MY ry Ik SIDE,

Ar home again I softly stand,
Watching my wife by the fireside there—
Her fair head resting 02 her hand—
Fast asleep in the easy-chair,
Poor little bird! did she weary grow
Watching so long my coming to greet?
Watching the shadows come and go,
And listening tor footsteps in the street?

I've no Fifth Avenue mansion fine.
With costly mirrors and pictures rare;

There’s but one picture I can call mine,

So gentle and pure and sweet I ween,

Nor a form so full of grace!

The last, best gift, most wondrous sweet,
With which God crowns my life!
Our little table is set for tea,
With simple china gilt and white,
But it is better fur than Sevres to ine,
As it gleams in the fire-light.

But Mable and [ ne’er wish for more:
We never go to concert or ball,

But L have music —Mabel sings

When like a bird with weary wings

“Come back, come back from dream-landnow,
Mabel darling!’ I softly call,

While on cheek and lip ant snowy brow
Tenderly my warm kisses fall.

it is hardly ‘possible to tell how greatly
Beatrice rose in my esteem during that
