THE OLD HOMESTEAD.
BY ALICE CARY.

BY ALICE CARY.
When skies arc growing warm and bright
And in the woodland bowers,
The Spring-time in her pale, faint robes
Is calling mp the flowers
When all with naked little feet
The children in the morn
Go forth and in the burrows drop
The seeds of yellow corn,
What 4 beautiful embodiment
OF ease, devoid of pride,
In the good old-fashioned homestead
With the doors set open wide
Bnt when the happiest time is come
That to the year belongs,
When all the wales are glled with gold
And all the air with songs;
When fields of yet unripened grain
And yet ungarned stores
Remind the thrifty husbandman
OF ampler threshing floors,
How pleasant from the din and dust
Of the thOrongh-farc aloof,
Stands the old-fashioned homestead,
With steep and messy roof!
When home the woodman plods with axe
Upon his shoulder SWING,
Ard in the knotted apple tree
Are scythe and sickle hung;
When low about her clay-built nest
The mother swallow trills,
And decorously slow, the cows
Are vending down the hills,
What blessed picture of comfort
In the evening shadows red,
is the good Old-fashioned homestead,
With its bounteous table spread!
And when the winds moan wildly,
When the woods are bare and brown,
Aud when the swallows c1ay-built nest
From the rafter crumbles down;
When all the untrod garden paths
Are heaped with frozen leaves,
And icicles, like silver spikes,
Are set along the caves;
Then when the book from the shelf is
brought,
And the fire-lights shine and play,
In the good old-fashioned homestead,
Is the farmers holiday.
But whether the brooks be fringed with
flowers
Or whether the dead leaves fall
And whether the air be full of songs,
Or never q song ut all,
AMI whether the vines of the strawberries
Or frosts through the grasses run.
And whether it rain or whether it shine,
Is all to me as one,
For bright as brightest sunshine
The light of memory streams
Round the old-fashioned homestead.
Where dreamed my dream of dreams.

THE GRECL4N BEND.
BY LYDIA L. a. VERY.

.
Let's have the old bend, and not have tho
new;
Lets have the bend that our grandma
theirs knew;
That is the bend that our daughters should
learn.
Let's have the bend that our crandmo:
theirs knew;
Over the cradle like good mothers true:
Over the table, (the family round,)
Reading the Good Book nib silence pro-
found
Lets have the bend that at church they
did wear,
Bowling them lowly in meek, humble
prayer;
No sitting erect, with the modern-miss air.
With the Glove of a bonnet" inst perched
OH one hair.
Leave the camel his hump-hc wears it
for nse;
Leave the donkey his pannier-and cut
yourselves loose
From fashions that lower, leform and de.
grade
To hide some deformity most Of them
maze.
Let our heads of false hair and hot warm
skeins be shorn;
Let our garments be easy and light to be
worn;
Don't shake in December and swcitcr in
June,
Aud appear like unfortunates struck by
the moon.
Let's spend the time in things higher than
dress!
Time that was given us to aid and to bless;
Time that is 1leetinS and passes away;
o! let us work while we call it to-day!
Let's have the old bend instead of the new;
Let's have the old hearts, so faithful and
true;
Away with all fashions that lower and de.
grade
10 hide some deforniity most of them
made,
