wife, the mother of his babes,
soothing their plaintive cries
with soft charming lulabies,
while awaiting the return of the
husband and father from his
days work in the fields. Not
long does he enjoy the quiet
picture. The quick ear of the
waiting wife detects rhe presence

that speaks for the heart when
words fail, or emotion seals the
lips for the moment. Seeing
that his presence is detected, he
steps into the room, greeting his
beloved ones with a fond kiss,
and pleasant, cheering words for
the tired wife, whose weary arms
he proceeded to relieve of their
precious burden, by taking in
his own strong ones the sleeping
babes. Softly, tenderly, for fear
of awakening the gentle sleepers,
denying himself the kiss he so
much covets, he lays the sleep

his place at the table, first plac

supper, and placing the tempting

the country laborers. She seated
herself opposite her husband,
who helped her plate before re

in pleasing conversation, he had
been saying what improvement
he should make when they were
rich, as he hoped to be some
day. “For your sake and our
