My little children have grown away,
Grown away from the land OF play
Grown to be men and women tail,
With passions and loves and hates and all
That comes to US when We grow away
From childish play.
NV little children that were so dear,
How can help but wish them here
With arms round nv neck in the Old loving
way
have not known for MANI day.
Not since home was my kingdom, precious aud
sweet,
Filled with the music of patterng feet.
Those feet that have led them away from me
Into the world and over the sea,
Leaving me here in ms lonely room
That even in sunshine seems full of gloom,
And 50 very lonely needs must cry
For the days gone b..

Aud can not but wish it might have been
But the Father of love, who dwells in the
light
Took some Of IN babies out of my sight
Took them away to His home of rest
And know, though I can not tell why, twas
best.
So I'm trusting our Lord, and can clearly
see
That in that dear land our home shall be,
And though The children have gone away
We shall meet again, oh blessed day,
When He Will call-t0 Heaven we come
And find once more our happy home.

The Husbands Present.
III sYLvANUs com, JR.


1t was a bitter cold night on the twenty
fourth Of December The snow lay deep up
on the frozen earth, and the bright moon,
riding halfway up the heavens, lent crys-
talline lustre 10 the scene In the high road
a short distance from a quiet, reposing village
stood the form of human being. His gar
ments we're scant and tatlered, 10y far insult
fcient to keep out the biting frost; his frame
shook AMI trcmbled like the ice bound boughs
OF the weeping willow that grew near him,
and his face, as the mOonbeams now danced
upon it, exhibited all the fearful foot prints
of the demon intemperance. Poor, wretched,
debased. he looked and such, ia truth, he
WAS.
Before him, at the end Of d neatly fenced
and trellised enclosure stood a small cottage.
1t was elegant in its simple neatuess and just
such a one the humble lover Of the true com
fort and JOY would seek for a home. The
tears rolled down the b!oated cheek Of the
inebriate as he gaze upon the cottage, and
at length, as lie casped his hands In agony,
lie murmured:
''Oh, thou fond home Of mf happier DAYS,
thou loolest like heaven of the past. Be
meath thy roof | was married to the idol Of
ny SOUL and within thy peaceful walls, God
gave 10 me Two blessed children My wife
God bless her gentle sOui-was happy then,
and my chidren-may heaven protect them
laughed and played in gleesom9 pleas ure.
Glyduess smiled upon US then, and every hour
was n season OF bliss. But lost thee, as the
fool loseth his own salvatIon Six years have
passed since the demon that l took to my
heart drove US from your sheltcring roof
And those six years Oh, what misery, what
agony, what sorroHs, and what degradation,
have they not brought 10 me Gnd my poor
family! Home, health, wealth, peace JOY, and
friends are gonc-all, all gone! Oh, thou
fatal cup-no, l will not blame Hsei 1t was
J. Iwho did it! Year after year, tempered
with thy deadly sting, when l knew that
death aud destruction iurked in thy smiles
But" and The poor mau raised his eyes TO
heaven as he spoke, 'thcye is room on earth
for another man-E.d I agA be that mGalf'
Within the only apartment Of a miserable
and almost broken down hoveI, sat a woman
and two children-a bog and a girl The cold
wind found its entrance through hundred
crevices. and as its biting gusts swept through
the room, the mother and her children
crouched nearer TO tie few dying embcrs that
