My Return at Evening.

When business is Ger and my day work i done,
] hasten me on, quite cheerful at heart,
A kiss to receive and few to impart
When nearing my cottage by Ida I'm spiedI a.,
Then there's pattng of hands, and Papa is cried,
And her fair little arms instnctively rise
To encircle my neck as onward she flies T.
Behind her comes Frank for hug and kiss,
s.I've been good boy are you glad to hear this?"
And Milton that sweet little boy on the tioer,
To kiss papa, has crawled to the door.
Though tired in body; yet quiet in mind,
A happier man you no where can find
