• THE OLD HOMESTEAD. 
Ah I liere it la, that dear old place. 
Unchanged through all these years; 
How like some sweet, familiar face 
My childhood's home appears t 
The grand old tree* beside the door 
Still spread their branches wide, 
The river wanders as ot yore. 
With sweetly murmuring tide; 
The distant hills look green and gray. 
The flower* are blooming wild, 
And everything look* glad to-day. 
As when I was a child. 
Regardless how the years have flown. 
Half wondering I stand, 
I outch no fond, endearing tone, 
1 clasp no friendly hand ; 
1 think my mother's smile to meet, 
I list my father’s call, 
1 pause to heur my brother's feet 
Come hounding through the hall; 
But silence ull around roe reigns, 
A chill creep* through my heart— 
No truce of those 1 love remains. 
And tears unhidden start. 
What though the sunbeams fall as fair. 
What though the budding flowers 
Still shed their fragrance on the air. 
Within life’s golden hours 1 
The loving ones that clustered here 
These walls may not restore; 
Voices that filled my youthful ear 
Will greet my soul no more. 
And yet I quit the dear old place 
With slow and lingering tread. 
As when we kiss a clay-cold face, 
And leave it with the dead.

THE LESSON: 
A STORY FOR HUSBANDS AND WIVES. 
“ Are you going out again, dear ?” said 
pretty Mrs. Hart to her husband, as, rising 
from the lea-table, he went to the hat-rack, 
and taking therefrom his hat, twirled it

came to investigate too closely, there might 
be danger of insurrection and rebellion ; but

“But really it was unavoidable, Helen;

Turning to Helen, who still sobbed con¬

“ Helen, what have you done or said to

“I don’t know, I am sure,” sobbed Helen. 
“ I never meant to—I never dreamed of this.” 
“ Did he ever attempt to kiss you before 
this?” 
“ Never ! He always treated me with the 
greatest respect.” 
“ Has he been visiting you in my ab¬

“ He came to sing duets sometimes, and
