When Far From Home.

When far from home, and loved ones,
The silent tear starting,
Bedims the rough pathway,
Where friendless roam,
The balm, that can soften
The sorrow of parting,
May often be found in a
Letter from home.
For, who can have wandered
Alone, and a stranger,
And felt his being with
Ecstacy thrill,
To know that through
Solitude, sadness and danger,
The thoughts of his mother
Have followed him still.
How treasured, and dear, are
The words of affection,
When traced by the hand
That was friends true gage
And how swiftly, as read to
My fond recollection,
Comes back the dear face
That bent over the page.
All! yes, there are ties. that
No distanc, can sever
They girdle the mountain,
And span the broad form,
And love does but rivet them
Closer, whenever
1t speaks to the heart in
A letter from home.

would not throw a stone at a mule when
ne gets chance would be considered by
his parents too mean to raise. The mule
is good worker, but he cannot be de-
pended upon. He is liable to strike, and
when he strikes human calculation fails
to find any rule by which to reckon when
he will go to work again. 1t is useless to
pound, for he will stand more beating
than sitting-room carpet. He has been
known to stand eleven days in one spot,
apparently thinking about something,
and start off again as though nothing had
happened.
To fully appreciate the mule one should
listen to his voice. You never can really
know whether you like mule or not till
you hear him sing. 1 attended mule

The wagon train was in front. The mules
were starved for water. The gallant Clei-
burne was protecting the rear. Thomas

then swung into duet, and then pranced
off into trio, followed by quartet and

GOOD WORDS FOR THE MULE.
Points i'm His Character Not Gener.
ally KnOwn-A Picture of
Innocence.

l know that the mule is the only ami
NAL that Noah didn't take into the ark
with him. Hooked over the freight list
carefully, and could not see mule way
billed for any place. So clear-headed a
man as Noah did not dare to take one on
board, as he knew he would kick hole
through her in less than week. Idon't
know man on whose head you could
pour quicksilver and run less risk of spill
ing it than on Noah's. He was dread
full level-headed man, and before the
freshet was over everybody on earth re-
allied the fact. The origin of the mule is
enveloped in good deal of mystery.
Tradition informs us that when the food
had subsidized and the ark had lained on
Mount Ararat, Noah was very much sur
prised in one of his observations to find a
good, healthy mule standing on the top
of an adjoining mountain. The same
tradition informs us that the mule is the
only animal that lived through the flood
outside the ark. The mule can be con-
sidered in great many ways, though
the worst place to consider him is directly
from behind, anywhere within a radius OF
ten feet. I never consider mule from
that point unless am looking through
the fue of boiler.
The mule has one more leg than a
milking stool, and he can stand on one
and wave the other three round in as
many different directions. He has only
three senses hearing, seeing and smell
ing. He has no more sense of taste than
a stone jar, and will eat anything that
contains nourishment, and he doesn't
care two cents whether it contains one
per cent. or ninety-nine. All he asks is
to pass him along his plate with what
ever happens to be handy round the pan
try, and he won't 60 away and blow how
poor the steak is. He just eats whatever
is set before him and asks no questions.
If 1 were to have large picture OF in.
nocence to hang in cur parlor and l did
not wish to sit myself, l should get a
correct likeness of a mule. There is
enough innocence in a mules counter.
ance to fit out Sunday-school class. Ii
looks as guileless as an angleworm.
A mule never grows old or dies; once
brought into existence, he continues on
forever. Mules are chiefly found in the
South and West. They have been more
abused than Judas Iscariot. A boy who
