DEDICATION.
To my Mother.
As I turn over the pages of this my first book,and mark here and there a name which use hasmade familiar, I feel the more, that, but for yoursympathy and encouragement, much would stillremain unwritten. With me you have sorrowedover the untimely death of “Little Charlie.”“Bertha,” with her precious gifts,—whereof somany stand in need,—has grown to you andme not a child of fancy, but a living presence.“Little Floy,” and the “Child of the Street,”will recall, to your mind as to mine, the touchinglines of Mrs. Browning:—

“Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers!
Ere the sorrow comes with years?
They are leaning their young heads against their mothers;
And that cannot stop their tears.
The young lambs are bleating in the meadows;
The young birds are chirping in the nest;
The young fawns are playing with the shadows;
The young flowers are blowing toward the West:
But the young, young children, O my brothers!
They are weeping bitterly,—
They are weeping in the play-time of the others,
In the country of the free.
They look up with their pale and sunken faces,
And their looks are sad to see;
For the man’s grief abhorrent draws and presses
Down the cheeks of infancy.”
