In aqliiet little home on theweet side the
gentle and loving father was amngingllll
for the night. and as the little children
gathered around his knee to lisp thelrchild’
bed it was indeed a pretty domestic scene
that presents itself to the reader. Softly
rocking with his foot the crib where the
youngest of. the family. with sweetly part-
ed lips. lay sleeping. the eyes of "the food
parent were hedming with that unmatched
solicltude which only a parent can show,
and as he deftly disrobed the twins and
.preparcd them for the evening's rest it was
-‘b¢-autiful to watch the methodical exact
news with which all was done.
Experienced in all of the trifling details
which make the most perfect guardian of
childhood. the kind father’s precision and
self control were indeed a pleasing night.
and the most careful critic would find it
hard to discover any flaws in this home
management. which is the foundation of
all good Kowrnment and the cornerstoneof
the best civilization. Indeed nothing seem-
ed to be wanting to make the scene more
complete until the SiQOHd’IWIn. with that
quick curiosity whichoftentlmes in chil-
dren so quaintly betrays itself. even about
the most remote and unfamiliar objects,
suddenly exclaimed with startling distinct-
ness:
“Papa. where is momma?"

in his eyes. his whole face illuminated at
the thought of the one being he had been
so long accustomed to revere. replied:
