c.ppA,H EVENING AT HOME.

When Sabbath bells have ceased Their souno'
And the hours of day are passed,
And twilight draws its curtain round'
And shadows gather fast
There is one spot, and one alone,
Round which our hearts most cling,
And fondest memories, one by one,
Their choicest treasures BRING
That spot is Home, its sacred walls
Admit no discord then,
Nor crowded marts, no: festive halls,
Nor gayest hannts of men,,
Can know Joy sweet and pure
Nor such TO them is given;
Might ioys like these for aye endure,
This earth were quite heaven.
I've wandered far 'mong other powers
Than those my childhood knew,
With hope of gathering fairer flowers
Than in those gardens grew:
Yet in the cold worlds earnest throngs-
Mid it's din and stormy strife,
Affection turns to scenes and songs
or my young joyous life.
Homes wel-loved group! Its Sabbath song'
Its tones l seem to hear;
Though borne full many leaf ue along
They come distinct and clear.
o Sabbath night o treasured home!
Fond pride of memorys train
And thoughts Of ye, where e'er roam,.
Shall bring my youth again.
