MISS BIM WHIN HI IS OONI. We happened at a bone tbe other oigbt, and over the parlor door saw the legend worked in letters of gold, "What la Home Without a Mother?" Aoros the room was another brief, "God Bless Our Home." Those mottoes will be found in man; hnmcj, worked by nimble Angers and expressive of love and devo tion felt by the members of the house hold fir the holiest and happiest if earth' hleenings, "Mother" and "Home" Home home sweet home' be it ever so humble there's do plaoe like home," But there is another faoior in the Messe dness of home that is too oft n forgotten, or, at least, perhaps sometimes nil fully appreciated, aod that factor is "Dad " AndlheSta'a Register to day, in a few words from an eichcnge wonts to preach a little sermon io Dad's be haf. It is do discouragement to "Mother" to say that alongside of the legend referred to above this other would be appropriate. "God Bless Our Dad!" An eicbange says: Dad gets up early, lights the fire, boils an egg, grabs his dinner pail and wipes off the dew of the dawn while many a mother is sleeping. De makes th weekly hand out to tbe butcher, tbe grocer, the milk man and the baker, and bis little pile is badly worn beore be hsa been bone an hour. He stands off tbe bailiff aod keeps the rent paid up. "If there is noise during the night Dad is nudged in the back and made to go down stairs and find the burglar and kill bim. Mother darn the socks, but Dad buys them in the first place, and the needle and tbe yarn alterward. Mother doe up the fruit well, but Dad buys it all, and jars and sugar coat like the mischief. "Dad buys ohickena fur the Sunday dinner, oarvca them himself and draw tbe neck from the ruin after every nne else ia erv ed. "Whatie home without Mother?" Yes, that is all right. But "What Is borne Without a Father?' Ten chances to one it is a a boarding bouse, father is under a slab and tbe landlord is a widow. "Dad, here to you. Yon have got your faults you may have lots of them but we will mis you when you ire gone." Yes, dear old unappreciated Dadl The legend which ought to grace the walls of the cottage or the palace in jour honor may not appear. You may tread the pathway of life, bearing it burdens ungrudgingly and cbeerlully, and go down to the grave nnhonored and unsung in framed legends, but you will be missed and mourned nevertheless in iho eold gray days when you can no longer answer the call for your services, and will receive your rewaidon me otnet shore.

That it the reason why the pro- pnetors oi ur. Fierce 't Favorite prescrip tion are willing to offer $500 reward for women who can not be cured. Such a remarkable offer is founded on the long record of cures of the diseases and ivi weaknesses pecu r ammi-Man" liltr t0 women.

When weare gone then other feet will tread Upon the paths that we hate Iread before, While other eyes will see and other hands will toil, Among the scenes where we shall t il no more, When we are gone. When we are gone then other oyes will see, The charms that life and nature has in store, And other hearts will beat in cheerful glee To see the light upon the distant shore Wben we are gone. When we are gone then other tongues will praise, And sing the songs we sang in days of yore, And other faces smile in joyful lays, And other souls will live aod love, as those before, Wben we are gone. When we are gone, lbs birds will sing as gay And blossoms bright will deok the orchsrd trees, While through the grove where nature's children play, Sweet odors float upon the summer brcne When we are gone. When we are gone, then other hearts will ao'ne In sorrow' grasp and bitter tears will flow, Affection' lie aod friendly bonds will break, As they hate doae in years long long ago When we are gone. When we are gone, the sun will shine ss bright, The pale moon make her journeys o'er and o'er, The stars still twinkle from the vaults of night, And breakers dash upon tbe rooky shore W hen we are gone. When we are gone then mother earth will claim Our mortal frames snd fold them to her breast ; Tbe deeds of which we bosst will fade away, in numo, But free from toils and cares then we shall rest When we are gone A HOME HCTURE. BY LOUISE E. BAKER. Oh I the happy little homo when the sun shone out, Aod the busy little mother got the oliildren all about ; And Johnny fetohed the water and Tommy brought ihe wond, Aod Billie-boy lied both his shoes, ss every laddie should Aod Dannie rooked the cradle with a clatter and a song, To make the little sister grow so pretty and so strong. Ob I the sweet peas and the morning-glories climbing 'round the door, And the tender vine of shadow with its length across the fl ior, Oh I the "pini, s" andlhe roses, and ihe quiver of tho gtaas, And the cheery call ol friendship from ihe neighbors as they pass I Oh I the scuffle aod the ahouiiog, acd the little motucr's laugh As a rabbit starts up somewhere, snd her "great helps" scamper off. Oh I tbe happy little home when the twilight fell, And all along the meadow rang the old cow bell W itb a tinkle that is musio through the ruthiog of the years And I see the little mother in the tremble ot tho tears, And I hear her happy laughter as she cries: "The boys have come I" And we know she's getting supper in (he happy little home. Oh I the happy little home when the moon gleamed forth, And Billie-boy would have it that it "rised in the north." Oh I the rsptures snd the whispers nesr Ihe little anther's chair, As th white -robed little Enures are flitting here and llit ie, And we're just as near to heaven as wo mortals ever roam, Wben we kneel and say our prayers io ihe happy little heme.
