MY Dear Old Home.

came again to the dear old homo
But years long since have sped,
And mid the raven locks Of youth
Lay many a silver thread
The bounding step was slow and sad,
The sparkling eyes grew dim,
And the bird-notes once so blithesome fell
Like the chimes of funeral hymn.
looked for the roof that sheltered once
The loved Of childhood's hours;
sought for the hearth -stone--upon It lay
A mound Of grass and flowers;
The broad armed oak, whose sheltering shad,
Was the scene Of our merry play
a moss grown stump marked out the spot
That told of its'sad decay.
Iwandered down TO the popular spring,
And drank from the gushing stream,
But the draught had lost the magic charm,
Tho waves their golden gleam:
For the rippling waters seemed to speak
With tones Of long ago
o, many tuneful voice is still
That mingled with their flow.

And spirit bowed and sad,
For those who had blessed that lowly roof
And made the hearth-stone glad;
And found them all where the willow dropped
Its long green bows around
Some cherished form was resting there,
Meath each quiet grassy mound.

But where'er my footsteps tread,
The dearest seat will be to me
The home Of the loved ones dead,
The sunshine steals thro' the hanging boughl
With softeAed steady light;
And silent stars CLEAN purest there,
In hush of the summer night.

Books IN JAPAN.-Whoever walks
through the streets of a Japan town or
village, will be surprised TO notice the
number of books exposed for sale in al
most every shop. On looking inside he
will probably find one or more of the at
tendants, if otherwise disengaged, busily
reading, or listening TO something being
read by one of the company. In walking
through the outskirts of the town, it is
not unlikely he will come suddenly on a
knot of children, seated in snug corner
out Of the sun, all intently engaged in
looking through some story book or other
they have just bought at neighboring
stall, and laughing right heartily at the
comical pictures which adorn the narrative.
The conviction is thus brought home to
mans mind that the japanese are O
reading people. London News.

around the long table, which, by the
Deacon's direction, had been spread upon
the shady lawn; and never probably did
guests more heartily unite in thanksgiving
for the bounties of Providence. Before
they rose from the banquet, there was a
gorgeous sunsetall in full view, to be en-
joyed by many who, within their narrow
walls were almost rs effectually excluded
from Gods free picture gallery in the
heavens, as from mans aristocratic ones
on earth. At the same time, the full
moon was rising in the east, and then
there was delightful evening, with the
glancing fire flies among the grass, and
the cool brcezes that never dreamed of
brick walls and heated pavoments-and
by nine Of the clock the whole company
had departed in their train of conveyan-
ces for home. ..
The lady hostess was too tired or too
thoughtful to demand explanations now
When children and servants had silently
assembled in tho sitting room at the hour
of prayer, the worthy. father of the fami-
ly read from the great Bible the story Of
feast given of old at the house Of a
chief Pharisee; and his voice fingered
with special emphasis on the following
words:
"When thou makest dinner or a sup
per, call not thy friends nor thy brethren,
neither thy kinsman nor thy rich neigh
bors lest they also bid thee again and a
recompence be made thee. But when
thou makest feast, call the poor, the
manned, the lame, the blind; and thou
shalt be blessed for they cannot recon-
pence thee; for thou shalt be compensa-
ted at the resurrection of the just"
He was certainly strange man that

different from the rest Of the world.

HOME INFLUENcE.-Very foolish is
the parent who has failed to govern his
few children who have been with him dai-
ly from infancy, and expects the teacher,
a stranger, to manage many with unerr-
ing skill and perfect success. Parents
must govern well at home, if they would
find no trouble in school; and if they fail,
they do well to look upon teachers with
charity. Very rare it is for children well
trained at home to have trouble in school.
