HOME AND THEE.
BY s. TREVOR FRANCIS.


Home, home of light and glory,
Ny lone heart signs for thee,
Thy cleaning golden pathways
Of bliss l long to see,
This world to me is dreary,
With sin it is opprest
My spirit, worn and weary,
Pants still for home and rest.
And sometimes, mid tho shadows
That darkens over me,
Faith bears me to that country
Where ! shall one day be.
Its starry thrones of glory,
It's crowns of life and light,
All radian with His presence,
Greet my enraptured sight.
Then eometh a soft whisper,
Oh, child, twill not be long
Ere thou shalt .joiu the ransomed,
And sing the glory song"
So now, O blessed Jesus,
For Thee l look and pray,
With weary eyelids waiting,
And watching day by day.
Like some lonn bird in exile,
That upward cannot fly,
That longs for the fair woodland
The breeze and summer sky,
So III my inmost yearning,
My souls deep sympathy,
/ groan with earnest longing,
For Home, for Rest, for Thee.
An, seeing Thee, Lord Jesus,
Who suffered. bled and died,
My utmost utmost yearning,
Will then be satisfied.
And midst that sea OF glory
That then shall sweep DER me,
This shall be all my heaven,
That an there with Thee.

TO MY MOTHER.

The following touchingly beautiful lines
are from the Ohio State Journals aud were
written by Il convict in the Ohio Peniten-
tiary. The man who can write such poe
try cannot be utterly depraved.
I've wandered far from thee, mother,
Far from q happy home;
I've left the home that gave me birth,
In other elin,es TO roam;
Aud timc, since then, has roll'd its years,
Aud mar'd them on my brow;
Yet, have often thought of thee
I'nI thinking Of thee now.
I'm thinking on the day, mother,
When at my tender side.
You watch'd the dawning of my youth,
And kiss'd ne in your pride;
Then brightly was my heart lit up
With hope of future Joy.
While your bright fancy honors wove
TO deck thy darling boy.
I'm thinking of the day, mother,
When, with such anxious care,
You lifted up your heart to Heaven
Your hope, Your trust was there:
Fond memory brings thy parting words,
When tears roli'd down your cheek;
Thy long, last, loving look told more
Than ever words could speak.
I'm far away from thee, mother;
No friends is near me now,
To soothe me with tender word
Or cool my burning brow
The dearest tics affection wove
Are all now torn from me:
They left me when the trouble came,
They did not love like thee.
I'm lonely and forsaken now,
Unpitied and unblest,
Yet still 1 would not have thee know
How sorely I'm DISTRESSED
know You would not chide, mother,
You would not give me bleme,
But soothe me with your tender words,
Aud bid me hope again.
/ would not have thee know, mother,
How brightest hopes decay,
The tempter with his baleful cup
He dashed them ali away.
And shame has left it's venom sting
To rack with anguish wild
Yet still would not have thee know
The sorrows of thy child
Oh! have wandered far, mother,
Since / deserted thee,
And left thy trusting heart to break,
Beyond the deep blue sea.
Oh Mother, still I love thee well,
Aud long to hear thee speak,
And feel again thy balmy breath
Upon nay careworn cheek.
But, alb there is thought, mother,
Pervades my beating breast,
That thy freed spirit may have flown
TO its eternal rest:
And while I wipe the tear away,
There whispers i'll my ear
A voice that whispers of Heaven and thee,
And bids me seek thee there.
