she scrubbed the porch deacon. I'll

from his cart in the door-yard.

Being in the act of emptying a four
gallon bucket of soap, the good man
vouchsafed no reply. When the jellied
mass had quivered and splashed into

in season to see the gay little pony shy
at the cart and 60 tearing down the
road.
They'll upset! they'll be killed! Run
after 'em! Do something!" shrieked
Mrs. Clutter.
..Don't get excited, wife; they're all
right now. That girl drives like a

And picking up his bucket, the mod
crate deacon marched off for second
supply of soap. But though the little
incident had failed to shake his nerves,
it did make him oblivious of his Wife's
wash-tub poised on the landing OF the
! dim stairway, and, as a natural conse-
.quence, he put his foot in it. The tub
rolled; the deacon swayed like pestle

THOR OF SHEET. HOMER


BURIED IN OAK HILL CEMETERY, WASHING
TON, D. G., JUNE 8, 1883.
oh, dews and flowers of splendid June,
With pearls and garlands grace his tomb
Who taught Milan's dear Maid the tune
That times the whole worlds loving feet,
TO which all golden hearts shall beat,
Where'er they wait or weep, or roam,
OF Home, Sweet Home" forever.
.Our mariner on the Spanish main,
The tattered miner in his tent,
The wanderer on the throbbing plain
Where yellow moons by simoons wheeled
aSmite Desoation's fiinty shield,
A second Bow of Hopeis bent
In Home, Sweet Home forever
And when to bugle and the blast
Where battle turns the lilies red,
Through flashing columns standing fast
The soldier cuts his narrow lane
That lets him through to Glory's fame,
He hears an angel overhead
Sing 'Home, Sweet Home forever.
The weary traveller who waits
In twilight's dim and drear abode
The opening of the Pearly Gates,
That some faint ray or friendly star
May shine abroad through doors ajar
And show his fading eyes the road,
Signs Home, Sweet Home forever.
"A camp of Blue a camp of Gray,
peaceful river rolled between,
Were pitched two rifeshots away;
The sun had set the West aglow,
Inc evening clouds were crimson snow,
The twinkling camp-fires family seen
Across the dark ming river;
Then foated from the Federal band
The "Spangled Banners" starry strain;
The Grays struck up their :. Dixie Land,
And s. Rally Round and Bonnie Blue
And q Red and White = alternate flew
All, no such flights shall cross again
The Rappahannock River!
And then, above the glancing "beam
OF song" bugle warbled low,
Like some bird startled from dream,
Home, Home, Sweet Home" and voices
rang,
And Gray and Blue harmonious sang
All other songs were like the snow
Among the pines when winds are stilled,
And hearts and voices throbbed and thrilled
No matter what the Flag unfurled
All Untce DOmun rules the world!
Sweet Singer of the Song Of men,
Thou CONTEST late to claim thine own,
But when the daisies rise again
Arrayed in all thy borrowed dust,
The world will hold thy words in trust,
And ages chant from zone to zone
Thy Home, Sweet Home forever.
The Memnon murmured song, they thought
When dawning day his lips impressed
And flushing marble warmed and caught
The sweet Ionic of the Greek;
-Ah, truer far thy lips shall speak,
For thee the nighttime has no bars
Welcome, dear heart, and take thy rest
At" Home, Sweet Home forever.
