Happy is the business man who can
find that solace and that poetry at home.
Warm greetings from loving hearts, fond
glances from bright eyes, and welcome
shouts of merry-hearted children, the
many thousand little arrangements tor
comfort and enjoyment, that silently
tell of thoughtful and ezpectant love,
these are the ministrations that reconcile
us to the prose Of life. Think Of this,
ye wives and daughters ofbusiness men
Think of the tolls, the anxieties, the
notification and wear that fathers IN
dergo to secure for you comfortable
homes, and compensate them for their
tolls. BY making them happy by their own
ireside.
