A Home Picture.

One autumn night, when the wind was high,
And the rain fell in heavy FLASHES,
A little boy sat by the kitchen fire,
A-popping corn in the ashes;
And his sister, a curly -haired child of three,
Sat looking on close to his knee.
The blast went bowling round the house,
As If to get In twas trying;
1t ratified the latch of the outer door,
Then it seemed a baby crying;
Now and then drop down the chimney came,
And sputtered and hissed in the bright fire flame.
Pop pop. and the kernels, one by one,
Came out of the embcrs flying;
The boy held long pine stick in hand,
And kept IL busiy flying:
He stirred the corn, and it snapped the more,
And faster jumped to the clean-swept floor.
Part Of the kernels hopped out one way,
And part hopped out the other;
Some flew plump into the sisters lap,
Some under the stool of the brother;
The little girl gathered them into heap
And called them "a flock Of milk-whitc sheep"
At once the boy sat as still az a mouse,
And into the fire kept gazing;
He quite forgot he popping corn,
For he looked where the wood was blazing;
He looked, and he fancied he could see
A house and barn, bird and tree.
Still steadily gazed the boy at these,
And pussys back kept stroking,
I'LL his little sister cried out, "wly, George,
Only see how the corn is smoking"
And sure enough when the boy looked back,
The corn in the ashes was burnt quite black.
''Ncvcr mind 70 said he, "wc shall have enough,
So now let's sit back and eat 1t;
I'll carry the stool, and you the corn
It's good--nobody can beat it,"
She took up the corn In her pinafore,
And they ate II all, nor asked for more.
