THE G. RLAN ID.
From tne New York Mirror
The Deserted homestead,

There IS a lonely homestead,
ln a green and quie. vale,
With its tall trees signing mourniu'ly.
TO every passing gale,
There are many ruins round it
In The sunlight cleaning fair,
Blu, moss grown is tina, silver cot,
lis walls are gay and bare.
Where once glad voices sounded,
Of children in their ni,,h,
No whisper breaks the solitude
Of ,ha, deserted hearth,
The swallow from It's dwelling,
The low caves hath flown,
And all nigh. long the whippoorwlll
Sings by the threshold stone.
No hand above The lattice,
Ties up the trailing vines.
And through the broken easement pane'
The moon a, midnight shines;
And maGy solemn shadow
Seems standing IRON the gloom
Like forms OF long departed ones,
Peooling lha, dim old moon.
o! where are they whose voices
Rang out o'eI hill rnd dale!
Gone! and their mourn(ul memories
Seem but one Oft told tale
Some 10 the quiet church yard,
And some beyond the sea,
To meet no more as once they met
Beneath the old roof Iree.
Fame and ambition lured them
From iha; green vale to roam,
But as their dazzling dreams depart,
Regrelul memories come,
OF lhe valley aud the homestead,
Of their childhood pure and free,
Till each worn weary Spirit yearns
Tha, home once more to see.
o! tlest are they who linger
Mid old familiar things
Where every object round the heart
It's haiIowed Influence aings.
Though won are wealth and honors
Through reached fams's Io(y dome,
There are no joys like those which sprlni
Within our chlldhoOd's home.

Would st thOn be friend OF mine!
Thou must be quick and bold
When the right is to he done,
And the truth is 10 be told;
Wearing no friends like smile,
When thy heart is hot within;

No compromise with sin
