Flora Arthur'a Hume Slncaiinc. Though -we niay nol cbange the cottage Kor a mansión tall and grand, Orexchange the llttle grass-plot For a boundless stretch of and - Yet there's BOinethlng brighter, deaier ïliaii the weallh we'd thus cunimand. Thoajli we have not roenns to purchase Costly plctures rich aud rare - Thougli wo have not silken hanglnga For the walla so cold and bare, We can bang theiti wlth garlands, For the flowers bloom evcrywhere. We ?nn always miike home cheerful, If tlie right course wc begin, We can inake its inniaU-s bappy And tbetr truest blesslngs win ; It wül roake the smal] room brighter, If wc'il let the suushine in. We can gatlier round the firesidc, Wbeu the erenlng honi's ue long - We eau bliinl our bearta and voices In a bappy, loclal sous - We can gulde soinc errlng brother - Lead liim froin the path of wrong. We ïnay fi'.l our home with mnsic, And wil h sunsblne brimm'ug o'er, If galnst all dark Intruders We ill flrmly close door - Yet sliould evil sliailows enter, Wc must love each other more. Oli ! thero are trensures for the lowly, Wlüch the grandest fail to 3nd, Tliere's a cliain of sweet afl'eeiion, Binding lriends of klndred iniiid - We niay reap the choicest blcssings From the poorest lot assigncd. ■ I I I !■!
