lots of richness lying around in the ground

GONE HOME ON CHRISTMAS MoRNlN

TITS u practice tender In many lands,
The dull waste OF the years adjoining,
That the children all listen TO loves command
And 80 home Oh Christmas morning.
From the labor that may be so far away
From the rOoftree that may DO nearer,
The wde-scattered flock on that holy day
Find the one home older and dearer.
To greet the old father, with gray, bowed head
And the mother, with eyesight falling,
To learn what of joy the past season has shed,
Or what may be wanting or ailing.
To see II the parents remember as well
As the children they sired and tended
The glad summons that rings IN the Christmas bell
For waiting and absence ended
All, beautiful customl to which nevermoro
May the Christian world be q stranger,
While He is remembered our sins who bore
From his Christmas birth In the Manager.
And vet l am sad--oh, so sorry and sad,
Because on this Christmas morning
one 80 dear-oh. the dearest and best that had
Has gone home with 80 little warning.
To his Fathers house with the portals of pearl,
TO His table whore none can hunger,
To the River Of Life, whose soft eddy and swirl
Make the bather, aye, iarer and younger
To the welcoming hand and the warm embrace,
To the gifts that neer perish with using
To the well-pleased smiles ON the Fathers face,
We are on so fearful OF losing.
Toal that is sweetest and dearest and best,
And richest beyond our dreaming,
And the bliss which Is born In The isles of the Dlest
And has neither fading nor seeming
And yet am weeping, my selfish loss
For the moment Is bghtng and binding,
So that even the promise OF crown aud cross
seems beyond my poor weak finding
Make me wise, OH Father to bear this pain
For his sake so beatlded yonder,
To embrace all Thy mercies with heart and brain
In faith that Is humber and fonder
Till learn what blessing came to ms all,
Halfmlscaled In our donbting and scorning,
When my husband obeyed the All Fathers call,
And went home on Christmas morning.

The Centennial celebration at Philadelphia was
the beginning ofmany new industries. In no di-
rection, however, was 1t more apparent than in
the growth of the interest in silk handkerchief
Prior to this time these articles were but few, and
of no special beauty except in rare cases. The
jacquard looms in machinery hall were con-
purchasers, who waited with ill-eoncealed impa-
tiencc for the completion of handkerchief, which
they might carry away as souvenir. From this
point may be dated the call for silk brOcaded
hnndkerchicis until they have become staple
article Of trade. The Palais Royal has by far the
finest silk hundkerchieis in the city.
