! The Foundation Of a Home.

How many mistaken IDEAS
are there as to what constitutes !
a home! Home is a word of !
our language sadly misused. 1t
is often spoken, but seldom III
its true sense. In lis false in
depreciation it includes every
place where human beings are
passing their lives
The matched cottage of the
peasant; the. rough log cabin Of
the pioneer; the house of pow
erty with its broken window
lianes, through which the win
ter blasts whistle, the white
walled frame of the farmer;
the eapacious brick of the mer-
chant; the cornieed and porti-
coed mansion of the millionaire,
and the golden laid palace Of
the king, al are classed as
"home." That they are places
where many are passing their
lives, we well know, but how
many of them areshelaes in the
true sense of that sacred word.
~, There is d wide difference be-
tween a. t''home" and a ''resi-
dence. Oneis q heaven upon
earth, the other we'll nigh a
paRdenoIlium. Love and con-
tentment make a home. These
are its guardian angels. While
they hover around its walls it
is a home in reality as well as
in name. When they take their
fight there is q sad change.
In the crowded thoroughfare,
in the country village, by the
waysidc, on every hand, a hun
bred times almost each day, we
hear the expression, "Let us go

their own transportation, on giving their
parole to abandon the enterprise and return
to their homes; above the rank Of field Oth-
GERS will be required to give such bonds as
NAV be satisfactory to the civil authorities.
It being the discrimination Of the United
States Government to preserve neutrality,
and the most Stringent measures having
been taken to prevent all aecessions Of mon
and material, the commanding General
trusts these liberal offers will have the ef-
feet of causing the expedition, now nope
less. to be quietly and peaceably abandoned,
and he confidently expects all those VINO
