J. +. ROYS.
Thoughts of Home.

j. e. ROYS.

stood at my parlor window
And gazed on the city fair
With its hundreds of happy faces
And its thousands filled with care
OF the hurry and worry and hustle
From early dawn till even
And then thought where is there rest,
And my spirit whispered " Heaven"
And then my thoughts went wandering back,
To peaceful village home
Where the sun shone bright from morn till
night
On an old house all alone
With its vine-clad porch, where the children
played
In their childish innocent glee.
And oh how longed for those days again
When all were happy and free.
Free to enjoy life's purest joys,
The pleasures Of home and friends,
But the Father above said it is not we'll
That this Joy should longer last,
So, Angel of death, speed down to earth
And from that happy home,
Bring back the dearest of all that flock
And whisper to those bereft
That the joys of this world are heetng
And unto earth's mortas given
To show them a glimpse of the lasting joys
In the beauty and glory of heaven.
BY MRS. A. w. HANNoN.
