In our last dreadful war the Federals
and the Confederates were encamped on
opposite sides of the Rappahannock, and
one morning the brass band Of the north
ern troops played the national air, and all
the northern troops eheered and cheered
Then on the opposite side Of the Kappa
hammock the brass band Of the Confeder-
ates played ''My Maryland" and Dixie,
and then all the southern troops cheered
and cheered. But after awhile one of the
bands struck up "Home, Sweet Home, "
and the band on the opposite side of the
river took up the strain, and when the
tune was done the Confederates and Fed
erals all together united, as the tearsrolled
down their cheeks In one great huzza!
huxEal Well, my friends, heaven comes
very near today. It Is only stream that
| divides us-the narrow stream Of death
| and the voices there and the voices here
seem to eommingle, and we join trum-
pets and hosannahs and halleluiahs, and
the chorus Of the united song Of earth and
heaven Is Home, Sweet Home" Home
Of bright domestic circle on earthi Home
of forgiveness in the great heart Of Godi
Home of eternal rest In heaveni Homei

push you off. But who would do 80 das-
tardly q deedi Why, that is done every
hour of every day and every hour of every
night. Men come to the verge Of city life
and say: "Now we will just look off.
Come, young man, do not be afraid Come
near; let US look off," He comes to the
edge and looks and looks until after awhile
satan sneaks up behind him and puts q
hand on each Of his shoulders and pushes
