OUR OWN.

If I had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unklnd
Would trouble my mind
I said when you went away.
[ had been more careful, darling,
Nor given yOu needless pain;
But we veX " our own
With look and tore
We might never take back again.
For though In the uiet evening
You may give me the kiss OF peace,
Yet well it might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart should cease,
How many 90 forth in the morning
Who never come hCme at night
And hearts have broken
For harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thought for the stranger
And smiles for the sometime guest,
But oft for "our own
The bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best.
All lip with the curve impatient;
All brow with that look of scorn;
'Twere a cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work of morn.

which he was sweeping out lie bad re-
membered stories wherein little boys had
picked up a small piece of money, handed i
to the great merchant or ricn banker, and
been immediately taken into partnership.
SO Theodore stepped up TO the door o. the
brokers' private room and SAID Fiease,
Sir here is a fve-cent piece / found on your

moment and then said, You found that on
