TIE THREE HOMES.

Where is Thy home T. | asked chilt,
Who. in the morning air.
Was lwining flowers most sweet and mild
In gsrlsnds for her hair.
"My home" the happy heart replied.
And smiled in childish glee,
"ls on the sunny mounisin's side,
Where soft winds wander free.
Oh blessings fall on aress youth,
And all lis rosy hours,
Where every word is JOY and ruth,
And treasure lives in flowers.
"Where is thy home p asked Of one
Who bent with flushing face,
TO hear warriors tender tone.
In The wild woods secret place.
She spoke not, but her varying cheek
Irhe tale might well inpar
The home of her young spirit meek
Wss in kindred heart.
All spirits that might soar above.
To earth will fondly cling,
And build their hopes on human love,
That light and fragile thing.
"Wher is lhy home, lonely man =
asked pilgrim gray,
Who came, with furrowed brow and wan,
Slow musing hn the way.
He paused, and with solemn mien,
Upiurned his holy eyes
"The land seek thou ne'er hast seen
My home is in the skies.
Oh, bes,. thrice best, the soul must be,
TO whom such thoughts are given,
rha, walks from worldly letters Tree
lis only home in heaven.
