Song as n Domestic Appurtennnce and

II any one has his choice about where he

In earlier days an American child's chances
were better than now OF being born into
q REASONABLY large family: and though
in some families all the members
have music IN them. and in. others

The tender mercics OF the wicked are said
to be cruel, and perhaps they are. abso-
lutely speaking. But compared with the
tender mercies Of the betrothed maiden to
the wrong man, they certainly seem less
harsh.
