attention to his spoiled young wife. Gratified by her hard-won conquest, Zoie now settled herself in Alfred's arms.

"A cornfield, Sergeant," he exclaimed, "and that I take it is a crib." "A crib that will soon house more than corn," said the sergeant. "Two good Union soldiers are about to stop there.
