DAILY EVENING STAR.
A HOME PICTURE.

One autumn night when the wind was high,
% And the rain fell in heavy FLASHES,
little boy sat by the kitchen fire,
popping corn in the ashes;
And his sister, a curly haired child of three,
Sat locking on just close to his knee.
The blast went bowling round the house,
AS if to get in twas trying;
1t ratified the latch of the outer door,
Then seemed it baby crying!
Now and then a drop down the chin ney came,
And sputtered and Missed in the bright red fame.
Pop, pop-and the kernels one by one,
Came out of the embers flying;
The boy held long pine stick in his hand,
And kept it busily plying;
He stirred the corn and it snapped the more,
And faster jumped to the clean swept floor.
Al part of the kernels hoped out one way, =
And part hoped out the other;
Some flew plump into the sisters lap,
Some under the stool of the brother;
The little girl gathered them into heap,
And called them flock of milk white sheep.
All at once the boy sat still as mouse,
And into the fire kept gazing;
He quite forgot he was popping corn,
For he looked where the wood was blazing,
He looked and he fancied that he could see
A house and barn, bird and tree
Still steadily gazed the boy at these,
And pussy's gray back kept stroking,
Till his little sister cried out, ''why, bub,
On1v hoxuf 4
And sure enough, when the boy looked ok,
The corn in the ashes was burnt quite black.
"Never mind," said he, eve shall have enough,
So, now, let's sit back and eat it;
I'll carry the stools and you the corn;
'Tis nice-nobody can beat it,
She took up the corn in her pinafore,
And they ate it all nor wished for more.

THE RUNAWAY'S RETURN.

Well, here am I, after my nights walk,
once more in the village where was born.
The sun is up now, and shining brightly.
Things appear the same, and yet different.
How is it There was big tree used to
stand at the corner; and where is Carver's
cottage?
Three days ago I landed at Portsmouth
1t was on my birthday. For ten years have
1 been sailing about on the sea, and wander
ing about on the land. How things come
over me! I am man now; but for that,
could sit down and cry like child.
1t seems but as yesterday since ran away
from home. 1t was the worst days work
that 1 ever did. got up in the morning at
sunrise, while my father and mother were
asleep. Many and many time had been
unkind to my dear mother, and undutiful
to my father, and the day before he told me
how wrong it was. He spoke kindly and in
sorrow, but my pride would not bear it.
thought I would leave home What is it
that makes me tremble so now?
My father coughed as crept along by
his door, and thought that 1 heard my
neither speak to him SO I stood moment,
with my little bundle in my hand, holding
my breath. He coughed again 1 have
seemed to hear that cough in every part of
the world. ae... ........
When had unlocked the door, my heart
failed me: for my sister had kissed me
over night, and told me she had something
to tell me in the morning. I knew what it
was; she had been knitting me pair of
garters, to give me on my birthday. I
turning back, opened the door of her little
room, and looked at her; but my tears fell
on the bed clothes, and I was afraid it
would wake her. Half blinded, l CROPPED
down stairs
Just as 1 had gently closed the door, the
easement ratified above my head. looked
up, and there was my mother. She spoke
to me, and when / did not answer, she cried
out loud to me. That cry rung in my ears
ever since; aye, in my very dream! @
AsI hurried away, felt, suppose, as
Cain felt when he murdered his brother.
My father, my mother, and my sister, had
been kind to me. | had been unkind to
them and in leaving them thus, felt as if
I was numbering them all. i
Had been robber, could not have
felt more guilty. But what do say that
for. l was . robber! / Vas 1soee'ng

here, or things would not look as they do.
Father would not let the weeds grow in this
fashion, nor the thatch fall in; and nv
mother and sister never stuffed that straw
through the broken panes.
I'll rap at the door any how. How hol-
low it sounds. Nobody stirs. All is az
