A little window and broad expanse
OF sky and sea,
3 little window where the stars look in
And waves beat ceaselessly,
Where through the night across the silvery
The moonlight falls, like blessed thoughts of
home. E
little spacs within a crowded ship,
A restless heart;
A little time to pause awhile and think
Der lives apart
To pause and think while others pray and
sleep,
A little while to bow the head and weep
A little window, but heaven of rest
Bent over all,
Where through the silence of the starlit dusk
The angels call,
Where the dead faces of the vanished years
Look in and smile across a sea of tears.
A quiet room, quiet heart at peace
With earth and sea,
A little corner, but glimpse of heaven,
An angels company.

Still on my lips I feel thy last "Good nightl"

Amerlea Throueh English Eyes.

They like giving big names to things In
America. A pond is a lake, and hill is
mountain. They never speak of the sea; it
must be called the ocean; a meeting is u
convention, dictionary is 'SpeIler and
a defner," town is a city, chairman is
"a president, and SO on. The only excep-
ton [ know Of is that the wealthy people
who own those charming country resi-
dences at Tuxedo and Lenox call them
cottages But these are not average Amer
leans, and in that country the manners
and customs, as seen by the ordinary trav-
eler, are governed by the average man,
