OLl> HOME, FAKKWKLL.
BY J. E. KI NS.
Farewell old home, alas, farewell.
With memories foiul w'e bid adieu
To parents, brothers and sisters dear.
To friends and neighbors all of you.
While memory loves to linger yet
Around the hearthstone of our youth.
We feel that duty prompts us yet
To tell, alas, the solemn truth,
Farewell old home, with all your joys,
With sorrows that we’ve helped you share.
With tears we’ve shed o’er triends now dead,
Farewell to girls, farewell to boys.
Girls grown to womanhood since then,
We mean the time when oft you strayed
Witli boys who now are stalwart men,
Away from school and truant played.
Farewell old home, we pause to think
Of prayers once offered ’neatli your roof.
She knew our wayward minds would driuk
I)ep into thoughts, far far from .vyuth ;
Our mother, ah! God bless the name.
The greatest boon to man e’er given.
Her prayers are echoed just the same
Although the soul’s high up in heaven.
Farewell old home, nr, word tis true
lias half ‘he meaning you possess,
It takes us back to childhood days
V, here mother’s heart would always bless;
And though in manhood now we write,
Call it not weakness here to shed
A tear for mother, though out of sight,
’ l’is true we know that she is dead.
Farewell old home, old hearthstone ties,
Fond recollections of the past,
Our mother’s prayers and tears and sighs,
May they in memory ever last;
And when we’ve done our masters will
And have our passport o’er the tide,
May we look forward up the hill
And see our home ou the other side,
For the ( ouhant-Ameiiican.
Life is What- We Make It.
The great desire of mankind in general
is to prosper and get rich.
Some go atliie as though they thought
people should be thankful for their pres
ence. Their seeming importance gener
ally terminates in a downfall at an early
period, and they find their level in disap
pointed existence. Others manfully per
severe, taking hold of things continually
as they appear to block up the way of
progress understamliugly, and finally
come out often ahead of their most san
guine expectations.
Life is made up of “up's and downs,"
and the sooner we learn to realize the
fact that to enrich ourselves we must
not trample on the right given us, but
must store up every faculty and power
of mind and body to use it judiciously
in working out the wealth that is in
store for us, the mo re certain our success.
If we maltreat associates, or strive to
gain our ends by dishonorable means,
we must sooner or later expect to be re
warded accordingly. Truly, life is in a
great measure what we make it.
There are some things we may win
with violence; others, and these are far
more precious, can only become ours by
moderation, patience, cheerfulness and
self-restraint.
Some persons think to make their way
through the difficulties of life as Han
nibal is said to have done across the
Alps, by pouring vinegar upon them—a
very unlikely process indeed. There is a
better way—the taking of things by
their smooth handles; thus they may
yield us their aid, if not their secrets to
enrich us, and wo shall be better and
wiser, if not stronger and richer people.
