a WORD FOR THE MoTHER.-
Send the children to bed with kiss and a
smile;
Sweet childhood will tsrry at best but a while;
And soon they viii pass from the portals Of
The wilderness ways of their Ife-wOrk to roam.
Yes, tuck them in bed with gentle 50 good
nightin
The mantle Of shadows is yelling the light;
And maybe-GOd knows-on this sweet little
face,
May fan deeper shadows in life's weary race.
Yes, say it God bless my dear children,
pray!
It may be the last you viii say It for aye
The night may be long ere you see them agaIni
And mOtherless children may cali you in vain;
Drop sweet benediction on each little head,
And fold them in prayer as they nestle IN bed

rejoice for the good.
Ho5IE is not name, nor a form, nor
a routine. It Is a spirit, a presence, a
principle. Material and method will
not, and cannot make it. 1t must get
its light and sweetness from those who
inhabit It, from flowers and sunshine,
from the sympathetic natures which, in
their exercise of sympathy, can lay aside
the tyranny OF the broom, and the awful
duty Of endless scrubbiBg.
In great city like London there are
always houses which, from some acci-
dental cause, pass aW8y from any re-
sponsible ownership. Sometimes they
are occupied by tenants who, In the first
instance, pay no rents, and then gradu-
ally assume the rights Of landlords. It
IS said there is a company IN London
solely to make a profit by
taking possession of such property and
either holding it or finding owners.
