POETICAL.
THE HOME OF TWENTY YEARS
AGO.

Fond Fancy brings to dreaming eyes
A picture sweet and clear
And, as J gaze, new beauties rise,
And MANY an image dear.
'Tis not Of hOary castle gray,
Nor hamlet on the down,
Nor where the lingering moonbeams play
Ger ancient tower or town
But sleeping now in summers light
And now in winters snow,
She brings the home again tonight
Of twenty years ago.
Sweet spot thou hadst no frowuing walls,
No battlement nor mere;
But in thy hospitable halls
What gladstone light aud cheer!
How innocent the mirth and jest,
How fondy beamed each eye.
How kindly welcomed was the guest
Oflow estate or high!
Oh happy Earth, II in thy round
All might such welcome know,
As in that home each pilgrim found
OF twenty years ago.
And where are they? The happy band
Who gathered round their sire,
And prayed for tale of foreign land
Beside the evening fire;
The laughing girls, the brighteyed boys,
The youth, the maid were there;
The lettering infant spread his toys
Beside his mothers chair,
But now how drear each well-known room
When fades the sunset glow
For but one lamp lights up the homo
Oftwenty years age.
One who had dwelt for years afar
Found in thy shades grave
Some wander where the evening star
Sinks in the western wave
Once gathered meath thy roof;
For duty calls, and they obey
Her high and stern behoof.
Yet from each heart fond prayers will rise
When Fancy does but show
That pictured home 10 dreaming eyes
OF twenty years ago.
