Spotless curtains-, shining windows'. most severely prim J Not a withered leaf reposing on its grassy bed, Modest flowers o'er early closing, ninny a perfumed head. Did you notice in (lie garden anv broken toys, " ' ; Did you hear the winning laugh of romping girls and boys?"

"Xo, I heard no childish prattle in this garden neat, Saw no drum, or "ball, or rattle, l)enrd no paltering feet."

"Did vou notice, when returning on the other side, Another house with lights bright buning. windows open wide? Did you see around a table, golden curls and brown, With iin over-weary mother gazing tondly down On a row of lusty rascals, each one in their place, Did you hear the mother whisper, "Darlings, gay your Grace?"

"Yes, I heard, and saw her mending | ragged coats and socks, j Heard her sigh when overlooking baby's threadbare frocks', I Saw her smile when laughter reached her, as she put things right: Well she knew the boys were charging 1 for a pillow fight. Yet', metln'nks this weary mother, with h'er kindly face, goon would wMlicr broken-hearted in the other plate. ._.: -Mri, E. F, Jenkins,
