THE SANE DEAR HOME.


They tarried in the wildwood,
Two children sweet and fair.
Though the autumn winds were blowing,
And the trees were almost bare.
But soon the twain grew weary
That lovingly did roam:
And Mary said: s'Ohi Johnny,
Which way shall we go homer
But the children were divided;
One said: Across the hill
We can see the sunset, Mary,
And the big wheel of the mill
But the other chose the main road,
As the hour was growing late
So they went their way divided,
Meeting at the garden gate.
- You came pour way" said Johnny.
{" And, Mary, came mine;
YON plucked the roadside berries,
/ stripped the mountain vine:
You passed the fields and meadows
saw the oceans foam;
Yet we have met together .
Here, in the same GeGr home"
Dear, little, merry children,
You may not think the same;
Your taste 8 may be a different
AS each familiar name.
But as brothers. and as sisters,
Whichever way you roam,
Let all your fond thoughts center
In the same dear, happy home.
