"hen am lar away And the ringlet
was severed, and sweet kisses pressed up-
on her cheek again and again at tha, sad
parting hour.
AGAIN and again were they pressed up
on her cheek as memory opened wide her
ooOk' and brought the past close TO view.
lie waketul nght-watc amid the howl
ing storm, the fitful dreams of waterv
grave for him she loved better than words
could tell, the anxious waiting for letters.
and the joyful reunion after months Of
separation all rose up before her with the
viVldness OF life.
Anu had this cherished earthly treasure
turned TO dross-a worthless thing ready
10 be cast awayl No!no,
The reaction had come, as it always
VIII; and, as E.tina leaned her head low
over the note, hot, binding tears fell again,
out Ihey were not tears of anger. Her
own harsh words sounded in her ears, and
her unkIndness and injustice to one who
so seldom erred filled her heart with re-
pentance. Could not she, who often need
ed forgiveness, forgive or bear meekly the
least sentence of blame! Oh, if she had
only governed herself in the mornino. and
guarded her soul, and not let the turbulent
waves overflow, what a miserable day
would have been bloted out of existence!
"lllles cry called her down stairs.-
one took htm up, clasped him in her arms,
ana The smiles came back TO her lip in an
swers TO his smiles and playful caresses.
Bat few stitches were sewed that after
noon, for the walk and the MUSINGS. and
tendlngs of the baby took up most of the
time TILL five, the hour to prepare supper;
and then baby was placed in the cradle,
with the nondescript playthings of big
pan, and a spoon, and whip; and the fire
klndleG, and the tea kettle filled for tea
The table was set again, and the toast
made and covered up close by the fire, and
warm cakes baked-all done as the clock
struck six.
How will he meet me?' was her tbougbt
as she went 10 the window TO watch his
return. tlve-ten minutes passed by, and
she saw him coming on the walk, but his
step was not as light as usual, and his head
was bowed down, as if weary in body and
mind.
Ettina stepped into the hall as lhe door
opened, reached out her hand, and the
words, i am so sorry l grieyed you y
burst from her lips.
And | am SO sorry, Eta, did not say
the same to you after my unreasonable
tault-findlng; for | was sorry, dear wife,
before left the room. Next time, [ will
watch and guard against petulance but, if
| forget myself, | will try to make amends
before go from home, and not leave YOU
to ponder over my words in tears until un-
kind thoughts throng in and fill your soul
with bitterness towards me-
Il will not tell you, John, what have
resolved, for fear may break my resolu-
ton; but | hope God will forgive me my
slnfnlness this time, and give me strength
to overcome all evil passions, that NAV
do as | would be done by in every act of

BE PATIENT AND FORBEAR-
ING.

i should think, Etlina, we might have
some toast or warm cakes once in a while
for breakfast. | am sick of this PLAIN Iiv-
ing said John Weston, with a fretlul look,
as he leaned back in his chair at the con
cluslon of his morning meal.
Il did intend to bake both pies and cakes

but the baby was very cross, and mum

cent food for two. believe could, even

And with these ungracious words he took
up his hat, without pleasant look or kind
good morning, and left for his work.
'Oh dear! oh dear! that is too badp
thought Mrs. Weston, as his words sank
deeper and deeper into her heart, and stir
red up all the bitterness and unrest that are
too often surging and seelhing deep down
in the human soul. i can't do everything.
Willie cried all the time | was getting

him; and then those tresome callers! |

higher through the outlet of hard thoughts,
until they swept over all remembrance of
patient forbearance that he had often man
ifes!ed towards her in the three years of
their married life.
But it won't DO to sit here. | have all
these dishes to wash, and pies to make,
and dinner 10 get, and Willie to take care
of too And so Mrs. Weston wiped her
eyes, and began to clear up the table, but
everything went wrong; the tears that
brought no relief kept coming, and blinded
her, and hindered her in all she attempted
to perform; one plate was broken from
valued set, and large grease spot made
on the floor; and the fire would not burn,
and no kindIings Il should think hus-
band had better remember some of his own

HOME! DEAR HOME!
BY BERNARD BARTON.

d DLiN-N-ihD bAhIDN.
Where burns the lov'd hearth brightest,
Cheering the social breast?
Where beats the fond heart lightest,
It's humble hopes possessed?
Where is the smile Of sadness
Of meek eyed patience born?
Worth more than those Of giadncss,
Which nIirth's bright cheek adorn;
Pleasure is marked by heetness
To those who bindly roam,
While grief itself has sweetness
1t Home, dear Home.
There blend the ties that strengthen
Our hearts in hours OF grief
The silver links that lengthen
joys visit when most brief:
There, eyes in all their splendor
Are vocal to the heart,
And voices gay and tender
Fresh eloquence impart.
Then dost thou sigh for pleasureI
Oh do not blindly roam;
But seek that hidden treasure
At Home, dear Home.
Does pure religion charm thee,
Far more than aught below?
Wouldst thou that she should arm thee
Against the hour Of woe?
Think not she dwelleth only
In temples made for prayer,
For Home itself were lonely
Without her presence there;
The devOtee may falter,
The bigot bIindly roam,
If worshipless his altar,
AT Home, dear Home.
Love over it presideth,
With meek and watchful care,
Its holy service guideth,
And shows its perfect law.
If THERE thy faith shall fail thee
If THERE no shrine be found
What can thy prayers avail thee
With kneeling crowds around?
Go leave thy gifts unotfered,
Before religions dome,
And be her first fruits profered
AT Home, dear Home.

LAURA MAY.

By /. J. sTINE.
Friends beside her bed were signing
Angel lovely there she lay;
Could it be that she was dying?
Lovely little Laura May!
Yes, mid springs first roses lying,
Little Laura May was dying.
Racked with pain, yet sweetly smiling,
Still, she uttered no complaint;
Angels, too. her pains beguiling,
Comforted the little saint.
" Hear them, mother, hear them singing,
Heaven-news your Laura bringing.
" They have come for me, dear mother;
Good bye! take my parting kiss
Good bye, sister, father. brother,
Oh, to die, how sweet it is ~
Heavens courts with praises ringing,
Laura stood with angels singing.
