MOTHER, HOME AND HEAVEN.
THE SWEETEST WORDS IN THE INGLIsE
LANGUAGE ARE "MOTHER, HOME
AND uEAvEN.''

Did ever note steal down to eartl,
From serapl's quivering Tyre,
Fraught with deeper tone of love,
And wild affections fire
10 which so much of cherished thought,
So much of love is given,
AS to those words which swectly tell
OF Mother, Home and Heaven?
Others are words Of Joy and woe Ia
That strangely sway the heart,
And low within its treasured depths
Their thrilling echoes start;
Yet there's no other power by whicb
Its founts so deep are riven
AS by those gentle words which speak
OF Neither, Home and Heaven.
Go mid the oceans briny spray,
Where towering pillows rise.
And wave on wave leaps proudly up
With thunderings to the skies,
And ask the sailor in his bark,
O'er those wild waters driven,
What nerves his soul: hen tell thee
thoughts
/ Of Mother, Home and Heaven.
Go ask the lonely prisoner
While dropping in his cell, [oft
What where the treasured words which
With winning influence fell
Upon his Maynard soul which long
With sin and care had striven?
He'll whisper, ooh, those sweetest
words,
Ny Mother, Home and Heaven"
Oh, yes, there's magic in those names
10 nerve in trials hour,
And to the soul bowed down with sin
They come with hottest power;
And there is naught on earth which will
The wild affections leaven
AS those sweet words which tell the
heart
Of Mother, Home and Heaven.
But, oh in Deaths still hour the soul
Their sweetest power can know;
And when he comes to place his seal
In paleness. on my brow,
I do but ask this precious thought
Of love and hope be given
A boon to guide my spirit on
"My Mother, Home and Heaven
