ana the same dear mctheT-lovc watched US
both,
sharing our childish griefs and JOYS,
let you are almost a stranger now;
Tour ways and mine are as far apart
Is though we never had thrown an arm
About each other with loving heart.
Your city home IS a palace, Tom:
Your wife ana children are fair 10 see;
You couldn't breathe in the little cot.
The little home that belongs TO me.
And am lost in your grand, large house,
And dazed with the wealth on every side,
And hardly know my brother, Tom.
In the midst of so much stately pride.
Yet the concert was grand, last night.
The singing splendid, bat, do you know.
Ny heart kept longing, che evening through,
For another concert, soswect and low
That maybe il wouldn't please the ear
OF one SO cultured and grand as you;
But 10 its music-laugh ifyou will
Ny heart aud thoughts must ever be true.
| shut my eyes in the hall last night
For the clash Of the music weaTied me-
And close in nv heart this vision came
The same sweet picture always see:
In the yine-clad porch OF q cottage home,
Half in shadow and half In sun,
\ mother chanting her lullaby,
Rocking to rest her little one.
And soft and sweet rs the music fell
From the mothers lips, heard the COO
Of my baby girl, as with drowsy tongue
She echoed the song with -GOo-a-gOO,''
Together they sang the mother aud babe,
Ny wife and child. By the cottage door
th. that Is the concert, Brother Tom,
Ny ears are aching 10 hear once more
~ now gOOd-by. And / wish you wen.
And many year Of wealth and gain,
l0l were born to be rich and gay:
! am content 10 be poor and plain
And / 20 back to my country home
With a love that absence has strengthened,
too
Back to the concert all my own
Mothers singing and baby's COO.

Every body complains of the hard
times. Railroad brakemen and firemen
strike, claiming that it is impossible to
earn decent living at the rates now paid
by the companies; business men all over
the country reduce the wages and num-
Der of their employees; the poor livef from
hand to mouth, and some of the aristoc-
racy have lately been forced to the pain
full necessity of pawning or selling few
of their surplus jewels in order TO keep
up appearances and maintain their po
sition in society.
There seems TO be also dearth of news.
The Russian war and the recent railroad
disturbances have been godsend TO the
newspapers, for the latter have suffered
as well as other industries In the general
depression of business.
In addition to the scarcity OF news,
there appears 10 be, IN certain quarters, q
paucity of ideas.
The average local editor Is often at his
wits end for something new, and in con-
sequence, items like the following are
published and republlshed from time 10
time, until the public is surfeited with
them:
Mr.. Jedediah Oldfogy, Of Pumpkin
Hollow, is one hundred and seventy-fve
years of age, and never was sick day in
