( !<.:11ter prefeet, exit sct·i be.) We found Gus. R. s1tting in the reading room over a -y,oLume of poems open at "l'he Marble Heart." He had a fu off stlfrt' in his eyes and was nervously pi eking the petals, of a faded rosebud. A punch in the side with our pencil, awakened !Jim from hi~ reverie. We recited the formula of interrogatives to him to which he answered only in monosyllables: "No"; '•Alas, I fear so;" "Yen, indeed." He murmured something a-bout the love the South should beat· for the North and s tid some day he huped they would be united more clcsely than at. present, (he still meant theN & S). We felt a great deal of sympathy and were inclined to remain and sigh and rend poetry and pick faded roses but a voice from without warned us tlw.t the next victim wns at !mud. It was w·.

HOME.

Copio.us as is our mo,ther tongue, few words ie he!' vocabulary convey a more expressive meaning to the

mind or more tender emoti0ns to the heart than home. Enthroned in the human breast, the love of home rules all other loves. The conqueror of nations crowt~e.i with laurels and surrounded with admirers would fain burst the bonds wiJich bind him to fame and seek a quiet home. The most abject of savages sighs as he leaves his hut and turns in his path to take a last lovk at its hallowed province. I would define home as the abode of sanctity and true sympathy. It is evirlent tiJat where sin, the ~courge of.mankiod, exists there can be no real happines~, no true love, nothing whi ch we love to ascribe to home in that high_est sense in which we here consider the word. It is true that our hearts are bnt immature b~ttle fields upon which the striff:s of life wnge incessantly although unknown to and unnoticed by those about us. Bnt we are jeaJou& Of our burdens as w~ll as of onr triumphs and nature demands that we seek the company of those, the eonls of who.;e hearts will vibrate in unison with our ·own. So "trong is this demand it has bren tmly said that if a man is to be tested, try how !ong he can live without sympathy. Nothing is __more common than to hear persons spe~k of the cold charity of Lhe world. \Ve are constantly seeking sympathy hut fail to find it amid the struggling mas~es of humanity ever present in life's busy thoroughfares. All have their own burd€'ns, their own hopes and while they may be ever ready to bugll at a jest they wish none of our melancholy. But at home wiJat a quiet blissful retreat! Here everything about ns is associated in our memories with the days of our childhood the brightness of which ti.Jc yeat:s of a lifetime are too few to clim. Here are our parents so den- to us that when they have departed nor1e froll) the whole human race cnn fill tiJeir place. Here we meet :1gain the companion of those days when we were innocent, the old house whieh sheltered us so long and ev~:ry nook and corner of which we are so familiar. The garden wherein we tended our little flowet· beds so carefully in summer and where we used to romp so much in the snows of winter. The paths which bore tbe marks of our childish feet so often. This one leading to the school wherein we never learned how sterp is the bill of knowledge. This one to the brook upon whose verdant banks we have so often sa t and watched the evet· changing water, here placid, there purling amid the rushes until we lose &ight of it around the bend in the meadow. Then our lives were as the brook, but a mirror of the heaven above. But home has ~omething more, sometbing above these I have men. ti onecl. It is th:tt real lov e and real sympathy which unites the hearts of the whole family into one perfect whole. It h'IS been generally recognized that' all states rest
