With lofty arching doors;
There Is carving on the ceilings high,
And velvet On the floors;

Ny pictures are the pride of Art.
Aud drawn by coming hands;
But the painted figures neFermsve,
Nor change the painted lands;
Before the poorest window
More gorgeous pagoants glide,
Within the lowliest household
More lielko groups abide
And turn from soulless symbols. that crowd
my gloomy hall,
To watch the shifting shadows upon the cottage
wall.
Ny stately husband never bends
TO kiss rae on the lips;
His heart Is In his iron safe.
His thoughts are with his ships;
But when the twilight gathers
Adown the dusky street,
The little housewife listens
For sounds Of coming feet;
And BY, the cleaning freight see figure
Bend down to kiss shadow. shadow on the

My garden palines. broad and high.
Shut in its costly spoils,
And through the ordered paths all day
he silent gardener tolls;
Nv neighbor's is a grass plat,
With ardy buttsrcup.
Where children's dimpled fingers
Pull dandelions no;
Where on a baby's silken head all day the sun

Till evening throws It's shadows upon the cot

Ny petted lap dog. warm and soft,
Nestles upon my knee;
Ny birds have shut their diamond eyes

Lonely watch my neighbor.
And watching can but weep,
To see her rock her darlings
Upon her treast as eep.
Alas my doves are gentle, my dog comes at
my call,
But there is no childish shadow upon my
chamber wall
My beauty is the talk of fools.
And by the gaslight's glare.
In glttering dress and cleaning gems,

But there is something fairer.
Whose charm in loving lies;
And there is something dearer,
The light Of happy eyes.
So return triumphant queen of the brilliant

To envy the sweet shadow of the housewife on
the wall.
Ny earthly lot is rich and high,
And hers is poor and low;
Yet would give nv heritage
Her deeper joys TO know;
For HUSBANDS tina. are lovers
