SOME DAY.

Some day-so many fearful eyes
Are watching for thy davning hxhtl
So many faces toward the skies
Are weary Of the night
So many falling prayers that reel
And stasger upward through the storm.
And yearning hands that reach and feel
No pressure true and warml
so many hearts whose crimson wine
Is wasted TO purple stain;
And blurred and streaked with drorss of hrips
Upon the lips of painl
On, come to then-those weary ones,
VI, IL thou stll must bide awhile,
Make stronger yet the hope that runs
Before thy coming smile.
Ana haste and find them where they wait,
Let summer winds blow down that way,
And ali they long for, soon or late,
Bring round TO then-some day.

Fall in, fall in, o, boys in blue" The thrilling

Shoulder to shoulder as you stood in days SO

Not thus you looked in rank and file when

Ye were the yictors in that strife that filed the

Your names in characters of gold on history's

THE HOUSEHOLD.
ACountrr sIttInr-Room.


There is nothing prettier in a country
sitting-room than a few pieces OF rattan
furniture, either in natural color with
cushions of India silk, or enamelled in
white and gold and fitted up with striped
tapestry, cretonne, or any artistic ma;
terial the owner fancies. There are two
kinds of furniture classified under the
head of rattan-the genuine rattan and
The reed or wicker. The wicker chair ID
less expensive than the rattan, but it iS
not to be despised for this reason. 1t
certainly possesses one advantage over!
rattan-it cannot be twisted into such
preposterously ugly shapes as rattan
has been by some manufacturers. The
nature of the material prevents il being
woven with bacas in the shape Of Jap
anese fans and various other styles
which are paredies of Oriental art.
The Chinese chairs that come to this
country are combinations of rattan and
| wicker-worS. 1t is difficult to get these
chairs here in as fine quality as they,
are made. The American rattan work
is finer than anything that comes from
| China, but the shapes are far inferior
to the Chinese or English work. The
English make a delightful student chair
| in wicker work, with a basket at the
side for papers. 1t has high, square
back, broad, roomy seat, and is made
more comfortable by the addition of soft
tufted cushions, which can be removed
when necessary to be beaten. 1t is
altogether an example of the excellent
| effect of using material in manner
adapted to its nature.-New York Trf-
