"A home. that paradise below
OF sunshine and OF flowers,
Where hallowed joys perennial now
BY calm, sequestered bowers"
Mrs. Opie says:
/ Hence far from me, ye senseless Joys.
/ That fade before ye reach the heart;
! The crowded dome's distracted noise,
] Where all IS pomp and useless art!
Give me my home. 20 quiet dear.
Where hours untold and peaceful move;
So fate ordain sometimes there
! May hear the voice Of him love"
/ Home is an lnexhaustible theme and
sounds TO the ear like the word mother;
( and when We say home II throngs the
memory with the klndnesses OF mother.

Is there any blessing Of heaven which is
more beautiful more worthy OF our
!, warmest gratitude than the possession OF
a home where goodness, kindness. and
JOY are daily inmates; where the heart
and eye may sun themselves in a world
OF love; where the mind is clear and ele-
waited. where friends. not merely by
words, but by actions, say 20 each other.
Thy gladness. thy sorrow. thy hope thy
prayer are also eT-Bremer.

The sweetest type OF heaven IS home;
nay, heaven is the home for whose ac-
quisition we are TO strive most strongly.
| Home in one form or other IS the great
object OF life. It stands at the end of
every days labor and beckons US to its
bosom, and life would be cheerless and
meaningless did we not discern acrosv
the river that divides us from the life be-
yond the mansion prepared for us-Hol-
