1t is unhealthy to fall in love with an

A HOME FOR ALL.

A HOME FOR ALL.
There's hone for lhe poor on that beau
tliul shore,
When life and its sorrows are ended,
And s".ee,ly they Ii rest in that home Of
tie blest.
By the presence Of angels attended.
There's home for the sad, and their
hearts will be glad,
When they crossed over Jordon so
dreary
For bright is the dome of that radian,
hone
Where softly reposes the weary.
There's home for the i'll, and their bos-
oms shall thrill
With the rapture Of healhful emotion ;
For the invaIids moan will not be known
In that world OF peaceful devotion.
There's home for the cid, when time
and It's mould,
The fair form of beauty has faded
And brightly they'll bloom beyond the
dark tomb,
Where the sPlendor Of yrJIh is ne'er
shaded.
There's home for the young, aud Sc
raPhlc song,
Will that heavenly choir be singing,
Where the harps Of gold, which never
grow old,
Tbro' the gIiuering arches are ringing
There's home for The good, where none
may inlrude,
Or tempt Them with evil or folly;
They Il calmly repose, freed from 'rials
and woes,
In that place prepared for the holy.
There's home for the vile, all polluted
with guile,
When cleansed by the quickening
spirit;
They too, may be heir to the kingdom so
fair,
And all its glory inherit.
There's home, !or Us all when the fat
doth call,
Wen fly to the arms of our Savior,
And oiG in the song OF that beautiful
throng,
And sing Of redemption forever.
LEAVING HOME.
BY c. d. HAGERMAN.
Fare well dear parents, fare you well
bid you all adieu ;
Although leave you far behind,
sill shall think of you.
Brother and sister, fare you well,
As we're about 10 part,
The thought of leaving you behind
Twines round NY aching heart.
Farewell, dear friends, leave you
Perhaps 10 meet no more,
Until we meet in yonder Land,
On Canaan'S happy shore.
biJ farewell to rocks and rilIs.
The silver sparkling stream
How Oft have spored on lis banks,
Sweet moments have seen.
Farewell, all near and dear to me.
And all Ihose pleasant hours
And all those pleasant walks, that
Have taken 'mong the bowers.
Farewell, all those lovely birds
That sing among the trees,
Tha, sing sweeuy all the day
Among the verdant leaves.
But still have friend with me,
and when 60 abroad.
I'll not forget 10 tell his name
'TIs Jesus Christ, our Lord.
