the next customer came, we were crowd

GOING HOME.

Going homel We hear it often
From the lips Of those We meet,
When the long days work is ended
And they hurry down the street.
Going homo 50 cry the children,
Whom the dull school hours are out,
And they ill the air with music,
As the welcome words they shout.
Going home so says the wsnderer,
Who has passed his years away,
AnG almost the homo forgotten
Till the coming of to-day.
Going home! the aged pilgrim
On life's journey, weary now,
Feels tits joy to enter Heaven
And at Jesus feet to bow.
Going home! The words are cheering
Hear them often as we may,
For there's no one but will cherish
Thoughts of home when far away.
And If home on earth is pleasant,
After far from it we roam,
What will be the joy of meeting
With the loved in Our Fathers home

The heroine being asked how she

Her wish was complied with, for the

Fallen Leaves.


How they are mixed up, of oil species,
oak and maple, aud chestnut and birch!
But nature is not cluttered with them;
she stores them all. Consider what
vast crop is shed annually on the earth!
This, more than any other mere grain
or seed, is the great harvest of the year.
The trees are now repaying the earth
with interest what they have taken from
it. They are discouuting. They are
about to add leafs thickness to the
depth Of the soil. This is the beautiful
way in which nature gets her muck,
while chatter with this man and that,
who talks to me about sulphur, and the
cost Of carting. We are all the richer
for their decay. I am more interested
in this crop than in the English grass
alone, or the corn. 1t prepares the vir-
gin mold for future corn6elds and for
ests, on which the earth fattens. It
keeps our homestead in good heart.
1t is pleasant to walk over the beds
Of these fresh, crisp, and rustling leaves
How beautifully they 70 to their graves!
howgently lay themselves down and turn
to mold! painted of a thousand hues,
and fit to make the beds of us living.
So they troop to their last resting place,
light and frisky. They put on no
weeds, but merrily they 20 scampering
over the earth. selecting the spot, cboos-
ing lot, ordering no iron fence, whis-
psring all through the woods about it
some choosing the spot where the
bodies of men are moldering beneath,
and meeting them half way. How
many flutterings before they rest quiet
ly in their graves! They that scared SO
loftily, how contentedlv they return to
dust again, and are laid low, resigned to
lie and decay at the foot of. the tree,
and afford nourishment to new genera
tons Of their kind;,sas we'll as to hutter

When the leaves fall, the whole earth
Is cemetery to walk in. I love to
wander and muse over them in their
graves. Here are no lying nor vain
epitaphs. What, though you own no
lot in Mount Auburn, your lot is surely
east somewhere in this vast cemetery,
which has been oonsecrated from Of old.
You need attend no auction to secure
place. There is room enough here
The Loose strife shall bloom, and the
Huckleberry bird sing over your bones.
The woodmsn and hunter shall be your
sections, and the children shall tread
upon the borders as much as they will.
Let US walk in the cemetery of the
leaves-this is your true Greenwood
cemetery.
