A popular paradoxical institu tion, in which woman works in the absence of man and man rests in ihe presence of woman. A hive in which, like the indus trious bee, youth garners the sweets and memories ol life for age to meditate and feed upon. An arbor which shades when the sunshine ol prosperity becomes too dazzling; a harbor where the human bark finds shelter in lime of storm. Home is a person's estate ob tained without injustice, kept with out disquietude; a place where time is spent without repentance, and which is ruled by justice, mercy and love. BVHN I3XCHAMIE.

When evening comes over the gray shadows fall, Softly my little one sings; Cuddles and coos to a linle rag doll, And babbles of wonderful things. Voice like a linnet, and eyes like a dove, Little one rocks in her chair, And tenderly sings, while her motherly love Warms to her little one there. I want to get down by the side of her, too, And rock-a by back through the years, Voyaging the Slumberland River ol blue, Untroubled by doublings or fears. To drift to a nest in the crook of an arm, And lie in a cuddle of dreams; Ah, little one, sing me the wonderful charms I'p, up from the Lullaby streams. And sing while the heart of you bursts in a song, Cuddle your little one so, l-'or yours is a Heeling tune, age is so long, And you, little singer, will grow. Age will lay hand on your curly, brown hair, Make you a grown. up too soon; Hustle you out of your little red chair Sing, sing, while your heart is in tune ! Softly gray shadows come creeping down, Little one journey away Mother and dolly to Slumberland Town. Drowsy-eyed dreamers astray, Leaving me here where a mist of her song Falls on my heart like a deu, And heaven, I thank you, though age is so long, May the dreams that come true.
