THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Many of us who are advanced be-
yond the period of childhood went
out from home to embark on the
stormy sea of life. OF the feelings
of a father and of his interest in
our welfare, we had no doubts;
and our home was dear because he
was there; dear because it was the
home of our dear mother-Where
they lived there was a place that
we felt was home; a place where
we were always welcome; a place
where we We're sure of friend.
The world might be Indifferent to
us; we might be unsuccessful in
our studies or our business; the
new friends which we supposed we
had made. might prove false; the
honor which we thought we de-
served might be withheld from us
we might be mortified by seeing a
rival outstrip us and bear away
the prize which we sought-but
there was a place where no feeling
of rivalry was found, and where
those whom the world overlooked
would be sure of a friendly greet
ing. Whether pale and worn by
study, care or sickness, or flushed
with health and fiattering success,
we were sure that we would be
welcome there. Though the world
was cold towards us, yet there We're
two who always reioiced in our
success and were effected in our re-
verses; there was a place where we
might return and find rest and en-
couragement and inyigoration for
a new conflict. So have I seen a
bird in it's first efforts to fly leave
it's nest and stretch its wings and
go forth into the world, but the
wind began to blow, the rain began
to fall, and the darkness of night
began to close on the little wan
derer, who was out in the weather
without a shelter, and it sought its
way back to take shelter beneath
it's mothers wing, to be refreshed
for the struggles of a new day;
then it flew away to think of it's
nest and its mother no more. But
not thus did we leave our home.
When we babe adieu to it to go
forth alone to the manly duties of
life, even amidst the storm that
then beat upon us, and the disap-
pointments that we met with, and
the cOldness of the world, we felt
still that there were two who SYM
pathized in our troubles as well as
rejoiced in our success, and when
we entered the door of the old
dwelling we should be met with a
smile; we expected mother as she
looked out Of her window waiting
for the coming of her son; and that
our return would renew her Joy.
It makes a sad desolation when a |
father is taken Way-he is. to greet
the returning son or daughter no
more. The home of our childhood
may be still lovely, the old family
the green fields, the run
ming stream, the lawn, the rose
bush, may all be there, but our
venerable father is gone to be there
no more; his familiar voice is
heard no more-he has been borne
forth to eternal rest. We may
have another home dear TO us, but
it is not the home of childhood
one of the cords that bound us to
earth has been broken. There is
no place here that is to be our per-
manent home.

One Woman.

Her eyes were not "cerulean blue
Her "silken tresses' no not fall
In ripping waves OF amber hue"
She has no special gift" at all
This gentle woman. sweet and GOOD.
Who sprang not from royal race,
Yet wears her crown OF womanhood
With more than queenly grace.
She does not seem to float on air.
Like thistledown, amidst the dancer;
Nor would her modest spirit care
To hold men spellbound with glance.
But she is gracious to the poor;
The sick and sorrowful aver
That when she enters at their door
The sunshine follows her.
She has not scared to Learning's heights.
Or sounded Wisdom'S depths profound,
She only claims her womans rights
Where tasks for tender hands abound,
Yet. though she shrinks from themes
abstruse.
Nor studies ethics" overmuch.
The common things in daily use
Grow fairer at her touch.
Enioying most where most she loves
She has no great desire TO roam,
But by her pure example proves
How love may sanctiiy the nome
And thus she rules with kindly hand
The realm she understands the best,
While all her happy household band
Arise and call her bleSt:

whole that State is the best ruled where

easily be shown less than the evils of
