VISIONS OF THE OLD HOME.
AviroGua Boy Dreams of the Old Scenes and Friends
of Yore.

1t was hospital and he lay in one Of
those white iron, brass trimmed beds
| gazing out of the window at a brick
wall. Time was when comparative quiet
relgned in the Immediate surroundings
OF this pain-creating, pain-destroying
| institution. But the city-the hungry,
ever-reaching city-had crept slowly,
surely toward it. tearing down homes
| and building up business until now. with
the railroad and its screaming engines
oa tbr one side and the roaring surging
| city claiming attention on the other, it
was not AN ideal spot fer the sick.
Inc patient turned an uneasy, weary
head on his pillow, and with closed eyes
Ter his thought. fly TO the dear old home
OF Vlroqua. IL was Just evening time
| and he could see the sun sink in its
splendor glorifying the old Camphellite
church, Greave's rock and hills and trees
at the horizon beyond, which he rem nm
bered even since his babyhood In faI cy
he walked over to Ladies rock How
old 1t was, no one could tell. He loved
every rugged boulder, every bird and
squirrel among its trees He looked
across the green meadows TO the old
home, so vacant now, where there used
to dwell real friends. who loved books
and music and each other-and him.
Sudd anly the scene changed. 1t was the
old stone school house The teacher,
Mrs. Wyman, at her old place Lutte
TIowbridge is bringing & vase of the
lrst wild flowers of spring for the desk
Stella Gorsline has just entered bring
ing gladness to the whole school with
laughing eyes and sunny disposition.
And now the door on the right opens
and there staods-M Mitch Snodgrass-
why he thought--but no, there he is in
the flesh, big and strong, SO the news
was all a mistake.
But something startles the patient
The tears are nearly in his eyes now.
He turns restlessly to glance out of the
window -at that monoto 1ous brick wall.
Suddenly there comes one of those rare
moments in city when things stand
still and murmuring hush TT mhles in
the air, and clear and sweet there fioated
into his homesick heart the melody of
that grand hymn Nearer, My God, to
Thee And as the worshipers filed from
that church there came the strains of
Ginning bells like heavenly music from
q choir invisible. Aud they were ring
In Praise God from Whom all bless
ings flow" The great peace that food
ed his soul was beyond telling Surely
he had many blessings for which to praise
God. The cool, fragrant roses carna-
tions and hyacinths on his stand the
diapers, books. magazines and letters
daily received all testified to the faith
full, tender love of many friends. He
was not alone he was not forgotten,
and softly, sweetly he sank into a rest
full sleep under the blessing of the old
church bells. ECU.
