Ode to the Gobble-.

Come forth come forth, Oh, much beloved
Come forth upon the platter hot and
While our glad souls to melodies I'M
Roll on the ocean Of a grand delight.
Oh. gid our visions till they're rosy
And fairy-lands about the table thrown.
While we attack thee with our mann
and might
Until with rapture heaven-sent We groan
And cannot keep awake to snap thy dear
wishbone.
Although no lively nightingale or lark
In songs sweet sphere, merry bird
Thy stuffing and thy meat, both light
Wake "a responsive sunshine in the
When on the tree to which thou dost
depart
At tranquil eve, whose purple shado"S
scft as sleeps kiss about thee, do we

While thou art undisturbed, rolled in

But now, alas' we see thee AT ny oeso

Thou still must linger, all our cares 10
And be the gobbled gobbler. balmy rare;
Dear to the heart of emperor ana

Whoe'er pronounce thee with gracious
The bird of freedom on Thanksgiving

Thou to Thanksgiving day must ever be
What Santa Claus is TO the Christ

Thou art a thousand gifts in one All. me!
When gayly steaming in thy roasted
pride
IT'S then with knife and fork we for thee
glide
Swift as the morning wind, or as a

And in ferocious silence deified
We eat and eat and bless our happy lot.
Until we have no room for the plum pud-

A Perfect Home.

The character Of any home Is a correct
indication as TO the relation of individual
members TO the Heavenly Father. and
home approaches perfection just in the
degree that the individual members are
near to God. The character of a home,
also. is a prophecy of the type Of man
hood that can be developed there. Perfect
manhood can only he expected 10 come
from perfect home. for the stream is
not likely to rise higher than the foun-
tain.
A perfect home is the best possible
earthly type Of Heaven. The ideal home
includes within 1t all the hottest relations
that can possibly exist among men.
There is the relation between the hus-
band and the wife between the parents
and the children. between sisters and
brothers, where each one supplements
something that Is lacking in all the 9th
ers. and is i'm turn, supplied by all the
others with what is lacking in self. There
may, however. be perfect homes that
lack some Of these relationships and no
one need feel that a home is essentially
defective because any one OF these elc-
ments might be wanting

Yet |. l only, never heard
That pain had nestled with my bird.
Perhaps some tender thought OF me
Withheld your message for space;
Or, with wide-eyed sincerity
You looked Death, smiling, in the race
And found less sadness in his look
Than In a human story-book.

Had proved the awful riddle true
And scared from us on alien wings
Then had life's myrrh and frankincense
But Knocked our sorrows impotence.

Dear clinging hands and fragrant hair,

Rebuke and AtuSe.

TIE first step in learning the noble arr
of rebuke is to distinguish II from the
ignoble art of abuse. Wide apart as ine

love, abuse by hate. one requires, meek
ness tha other arrogance; one is the Ian
guaGe OF courage, the other of insolence.
A rebuke is designed TO restore, ana re-
onires constructive ability; abuse is nj
hilistic, and requires such ability as a
child possesses who is old enough to
tear down a clock house. Rebuke calls
for character. abuse is the ugly temper
of a homeless piety. He alone can re-
buke sinners whose life Is standing
