AT DUSK.

When come home to you the way
seems long,
Though WEAKNESS and care,which
all the day
Have lowered near, are routed by
the song
OF my glad heart and, vanquish-
ed, fade away;
While fancy paints the twilights
somber hue
With visions, dear, of coming
home to you.
When come home to you, and love
and rest,
/ smile to think, today I envied
: Who only are by wealth and power
blest;
How poor they seem, haste my
steps again.
Their treasures, after all, are small
and few,
Because, at dusk. they go not
home to you.
When I come home to you and find
you there,
The wonder child clasped tight
within your arms,
The days last gleamings haloing
your hair
And shadowing your tender eyes
deep charms;
The same joy thrills me as when
first | knew
The story. dear, of coming home
to you.

WEDDING RING LORE.
interesting Facts About This Golden
CircIet of Sentiment.

Circlet of Sentiment.
In the Isle Of Man the wedding ring
was formerly used as an instrument of
torture. Cyril Davenport in his book
On "Jewelry" remarks that there once
existed a custom in that island accord
ing to which an unmarried girl whc
had been offended by a man could
bring him to trial, and if he were found
guilty she would be presented with
sword, rope and ring.
With the sword she might cut off his
head. with the rope she might hang
him or with the ring she might marry
him. 1t is said that the latter punish
ment was invariably inflicted.
The wedding ring was anathema to
the early Puritans. who regarded per-
sonal adornment as one of the many
snareS of Satan. In the old English
marriage service it was the custom for
the bridegroom to put the ring on the
thumb of the bride. saying. in the
name of the Father then on the next

Of the Holy Ghost" finally on the third

The ring was left there. because. as
the Sarum rubric says. "A vein pro-
ceedS thence to the heart" In the
modern marriage service the ring is
placed at once upon the third finger.

its real worth. AT 10 the boy was spec

1t too often happens that We over
value the things we haven't got and
undervalue the things we have. Hence,
pessimism and most other ills.
The knack of seeing things in right
perspective, at their true value, and
going after them for what they are
worth and getting them at the right
price, and of never paying heavily for
things that are worthless, is about the
best knack one can have.
