Oh, no; our glorified kindred are going to

Heaven is not a stately, formal place, as
sometimes hear it described, very frigidity

enjoying the evening hour, there is knock

comes in brother that has been long alb

not seen him, and no sooner do you make up
your mind that it is certainly he then you
leap up, and the question is who shall give
him the first imbrace.
That is my idea of heaven.-a great home

A DISCOURSE BY
REV. T. DEWITT TALMAGE.

SHALL WE KNOW EACH OTHER IN HEAvENP
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1882-12-28

Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with
gold,
Fall on your shoulders again, as of old;
Let it drop over my forehead tonight,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light,
For with its sunny-edged shadows once more,
HAPPY will throng the sweet visions Of yore;
Lovingly, softly, its bright pillows Sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep.
Mother, dear mother, the years have been
long,
Since last listened your lullaby song;
Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhood's years have been only a dream.
Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my
face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1882-12-28

Tired of the hollow, the base, the
untrue,
Mother, O mother, my heart calls
for you;
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded, our faces between,
Yet, with strong yearning and passionate
pain,
Long tonight for your presence again.
Come from the silence so long and so Deep
Rock nc to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep.
Over my heart, in the days that are flown,
No love like mother-love ever has shone;
No other worship abides and endures
Faithful, unselfsh, and patient, like yours;
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and the world weary
brain.
Slumber's soft Gains DER my heavy lids
creep,
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep.

The former measure having now gone

was afterwards found dead. Hand was
afterwards arrested, but was not in-
