Backward, turn backward, O Time in

Give us a maiden with akirta not so
tight;
Give us a girl whose charms, many or
few.
Are not expoaed by much peek-a-boo.
Give us a maiden, no matter what age.
Who won’t uae the atreet for a vaude
ville stage;
Give us a girl not so sharply in view;
Drees har in skirts the sun won’t shine
through.
Thon give us the dsnees of days long
gone by;
With plenty of clothes, and atepa not
so high;
Oust turkey-trot capers and butter-milk

The hurdy-gurd twist and the wiggle-
tail slide;

The child is unfortunate who growa
up in a cuckoo’s neat -ona that has to
be borrowed—rented.
Every man or
woman of mature years, looking back
to childhood’s years, is made happier
and holier with the thought that the old
farm-house, or the vine-dad cottage at
the foot of the hill, or the old house on
the village street, was "our home,”
our life-blood, your sense of proprietor
ship, were part of that home.
Then for the young couple there is
no more delightful experience held out
than that they shall when thev pledge
their troth have before them a home in
to which they may directly go, into
which the little ones may come, pos
sibly out of which the little ones may
be borne away to lie until that day
when father and mother, nevei forget-
ting, shall meet them in the home be-
yond.
Is there any happiness greater than
taking a home within the means of a
young couple, not straining every
financial nerve, but which can be
carried with reasonable ease, and by
their own planting and sowing and
training of vine and of shrub and of
tree, beautifying anil decorating the
home neat?
•
Some people, because of unfortunate
circumstances, have not had homes
when they were children, and may rot
have been inspired ¡to get a home when
they were married and such should have
the sympathy and assistance of those
who have fared better.
But the day may come ir middle life,
when the hair is growing gray or scent,
and when the children have gene away,
and once again they face life and tbe
world and the years to come, these two
together.
Why should these not have
the very beat that life may yet bold
out for them and begin a home?
Have you ever seen a mare beautiful
picture than a scant-haired father and a
gray-haired mother together begin life
over again in a cottage of their own,
and doing the things that tt ey longed
to do a generation before, in beautifv-
ing and adorning the cozy place where
the rest of their years shall be spent?
