THE FEAST OF THANK.S.
Years like winds that to blow, !
pass cease
Like stars that fell from heaven's dome:
By winds of years, by winter snow
Unquenched, still gleam the lights of home,
Among the living or the dead,
O, hearts we love where’er ye be, i
For you the sacred board is spread, j
The feast of Love and Memory 1 j
Clear eyes fulfilled of holier light,
Clear souls at peace past death’s dim banks, j
. !
The waves of storm-scourged years that roar,
May fleck the golden head with foam;
By the old hearths we sit no more;
Yet God be thanked for love and home!
Though hopes and joys, like April snow,
May melt, though good or grief befall;
For all man’s life, for bliss or woe; |
Be thanks said at this festival!

Towards morning he began to move ua

up. The mother, whose eyes had not
closed through the w hole of that long
night, could almost see the tonified ex
pression in his eyes when they fell on his
father s grim figure opposite. He rose
unsteadily to his feet.
“Stop, sir!” said the father, walking
to him. “I have a few words to say to ,

il Isn’t T„. he in the store?” she asked,
with her heart beating like a sledge

“Indeed, lie isn’t. He enme in for n

licd'd say. lie looked i ah- and sick, and
I’m sure ought t->have been in bed.”
Without a tyord .Mrs. Forrest hurried
home.
“What did you say to him?” she
cried, passionately, to her husband.
“ You've been harsh and cruel to him,
I know, and now he’s gone uway y and 1
shall never, never see my boy again J”
“I told him what I said i would,” he
answered, ro'dly. “One more chance 1
gave him for amendment. Yes. I told
him he was a disgrace, a clinging dis¬
grace, for I didn’t believe he would re¬
form. I gave him some money to replace
what he stole, and that was all. I don’t
regret a word I raid. Reproach your
own weakness. It isn’t just to reproach
me. Since he has chosen to leave us, it
is perhaps the best thing he could do.”
But though Mr. Forrest spoke in this
manner, he spared neither money nor la
bor to gain some tidings of his son. They
traced him to a seaport town, and then
lost all trace as utterly as if the earth had
closed over him. As months and years

Of bob-o'dinkums’ wildest tunes.

Or digs in thy far canyons dim.
My western land! I love thee yet.
In dreams I ride my horse again,
An 1 lireast the breezes blowing fleet
From out the meadows cold and wet.
From U .Ids of flowers blowing sweet,
And flinging perfume to the breeze.
The wild oats swirl along the plain;
I feel their dash against my knoes,
Like rapid plash of running seas.
I puss by islands dark and tall
With paintfsl poplars thick with loaves,
The grass in rustling ripple cleaves
