RETURNING HOME.

Sometimes it is best not to try and
realize ones dreams. 1t is wholesome,
maybe, for man to return after many
years to a community which he left for
his battle with the great world, but he
is apt to have had knocks enough in
the arena where men give and take,
without exposing himself, when he
leaves the firing line, to "wOunds in
the house of his friends" Certain cher
ished illusions ip the mind of the man
who goes back are bound to die like
golden BUTTERFLIES bitten of the frost
they were things of the bright day and
the warm sun, and cold kills them.
Every man, however old, has kept
place in his heart where abide his recol.
lections of his native town, and the
place is young and fresh as a glade
over which the softApril sun has passed.
He runs II sad risk OF having the youth
of him chilled and wthered when he
takes the pilgrims staff and scrip and
starts on his sentimental journey home
ward, 1t is saddening and dishcarten-
ing to go back: it is satisfying, maybe,
just maybe, nevertheless.
As wandered round the homestead,
Many n dear familiar spot
brought within my recollection
Scenes I'd seemingly forgot,
There the ortlnr,l--mratlow yOndrr--
Here the deep old fashioned we'll
With its old moss.coycred bucket.

Though the house was held by strangers
All remained the same within:
just as when child | ramblrd
Up and down and out and In.
AFTER all that has been said about
rare treasures of art and nature that
may lend attraction TO L home and its
surroundings, IL remains that the fairest
home ornaments are bright joyous faces
and where these are wanting, all else
goes for little. Brightand joyous faces
always accompany warm and loving
hearts which all true bomemakers must
possess. Hence all who intend making
homes should look carefully into their
own hearts: for only when these are
right can they expect their homemak.
ing TO prove satisfactory. Warm hearts
make bright and cheerful hearts, but
the warmest heart cannot thaw the icy
heart. Love is the great homemaker,
that makes even the drudgery of house
keeping u pleasure, and home life Il
foretaste OF the bliss OF heaven. One
cannot get too much love into ones
homemaking, but easily too little.
