THE OLD, OLD HOME.

When long for sainted memories. 81
Like aDgel troops they come, ass
II fold my arms TO ponder
On the old, old home.
The heart has many passages
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle aisle is sacred
To the old, old home.
Where infancy was sheltered -; -
Like rOsebuds from the blast;
Whore childhood's brief elysium
In j0yousness was passed;
To that sweet spot forever,
Az to some hallowed dome, IT,.
Lies pilgrim bends his vision,
IT'S the old, old home. -:
A father sat how proudly,
BY the old hearthhtone's rays, --.
And told his children stories
OF his early manhood days; s-
And one soft eye was beamiug -.
From child to child 'twould roam,
Thus a mother counts her treasures
In tho old, old home.
The birthday gifts and festivala,
The blended vesper hymn
Some dear one who WAS swelling 1t
Is with the seraphim- p.
The fond goOd-Dights at bedtime,
How quiet slerp would come,
And fold us air together,
In the Old, old home.
Like a wreath of scented flowers,
Close entertained each heart;
But time and change in concert,
Have blown the wreath apart.
I'D
Like angels ever come,
When l fold my arms and ponder
On the old, old home.

Charlrs Keade'S Love for Dogs

No man liked dogs better than
Charles Rcadc. When l first knew

Theatre, The pet of the household was
an obese white Pomrranian known as
"Supcrior Tiny When this superior
creature took his departure, full of
years and honors, and his loss had
been drplorcd for considerable Pc
Rod. The great novelist went down to
the Dogs Home at Ba,tersea-upon an
occasion made memorable by famous
article in The Daily TeIegraphand
bought five dogs, chiefly mongrel, for
he ALWAYS maintained that the n ixeti
breed was the most intelligent of the
canin: species. Three of his purchase
he presented to friends, but ''P"tf, a
monyrcl poodle. and Tiny Number

ESQ we called the lronine one). During
this visit he was taken i'll and confined
to his room for some days. 1t WAS
summer time. and every morning at
$ o'clock, before the household was
uslir, Miss Brbba used to carry the
only two remaining members of her
family to the door of his chamber and
scratch until she was let in. Then she
would take the pups in her mouth and
deposit them on The bed, one on either
side OF Reade. This done, she would
spring up and coil herself around his
neck. Many tim" have l seen them
sleeping thus together; many = time
