The birds sing oftener on lowly
roofs than palace domes, and roses
loye best to climb Ger lowly win
dow stills and cottage caves, SO to
the poor Gods blessings come,
-freighted with dearest wealth, and
to humble heart His love is sweet

bowed to earth with deep aflic-
lions are nearest heaven; as the
rose never gives forth all its sweet
ness until it is crushed, SO human
hearts need the good Fathers hand
to press the blossoms of purity,
and love and faith, that He may
not have impaired to them
their heavenly fragrance in vain.

best and most capable hardware

On Friday evening, October 18th,
lin our little town of Annapolis,
several friends-about eighteen in
number-gathered at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Benson, to cell
citrate the homecoming of their
son, John, who has spent the last
few months in st. Louis. Old-fash-
toned games were INDUCED in and
everybody kept looking wistfully
toward the dining room. After we
tired of being children again fol-
awhile, lemonade, ice cream and
cake were served. Although the
weather was bad, all was light and
laughter inside. About 1880 all
departed for home feeling that
truly our host and hostess had
mastered the art of entertaining.
