UNAWARES.
BY MRS E. A. LENT.

They said "The Master is coming
To honor the town to-day.
And none can tell at what house or home
The Master will choose to stay"
And l thought, while my heart beat wildly
What If He should come to mine,
How would strive to entertain
And honor the Guest divine!
And straight turned to toiing
To make my home more neat;
l swept and polished and garnished,
And decked it with blossoms sweet.
l was troubled for fear the Master
Might come ere my task was done,
And hastea and worked the faster,
And watched the hurrying sun.
But right in the midst of my duties.
A woman came to my door,
She had come to tell me her SORROWS
And my comfort and aid to implore.
And said: 81 cannot listen,
Nor help y)u any to-day;
l have greater things to attend to-"
And the pleader turned away.
But soon there came another,
cripple thin. pale and gray,
And said: 30, let me stop and rest
Awhile in your home, pray
l have travelled far since morning,
am hungry and faint and weak,
My heart Is full of misery,
And comfort and help seek"
And said; al am grieved and sorry,
But cannot keep you to-day;
look for great and noble Guest"
And the cripple went away.
And the day wore onward swiftly,
And my task was nearly done,
And prayer was eyer in my heart
That the Master to me might come.
And thought would spring to meet Him
AND serve Him with utmost care,
When little Child stood by me,
With Il face so sweet and fair,
Sweet, but with marks of tear-drops,
And his clothes were tattered and old;
A finger was bruised and bleeding,
And his little bare feet were cold
And said: al am sorry for you;
9ou are sorely in need of care,
But cannot stop to give it,
You must hasten otherwhere,''
And at the words a shadow
Swept DER his blue-veined brow;
"some one will feed and clothe you, dear,
But am too busy now"
At last the day was ended,
And my toll was over and done;
My house sxasss weet and garnished,
And watched in the dusk along.
Watched, but no football sounded,
No one paused at my gate,
No one entered my cottage door;
could only pray and wait"
l waited till night had deepened,
And the Master had not come;
"He has entered some other door," cried,
And gladdened some other home,
My labor has been for nothing"
And bowed my head and wept;
My heart was sore with longing,
Yes, spite it all, l slept
Then the Master stood before mo,
And his face was grave ana fair;
"Three times to-day came to your door
And craved your pity and care;
Three times You sent Me onward,
pnhelped and uncontrolled,
And the blessing you might have had was iosi
And your chance to serve has fed"
80, Lord, dear Lord, forgive me
How could know it was Thee?" =
My very soul was shamed and bowed
In the depths of humility.
And he said: "The sin is pardoned,
But the blessing is lost to thee;
For comforting not the least of Mine.

A New Story of an Old Song.

The fist time that the tender lyric,
"Home Sweet Home" was sung in
public was when an Indian, brooding
over the death OF his beloved squaw and
papoose, committed suicide on the spot
where they were buried.
1t was a time when the boundary lines
between Georgia and Tennessee we're in
dispute, and the half.breeds were con.
stantly making tronble. II order to
harmoniza contending factions, our
government established a trading post
there, John Howard Payne appeared OIL
the scene, and on suspicion Of melting
the Indians to characterization, was
arrested and carried to the council house.
With others ne witnessed the burial of
the heart-broken Indian, aud began softly
singing to himself the song which has
since echoed through every land on
earth. The sequel is told by the
Atlanta Constitution in these word ::
General Bishop, who had K >. o.oso
scrutiny on his actions, he ! the song
and called Payne to him.
"4 UuDg man. said the o.. n sid In

Payue.
"And where did you get :, . tune?"

Payne had been housed at the home f
family living near by, and on his return
there he exhibited his pass and related
the circumstances. That was the first
time that "Homs, Sweet Home" had ever
been sung in public Y0uth's COMPANION

A Good Reference.

/. John was fifteen, and very anxious to
get desirable place in the offioe of a
we'll known merchant who h ad advertised
for boy. But he was doubtful of his
success, because, being stranger 10 the
city, he had no references to present.
'I'm afraid shall stand poor chance" p"
he thought, despoudently. However,
I'll try and appear as we'll as l can, for
that may help me little"
So he was cal eful to have his dress and
person neat. and when he took his turn
to be interviewed, went in with his bat in
his hand and smile on his face.
The keen.eyed man tf business glanced
him over from head to foot.
| Good face," he thought, land pleas
ant ways"
Thsn he noted the neat suit--but other
boys had appeared in new clothes-saw
the ll-brushed hair and clean looking
skin. Very we'll but there had been
others here quite as cleanly. Another
glance, however, showed even the finger

"Ah, that looks like thorong hness,"
! thought the merchant.
| Then he asked few direct, rapid ques-
tiOns, which John answered as directly.
Prompt" was his mental comment.
"Can speak up when necessary. Let's
see your writing" he added aloud.
| ho II !;
"Very good, easy to read, and no -four
ishes. Now, what references have you ?"
The dreaded question at last
Johns face fell. He had begun to feel
some hope of success, but this dashed it
again.
Il haven't any" be said, slowly I'm
almost stranger in the CITY,"
Cant take boy without references"
was the brusque rejoinder; and, as be
spoke, sudden thought sent a flush to
Johns cheek
II haven't any references" he repeat
ed, with hesitation "but here's letter
from mother have just received. Would
you mind reading it. sir ?"
The merchant took it. 1t was a short
letter
My DEAR JOHN l want to remind you
that, wherever you find work, you must
consider that work your own. Don't go
into it, as some boys do, with the feeling
that you will do as little as you can, and
get something better soon but make up
your mind you will do as much as possi-
BILE, and make yourself so necessary to
your employer that he will never let
you go.
You have been a good son to me, and
can truly say have never known you to
shirk. Be as good in business, and l am
sure God will bless your efforts.
"A'm - said the merchant, reading it
over the second time. "That's pretty
good advice, John-excellent advice
rather think I'll try you, even without
the references"
John has been with him ten years, and
now occupies very responsible position.
"Is it fact that you intend taking that
young man into partnersbip?' asked
friend lately.
"Yes, it is. couldn't get along will
out John he is my right hand man ~
exclaimed the employer, heartily.
And John always says the best refer
