THE SWEETNESS OF. HoME.--Hs5
| who has no home has not the sweet
pleasure of life; he feels not the thous-
and endearments that cluster around
that hallowed spot to fill the soid Of bis
aching heart, and vile away his leiis,
,,re moments in the sweetest of hfa's
Joys. Is misfortune your los, you will
find o friendly welcome from hearts
beating true to your own. The chosen
partner Of your toll has smile of aps
probation when others have deserted, ,a
hand to help when all others refuse,
and heart TO feel yonr sorrows as her
own. Perhaps a smiling cllerub, with
prattling giee and Joyous laugh will
4 drive all sorrow from soar8 eare.,sorn
! brow, and enclose it in the areaths of
domestic bliss.
/ No matter how humte the home
ma i, how aassitiatss RS afssas bos
poorly its inmatesare clad: if trpeheafss
dwell there, it is yet o hone---a cheer
full, prudent wife, obedien. and asfaetielisl
ate children, will give their pogses
more real ;;oy than tags sf gold and
windy honor.
The home of a temperate, indussri-
ous, horest man, Mill be his greatest
