WINDS OF HOME.
BY GEORGE BlRDsEYE.


o, winds of home, that from the westward
start,
And blow across the highlands OF my heart,
Do We message bear,
Upon your wings of air,
From her with whom my being forms a
parts
o, winds of home, 1 know what you would
say:
That she is true; and waiting the dear day
When by her side once more
All grief and longing DER,
Together we shall journey on life's way.
o, winds of home, your message fond I
hear;
Mono others words could sound so sweetly
clear.
They echo in my heart;
And now, before we part,
BE this my answer, as You westward veer;
Tell her, though haye roved from her afar,
Her love has shonc above me like star;
And now its holy ray
Shall light me on my way
TO her and home where all my treasures
are.
When behold the daybreak of her eyes,
Then new white dawn within my soul shall
rise;
And peace and rest are mine,
True love and Joy divine,
To be with her till earthly daylight dies.
o, winds of home, turn back your wings Of
air
And help to swell the sails that homeward
bear!
And all across the sea
Your voice shall sing to me
or her whose gift of loving makes life fair.

Pennies in the South.

Pennies, 80 long despised in the sou h
and west are now demanded b. those
sections so eagerly that the Philadelphia
mint, the only one manufacture ng minor
coins, can not keep up with the demand.
Three million pennies were made at the
mint last month, but ii double that num-
Der had been produced, it is probable they
could at once have been placed in circu-
lation.
With the influx of tommon, vulgar, cop
PER pennies in the eXtrayagant west and
the arstocratic south there is drop In
& neral prices, particularly of small arti-
cles. This, while benefit ng the buyers,

ing consumption to a very decided ex-

Pennies are very good things particu-
larly II one has enough of them, and their
widespread introduction all over the

weather II the weather remains fine
they may be left out as long as it con-
tinues, but may be just as safely kept
in the cellar if properly put there.
We would place them there by the
time the first freezing weather comes.

them on separate bottom boards, at
such distance apart as to keep them
separated. II is true it requires much
labor to keep them perfectly separated,
