Very little excitement prevailed at the city and school election held last Tuesday.

HOME LAND.

There's calm and balmy whisper in
 the cool night air And a gentle sigh among the trees
 like natures pray'r; If you listen, rapt, enchanted, meath
 the star-fieck'd dome You will hear the invitation back to
 home, sweet home, If you've wandered, If you've wandered from the told There's a fine old family gathering
 where the home folks dwell And the peal of children's laughter,
 like a silv'ry bell Kind O grips your heart and holds
 you, bids you come again To the land of milk and honey down
 in Sunshine Glen If you wandered, If you've wandered from the fold Youth is fair and fortune tickle and
 the long, long lane Leads away from pleasant pastures to
 the dismal plain; But ere the journeys ended, where
 the hill goes down. You'll learn the fervid yearning for
 the old home town If you've wandered If you've wandered from the fold. Many million men have travelled
 where the far winds blow And many hearts are broken by the
 way they go; So at times there comes a pleading
 from the land Gods blest And you'll hear it in the twilight
 when the sun goes west, If you've wandered, If you've wandered from the fold,
