'Home, Sweet Home.
15Y A. O. V,
NORTH 1'HAKSALIA, N. Y.
'"Scarcely in our English language
Can be found a word more sweet,
Than the ne our children's lispings
Learn so early to repeat.
From th humble toiling peasant,
To the queen upon her throne;
Not a heart but beats responsive
To the magic spell of home.'"
What, sacred memories cluster
around the name of home ! What
magic power in concealed in that
word! How endeared to the soul
bj- a thousand holy and hallowed as
sociations that time , distance, nor
even death itself can nerer obhters
ate! It matters not though the
'home" be a rude hut , or a cottage
in some far away desolate land, or a
stately mansion of finest granite in
snm e fair Eden of earth, where thousand-,
of feet daily tread and thou
sand is of eyes admire and adore
whei'ser in Siberian wastes of enow,
or li e l)iirning sands of Africa, yet
in sill this wide , wide world be it
ever so humble there is noplace like
home.
"There is no sweeter spot than home
Fpon this bleak and barren earth:
There are no purer joys helow
Than sparkle round the peaceful
hearth.'"
Though three score years iav
have passed away; though the vast
Atlantic ,or Pacific may roll between,
though the scenes of yesterday may
be forgotten, yet to the venerable
aire with looks already whitened for
tf:e tomb, but breathe the name of
"home, sweet home ," and O ! the
dim veil of time riae, unfolding to
view the beautiful and fadless
scenes of childhood nnd jouth in all
their surpassing loveliness and glory.
How the dim eyes kparkle ! Then
the voice receives new strength, and
the step becomes more firm and e
'astic, while the sleggish current of
lite becomes accelerafed, bounding
with fresh strength and vigor through
every vein. The rocks and streams,
the meadow and wildwood, the play
mates of earlier years, the o'd fami
ly bible, the prayers and counsel and
love and tenderness and blestings
without number which were lavished
up-ni him m a childhood's home, the
innocent laugh and shouts of jov
a id solids of praise which rang out
full and free upon the breezes of
Heaven how the picture looviis up
fresh and joyful before the gaze of
the venerable old man, adding light
and lustre to his declining years.

home.
Where the ocean surges roar,
Where its billows dash on a rock-bound

And mourn forererinore ."
Home, sweet home ! Thou art the
birth-place of the soul's purest and
deepec affection emblem of th-
triory lann on nin ; rue rememnrauce
years. Home, thou art the first
scene of fond remembrance and the
last to be forgot. As the sunbeam
gives forth its cheering light and the
flowers its sweet odor, so thy sacred
influence is shed abroad o'er all the
earth.
Home is the grand center of af
iVelion, where hearts have been knit
together by strong bands that neith
er adversity, prosperity nor death
could separate ; wher6 the friends
we love th? best, chase all doubts
and gloom away and lighten our
pathway ,all life's pilgrimage journey
through ; where smiles of joy and
cheer encircle our brows, and bless

''Home is where the stars will shine

beauty and lovelines?. Tliy name is
engraved upon the tablet of the

The Rev. W. W. Murray said: "It
is a universal statement universally
disbelieved. I hav searched the
graves of twenty graveyards, no, t
marble t-lub or shaft, plainly wrought
or chiseled in costly design, bore
this immortal assertion. I have
prayed above a hundred coffin?, and
watched the faces f the mourners
anxiously; not one betraj'ed a knowl
edge of this sentence. I have car
ried a bright face to the funral
chamber, and spoken the words of
cheerful truth, and men have mar
veled, revealing their skepticism by
t heir surprise. 1 have found it hard
to pursuade men that death is sun
rise: but when I compare the condi
tions of this life with those of the
next ; when I set the body ensnal
over against t lie bdy spiritual, the
mind in bondage over against the
mind emancipated ; when I have
bowed myself over the white face,
beautiful as it lay in unruffled peac1
and remembered how painful was
was life; when I have stood beside
the dying, heard their murmured
words of wonder, their exclamations
of raptue, and seen a light, not of
this world, fall upon their faces as
they touched the margin of the
great change I have said : 'Death
thou art a gain.'

THE BRAKEMAN AT CHURCH-
Oo the road, once more with Leba
non fading away in the distance ,
the fat passenger drumming idly on
the window pane, the cross passen
ger sound asleep, and the tall, thin
passenger reading 'Gen. Grant's
Tour Arrund the World,' and won
dering why 'Green's August Flow
er' should be printed above the doors
of ' 'A LuddhUt T mple at He.iares."
To me comes the brakeraan, and
sealing himself on the arm of the
seat says:
'I'went to church yesterday."
' Yes?'' I sai 1 , with that inter
ested inflection that asks for more.
''And what church dik you attendf
' 'Which do you guess?'' he asked.
' 1 Some union mission church," I
hf.zarded.
"No.'' ho said, l'I dou't like to run
on thee branch roads very much.
I don't often go to church, and
when I uo I want to run on the
main line, where 7our ruu is regular
and you .goon schedule time and
don't have to wait on connections.
I don't like to run on a branch
Good enough , but I don't like it."
"Episcopal?" 1 guessed.
" Limited express," he eaid, "all
palace cars and $2 extra for a seat,
fa-t time and only stop at big sta.
tions. Nice line, but too exhan t
ive for a brakeman. All train meu
in uniform, conductor's punch and
lantern silver plated, and no train
boys allowed. Then the passengers
are allowed to talk back at the con
ductor and it makes them too free
and e&SS" No, I couldn't Stand the
lace cars Rich road though
pa
Don't often hear of a receiver being
appointed for that line. Some
mighty nice people travel on it,
too." "
"Ur.iversalist?"' I suggested.
"Rroad gauge," said the brake
man ; "does too much complimenta
ry business. Every bod y travels on
pas. Conductor doesn't get a
fare once in fifty miles. Stops at
flag stations, and won't run inte
an tiling but a union depot. No
smwking car on the train. Train
orders are rather vague though, and
the train men don't get along well
with the passengers. No, I . don't
go to the Uuiversalist, but I know
some good men who run on that
road."
'Presbyterian?'" I rsked.
' 'Narrow guage, eh?" said the
brakem, "pretty track, straight as a
rule; tunntl through a mountain
rather than go around it ; spirit lev
el grale ; passengers have to show
their tickets before they get on the
train. Mighty strict road but the
cars are a nitie narrow ; nave 10 sn

stop-over tickets allowed ; got to go

" Scrub road." S3id the Frskeman
" lirt roadbed and no ballast; no
time card s4l no train dispatcher.
All trains run wild and every engi
neer makes his own time just as he
pleases. Smoke if you want to;
kind of a-go-as-you-please roaL Too
many shle tracks and every switch
wide open all the time, with the
switchman sound asleep and the tar
get lamp dead out. Get on as you
please and get off where you want
to. Don't have la show your tickets
and the conductor isn't expected to
do anytliin but amuse the passen
gers. No, sir. I was otfertd a pass
but I didn't like the line. I don't
travel on a road that has no termi
nus. Do you know sir, I asked a
division superintendent where that
road ran to, and he said he hoped to
die if he knew. I asked him if the
general superintendent could tell
me, and he said he didn't believe
they had a general superintendent,
and if they had he didn't know any
thing more about the road than the
passengers. I asked him who he
reported to, and lie said 'nobody.'
I asked a conductor who he got his
orders from, and he said he didn't
take orders from any liviniz man or
dead ghost. And when I asked the
engineer who he got his orders from
he sain he'd like to see anybody
uivc him orders; he'd run the train
to suit himself or he'd run into a
ditch. Now you see sir, I'm a rail
road man , and I don't care to run
on a road that has no time, makes
no connections, runs nowhere and
has no general superintendent. It
may be all right, but Lye railroaded
too long to understand it."
'Maybe you went to the Congre
gational church?''
"Popular road," said the brake
man ; " an old road, too one of the
very oldest in the country. Good
road bed and comfortable cars.
Well-managed road , too; directors
don't interfere with division superin
tendents and train orders. Road's
mighty popular, but it's pretty inde
pendent, too. Yes , but didn't one
of the division superintendents
down east discontinue one of the
oldest stations on that line two or
three years ago? Rut it's a mighty
pleasant road to travel on. Always
nas such a pleasant class of passen-
IQTS.
"Did you try the Methodist?'' I
said.
"Now you are shouting !'' he said
with some enthusiasm. ''Nice road,
eh? Fast time and plenty of pas
sengers. Engines carry a power of
steam and don't you forget i'; steam
gauge shows a hundred and enough
all the time. Lively road ; when the
conductors shout 'all aboard,' you
can hear it at the next station. Ev -

on all through tickets ; passengers
can drop off the train as often as
they like, and stay at the station two

I guessed once more.

A few weeks ego I noticed that it

I detected a condition on its back ,
and so 1 hurried home in order to be '

soon as the conductor looked at it'
and felt its pulse he said that he
1 could do nothing for it. The I .t r-

ju't after the gate-keeper pushcl me

I then first realized what it wa to
