A small mouse, for a long time, had its own

And from house to house it run to look for
Not seeing any cat. the mouse got bold,
And everywhere it tried to lay its hold.
Alarmingly the damage Of the small mouse
Was felt in e~verybody's house;
The want of q cat was sorely felt
Ts drive the mouse from the place it dwelt.
A cat was sought for from day to day
Tho small destroying m0use to slay;
The cat appeared and found the mouse's
nest,
Where the mouse, tremblingly, sought for
rest.
The mouse begun to feel its disgrace,
Seeing the cat master of the place,
And, watching the appearance Of the mouse,
The cat did not want to leave its house.
The mouse, driven to its last resort,
Tried to sally forth from its hidden fort;
make the cat feel its poisonous teeth,
When compelled faco to face to meet.
The cat, when its small prey she saw.
Wagged its tail and uttered its !" new"
And said, Thou art too small q fry,

But take my friendly advice to thee:
Hide thyself and don't provoke me.

To get rid Of such a pest;
And VIC will see who il master in this house,

The Old Home with Father
and Mother.

There's one hallowed place in childhood.
Where we ever feel free from ill
Where the sweet, holy hush Of the twilight
Seems = whisper Of "Peace, be still,"-
While fond mothers kind, gentle teachings
Fall lovingly then on our ears,
And fathers dear smile Of affection
Is balm for all sorrows and tears.
Once severed from this, there is never another
That seems like the Old Home with Father and
Mother.
Sometimes wc grow tired Of the Old ways,
And like robins that fit from tho nest,
The world seems smiling and sunny,
We think its broad highway the best;
So we leave good-by with the homestead,
And ny out where gayety sings,
But we find there is q world full Of danger
For poor little unfedged wings.
But one path seems brighter 10 Us than another
The path that leads homewari to Father and
Mother.
The years ~ they como up 10 meet US,
May furrow our brows with their care,
But they cannot blot out from our memory
The touch Of mothers kiss there;
And tho Time may reach out his old fingers,
And weave In our hair silver thread,
Yet he never can mar our frst blessing
A fathers dear hand on our head.
These sweet thoughts still nger above every other
When we think Of the Old Home, with Father
and Mother.

these alone. Time is not entirely
dreary Of its fight. It fills the
grave, but it fills the cradle; it
blights the rose, but it fringes
the forest with golden beauty; it
crumbles thrones, but it gives light
to republics it robs us of earth,
but 1t gives US heaven it raised
the cross, but it burst open a lock-
ed paradise it separates loving
hearts, but it again unites them !;
it covers its own frowning wrecks
with loneliness and bloom and de-
stroys but to beautify and ennoble.

When John came home to supper

took down his hat.

My foolish, jealous heart rose in
my throat, and stood hurt and

John kissed me and kissed baby
in her crib. Then he took of his
coat and threw it on chair.
"If you don't feel too tired, lit
tie wife, you might fasten in that
