THE OLD HOME.

SO for as John Arm1eld late S
reply is concerned do not con-
slider it worth noticing for the
simple reason he substantiates
the charges ! made,
TO all whom it may concern
let me say, | believe we have
just as good men and women who
use tobacco as John Tate or any
body else. So here | leave Tate
with his Phariseeical ideas and
notions.
| want to talk about the old
home. How many sacred memo
ries cluster around it? Let your
thoughts go back to your child
hood days, and the family that
once gathered around the old
hearth-stone with its many dear
associations, of the scenes of JOY
and sorrow, of the roses that
bloomed in the yard, and how we
listened to the old, old story of
love--ever new and enchanting.
There vows were made and
pledges taken, and all hearts
were as one. No greater happi-
ness could be found.
Oh, how memory goes back to
linger over those joyous scenes.
The dear old mother with her
placid lovely face. How proud
that mother was of her offspring.
She did not consider them a
nuisance. No, no, she was so
proud to be called mother. But
now the light of the old home is
gone, the garlands dead, the fire
side deserted. The kitchen comes
back before me with its big wood
fire, the old ad-irons and tongues
and mother sitting in the corner
knitting while sister is spinning
wool rolls in the front and | am
cracking walnuts in the other
corner. The blessed old kitchen !;
how happy the place. Our hearts
return and linger around the
scene.
How many people revert to
these long ago scenes of the old
home? Again see father and
mother, brother and sister and
the youngest and last that came
to bless the old home. Oh, how
sad that time won't stand still,
but keeps swiftly rushing for
ward, carrying us with it before
we have time to realize the gran
deur and nobility of the old
home. Still we did enjoy peace
and happiness in the old home,
but shadow must follow sunshine.
The angel of death hovers near
the dear father and loving mother
are doomed, their dear faces we
see no more. | catch the faint
whisper of "Bless the Lord, oh.
my soul, y and then their precious
souls take their flight, and all is
over. The old home ceases to be
and the children leave it an(
scatter, never again to meet ia
ther and mother on earth; bu
with the liveliest of hope we eX
pect to meet them in the realm
of pure delight.
Happy thought, how sweet il
the gift of memory. How beau
tiful are the forms and faces o
the old home-they are so dea
to our hearts. Your Uncle Ton
can never forget the old home.
Uncle Tom,

Go, Home Circle, go forth
And give thy cheer.
Go where upon the hearth
The fire burns clear;
Go where the evening lamp <
A rosy glow
Sheds while the storm without
Its wild blasts blow.
Go under the greenwood shade i;
Find open doors.
Where babies like sunbeams
Play about the floors,
And say the hand that wrought
Would only bless
And lend the simple art
OF happiness.
Go then, the world is wide,
And give thy cheer;
Perhaps some tender heart
Will hold thee dear;
Perhaps some pleasant hand
To this column turns,
Perhaps some gentle soul
Thy message learns.
There is beauty in the young
dawn of love, when in life's
morning, two that were just now
children are walking with inter
twined embrace; there is a deep
er beauty in the hallowed evil
dences of affection which light
up the home of welded life,
where the man and the woman
of ripper years have seen days of
JOY and grief: but there is a
golden sunset beauty, almost
like the pure light of heaven
that fingers around the path of
an aged pair, clinging fondly to
one another when the journey of
life is almost over.
Love your parents and love
them ardently; but mingle a
sense of their superiority with
your love. Feel q confidence in
their kindness; but let not this
confidence make you rude and
presumptuous and lead to indie
cent familiarity. Talk to them
with openness and freedom, but
never contradict with violence
never answer with passion OF
contempt. The Scriptures say,
"Cursed be he that sittith light
by his father or his mother. y
''The eye that mocketh at his
father, the ravens of the valley
shall pluck it out and the young
ravens shall eat it, The sacred
history teaches us that when
Solomon on his throne saw his
mother approaching him he rose
to meet her and bowed himself
unto her and caused seat to be
set for her at his right hand
Let this wise and great king
teach you to respect your par
ents.
Love keeps itself fresh and
active by constant expression in
word and act. But, strange tC
say, the courtship usually ends
with marriage. Very soon botl
parties yield to the sense Of
possession, and the feeling OF
security robs gallantry of motive
and extracts the poetry from the
mind. The beautiful attention.
which were so pleasing before
marriage are too often forgotten

At this season of the year in
nearly every garden hangs q

pass without a notice or a

or instrument more eloquent or

speaks to us of decay, decay of
manly vigor and beauty, the ter
mination of pil schemes of pleas
ure, of business, of ambition.
All are interrupted by the
scythe's relentless sweep. Its
motions are as perpetual as the
revolving hours; its presence is
as universal as life itself; yet its
lessons are not all sad, nor dc
they in any way announce a final
decay. Over the undulatine

Sparrows Pay Their Rent.

Frank Brooking, of Macomb
H., objected to a family of Eng
fish sparrows in building a nest
in the cornice of his home.
He accordingly procured a long
ladder, and while tearing out the
mass of accumulated hay, straw
and other concomitants, discover
ed a two-dollar bill among the
materials.

Flying Datchman in South Seas.

A strange story of the sea of
n deserted vessel sailing about
with not soul aboard comes
from Sydney.
The British bark Dumfriesshire
while bound from Dunedin, New
Zealand, to Nohoue, on the west
coast of New Caledonia, to load
a cargo of nickel ore struck
reef the early part of July.
The vessel was under full sail
at the time she hit one of the
submerged coral reefs Astounding
in that dangerous locality. Capt.
Taylor and his crew of eighteen
men considered the situation
such perilous one that it was
resolved to abandon the vessel
before she sank. Accordingly
the crew made their way ashore
to the island during the night,
taking such effects and clothing
as they could. When daybreak
came the vessel had disappeared.
"She has foundered and gone
|
to the bottom,n declared the
captain, and he and the crew
gave devout thanks for having
left the vessel in time to save
their lives. Subsequently a pass
ing steamer was hailed and re-
sponded to signals of distress.
The crowd of castaways was
taken aboard, and as all hands
| were positive in their declara-
tion that the Dumfriesshire had
gone to the bottom the master of
the steamer made no further
search for the wrecked craft, but
proceeded on his course. The
true fate of the missing vessel
subsequently was learned.
During the night shat the cap
tain and crew abandoned the
supposed sinking craft the vessel
gradually worked her way off the
reef. She had not been damag-
ed to any serious extent by strik-
ing the reef, so when the rising
tide came up and the wind shift
ed the vessel slipped off the reel
easily, as if a band of tugs had
drawn her.
The vessel then started ON &
voyage on her own hook. She
sailed fifty miles around the
island and finally came to safe
anchorage at a place called Peum
A white settler noticed q strange
and unexpected vessel bearing
down upon his little island. The
craft seemed to navigate in al
odd way; certainly whoever was
handling her did so in way that
the settler had never seen be.

When the vessel all but went
aground he decided that some
crazy sort of an individual was
running the craft. The settler
went out to the vessel, and to his
establishment saw that the craft
was completely deserted. lie
