They Want to GO Home.

Il happened to be in one of the
wards of the Children's hospital some
time ago. said lady to the historian
the other day. lat the hour when at the
beginning of the short winter twi-
LIGHT the children had been prepared
for sleep. 1t was beautiful sight to
see the little canvalescents kneeling in
their little cots and lisping Our
Father" and Now lay me down to
Sleep" and even more touching and
beautiful to see those who were too
weak to rise lifting their tiny weak
hands in prayer. Suddenly one poor
little baby in distant corner set up
pitiful, wailing cry:
81 want to go home; | want to 90
homer
THE words were taken and repeated
from many cot. 1t brought the
tears into my eyes, and | said TO the
nurse:

the other poor little things lie very
patiently all day, but when the evening

come a great longing for Their homes

I'm thinking Of my friend to-day,
And of the time when we first met;
Tho rolling years may pass away,
I'll ne'er forget,
How, a. sailing down life's river,
An eddy in the flowing tide
Caused our barks To come together,
Side by side,
For while, and then To sever.
Alas, too soon, we had TO part;
But fond memories linger ever
In the heart
I'm lonely since apart we've been,
And oft | long for thee again.
seek thee in each changing scene
But in vain.
Yet most sincerely do pray
Some friendly turn of wind or tide
Nav bringlour barks once more some day
Side by side.
But we will surely meet again,
When troubled waters all subside
Where partings neer will bring us pain.
Where joys abide.

and there was nobody to notice wnat had

shouting until he became hOarse. Finally
he became so exhausted that he was com

box, tried TO devise some way TO liberate
himself.
Then he began to feel sleepy, and in q

he was freezing To death. He tdrew his
body violently against the door time and
