THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Welcome, ye pleasant dalcs and hills
Where dream-like passed my early days,
fe ellis and glens and laughing-rills
That sing unconscious hymns Of praise;
Welcome, ye woods with tranquil bowers
Embathed In autumn's mellow sheen,
Where careless childhood gathered flowers,
And slept on mossy carpets green.
The same bright sunlight gently plays
About the porch and orchard trees;
The garden sleeps in noontide haze,
Lulled by the murmuring Of the bees;
The sloping meadows stretch away
To upland field and wooded hill;
The soft blue sky of peaceful day
Looks down upon the homestead still.

Much more 10 sec the pieces we'd,
And wind upon the whirling spool

With rafter, beam, and oaken floor;

And from this cosy childhood nest
Jacks bcan-stalk reaches to the skies.

The open fireplace glowing bright,
While brchen sticks with cracking sound
Send forth rich and ruddy light;
The window-sill is piled with slcct

Whose memories hang in golden frames,
Resting beneath the naples glow,
Where few e'cr read your chisclcd names,
Come back, as in that Christmas night,
And fill the vacant chairs Of mirth!-
All me! the dream Is lltOO bright,
And ashes lie upon the hearth.
Below the wood. beside the spring,
Two little children are at play,
Andhopc that bird Of viewlcss wing.
Sings in their hearts the livelOng day;
The acOrns pattcr at their feet,
The squirrel chatters meath the trees,
And life and love are all complete
They hold Aladdin's lamp and KEYS.

And though the springs no longer mine,

For hcalth'S sake and for yariety's
sake, as well as the dignity of manuel
labor itself. andto keep the monk in
memory of his vocation to penance and
to Sclf.dcnial, the hand must work as
well as the head. In the monastery"
proper no servants are allowed; each
monk, from first to last, must be his
own servant, even to the making of his
bed, sweeping of his cell, and cleaning
of his shoes. Besides this, cloisters
must be swept and stair cases and
dormitOrcs. and there are many
things to be done outside in the garden
and other parts of the inclosurc,
whether it be sweeping walks or dig
ging or planting trees or flowers.
All this is attended to by the monks,
who generally have special portions of
such work allotted to them, and GER
tain hours of the day assigned to
emanuel labor" So the day slips by,
in calm and happy ac;ivity--no, not a
''fuguc," " for there is no tagging of one
part behind the other, or hurry or
clash or wild movement, but n gentle
harmony on simple theme, with a
solemn accompaniment of tolling bells
and professions and hyms of praise,
varied with the bright smile and the
cheerful laugh and the merry jokes of a
recreation hour, or the weekly ramble
