Thoro I knolt bosldo my mother In tho twlllght'B solemn hour, As tho vospors bolls woro tinkling from tho vlllago church's tower, And ropoated as sho told mo, "Now I lay mo down to sloop;" Softly then wo'd pray togothor, "I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep." Then, with thrit fond lovo that moth ers aro tho only ones who know, Gently sho would tako and rock mo In lior doar arms to nnd fro. No, tho ciiBtlo In your story could not bo a homo to mo Whon compared with childhood's cas- tlo home, swoot homo at mother's knoo.

In hor arms I found a' rofugo from tho dnngors of tho day, And I wish that Hho woro with mo now to brush my cares away. All tho gifts that I might offor, I would gladly glvo to uo Onco again In childhood's castlo homo, sweot homo at mothor a knoo. JAS. A. POWER.
