GOING HOME.

"will yon come with me my pretty one?'
asked a little child
"Wll you come with me and gather flowers!
She looked on me and smiled.
Then in low sweet. gentle voice,
She said, II cannot come,
must not leave this narrow path,
For am going home"
"But will you not,"I asked again;
"The sun is shining bright,
And you might twine lilly wreath
To carry home at night;
And l could show you pleasant things
If you would only Gomez"
"No; am going home"
"But look, my child; the fields are green
And meath the leafy trees,
Children are playing merrily,
Or resting at their ease.
Does it not hurt your tender feet
This stony path to tread?"
Sometimes; but am going home!'
Once more she swcetly said.
my father babe me keep this path.
Nor ever turn aside;
The road that leads away from him,
Is very smooth and wide;
The fields are fresh, and COOL and green;
Pleasant the shady trees;
But those around my own dear home
Are lovelier far than these.
IL must not loiter on the road,
For have far to go;
And should like to reach the door
Before the sun is low
must not stay; but will you not,
Oh, will you not come too?
Ny home ia very beautiful,
And there is room for you.'
took her little hand in mine;
Together we went on
Brighter and brighter DER our path
The blessed sinbeams shone.
At length we saw the distant towers,
But ere we reached the gate,
The child outstripped my lingering feet,
Too overjOyed to wait.
And rs she turned her radient face
Once more to bid me come.
