THE HOME DAYS

the golden rod has whisperedOrOrWben the maple leaves are red

the n bins ntllt is emptyAnd the crickets prayers are said

r lu the silence and the shadowL hastening fallOf the swiftly

Come th dear and happy home JaysII OtjB we love the best of all

r Then the house hold gathers earlyit And the fire light leaps and glowsr Till the old earth in its brightness

Wears the glory of the roteI t Then the grandsire thinks of storiesAnd tbe children cluster sweet

Aud the floor Is just a keyboardFor the babys patteing feet

If lbs rain drops dance cotillionsOn the roof aud on the eaves

If the chill wind sweeps the meadowsShorn and bare and bound iu sheaves

If the arowflakes come like fairiesShow in shoes of silence we

Ouly crowd the closer closerWhere the cheery kindred be

Oh the dear moo of the motherAH she tuokn the laddies in

Ob the big voice of the fatherHeard oer all the merry din

Home and happy homely loved onesHow they weave their spells around

Heart and life and creed aud memoryIn the farmstead holy ground

When the goldenrod has ladedWhen the maple leaves are led

Jr When the empty net is clingingTo the branches overhead

In the silence aud the shadowOf the hurry later fall

Come the dear days com the borne° days

In the year the best of allMargaret B Sangster

Some Reflections on the Election

The recent election which resultedIn such an overwhelming victory for

the Republican party ie replete withlessons for all who will open their eyesIjgrt riceVH thtru I dojttx jffmpiahsrthat any political event except theelection of Honest Abe In the pres¬

idency and the Emancipation act hasbeen freighted with so much good forthe whole people and particularly forthe Negro as this one

Those whose limited visions havecompelled tnem to doubt the right¬

eousness of the foundation upon whichthe mueh talked of progress of theAmerican people Is being bull aswell HS those whose judgment hasbean suspended till after that electionmutt Hcnuowledge that America standsfur that which exalts nations andthat Our average fellow jitlzen is aBane and healthy man who believes indecency uutl has wholesome mind

Not rnly i the election of Roose-velt pruor of these asseitions but thefact thnt states are rising to that enl¬

nence where they make no hesitancylu stepping aside from thier partywhen b better wan is oflered by anoth-er
