Iy, when after honeymoon spent at Lake
George, the young couple came back to
New York TO meet her r-and it was much
to be forgiven, Katy thought, for enter
ing clandestinely into family like hers.
Her home was stately and beautiful
one-every wish she formed WAS quickly
indulged, and her husband was fond and
devoted as her lover had been. 1t was

she ever missed the small brown farm

dreams.
For a year the sunshine lasted-then

And she sat one evening in her lonely

Our Friends are There -

Nhen one is about to depart from fa-
m!Ilar places and 60 into distant coun
try, with what interest does he consider
whether any of his former friends or ac
quaintances are residing there. And what
satisfaction it affords him if he can bu,
remember that one who at home was
even almost stranger TO him, is among
the inhabitants Of that foreign land He
feels at once that it is less strange land
than it WAS before and the thought of
being there himself is less comfortless
than 1t was.
But if the person about starting on bis
journey is the last Of his family who has
remained in their native home; If parents
and brothers and sisters are sIreadv set
tied in the new country, and he has but
tarrled TO finish some work that it was
his dnty or his interest to do, and now
makes haste to follow his relatives, il will
not seem like strange country at all
that he is going to , even though he has
never set foot on its shores. Where the
heart is is home, whether you've ever See,,
the place or not and mans heart is
where all the friends that he loves are
z .thered.
Although there is a natural ard often
very deep regret at bidding a final fare
well to dear familiar places, haIlowed by
| sacred memories which the silent but elo.
quent past has been gathering for every
heart since the day that it first took
knowledge of its own life, yet when it i.

KEEPING HoRsEs' FEET AND LEGS IN

my horses legs and feet being in better
order than those of my neigbbors', I
should attribute it to the four following
circumstances t: First, that they are al
shod, with few nails, so placed in the shoe
as TO permit the foot TO expand every time
they move: second, that they all live in
boxes, instead Of stalls, and can move
whenever they please third, that they
have two hours daily walking exercise
when they are not at work, and fourth,
that ! have not q besdstall or rack-cbsin

comprehend tho whole mystery Of keep
ing horses legs fine, and their feet in

To the Children.

To the Children.
Jesus loves the little children,
Calls them to him day by day,
Lays his hands on them in blessings,
Bid them always near him stay.
Jesus gives you holy Sabbaths,
Peaceful hours, and loving friends;
Shows to you the path to heaven,
Ever watchful DER you bends.
But does Jesus love the children,
Who now dwell in heather lands
Would he give to them like blessings
Lay on them his gentle hands q!
Yes, oh yes the Saviour's pity
Limitless, and ceaseless flows;
And he died that he might rescue
Them, with you, from endless woes.
And he bids you send the knowledge
OF his love to them nfar:
To the children who, in darkness,
See not our bright Morning Star.
Oh be earnest, that the tidings
Which to you such mercies bring.
May go forth to scatter gladness,
Making all the desert sing
That from thence host of children,
OF number none can tell,
May ascend to shine in heaven,
There, with Christ, in joy to dwell.
WHO shall say how glad the meeting
That will be when life is past,
When. with them, YOU see the Savior,
And your crowns before him cast
