NEWS OF INTEREST IN THE HOME, SWEET HOME. ;tWhen the twilight shadows gather "And the call of peaee is heard, And the dust of eve is settling Where the battles have occurred, There’s a song that soothes us gently In the lands where’er we roam, As we dream of love and laughter To the strains of “Home, Sweet Home.” Far beyond the edge of daylight, : Where the night comes stealing up, Zephyrs bring the subtle music, i Ahd the wine within our cup Warms the heart to nature’s gladness O'er the land of briny foam, l,For there's hope and goodly promise In the strains of “Home, Sweet Home.” & —Jack Remington. ~ • *>.. . i , ■ !•; • * ; jjjji D.
