The Evening Trains.

The first train leaves at p. m.
For the land where the sleep flower blows
The mother dear is the engineer,
And the passenger laughs and crows.
The palace car is the mothers arms;
The whistle low, sweet strain
The passenger winks and mods and blinks
And goes TO sleep on the train.
AT p. m the next train starts
For the pleasant land afar;
The summons clear falls on the ear,
"All aboard for the sleeping carl"
But what is the fare to this pleasant landl
hope 1t is not too dear
The fare Is this-a loving kiss
And 1t is paid to the engineer.
So ask OF him who the children took
On his knee In kindness great,
'Take charge, pray, of the trains each day,
That leave at 9 and g.
keep watch DER the passengers" thus
pray,
''For they are very dear;
And have special ward, oh gracious Lord
Ger the gentle engineer"
