Dream ng of days gone by;
The tear.drops fell on each wrinkled check,
They Doth had thoughts they could not speak,
And each heart uttered a sigh

Three little chairs placed sid o by eide
Against the sitting room wall
Old.iasnioaed enough es there they stood,
Thelr seats OF nag and their frames OF wood,
With thsir backs 30 straight and tall.
Then the sire shook hia sllvery head.
And Win trembling voice he gently said:
Mother, these empty chaifsl
Ilney bring as such sad sad thong hts to. night,
won put them forever out OF siGht
In the small, dark room upstairs"
But she answered: Father, no, not yet,
For LOOK at them, and forget -
That the children are away;
Ihe boys come bsck, ard our Mary, too,
With her apron on of checkered biae,
And sit here every day.
" Johnny still whittles ships tall masts,
And Willie lis leaden bilets cnsts,
While Mary her patchwork sews
Az evening time three childish prayers
90 up 20 9Jd rom these little chairs,
30 softly that no one knows.
" Johnny comes back from the billowy deep,
Willie wakes from his battle fed sleep,
To cay good night to me;
Mnry's wife and mother no more,
But tirs d caild whose playtima is DER,
And comes to TEST at my knee.
" SO lot them stand there, though empty now,
And every time wh.n alone we bJw
At he Father's throne to pray,
Well ask to meetthe children above
In our SaviOur'e home OF re st and love,
Where no child goeth away"
